Found concept somewhere here, looks a bit like TSA shotgun.

I kinda f***ed the smoothing groups up, so don't kill me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Any advice? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh and feel free to flame it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Most modelling i've done in a while

    thats a lot of polys there cut it down

    grip and the front part is far to highpoly you dont need that

    and make the the whole edges rounder except that good start

    Here's the deal-

    you're putting extra faces that are not needed. If you have a straight section, you don't need to put so many vertices in there. An example:

    Top picture: The most efficient way
    Bottom picture: Robs you of polys you can use to add detail later!

    Both achieve the same result though.

    The key is to put the vertices in strategic locations- these can be both apparent, and virtual (only in your mind, for future use). This can take practice, but will soon become second nature.

    Other than the locations mentioned before (grip, that part in the upper left hand corner) I've circled examples of polys that you can remove- just delete the middle vertices and attach what's left over together. Same result, fewer polys.


    It's not bad for a start, but you're not even half way there and are already pushing 1,000 polys <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Having two models of the same shotgun will be a problem, Back to the drawing board

    It's ok. I don't plan on releasing mine.

    It's just something to do tbh

    Take note of where headcrab puts the vertexes in the wireframe picture he posted, and compare them with yours. Release or not, it's good practice <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
