I saw the models in moddb....and they are a too square...as i saw you want the game to look realistic...i advice you to search for a good modeler...maybe i could help...i do not have modeling skills but i can search ppl who can make good models.

You haven't the slightest clue what engine we're using do you? Are you currently, or have been an active modeler? If so, you should know that models and textures work together. All of my models are un-textured (seeing as we don't have a texture artist). Plus, what weapons are you referring to?

You are using a self made engine...else you would specify on the moddb webpage.
And i wasn't referring to the weapons the weapons are pretty good,i was referring at the player models...
This One
This One
And
This One

And please don't take it wrong...i was only trying to help...sorry if it sounds...well...that i have something with your models because i dont....i only suggested to work a bit harder because a great fps action game needs some good models...i know this will sound like an insult but the models above looks a bit like cartoon game models:|....
You also have some good weapon models like this one....i really like the weapon models...

And no,I don't have any modeling skills but i tried once to make a model.It was a simple look of a sword,I made it from 3 "objects".A cylinder and 2 boxes,but this was 1 year ago.And about textures...i could make some in photoshop but I never took my time to learn how to apply them on models.

Anyway,I would like to help you guys with mapping...I used to make maps for counter-strike 1.6 in worldcraft 3.3...some of them looked really good...and please,i know its not the good place to talk about this but i saw you didnt checked my post at "Join Us!!!".

Well I understand your confusion with the engine, but If you had read our summary, it clearly stated that we are using the modified quake engine FitzKurok. Polys are pretty limited on that engine, believe it or not, the model you pointed out has the highest count out of all of my models (1056 tris, and that's pushing it).

I understand your concern, but keep in mind that this will be displayed on such a small screen, you'll barely notice.

EDIT: Also, I did check your post. I just didn't feel like typing.

The reason they look plain is because they are not textured. I just colored the polys.

What's with all of these people not understanding art styles, and the fact that this game is in the future. When has there ever been a written rule stating that weapons have to look realistic to be good? Look at TF2. None of their weapons look realistic, but they all have a distinct, artsy feel about them that makes them fun.

In case you didn't know, I'm not aiming to make the weapons look realistic.

Also, I won't be showing any of my maps until I get a majority of the city done.

If you were stating your opinion, you would have said you didn't like the weapons, which I respect. But you said that the weapons look bad, so obviously I'm going to take some offense. Thanks for the feedback though.

Not much. I've been mostly mapping. Nothing to report on though. I haven't heard much from joealtair3000 much lately.
