Whats easier? A vehicle or a weapon?

[Frostbyte]

Well I've been thinking of some weapons/vehicles latley and after thinking for a while I've decided to try to model (well after a few tutorials and whatnot)

The point is I'm trying to decide what would be much easier for a beginner to model in Milkshape, A Vehicle or a Weapon.

weapon if you ask me, because it doesn't have to have the interior

[ßoltster]

Neither is exactly difficult, but I'd start with a weapon. The node setup on weapons is easier.

Weapon, hands down, the vehicle has a lot more complex system, and its always hard to tweak it perfectly

[LeetZero]

You should start with simple items. Like a knife ; weapons.

weapon. Of course its smaller. Smaller the easier. :3...

[Barnabas]

I've never bothered with weapons, but setting up basic vehicles isn't that particularly hard just read through other vehicle's scripts before doing so.

From a modeling-only perspective, it really depends on what type of weapon/vehicle you are going to make.
Some weapons may prove to be more difficult than a simple car, or vice versa. Though really, vehicles have more twists and turns than your average weapon.

From a complete add-on perspective, and from my own experience, weapons are much more easy to slap together. Without scripting knowledge, both can be a pain.
From my experience and opinion, vehicles are best done in programs other than Milkshape 3D, mainly because of collision mesh quality (which determines quite a few factors with vehicles).
If, for example, you were making just a simple two-cube weapon and two-cube vehicle, the weapon would take less time to create completely.


Modeling-wise, I personally started out with weapons, going into vehicles later on.

I started out with vehicles. They caught my interest early. I scripted vehicles around when I started Blockland because I liked them most of all.

[Tyler66]

Weapon.

Though really, vehicles have more twists and turns than your average weapon.

Pun intended?

I personally prefer weapons as they are easy to work with and can do a numerous amount of cool things.

[Blastdown]

Pun intended?

I actually didn't expect anyone to get it.

wheres the pollolol

@poll: I prefer to model vehicles, as I find them to look better than "weapons of mass destruction".
