Hey there. Just gave you a bit more describing thread title.

I will dig up a few good ones that helped me out when I started out.

Here we are:

Creating a weapon for Source "Glock tutorial"

Part 1: modeling the weapon
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... for-source

Part 2: unwrapping and texturing the weapon
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... rce-part-2

Part 3: rigging, animating and importing into Source engine
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... rce-part-3

Alternative modeling vid "Beretta tutorial"
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/beretta- ... o-tutorial


Small beginner vids. Anoying video player but some good ones for beginning and understanding 3ds max.
http://www.video-tutes.com/packages/3d1.php

Other than that I can recommend using autodesks own tutorials. they have some long .pdf's on a lot of subjects.

General questions and problems are frequently asked here in this forum so feel free to post pics and ask if you run into problems.

Good hunting :)

Seeing as it's a LAW under another name, most of it will be the tube (Cylinder) the ridge down the back, whihch can be done with manupulating boxes and whatever else is on it. I find the easiest thing to do is to take primitive objects then change htem

The IDF has a LAW: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f193-i ... f-wip.html

it is also ingame.

If you want to make your own I think it will be a good idea, if you want to pratice modeling.

The Zolja looks a bit different from the M72 LAW... its a bit longer, and the M72 LAW is 66mm and the M80 "Zolja" 64mm

M72 and M80 are really different...using the M72 might be a placeholder until the M80 is done

very nice for 1 hour
Also, put in backface cull and dont make it a tube waste of tris, noone will see it, only time you'd see through it would be when youve shot it and its on the ground
