Hello, just popping in to say hello to all of you who still might remember me.

I was gone a while to get my last two weeks of studying and finals finished, but now that its over, I had a little free time. So I present a new model, mind you its WIP. Give me some crits, I need them.

Good work, but a couple of issues:

Ironsight/carrying handle should be narrower.

Buttplate should go further down instead of up over the butt. Compare with this: http://www.cactustactical.com/osc/image ... f-16m4.jpg

Looks good, but anybody else think the magazine is a little fat?

hey dylan, I know its still WIP and all, but if you want help with the thickness of certain areas just let me know, I have a M4A1 RIS (rail interface system) myself (airsoft..) which I'm using for reference aswell as pictures from the web. If you want I can take some pics of the areas you want info on, just let me know where

for starters here are some renders of my M4A1 wip:
(i know some stuff dont fit 100%, but thats because I'm using some stuff from my C8A2 as placeholder, like the carrying handle)

may i suggest making varrients

SOMTHING MISSING IN BF2

eotech

make some variations

some support style m4's

some with 203's on em

supressed and not

acog would be nice but i guess they already got that

redo the aimpoint(for gods sake the bf2 one is pitiful)

I 100% agree with the eotechs!

Eotech sights are not military issued and are personally purchased, so I don't think it would be suitable. Unless we are to assume the soldier in game mounted it himself.

lets go with. if troops(like how il be a fully airborne qualified soldier) use it in the field. well just say he mounted it.

If you want reference photos, try and hit up the Colt website. I used this when making the T91, etc.:

Cool. Though I must say, that those WIP photos have the same errors that were mentioned on mine via the stock if what I am reading is correct. That and the magazine is really long. Whats the poly count on that btw?

Varients are in the works, I was asked to make at the minimum a laser pointer/flashlight, and ACOG or similar. Got to make it nice and pretty before I hand it off to an animator.

I know it might look too long, but its fairly accurate to the thing I have here. This one isnt inteded for a game, so the tri count dosnt matter, however its around 3500 so far. This is mainly because of the rails, that takes up A LOT of polys.

my stock isnt very broad at all, its actually pretty thin, but your right compared to the stock of my weapon its still a bit too wide.
However, the carrying handle is the right size (even though its a placeholder), I know yours is still WIP and all, but your handle seems to be the same thickness as the body, which it aint, it sort of sloapes in after the "cylinder".

Took some crappy pics with my phone, if you can use them (sorry for crappy lighting conditions!! still setting up fixtures and stuff like that, its a new apartment...)
and I realized the reason why my clip looked wierd was becaues it wasnt fit long enough up into the gun...

And finally, merry christmas

That looks more like an M16A1 carbine than an m4 to me. The carry handle is not detachable and there is no forward assist.

if you were talking to me... I just always assumed it was a M4A1 RIS, but I guess I learn new stuff every day.

But then again, it might be the M4 cause this was a very very cheap airsoft gun I bought for the purpose of using it in a university project movie, and for modeling reference of weapons. That might be why it is not detachable.
