Great job so far,really great.
You guys are not joking at all,
just keep up with this tempo and quality !

How many triangles can be up to this rifle?

For a first person model you really should aim for around 6k to 8k tris, although you can go up to 10k but I really wouldn't unless you need to.

3rd person should be around 2k tris.

That looks awesome! Keep it up man!

Model will have about 10,500 triangles. It may be enough? Otherwise I would have to redesign many of the key elements of weapons which negatively affected the overall shape.

If you do have to reallocate tris, put them into the rear of the weapon and the sights where it will be seen by the player the most.

I know. Most of the pieces were fired in a normal map. The question is about 10.5k tris is accepted as the rifle?

No, it should be around 8k tris at max.

Does your tricount include the scope ?

Very nice! I can see quite some differences between this and PKM for sure.

Absolutely solid work so far mate.

To cut some tris, I would get rid of the spring inside and just texture it on as its only going to be seen briefly in reloads. Also on the ammo box, the rings on the side facing away from the player can be got rid off as you wont see them. Some other small bits you could optimize but imo its looking fine so far.

10k with the scope is fine imo.

Just make sure you follow this for the 3p, this essential for good performance.

Its not ideal but its passable ye.

Also with your bullets, you will need to replace them with our ones that match the shell ejections

Hi, I've updated MTO's UKM-2000P, this is our new version: p3d.in - UKM-2000
9733 tris. It's the model without scope and rail, rail is WIP.

Looks great!

Bolts on the right side have flipped normals, just check it out with backface occlusion and you'll see

You might want to try and bake the spring into a flat plane, see how that looks, would spare quite a few tris.

becuase the bullets you use seem rather unoptimized on their tips.

Also you have some unvisible polygons, on the back of the barrel, on the string and on some cylinders (they are all inside the model).

Thanks lucky. I was hoping that you will fine some errors in the model. Nowadays I'm a little too tired to find out all issues, especially when I work not on my models.

I'll fix the flipped faces, I see it and I was expecting that it will be flipped (but I forgot to fix it before uploading). I think I will leave spring the way it is. As for bullets, I have to wait for 1.0 release.

Where you noticed the unvisible polygons, I see the one at the back of the barrel, but where are the others?

I will post with pictures in a day or two. Are you sure you cant get them bullets from the team now?
