First Model

[xC4RN4G3x]

This is my first model in 3DStudioMax. I've made the model but I'm having some smooth group problems. If someone could send me a smoothing tutorial that would be awesome. 2700 poly without the magazine. This happened to be my first model because while I was working on my "real" first model, I came across a vertex problem that nobody could fix. Tell me everything I need to fix since this is my first model.

PS: If someone with lots of experience in 3DSM could smooth out my model that would be awesome(I have the unsmoothed model). I want to see what my model should actually look like because I feel that I've smoothed out my model totally wrong.

in terms of accuracy id say that its pretty good but its missing a few things in the foregrip.
apart from that modeling wise its a really nice model. are you going to texture it ?

yeah once I find a skinning tutorial. I'm also learning how to use photoshop CS so don't expect any skins soon. At the moment I really need to find a smoothing tutorial though. Lots of times when I smooth out a poly there is a large diagnol black line thing(can't really explain it).
What is the foregrip missing? Just want to know .

shape and form the foregrip of an ak is a curve not a slant

ok thanx

 

[mindless_moder]

can believe you got all the other details and forgot that one
it really is quite a nice model people just arent replying coz this is the 100000000000000000000000000000th ak.

hahah yeah, i realized that the ak is one of the "easier" guns to model. I'm gonna try something more interesting like the Mauser K98.

PS: I'm going to Italy so I won't be able to make something for a week for so. Kinda sucks But oh well. It might stimulate my mind for Map Making .
