One question, once I have skinned the .bmps how do I preview the textures on the model, I have milkshape but whenever I click on the materials tab and browse to the .bmp it screws up the model..

Lol nexus, the trigger is completely black in the first one, so it blends in with teh model, and in the second one you can't see it cause I havent skinned it yet. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

eh, i LOVE the model, but the skins...just dont do it any justice IMO. the way i see it, they are too basic. rokian, that black skin, if you dont mind some c&c: The screws, espessialy the large 4 on the left side panel, look too uniform and are large on that one spot. also, the different peices of the model dont smooth well into one another, when skinning i believe that that it should all just flow into one, not many seperate peices. like in that greenish one, where you have just started, i dont know if it is the render or the skin but it is darkened where the peice joins the body. what i do when i have peiced like that, ill cut each peice into a new document, and paste them together, skin it as a whole then break it back up to the mesh. one more thing, i hope you dont think im flaming but i want this to turn out good i feel you have the knowlege to do it. the scratches: like someone told me a while back, try to think how the scratches would get on the gun. the scratches are too dense IMO, if you scratch something its usually an accident, you wouldnt "accidently" scratch the same spots over and over. thats all i have for now, im tired. i might try a crack at this tomorrow.
I don't mind C&C at all, in fact I welcome it so it helps me to become a better skinner <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . And I see what your saying about the black skin, I'll work at it some more hopefully it will come out better.. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Haven't done that for a while. Anyways, decided to finish up the skin. Would be cruel if I didn't. Now I'm going to return to bed to sleep off this hangover.

Here are the .bmp's. I've indexed them. They're still the original size, 512x512.
BAshh, if you want any mods/changes, e-mail me. I'm pretty sure that works.
