Ok, calling all people with friends in Iraq or Russia. I need HIgh Resolution shots of the gun from the side with the gun level. Any and all help appreciated, i'm trying to start this agian, but the detail work is getting in the way and trying to make the thing round is driving me nuts

WOrk so far
Poly=384
Tris=384
Edges=1112
Verts=201

So far it's goign slowly, now I've started I'm actually commited to doing this. Biggest issue is the detail work, but I'll get to that soon I guess
BTW I wish the guy in the picture was that smooth, all I got is pixellated crud
EDit, I'm going to see if I can up the detail by doubling hte size of the picture in photoshop and replacing it in the plane
2nd Edit: No luck with that. Anyone know how to make it so that 3DS MAx doesn't slice up my pictuer and make it look like pixelated crap? The details are hard to follow when it does that

That guy doesn't seem to be at all phased by the un-earthly blue his anti-tank weapon is...

[DeltaFart]

No kidding haha, well I redid the model, going to be a long ass time of work to make sure it's right with all the thing vertices, but the basic model is there, just need some high res shots of it without all the stuff blocking the corners where everytihng meets

Its a common problem for most beginners What you need to do is configure your gfx driver to give you higher res textures in the viewports.

I nicked a old screenshot from another post but it shows you the menu you want to set up for this. Go to "Customize -> preferences and the "viewport" tab. Hit "Configure driver". See my settings under "Appearance preferences"? its texture sizes, by default max set them to a low locked resolution (cant remember) but as you can see I've set mine to the highest and making max try to hit the resolution of my input. This comes at a cost in viewport performance, but unless you are making stuff in the 100K's of tris you dont have any problems



EDIT oh yea, you need to close max and reopen it for the changes to take effect.
