i started on modeling for a deserting eagle, and i need to work on the back of the handle a little more, but other than that the geometry for the handle is almost done, what you thing... also take into consideration i am a beginner at modeling... illl continue wok on it tommorow, but for now, i have to go to bed... and by the way this was done in gmax with box modeling (as you can see), what you see took me about half an hour...

for gods sake, please remove your outrageously large sig... but what happend to the handle?

That's the bit he's done... it looks wrong. I can't fully explain, but it just does. Mainly because the slant to the edges is in the wrong place and wrong angle, but it looks a bit too wide, too...

Not bad for a beginner, but needs work.

3 different boxes for only the handle, i would say learn plane modelling but it seems you still need to learn how to polygon model.

srry about the sig... i meant to resize that... ill have to do that... but for now.. its not done, yet, ill finish the modeling, then skin it, attach the boxes togethor, and wala, you have a desert eagle, and i put it over the original pic for comparison

You should try plane modeling. More efficient and less frustrating. Alone with more detail.

Please continue to update. I've always loved the DE.

well i finished the hardest part, the trigger area and it ill have a pic in just a bit... oh, and i fixed my sig
EDIT: heres the pic, i made it so that you can see that whole original pic below for comparison

You're image plane is stretched, that's why it looks weird.

why do you always say "i would tell him to learn to plane model" well you dindnt so we dont need to no that

that was a little off-topic...

here it is, the finish for the basic geometry, low-poly desert eagle... ill have some better pics tomorrow, but i got to go somewhere right now, and im in a hurry... sorry for the inconvienence


EDIT: here are some more pics, i didnt hae to go as soon as i thought i did...



please vote so ican see what you guys think...

He is doing it all wrong, understandable since he seems new to modelling, thats why i said learn further polygon modelling. Because his modelling is pretty much taking a bunch of primitives and modelling pieve by piece.

I suggest doing some more tutorials on Polygonal modelling then taking the jump to planes since they are more efficient and could save you polys if done right.

This guy whom I dont remember the name of, made a tutorial on plane modeling a baretta, its like 7 parts or something (I have it somewhere on my old harddrive).

Upon watching and following it, I learned to plane model, thus making my attempts at making guns, much better and more realistic.

I started off liek you are with the DE, however, and got many possitive comments on my outcomes (probably because I had them skinned as well).

So keep doing what your doing, getting used to the program, them move onto the next step. If you need help drop me a PM.

yes but it is a b1tch downloading the videos

Not if you got a super duper downloader.

lol, everyone is always complaining about how long it takes to d/l the vids. ya'll act like you got something better to do

i'm only kidding. the video d/l may take forever, but, it's worth the wait. patience is a virtue. no shit.

i know, i must be doing something wrong here, but how do you think i am for a beginner, and what do you think of my potential as a modeler?

it aint bad for a beginner, like i said you could do that handle with one box if you practice a little more.

i would work on it right now, but that was on my laptop right now, and i dont have access to it right now (the power cord shorted out, and were hoping to a new one later today
