Hi,
I'm new to torque but then again I'm not new to it. back in the day i did some mapping and modding for both Tribes and Tirbes2 and have owned the torque engine for quite a while just never got around to doing much in it anyway, my son and i have decide to try and make a small zombies attack kinda FPS as a learning project for torque and the game dev process. you can see what iv got so far here . I'm always looking for advice and pointers

yeah the pistol looks fine just needs to have the slide separated for animation but especially if it is a first person model it can even have a few more polys.

@ James, thanks for the comment on the pistol.. i think ill just make another model of it.. i had some strangeness going on with faces being created on the inside.. i deleted them out but im not sure if thats going to cause some problems with animating and importing in to torque.. i'm still vary new to Maya but it is a dream to work with
@ Tony, wow those are awesome. I'll probably use them if the game ever gets that far. i plan on doing most of the weapon and character modeling and putting my son on milkshape to model prop type stuff
and thank you all for you advice and comments!

@ Okashera, I think you are probably right.. think I will start by just trying to get the weapons in to the FPS starter kit i guess kind of a weapons mod but still keeping in line with the goal of the zombie game. maybe also work though the 3d game programming all in one book@ James, thanks for the comment on the pistol.. i think ill just make another model of it.. i had some strangeness going on with faces being created on the inside.. i deleted them out but im not sure if thats going to cause some problems with animating and importing in to torque.. i'm still vary new to Maya but it is a dream to work with

Other then that looks good! Oh, and that pistol shouldn't be to high-poly for TGE.
