It took me two years to learn to make proper looking weapons
If you learn to make simple models first, the technique to make weapons comes with it

Good luck!

sometimes its more important to invest more time in your texture than your model as a good texture can make or break a model.

Yeah, AC3D is really powerful and easy. To export your model in x format , go to file , export and select Direct X. (Don't know if you can do that with trial version)

See the attached image to see the export parameters I use

Then you have to do the FPSC stuff and that is different if you are exporting an entity or a segment
