    well the thing slides back so it shows the barrel on the empty clip...

    in gmax everything looks alot better, is it just milkshape?

    ill round the grip too...

    yeah... if i must i will get rid of it eventually

    im not really worried about polycount because my machine is fine and the polycount is still around 1000

    im sorry i just cant look at that and say it looks nice... have you tried modeling off pictures or concepts? have you gone through tutorials? when i look at that i see triangles all over and its all unproportionate and stuff... it may just be the pictures... but i dont know... keep practicing though, youll get it down in no time

    i wonder if there are any good gmax tuts

    adding some smoothing groups would fix those triangles

    are you modelling poly by poly?

    well i usually do a semi-complex shape and fix it later

    poly by poly would be better though, right?

    usually for people new to modelling if you do poly by poly it doesnt turn out the best. much more chance of getting face errors. what i do is make a simple shape and then extrude it or add polies or more simple shapes.

    only works in 3dsmax

    linetool + extrude + chamfer + autosmooth = a chrono model
