-Wip- Hk Sg1
Hey all!
Thought I would have a go at some weapon modeling. So far I am about 60% done I would guess. There are still alot of details left to do and probably alot of optimizing and finetuneing  The polycount is now at 1745 faces and I think Ill go for 2000 since that will be the limit in HL2. C&C welcomed!

I dont think that 2000 is the limit, its just probably the self imposed limit used by valve.
Do remember that you'll be able to delete alot of polys that will never be seen in the FPS view. The HK is lookin good so far.

ok, I just read somewhere that 2000 would be for the weapons, but it might just be a self imposed limit by valve yes. I will see if I cant get the time to put in the final details today.. got way to much to do at the moment

Ok, small update. Added some details, done some optimizing. Unfortunatly I have gone over the 2000 mark now
 the model is now 2105 faces.. If I use the optimize modifier it gets it under 2000 again though Still need some more details and some fintetuneing here and there.. and I'll have to see if I cant optimize some more. C&C welcomed!

i wouldnt worry about it being over 2000. Thats the limit Valve is placing on their models, not the limit of the source engine.

No, I dont really worry about the 2000 limit, but its always nice to have a goal, and try and get it as low as possible

The barrel's inner diameter is too wide, the bore needs to be a lot narrower

I notice you said 2105 "faces". Are you counting quad's or tri's ?

Faces means tris. Polygons/polies are n-sided. (no limit)

yes, just as ankalar says. Faces is tris, everything else is polygons. So 2105 tris yes.

tri?
a poly is 3 sided a quad 4 quad = 2 polys a word or advice: be very wary of optimisation filters they, generally speaking, ruin your hard work by deforming your model for you. remember your not gonna see half of your model once you turn it into a view-point weapon. so you can remove all the internal poly's of the barrell as your never gonna see 'em cylinders are easier than tubes, and the player will never know the diference. not sure about w_models and p_models though tell truth. Remember to leave some space if you need to include arms, they could waste more poly's than the gun. Last edited by toadstretcher; 11-07-2003 at 06:51 PM.
