Remus Grenade Launcher V1.1

WaTTz · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Updated Mesh and Render by WaTTz!</div> Ok gang - Heres the skinny...

I've updated the mesh to V1.1 - countless tweaks to the body of the weapon (I more or less forced Slim-Fast down it's throat <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> )
I've eliminated the long barrel and replaced it with a much smaller wedge barrel design.
I have also updated the render to show not only my skillz <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> but also what the weapon looks like with a little bit of texture. (Keep in mind it has no texture at all, just renderd with colored lights and edited in several paint programs to give the "feel" of texture)

We'll enough talk <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> Here's it is...

P.S. I am STILL looking for a good skinner/animator to team up with, we could create such amazing things <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

I can skin it... or atleast try. Could you send the mesh to me?

Ernst_Rhm · November 2002

Looks good brother but wouldn't it be more considerate to reply to your own thread rather than start a new one on the same model?

BiTMAP · November 2002

your barrel could be a bit bigger, and I like it actualy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> pretty neat render too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

hmm If i had time i would try to skin it.

blind_turkey · November 2002

He started a new thread because he changed the model, and by the way it looks very good. As soon as it's skinned, this will be my grenade launcher for quite a while

WaTTz · November 2002

Your probably right Ernst - But as it stands... I'm kind of "not used" to web boards. This is my first attempt to melt into a online modeling community. I'll certainly do that in the future tho. thanks.

BiTMAP · November 2002

do read the other thread and see what i said about the barrel.

WaTTz · November 2002

Yes I read your comments about the barrel, BitMap. Unfortunatly I coudl not bring myself to put it on the "upper-most" end of the gun. That would have looked very nice (In fact I know it did, I toyed with the idea in Maya) but it strayed to far from my orignal outlook and concept art for this weapon. So I opted to modify the front end slightly, shorten, and keep the barrel in the location it is in. Sry if you feel let down, but when I make meshes from my concept art I always try to keep "semi-true" to the original theme (which in this case is a low set barrel). I hope you understand <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

As a present from me to you, heres a render of the HMG I madea a few days back. I hope you enjoy.

Nice job WaTTz. Can't wait for release.

Cloud_King · November 2002

And Kissle - Send me an E-mail too if you can - ill hook you up with the meshes

Maus · November 2002

Very pretty render, but I still think the barrel should be all unsubtle and rather chunky. About the diameter of ... um ... Well, something the size of this, barrel-wise:

<img src='http://www.valkyriearms.com/images/launcher.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

As it is it still looks a little like an assault rifle.

WaTTz · November 2002

Hehe, don't worrie about barrel size - if done my homework on this one - the projectile that is fire in game is actually very small, about the size of a D cell battery(if not smaller). I sized the barrel of my gun accordingly. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Jrakosik · November 2002

very nice models.. but I have a question:

what's the part of the hmg that's on the left hand side (if you were holding the weapon)? ammo belt feeder?

Bird_of_Prey · November 2002

hmmm... 6 peeps scanning the post. I thing they like your model WaTTz <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

SuPaMaN · November 2002

hey dude i got the mesh it will be up later today havin a lil prob <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Kaine · November 2002

Jrakosik i beleive that is a carry handle, not much to do with the ammo, its just the angle of the render.

Bird_of_Prey · November 2002

I hope it gets release soon. Im willing to finish it tonight... well atleast most of it.

0n0s-ZiLLa · November 2002

no keep the barrel it makes it more futuristic and release as soon as possible <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Bird_of_Prey · November 2002

/opens photoshop and winamp and gets a bottle of Mountain Dew and gets to work.

WaTTz · November 2002

Yes indeed, thank you Fopher <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> *Mooch mooch mooch gobble gobble* LOL

And Jrakosik & everyone else, It is a Tact handle to hold while shooting or just lifting the gun.

P.S. I just got my new version of Maya. God bless UPS <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> Maya 4.5 should hold me for a while *Modesty* <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>
