[wip] Acid-snakes Remix Of R3con's Concept

<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.

Comments and crits welcomed. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thnaks for the comments. <!--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.

    seconed nice model
    third PC is to high but as you said unoptomized
    fourth the concept had a barrel mag not a straight clip maybe you did that on purpose or it was a mistake
    fifth i did not read any of the posts above this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I second chrono's post. I was gonna model it, still might, but I'd make mine uber-poly-licious (even more so) for my comp. But yeah, thats a pretty spectacular model <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    skinmeshers (the good ones): 2 or 3
    skinners about 4 or 5
    animators about 4 or 5

    Yep, I knew you both wanted to do it, I just wanted to get in there first. You should still go for it, I'm sure yours will beat mine. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    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 can believe that. <!--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...

    yeah...tha place where tha ammo counter goes is missing...but he did say it was missing a few things, so i'm sure he already knows...

    damn, this is sweet...when i come back to playing NS, this is replacing my LMG...now i just gotta design a HMG and Pistol to go with it....

    Yep, I know the ammo counter's missing. Also, so are all the screws, plus the light switch, and the buttstock needs more work.
    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-->

    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...
  • Dorian_GrayDorian_Gray Join Date: 2004-02-15 Member: 26581Members, Constellation
    I'll gladly model them. I'm working on this one, but I have a Computer Science final exam on Tuesday and my CS teacher gave me a 400 page case study thats rather crucial to know for the exam. But I procrastinate a lot. I've got till Tuesday morning to start that, since my exam isn't until 8:00 AM. I really wish that it was still in C++, not the godawful abomination known as Java.

    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.
