Clearing up my original posts/Blender Help

[Muffin]

I have posted my guns and that i have been making a lot recently... But now i just want to clear everything up with a couple of questions
I dont have use of blockland right now because i dont have my own computer.. but:
-How are the models supposed to be made? can there be curves? strait slants? or just blocky.
-i heard something about barels, What should my barels look like?
-Any other tips for helping me in this program
Thanks..
Ill try to stop posting so often

Erm... There are lots of different styles different people like, look at some famous modders models, for example, Heedicalking, Pandan, Bushido, Kaje, or Gravity cat. Look at them and see which you prefer. Personally I like Heeds and Pandans.
Make your barrels have about 8 sides, it makes it look more blocko.
What program are you using? I recommend Milkshape for the 30 day trial, then if you like it, buy it, and if you dont, move to Blender.

You forgot Bushido-- he has a great blocko modeling style.

People had also said that they need to be blocky.. no curves..

The default gun has an octagon for the barrel if im not mistaken.

It doesnt meen everythings made out of squares, its simplified shape.

IE: things that are round are octagons or hexagons, other objects are usually edited cubes or something of the sort.

Ill keep that in minds.. Sadly.. I prolly wont be trying to make a nicer model until i get Blockland back, so i can see what a majority of people do for there weapons, Lookat models on rtb..

(I know i can do it on the add-ons, But i think it would be easier to jsut wait for RTB xD)

I put Bushi in.

Also, here ya go!

Thanks, trhat gives me an idea of what to do.

Edit: I also need a good tutorial for milkshape to get me started.. Its so confusing going form blender to that.
Edit edit: I also need to know  all the different ways to pan/move the screen around in blender.. I only know the alt way.. and it isnt very helpful. Is there any other way? Also here is my newest model using your suggestions
