Ok I've fixed above issues.

First render, pretty, isn't it? 1638 tris (reduced 200 tris from old version)

Nice job ddeo

Nice work. From looking at your refs, i think this handle should have a little tapered shape, being little wider in the base and narrowing to the ball on the end:

About the welding, from my understanding it has two benefits. It prevents z-fighting and it keeps the actual area of the model, that you have to UV and texture, smaller. Obviously the downside is that it rises the tri count.

So welding is needed if you have two large planes close together, and is not necessary if you have two "boxes" meeting at a large angle.

Examples from my model:

I think I will need to weld it here for the low poly

No need to weld this one

Thanks for info, I've fixed that handle too. Thanks.

Update with normal map.

are those Gear Wheels modelled or are they baked ?

they should really be texture only would be a waste of polys

The cog teeth are done via opacity map. Post up your Uv maps ddeo?

ddeo · 2012-06-10, 20:48

Yeah teeth are baked.

One question, how detailed grenade launcher model should be? Right now I have a little less than 1700 tris, but I heard that I should have 500 tris model. Hmm?

1700 sounds fine for the 1st person mesh. For the 3rd person, you are looking more at 500 or less. Still got some big smoothing group errors to fix up though.

Out of curiosity, did you bake in blender?
