Well my webserver sucks so I gotta go look for a new one for my files. My WIP is a model. It's a weapon model I made in milkshape, a weapon replacement for the pistol. It's a revolver, an if you've ever seen trigun you'll instantly recognize this...it's vash the stampede's revolver. Quite possibly the coolest handgun EVER. It took me a while, and the face count is 380 (ouch).

I'll have pics up as soon as I can. Don't reply until then.

Sorry for the poor quality of the images, milkshape and screenshots don't like eachother. The pics can be seen here:

I managed to reduce the polycount to 312, now might be the time to say I'm a newbie modeller :)

very cool...u should look into to getting Lightwave and if that's to expensive try Inspire 3d (LW's little brother)....u'd make a great modeler

Could someone take a screen shot?  I'd like to see it before I get it (crappy 56k connection, connected at 24.4k)

Um...actually it's not finished yet. That link leads to a screenshots page. I still need to skin it, and figure out serious modeller...I'm kinda swamped with work here :)

Speaking of megaman mods (it's mentioned in your sig) I once made this really cool astroman model. Shame my HD crashed :( Well I'll bang up another one sometime...

That looks pretty good man.  I'm going to have to plug Lightwave as well.  It's pretty good stuff man.

Wow that revlover looks pretty good I must say

...am I mistaken or is the general poly limit for weapons around 1000
that must be why the SS weapons look so smooth....

GAH!!!! 1500 dollars for lightwave? 500 for the little version?!?! That's friggin' nuts! I think I'll stay with milkshape thank you.

Looks like I've ran into a problem. I didn't skin my model (too hard- I'll get to it later), but I imported it so serious modeler anyways. Good news: the model shows up, I see a solid white pistol the size of texas on my screen. Bad news: I have no idea what to do from here...

I think I'll be starting from scratch again, saying I've made it impossible to skin (oops...)
