I guess technically Beastie Boys are hip hop, but I think they're sometimes considered rap...

Lincensed to Ill and Ill Communication, man.

Ignore these people.

Use as many polygons as you want, as long as the result looks good.

The issue is that if you use too many polys in a gun, it ends up looking cluttered. It's a stylistic limit, not an actual one.

The thing with polycount is that it has no actual impact on gameplay/function, but it generally corresponds with the style of blockland to have a low polycount

The idea is to have as low of a polycount as possible, so using hexagons or octagons instead of 12-gons or whatever.

Frankly, Zeblote, I'd like to think I'm more qualified than you are to talk about this

Edit:
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think it's fair to discount someone's opinion, especially if it's perfectly valid.

The black guy from Fame, Tyrone Jackson.

Aah, it spins so fast. The model looks pretty cool, but I can't really tell because of how quickly it's rotating.

So most guns should be no more than two thousand polys, but around one thousand is generally considered alright. I think 750 is the most desirable, but quite often it isn't viable.

If you told this story to the cops, they would go try to find him.

Anyone have the ms3d file laying around? It's broken.

I just downloaded them and they work just fine

That looks real good. It also looks like a pretty good adaptation from the manga/anime

also, eating some baguettes

a couple years back, Gravity Cat released a gun - called the CX14 I think - that had an extremely high polycount, and spawning just a few of these could cause a frame rate drop. But then again that weapon had a ton of smoothshading, which could've accounted for the lag

regardless I was able to lower the actual polycount of the GSR down to around 3300 lol

That may be true, but all of takatos (beautiful) weapons have a really high polycount and there has never been a problem with them, so it seems like it doesn't really matter.

I like the choice of colors
how unexpected, nearly quadrupled-- 3947 faces :/ the stupid little square screws that originally counted for one face add on at least 6 on top of that one face, and the hexagon ones add at least 12

I know how I can lower the poly count but I don't know if it's worth the time-- if ~4000 faces isn't too much for just a weapon in BL

The thing with polycount is that it has no actual impact on gameplay/function, but it generally corresponds with the style of blockland to have a low polycount

The stupid spheres at the top of the Phlogistinator were bothering me, so I switched them out.

So I'm kind of running out of TF2 stuff to make, and the big chunk of what's left is the Dr. Grordbort stuff. I hadn't intended to make it, but I'm thinking that now I should.

Of the following seven, what should I make, what should I not make, and what should I make first:
