Pretty good if you're starting out.. Shading isn't bad, but could use a little work.

Why's it yellow though?

The shapes are OK. But the shading is a bit weak.
Here are some of the tutorials(made by very talented members) I used whe making guns for my mod:

Believe me, different modders have different contrast, saturation and callibrated colors at different monitors. In fact, at some PC's colors are similiar but never perfectly same, also every people sees colors in different way.

Outline is nice but too small contrast and too bright colors (yellow).

The "L" one has a bit strange magazine but the "H" is damn beatiful. You just need to add some details.

Btw: color is almost the same as orginall and imo don't need to be changed.

...You also need to add some good holographic or colimator scope :)

I was actually planning on making the ELGM...
Question: Can the ELGM fire without the SCAR? Look at the picture....

I'll add accessories like handles/combat scopes/silencers when I get shading and stuff as best as can be....

Thanks again, means alot from you super awesome modders.

EDIT: Fixed up the magazine for SCAR-L, looks much better then before IMO. Im gonna darken the colors a wee bit and fix the shading. I just started an XM8 compact for the MP5 slot - and after I'm done work it into its other configurations (stock, sniper, support).

My ambition is to make a Future Force Warrior/GRAW full mod.

could you show us the image of the new one? 'Cause I can't spot the difference :)

I've also found the bug on the SCAR-H. It has too long magazine. The real one looks like this:

Oh, they're fine, it just seems kinda squished together alittle...and a handle on a SCAR-L seems wierd. I love your mods Dairy, BF2 is awesome  :P

Yeah, sure. Ill do it after I finish up my M8. So you want the SCAR - L/H to have both the GL and scope? Or what combinations of accessories do you want on them?

On the SCAR - H I added a darker line where the magazine clips into the gun to better differentiate between both parts - similar to what I did on the newer SCAR - L. I think it looks much better because of it. I kinda like the newer style, but some of you like the older - maybe I'll stack both on top of each other and do half of each (top one with 50% opacity)  :P

You can do different accesories to add to the weapon. Like:
 1 - Normal Scar - L/H
 2 - + GL
 3 - + Scope
 4 - + Handle

that's my idea...

You can make as many configurations as you want. Few examples:

SCAR-L + ACOG + vertical grip

SCAR-L + EoTech + vertical grip with mounted flashlight in.

And much more....

Just made the somewhat fictional MR-C from GRAW (Crye Modular Caseless Rifle)

My best work to date IMO (took about 5 minutes whereas others took 30 minutes to an hour)

It's a little boxy near the end of it and it could use a few Alpha pixels in the middle of the grip.
But it;s good colours. :D

New SCARs are really good ;)

Date Posted: 16 January 2008, 10:51:52
I've spoted one thing - shell ejector is too long it should be as long as the numver of inside mag pixels + 1 pixel (4). And in "H" it should be higher (bigger shell diameter).
