Was wondering if anyone had any tips on making a realistic looking scope for a sniper rifle. I need to make the glass bit you see while carrying the gun and everything I make just looks too much like a cartoon.

Hi, You need an orb type look. try this tutorial but instead of making it red, make it white or offwhite colored. You could even do greenish for a nightscope. It is not the absolute exact way to make it but its very close. I hope this helps you out very much :P
