I'd like to remind, that there's still a few weapon models which are missing. So, if you have some spare time, please work over them.

Also, I'm curious, what developers would say about of making consumables and skill books in 3D? I've added a section on 3D graphics tracker, in case anyone want to make these things.

My personal opinion about it is, it could be done. If we can see weapons in players hands, we could as well show every other generic item. It should be a bit more generic then, though. As example, all the different flask items... they differ just in very minor details and are really small. No need to have 100 unique item models for them.

Just a quick look at the page they look pretty easy check it some Rad-X

Most of the models have simple shapes for example Cheezy Poofs, Box of noodles, Television dinner are just a simple box with 4 vertex. The drinks have similar shape all. About the books well they wouldn't look good as a box only but the gun magazine could be one it doesn't have a hard cover.

Ammo could look like the ground item: A simple greenish box of amunition.

Well this would be easier then making a fallout tactics like approach and making them have different look it would be less vertex too though I have no idea how much it would slow things down but checking out an event which ended with tons of stuff on the ground... making them all different would make the game lag I fear. Maybe they could have letters on them as texture saying what type of ammo it is.

I don't see a point in that. Items like radX will be 1pixel size even at over-zoom. 100 more or less icons is nothing, but 100 more meshes can make fps really drop.
Items on the ground don't need to be 3D. They are not animated, they are viewed from one angle only, they don't change - 2D is the right ammount of D they need.

They can be zoomed on, but so do all other scenery, I think it should be 2D as long as all other static scenery is 2D as well.
Not sure about weapon pickups though, because prerendered images might look bad.

Pistacja has a good argument, which sounds reasonable, so I also think that we sould leave all books and ammo in 2D. But anyway, I think that consumables should be 3D, because they can be hold and used by the players.

Excellent. Welcome aboard.
PS. Which one is your native? Russian? German? Spanish? French?
If Russian - you may contact with me or Graf.

P.P.S. I am a lazy bastard ;D

Low polygon model for the pistol, 14mm.
I think for its size in the game, do not need more points. Is this true?
