Polygon Modeling of a Handgun using Blender 3D 2.49

[ Thanks to Ramsai for this link. ]

"With the base model created, we will be able to analyze the shape of our model and evaluate the next steps of the project. We can even decide to make changes to the project because new ideas may appear when we see the object in 3D rather than in 2D.

"Starting with a background image

"The first step to start the modeling is to add the reference image as the background of the Blender 3D view. To do that, we can go to the View menu in the 3D view and choose Background Image. The background image in Blender appears only when we are at an orthogonal or Camera view. The background image is a simple black and white drawing of the weapon, but it will be a great reference for modeling."
