why does it matter?
Dragunov was 3k pollies
mac was ~2k
BMW -something high (because of splines)
Glock was ~1k
Paintball gun before that meshsmooth was 2.5k
indie Car was ~1.7k before the tires. (they are for show)
I really dont see how this matters, because I can probably guess yours are extremely low poly because of the lack of detail. and the incredible use of...boxes..
I'm just curious.. I'm at a huge disadvantage bcause Wings doesn't have half the stuff that other apps do..
You don't need to practice to get "good" at modeling. It's learned over time.Quote:

back on topic:
Leukemia inspired me to model the origional 1911, so after about 2 and a half hours, heres what I've got so far:

Now onto skinning...
You're missing some details, and some parts of it are just plain wrong... A colt is by now means something hard to model either, so get looking at some more referance pictures before you start uvw mapping that. I'm not so sure I'd like to see what you've done with the internals either. Also, polycounts have everything to do with it. Being able to keep a model highly detailed with low polycounts is a talent. Even if it's not for a video game. Making a render uses up all those polygons too, the less you have the faster it's going to render. Blegh, I'm just really one who hates messy meshes.
I am confused. That is almost identical to the reference pic i used, and I don't really see any detail i left out other than the internals (no done yet, I dont have any good reference pics on this yet).
If you would be kind enough to point out the mistakes or parts missing it would be greatly appreciated (PM maybe so we dont knock this thread off-track).
here is my reference pic:

*EDIT* aw crap i see i forgot the safety lever spring (the cylender above the grip)
are you blind or something?
No im not. I just dont see what you are talking about. I see some small trivial things (a notch in the slide, a screw behind the safety latch) but nothing that severe. As I said it would be greatly appreciated if you guys would instead of saying "are you blind" give me some pointers. please.
Yeah it's a gun we can see that at least.Quote:

I modeled before (hard to imagine) and I can pretty much say that even I am capable of modeling something you did.
Just add all the useless, unsevere details in the reference picture. :D
you're just absolutely not reading the form correctly. your details are poorly shaped, and a lot of the larger pieces just appear plain wrong.
