My latest work.

Its not quite done, but here is a preview of my lastest weapons model.

I just figured out some stuff in my modeling program that will greatly increase my abilities in modeling. Which means I am going to redo all my previous models. The bummer thing is I just released the FN Tactical Shotgun and now I am going to redo it, lol.

Spoiler:

Sorry about the double post but I forgot to ask if anyone knows a way to reposition the player models front hand on a weapon?

I would like to make it so that they hold the weapon correctly for new models.

Muuust haaave it.

A LONG time ago I had a Stargate weapons pack, with weapons like an assault rifle and shotgun and such with more accurate firing effects. I've been looking all over for something similar ut only found a really crappy m16 model.

Anyway, repositioning that forward hand would need a bit of animation editing. There was another topic a short while ago about realistic firing stances, even.

One word....SWEETNESS! Cant wait for release.

***Rapp_Scallion*** · October 4th, 2007

Nice! The detailing looks really good too. I like it.

Gosh, that looks wonderful.

I don't know about these stuff, but can't you edit stances in 'dragon'? (or whatever the name was)
I might be wrong..

Dragon animation, yes. Although I've heard it is not the best program for the job, it is the smallest.

I like the detail. What is the polygon count?

***t3h JaKaL*** · October 5th, 2007

Heres the info on it...

I know I probably coulda done it with a lower count, but it just didnt look right so I went with this.

Egads, man. You really don't need the individual notches to be modeled in. You'll be too busy keeping yourself alive to marvel at the model's details. Also, I suspect there's a bit of smoothing group problems that also contribute to the high vert count.

***t3h JaKaL*** · October 7th, 2007

I tried not to use the notches on the rails but it always looked cheesy, and since I am not a shader genious I don't have that benefit on my side. But in play I have no lag issues due to it, and my PC is becoming quite dated I doubt most people will have issues if I dont. But I will look into trying to lower it a bit, though I am still semi new to modeling. That being said I thought I did ok on it.
