Modelling Guns (Weapons)

[SquirrelGrunt]

Hello, new here,

I was wondering if there is any Max tutorials on modelling Guns using a reference image, or anything similar? I've noticed automotive modelling uses a reference but I find that to be more complex then a simple rifle or handgun.

Handsguns are easy load the image into the Front viewport make sure you match the bitmap and check the backgrond and also do the same lock pan and zoom

with the spine line tool trace around the handgun once you have completed the handgun shell name it "shell" where the trigger on you use a cylinder and put in in the hole where the trigger is and boolean the cylinder becfore you work on the trigger. once you have done this select the hole handgun and extude it......

There are also a lot of Tutorials online google 3ds max handgun or rifle tutorial there will be about a billion results

good luck
