Hey all. Just felt like doing a weapon. This is the XM8, a recent rifle being tested by the military and possible standard issue in a few years. I did this model because I am a big fan of this weapon, and it's made in pieces, allowing it to have multiple functions. I modeled the main version of the weapon, but I did it in pieces, so that hopefully if I have time I can model the rest of the parts, and if it were in a game you could have whatever configuration you wanted. It's a little higher than I wanted but I figured since the texture will be so plain, better model as many details as I can so it looks good in-game. I do however have a 2200 tris version, taking out some of the smaller details - if the engine can't take a 3500 version.

Model: 3500 tris - I plan on doing the texture soon.

Feel free to give me crits and comments. I can change stuff now before I start texture.

-Thanks

aaaahhh the XM8. i modelled one of these too for the mod i'm in. but a tiny bit different. i like the way you have tackled this. i like how you have done the seperate bits, and good use of the smoothing groups. the one i done tho was like 1200 polys. ne nice to see what you do with textures here.
