its my first model in 3DS max.

Weeeehh... very nice..

I feel like an amateur :(

Look's tidy mate, keep it up, post some more piccys when your ready ;)

Not bad so far mate but the foregrip looks weird, could jus be the lighting on the render though.

Keep it up.

foregrip. needs to be flat


like the model a lot.. GJ mate

i dont get waht you mean soobin. perhaps a picture to help?

like this but who cares its just my opinion

i like flat handles

If you actually look at real pics of a BAR...

Having a flat foregrip would make it extremely hard to hold in real life.

Edit: Saw this in CDG. Looks nice. Just don't put a carry handle on it. ;)

Less of a dip in the forgripe would look better I think.

ive changed some stuff. completely new front grip, changed the trigger gaurd, sights complete, more detail e.g. full auto and semi-auto switch.

the front grip was too high polys. what do you think of it now?

Looking much better :) Is the front sight intentionaly not there yet? Would you consider an animated sling and no bipod or handle?

i am hoping (probably a long shot but ill try) 1 with bipod, 1 with handle and one with none.

sling, im not sure, its 1900 polys at the moment but after ive done the front sights and bipod well see about a sling.

***EDIT***

just a smooth render.

Looking tasty, have you got a skinner yet?

Is this for the current DoD or something in Source? I noticed the other day that the M249 in CS:S is somwhere near 5000 polys :eek: :confused: :carrot:

Blimey. One odd thing I have noticed, is that playing HL 2 gives me no fps lag, but CS : S does, it's really jolty.

Try cl_smooth 0

Jed: this will be for DOD not source.

Update: added a bipod, front sights and a part that connects the gas cyliner to the barrel

smooth

thanks for the feedback so far

I thought that i could do the bipod better so i did a second version. which do you prefer? the first one A or this one B?

it pivots on the cylinder.

Nice job dude the second bipodis very nice.

I never use the bipod, but I love seeing it on the model.

I prefer the second model with the longer bipod legs.

Great work so far. :D

*thumbs up*

Like the second one myself.

I have a suggestion for the top of the bipod make it like a line sight instead of the circular one

it has a line inside the circle on the sights

***EDIT***

pc is allmost 2600 now.

IMO, the second bipod is much better.

generally made the barrel bigger and the bipod smoother.

oh I see now that model is aweosome I have couple questions. Are u gonna use splinter sleeves on this? And when u set up the bipod for the anims make him put the sight thing near the handle up. Thatd be awesome.

i havent looked at sleeves for it yet.

Looks rather good, add more details and it would be great.

Is it possible you could make a handle version with the handle on the right side? :D
Like the m1918a2 bar on this page:

Looks awsome, hope you find a decent skinner.

Great BAR!

I really like this B.A.R. I was just wondering how you are doing on it so far.

nothing new tbh. just fixed the front sights.

im about to mesh it now actually. is anyone interested in skinning it?

*nudges and prods Splinter and Brutal*

*cough*

*joins in with the fun* :)

I cannot wait for this model to be done. Im looking foward to the final release.

RELEASE IT ALREADY!!

Yeah! SMASH THE SCHOOL!

We don't want realism, just give us the smoothshaded grey BAR and leave it at that!
