Hi i just started this model a few days ago and make the textures with 3dcoat and photoshop... i must confess that i also used zb for some parts of the gun... ;D

This is my weapon concept for games. Modeled and retopoed in 3D-coat. I used xNormal to bake the normal maps.

Well finally got around to weapon retopo. I probably went about it the hard way, of course! I retopoed every piece at the mirror symmetry line. So both sides of every object are mirrored and split at the center. Actually a couple parts left(main housing needs to be done in Blender 3D, it's like a cave and auto-po can't handle it.). Now I have to line up loops and join seams. Does anyone actually import weapons in separate pieces like that(but joined as one, except animation parts)? It would work but I don't know how acceptable it is, or actual problems with it. I probably should have joined some continuous parts and retopoed, would have saved time actually. Well it was good practice retopoing different shapes anyways!
