Ok m8's!
I've started doing a m31 finnish SMG which the russian's copied.. so AKA "PPS"

Here's a few pics:

and I could seriously need some help..
like:

anims, skins, help on making "caves" shown on this pic:

it's a good start...althoguh the bullets like a little out of proportion. Other than that it is great, keep it up:):hamster:

Would you like to skin it when its done? :PARROT:

You dont really need that many polys on bullets for a weapon model and the smoothing groups are a bit funky but you can fix that up just before you export.

As for "caves" generally you do that with boolean operations which Milkshape doesnt support so in the past I've just built them up manuall. Of course the alternative is clever texturing.

clever texturing. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow gj gelly! first model eh? looks good considering it is your first model. i could never do anything that's EVEN remotely close to this model :D

keep it up. get that skinned and i'll use it :)

I'd show you my first model but you'd laugh.

It can't be worse than "Bob the Ball"

So, I haveto use clever texturing?

What about anims?
Especially the reloading.. I really dont know how to...
I'll be soon releasing the textured or untextured version because I need help on the anims..

Splinter? Jennifer? :D

Well, I would REALLY appreciate it if someone would skin it, I have referenced it. So I have skinned it so you can use it as a reference, but I still got some pics of the gun irl.

here are a few:

Plllllease:)

yes jed please show us! i'm sure it looks awesome lol. you're the man at stuff like skinning/modeling! show us you must...

*sneeze* :(

no one cares about my model anymore ....

OH, i don't know why I didnt notice this before, not sure about the Finnish one's, but the Russian PPSs didn't use a belt fed system.
here is a fairly detailed photo, and the drum mag can be seen pretty easy: http://world.guns.ru/smg/ppsh41.jpg

You usualy don't see many belt fed SMGs.

This will solve your hole problem, the bullet size ratio issue, and reduce a lot of polys
