I'm so proud of myself... I finally finished this model for a project I'm working on, adn I thought I'd share it with WHT visitors/ members. :D

I still gotta do some texturing, but the main modeling is done. It was made it in Rhino.

Enjoy...

Note to mods: If this is too inappropriate, feel free to remove or move it elsewhere :)

That looks quite cool

How did you make this?

Good work :)

Quite interested aswell what program you've used

It was made it in Rhino.


Although I'm sure any 3d modelling program would work just as well.

Rhino ? .. blah, get XSI and start doign some serious work ;)

Thanks, hypernatic.net & diederik... It was made in rhino, Here (http://www.rhino3d.com).

I knew somebody was gonna come in here and do this... no names *cough*CRego3D*cough* :D At least you didnt come in talking about Lightwave :)

I borrowed the demo of of softimage from a friends and hated it. Rhino was the only modeler I found where I didnt need to learn a difficult interface (I have no *real* 3d experience) and was able to make something the first time running it. Here is the software I've tried recently, I have also included how they were to me.

Truespace (http://www.caligari.com) - Hated it... Very unstable.
Amapi/Carrara (http://www.eovia.com) - Good for organics, very under rated...
Softimage XSI (http://www.softimage.com) - I got lost in it.
Maya (http://www.aliaswavefront.com) - the gui looks and feels cheap.
LightWave (http://www.newtek.com) - I got lost in this one too.

plus others.... I dont feel like listing on here, otherwise I'll be typing all day ;)

Any program would be able to do this, but rhino is the only program that doesnt kick my butt around the room. Hence the reason why I got rhino, for Xmas :D I'm just some hobbiest with limited funds and expierence, so I'm not worried about getting the big-boys stuff..... Yet.

When I was renaming the materials, I noticed there was a missing plane, and I had to tear it apart and fix it.... *sigh* Its fixed now :)

I don't think you can be off topic in this forum.

It looks neat. Especially if it's your first big model.

You'll have to show us some final renders when you're done. :)

That is very kool! :)

*gives a pat on the back*... well done mate! :beer:

Thanks guys/girls/whatever. ;)

I've made only a few others, but this one is higher quality than the others I've made.

I made it for a series called "Render Wars" at renderosity, so I'm making this gun specifically for my faction in this series. I would post my war declaration image here, but its a little graphic ;)

I'll post a final render of it with its intended user after I get all the little stuff worked out. *sigh* I gotta open the file in notepad and rename all the materials, but the file is only 650K uncompressed.

After I'm done with it would anyone like to download a copy of the model? I have a 3d Studio (3ds) version and soon will have a wavefront object version (obj).
