Nice model. I wonder why the US military is so allergic to bullpup weapon systems.

For 1800 polys it seems very low detailed. I like the texturing job, but you can clearly see some very hard edges.


Tim(Posted 2004) [#5]
i don't think so, i guess its not really visible heres.
instead the texturing job isn't really good cause its just an edited foto with photoshop

i'll do another render next time with better textures and "more" detail but the real weapon doesn't have much details too.

Because there no point in haveing a fully capable assault rifle, that's as small as a submachinegun. Bigger is better, didn't you know? Compare the OICW with the G11. Guess which one the US adopted?

Personally I think the model is really cool, although I agree that it doesn't seem like the 1800 polys are well distributed.
