<div class="IPBDescription">I decided to model it...</div> With the recent upsurge in concept art, I've finally decided to model one of them: Acid-snakes remix of R3CON's original concept - <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68845&st=75' target='_blank'>Original Topic here</a>. (I didn't want this to get lost in the flames, or end up with the thread being locked, otherwise, I'd have posted it there.)
Anyway, I'm not new to modelling, but I've not had much practice at making weapons before. In fact, this is only my third attempt at a gun.
So, see what you think - theres a few things missing, but its mostly complete. Poly count comes in at 2966, pretty high, but I haven't optimised it yet. (I should have in fact been doing uni work, but this was more fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

Sorry, for the low-ish quality renders. Also, I've purposefully rendered it faceted, as the smoothing groups are nowhere near finished.

too bad you never see the butt ingame <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<b>BAshh</b>: Yep, I wasn't too sure about the top, it may be getting changed, but its working ok atm.
<b>DR_FUZZY</b>: Thanks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I'll see what happens, unfortunately don't have much spare time on my hands atm.
<b>6john6doe6</b>: Almost, but not quite - just a missing face thats hidden beneath the butt.
A fair amount of polys could probably be removed at the flash suppressor - I just booleaned the holes into it, and haven't gone back to it yet.
nvm dident read it lol!!
cuz the model looks awsome <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<span style='color:purple'><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>the above numbers may not be accurate</span></span>
And thanks for the comments! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
However, there was 2 concepts, one with a barrel mag, and one with a straight mag. I'll try the barrel mag when I get time.
Incidentally, I can skin-mesh, just not very good at it yet. And I'm learning to make the skins, but suck big time at that. Plus I do know how to make simple rigs/animations, just never had enough time to really get down to it.
But, you know what they say, practice makes perfect. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I don't know why I decided to do this at the present time. I've got uni exams in 2 weeks, and in 6 weeks I leave to work in the USA for 3 months, ie. no access to a computer. Great planning eh? You're just have to manage without meh. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> And I shall just have to lose my babies...
finish it! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> so smexy i want it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Unfortunately it'll have to wait until tonight/tomorrow - I have a sumo robot program to write for tomorrow morning. In assembly language. Fun. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
HMG and pistol sounds good. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yes, they would be nice...unfortuinately, i doubt you'll be around to model them, what with you coming state-side and all...
but hey..i'll draw them anyway...
i look forward to seeing further developments on this model...
Anyways, I'm doing this one (I did about half and max crashed... grrr) and I'll do the others when Mr. Data has to leave.
