Ignore this line...![]() Circa 1899 730 polys, currently each moving section is a seperate object suitable for hierarchical animation, still needs textured and maybe a bit of optimization. I only had one side on reference pic to work from so the dimensions are probably a bit off. |

Wow, looks really nice. If you can spare some polys, it could probably use a bit more smoothing in the handle. Otherwise, I can't fault it. Excellent. |
| ||
Thanks :) Yeah, I was thinking about adding a bit of bevelling to the handle. |
| ||
you could lose the seam down the back of the handle , unless you need it for something. Also is is the handle meant to be that thick, looks a little odd trigger guard loks a little flattened too, the one in the pic I saw was much more ovular.bigger in proportion to the gun. Nice clean construction though, good stuff |
| ||
Yeah, it's more oval in the pic I have as well, but I'm trying to watch my polycount and it's going to be smaller when used in a game. The seam is a result of the mirror modelling, I will be removing that before I texture it. I have no idea if the handle is too thick, I onlyhad one reference pic which makes it tricky. It could be the perspective making it look that way, the handle is actually the same thickness as the barrel. |
| ||
i thought it might go in a little at the top, but as you say it probably just the angle I am looking at. anyway,its looking nice so far |
| ||
Nice one. Probably you could save som Tris at the Back and use them on the Handle Sides or Edges. Compare: http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg91-e.htm |

damn, I forgot the extractor. *EDIT* Does anyone know if the extractor simply lifts the bullet casings out or actually ejects them when it's opened. I know it's spring loaded, but how strong is that spring? |
| ||
Looks like less than 700 there are only about 120 visible in the screenshot |
| ||
It's comprised of several pieces in order to animate, trust me, there are 730 (in fact more than that since I've added the extractor and will add a bevel to either side of the handle. |

The Webley extractor will kick the cases clear (usually) ready for insertion of new cartridges. The cartridges themselves were often held together in "half moon" clips - thin strips of metal holding three rounds apiece so that the pistol could be reloaded more quickly. The reload sequence was usually three stage like this. - Operate release catch. Open and eject spent rounds. - Insert first half moon clip - Insert second half moon clip - close gun ready for firing. Without half moon clips the rounds would have to be inserted singly and obviously take longer. They also frequently had a lanyard ring at the bottom of the pistol grip. Dave |
