Hey all,
Last year I began working on modeling the Heavy’s Mini Gun. Sadly the original files were lost after my hard drive was wiped 
but luckily I had some backups converted to cough Lightwave cough in handy. My modeling skills were rather noobish at the time, so anything odd is just a result of my past inexperience.
Tell me what you think! Be honest but polite, I’m still a minor so my brain isn’t that developed. Oh and don’t worry, all images seen were made in Blender AND ONLY Blender.
If you are using blender 2.5 i would say maybe a tiny little bit of indirect lighting to set it off. I looks cool but I can only see small parts do to it being black with a lack of lights. Try indirect at a value of say 0.08 -0.10 and see if that allows for a better view.
Yeah, I had to make a switch off between that and having the lights blown out too high. It was done in 2.49 (which I still use).
I just downloaded 2.5 and am adjusting to it.
Lol I know how it is. 2.5 is a pain sometimes but after a while you will go back to 2.4 and wonder how you ever used it at all XD. ttyl
And as far as having the lights blown out to much. If you put an area lamp on both sides and make them large by using the scale in the menu not the S key. set the value very low like maybe .1 or so with no spec nor shadow. Then move it back so the distance (the dotted line is about 2x farther than normal it will make a slight feathered light. Should be able to fake idirect light like that. Just a thought.
Oh My Gosh, Who Touched Shila?!
Very nice. Now we just HW Guy to go with it.
i thikn that lower part of that gun is not that dark 
i have tf2 and it is almost white
