Normal map it for a simple cylinder and see how good you can make it look

[Meotwister]

yeah make it go from 4000tris to like 20..

texture that junt

[st0lve]

I actually tried to make a normal map, but I sucked But, I'll probably make a normal map for that again. But first, I'll redo every shpere and such, since they take up too many polys even for being highpoly..

I need to UV map something highpoly don't I?

[Dennispls]

Hmm no

You only have to uvma the lowpoly.

Make sure the low poly has roughly the same dimensions and the high poly and then render the normalmap from it.

If its not good enough tweakt he lowpoly untill the resulkts are good

[st0lve]

Yeah I'll give it a few more shots

But do I have to give the lowpoly as many sides on the main cylinder? Since I always get some sketchy clipping if not.

[Dennispls]

In that case its probably best to have the low poly surrounding the high poly a tad.

Make sure nothing is intersecting

[Acumen]

i think ben mathis covers that issue a bit in his normal map tutorial. that intersecting low and hi poly thing:

i think you can use that for your model as well, since its not a basic box object, but round shape thingie and not a level texture, but one of a model

H&K US...well, ED SUP Match pistol:

Changed the name by request to avoid any copyright issues, although I'm really not happy with the engravings.

[ReFlex]

I like the skin.

[Meotwister]

I like the skin too

The gun reminds me of a usp mixed with the hl2 pistol.

[Polaris]

The HL2 pistol is a USP

[SnipaMasta]

I was thinking about testing it out in HL2 - but then I remembered how fun it is to compile (and there's no SMD export for Max 9 yet).

Cheers for the comments

[Meotwister]

The HL2 pistol is a USP

lol really? I did not know that... huh... interesting.

well then the gun looks like a mix of like the counter-strike usp with the hl2 one then

[dissonance]

looks nice

can i see a wireframe?

[Skjalg]

very early WIP of a replacement to the buggy for my SP.
