Welcome to the art forum

Im dont speak englist good.

You dont say!

I makink a 3D models. and I posting here. if you like it write here. This is my best render I make.. I place it other if you write on this.

Its okay. I dont really like 3d stuff though. You seem to have the shapes down well; I think the silvery/grey is a bit too flat; it should shine a bit more. I also think you could use some more textures and stuff; at the moment the material of the guns doesnt feel real.

Yeah, I think the next step is to look into textures. At the moment, the models seem way too round and soft. The texture will give it a more realistic feel.

The models are just damn fine. You need to get some textures on these asap. Some scratched gun metal, some beat up wood for the stock, etc. Models are fine, get some texture on them. Fine work, I can't offer any advice as you're far beyond my own 3d abilities.

I writing. my eyes is nod good. I see few colors... I dont know how I make scratch and other fractals. I learning slow. If you know how to make it. send me messages. ok. I post here other my models... AND really sorry for my english. I hope you understand my texts :D

What is your native language? It might help us to know!
I must say, these are really good for only have been modeling in two months!

About blender, in the beginning, the learning curve is really slow, but it's easier once you get fully used to the program!

Try doing bigger things, for the practice. I feel that since I've been working on larger projects, my patience has increased. Not much, but noticeable.

Again, this is really good, tell me, why can't you see colors so good? If you can't see them so good, you can sort of "learn" where the good colors are at.

so far your doing fine, but I would like to see some process renders.

what is the process render?

A process render are renders taken during the process of creating a 3D model. There invaluable in portfolios. they show the modelers techniques, thoughts and methods of making a 3D object.

Many professionals will only look at the final product for a split second, but they will spend time studying the wireframe, the polygons and the build up to the final product.

Something like this?. or wireframe model?

yeah that,
Wire frames help too. Next project you do you should take a render at least once a day (or once an hour depending on how fast you work,) and post it up so we can see your progress and help you out on any issues that might arise

..
ok. I make wireframe Colt. in few minutes. wait

ot doesn't do much for you now that the model is finished. you should do it on the next project

a wire model will show technical skill, complete models rarely do.

and when is technical skill better??. if I making,, what

technical skill cones in handy when determining a job.
it shows how well you use the program, what you know.

Lets take polygons for instance, in a still render, or a display render, they usually do not matter, you can go nuts and have a couple million as long as you have the spare render time and don't mind taxing your computer(s)
On the other hand, as you get better with the program, you learn shortcuts and skills that give you the same result with only, lets say 8 thousand polys as with a model with 32 thousand polies.

After looking at your wireframe I can see where a good couple thousand polys can be removed and you still get the same good looking model.
Less polys mean less render time, less work, less stress on computers, and more profit.

this is where technical skills come in handy.
