<div class="IPBDescription">Something I've been musing over...</div> I've been playing X-Com: UFO Defense / Enemy Unknown recently, and I think it would be awesome if someone made / is willing to 'help' me make the Rifle, Pistol, and AutoCannon.
I'll try to find some pics/info on them, for anyone who hasn't played/heard of X-Com.
Oh.. if you'd like to 'help' me 'acquire' a 'repaired' version of my preferred modelling software (MS3D) I'd like a PM, tyvm. Damn registration bugs.
EDIT: Found a couple pics.

looks like a good idea for a replacement <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

those are nothing like X-Com weapons. lol.
Remember, we're talking about X-Com before it turned into crap. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> UFO Defence and TFTD basically.
There are tons of old UFO Defence sites with pictures on them, I'm almost sure of it.
I'll check around.

These two are concepts from X-COM Alliance, the cancelled FPS of X-Com

I'll give it a swing, but being largly unknown in the whole modelling community is probably a good indication of my current ability. Expect a lack luster job. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I actually like this pistol better than the original UFO pistol. The Laser and Plasma rifles were probably the coolest looking weapons in the game, though...Heavy Plasma would own for the HMG.. And from TFTD, let me try and find some pics of the Gauss Pistol/Rifle.
OOH! Idea. Going to go look for some Small Launcher(Stun Bomb thingy..) or Blaster Launcher pics for the GL...
Report if you don't like something here.
I'm going to start modelling now.
Ok?
I'm making it round, cause that's the only 3D reference picture I have. If you can find me something else then feel free to bring it to my attention. Otherwise, nyah nyah nah boo boo. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I know that the screenshot looks odd because of milkshape, I'll make better screenshots when I get closer to being finished.
still working on it jamit <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Here's an example of my modelling skills. They're not great, but they're shaping up. You find me some decent artwork for the old rifle and I'll model it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I count 766, and half of that is in the barrel. I also just did a mirror and slapped two pieces together, so I could optimize down the middle and shave off about 200 polys.
And hey, don't be afraid to post works in progress. From my point of view, this is just trial and error so I probably won't release it on grand scale. It's why you don't see a mwip thread and probably never will. Assuming it gets finished, heh.
Besides, with all the half-finished dead projects floating around here, it's nice too see something new, especially since we all know X-COM kicks so much ****. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Looking pretty good so far, actually. And what do you mean the original X-Com rifle wasn't round? Go play the game again <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
What I notice, though, Jamil, is that the stock on your rifle is too short and fat. I look at the pic I found on the first page again, and it looks pretty long, and much thinner. Don't get me wrong, it's a great first try, and I think you've got the barrel and most of the front part down pretty well.
I'm working on getting 3DSM 4 to work, as 5 doesn't like me very much. When/if I get it running, I'll try my hand at it.
Noooooo! Don't die on us!
It's at like 300-something now from 800-something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
By the way, I gave texturing a try. But there's just too much overhead trying to figure out all the graphics design programs. I can picture what it should look like in my head, but trying to make something that looks like that short of drawing pixel by pixel is just too complex.
If you want it zero, you're going to have to PM me some way to send it to you. I'm not making a public release, because I used the animations from the pulse rifle when I compiled without permission.
I know the texture sucks, but that's the full extent of my abilities.

You got backward faces(the black areas),fix em.
