DeleD Community Edition

[stuwk]

Hi all i recently started modeling with DeleD so I'm new to this forum.

My first model in DeleD i thought id try a Colt .45 which is my favorite pistol







Not finished just the basic part of the gun. Details not done yet.

criticism appreciated

EDIT: I feel like such an idiot, i was in a real hurry so i didn't try the link or anything. Sorry about that the images are fixed

It's a bit edgy, isn't it? Not bad for a first model though. You should subdivide the larger regions and move the "inner" vertices up and down, so you have a variation in height. For round edges etc.

Yeah...and the trigger guard is rounded on stock 1911s, not squared off, unless it's a custom job.

[granada]

This might give you some ideas

Thanks for the tips guys. I know I'm trying to round off the trigger guard but I am having trouble rounding the edges of cubes.

Is there a UV mapping function for LITE?

[chronozphere]

Yeah.. there is. Just select a viewport and hit the UV button in the toolbar (at the right). You can also use my UV-mapping plugin (NashaUV) which should be listed in the plugin-menu (Select your object before running the plugin).

[stuwk]

Thanks chronozphere ill try that out.


I did some smoothing (other side is not done yet)

[stuwk]

Sorry for double post but for anyone who cares i textured it.

I know the texture is horrible but its my first model and I'm happy with it.







I dont know why the texture looks so bad but thanks chronozphere for your UV editor that helped me a lot

[trucker2000]

It looks great.
My only critique is you should use a cylendar for the barrell instead of a box. Barrels are always round.

Yeah i thought about that after i made it, but by then i just wanted to finish the texture. Thanks you

[Jeroen]

I think the texturing looks pretty good, especially for a first time.

Thanks guys. I'm going to use this in my game but the gun will usually be viewed from a birds eye view or far away.
