i didnt think the rigging would effect the tris?

But i have that issue with a number of my guns, I just cant fix it so... lol

the tris on some weapon models need to be converted to quads and it doesn't work if it's done on maya. you need to export the model and convert the tris to quads on blender and re export it to maya again which requires re rigging the whole model.

ah, so explains why i couldnt do it

I lack the smartz

I know who to come to now though lol

Well Done
That's a very fine weapon

I didn't convert the tris to quads with the model shown in the video. I did however try that method and it only deleted 26 tris, which isn't bad. But compared to 5 tris, I chose to stick with that one.

I'd be glad to help you out with some of your weapons. 

would you mind? I have a few that are really messed up

The one bugging me the most is my upgraded skorpion. The regular came out fine, i exported that model and reimported it with new textures for its upgraded model, now the missing triangle is back near the hilt

I think i have maybe 4 or 5 that are messed up, but thats the only one really bothering me

so yea... would you mind helping me out?

Nice "Hang 'Em High" ya got there (noticed that instantly, lol)
