The weapons of my universe...

I was bored so I made this here model of the EM-27A1 energy rifle, a weapon from a story I'm working on in the Fanfics section. These shots are low-res, and it is just a model, nothing fancy...yet.

You can see a high-res shot here.

EDIT: should work now.

EDIT2: Damnit, the pics magically resized themselves, changing them to links.

Edited for those of us who don't use Internet Exploder. ~Crayz9000

D'oh! Forgot to rename them as .txt ...

EDIT: OK they all work correctly now, just have to full-screen the pop-up window.

Yep!

I'm working on it in gmax now, though wood is being problematic.

Not too many weapons have you pressing the trigger with your pinkie... I'm guessing its the handle on the bottom.

wood? i believe gmax is pretty much the same as 3ds max. even though i´ve read that the material editor is a bit different.
are there standard wood materials included in gmax?
if no you´d simply go to some website whcih offers you free textures and download the wood you´re looking for.
create a new material in gmax
apply the wood texture
apply the same wood texture in your bump map slot
apply a uvw map modifier to your wooden object
in the modify panel you choose the type of the uvw map modifier (probably box)
then make the lenght, hight and widht of the uvw map box all the same
choose the tiling
and that´s it.
