Almost done the model now updated pics too show latest progress and now I need a little input from you, 10 round mag or 5 round mag.

Ok i really need help now. I attempted to unwrap the model and failed badly, but not only that i have no idea what else is required. Anyone willing to help?


I originally began this weapon project back when I was playing fallout 3 but eventually lost interest. Now with the release if New Vegas I am attempting to complete what I started. I am currently just finishing up the scope and will be adding a bipod before I attempt to use my rudimentary texturing skills. I was also wondering what an acceptable number of polys would be and if there is anyone more experienced with texturing willing to help out that would be great.

started texture

The M40 will hopefully look something like this when I am finished.

As you can see i have now finished the scope and will start work on the bipod tomorrow.

Looking at the muzzle, it needs a smaller bore.

Other than that, that's mah babee!

Looking at it I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the input.

looks good but i hope u add sum stopping power to this rifle. I have use most of the sniper rifles in both fallout 3 and new vegas
and found it takes two shots at least to kill at a distance! this is not the idea of a sniper rifle
one shot kill! up too a mile. is needed to get some reallity into this game the best sniper weapons so far is the guass rifle
which does a one shot kill if u use it right! look forward to using your rifle when its ready for operations!

have a good one Maverick!

Completed the model! Yay!! Now the fun really begins as I have to unwrap it and texture it. Anyone willing to help? or even give some pointers?

bump for help

I'm afraid I have no real modding experience, so I can't help you there, man.

However, I do support this mod. I love the M40. It may very well become my primary sniper rifle, or at least one of them, in-game once you get it all ready.

There's something about bolt-action rifles I like. *shrugs*

add another edgeloop at the nasty edge on the cheekrest i suggest, its a tad too edgy lol

haha im thinking more than one looking back at it

The links in your main post are busted and stuff.

woops nvm, fixed em now. got rid of some old ones too.

More progress! I think I`m starting to get the hang of this texturing thing.
More pics too
