Mwip - Starcraft Gauss Rifle

Jamil · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Eh?</div> 1040 polys. Mostly done. There seems to be several variations of this gun in existence. I can't find a single consistent reference, even in Starcraft, so accuracy might be lacking. Someone want to clarify on how this thing reloads? Criticism accepted.

Some detail omitted to save polys.

Jamil · February 2003

Another angle.

Iden · February 2003

I always thought it was a large breach on the top or the like, that it was a canister loaded because it was so slow. It'd make a great grenade launcher or shotgun.

Very nice work.

1. Missing trigger and trigger guard (actually, I wouldn't know about this cause I cant even remember if the rifle had a trigger.)
2. If you decide to model the Canister rifle (from ghost) <a href='http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/artwork/art25.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/artwork/art25.shtml</a>
3. I believe there are many concept art and screenshots at the <a href='http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/' target='_blank'>http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/</a> website you can also check out some of the StarCraft wallpapers, they usually have a picture or two of the rifle.

Good job! This will look GREAT if we get marine SC marine models...

Compare the gun in that pic in your sig, with this. You'll see the point of my frustration. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
There's a totally different gun on the back of my Starcraft box too and it seems they redesigned the gun in Ghost.

GWAR · February 2003

*isnt sure exactly how to explain it*

Ummm, the top barrel should have holes in it for cooling, unless you intend on someone drawing them in when the skin it.

Evintos · February 2003

It might be one of the details he has omitted to save polies. As stated in his first post.

commandfox · February 2003

i think the c10 canister rifle should be the shotgun

---EDIT---

i also dun think its neccessary to omit any details

Courage · February 2003

nicccceeee rifle hope u release it soon !! any way i looked at the ghost canaster and i think im gunna have to do that model i feel in love with it ill update u guys as i go on with it

IceWolve · February 2003

the pic of that canister rifle is from the starcraft ghost game, not the starcraft rts game. In teh rts game, it looks a bit better and bulky. The gun in that dudes sig is the same in that pic you posted of the terran win screen. Just at a different angle and with out themuzzle flash. The bottom barrel of the gun is the combat shotgun which is fired slow. The top is the actual gauss rifle part. If i were you id add some neat details that they dont have like a pump part, and make it look better.

Courage · February 2003

yeah that is true but... u realy cant make a model of the gun used in starcraft that the ghost used its fire rate is slow ... but in sc ghost i belive here gun shoots kinda like a assult rifle i beleave

Firebat · March 2003

Plus: Use the rifle that looks best okay? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Jamil · March 2003

I don't think it's dead.

By the way, can you post some references of the rifle from your 'action figure' if possible? Digicam shots or just finding a website with the pictures on them will suffice.

Mart · March 2003

I understand his frustration, for example when I was looking for reference images for a Zergling clay model I couldn't find a single consistent source from any of the games, books or concept art. Zerglings look different in every game, and so I ended up with a 'cross breed' of the SC:Ghost zergling and the concept art zergling.

Needless to say, I think that so long as it closely resembles the Gauss rifle in general, then most will accept it for being an 'authentic' SC rifle.

Machinegun_B0B · March 2003

when is it comming out?

Jamil · March 2003

As soon as it can get a decent texture. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

I can probably do the animating myself. I have some brief background with it, so I could make something /okay/.

So heads up again, any good or even beginner texture artists who're looking to tag-team on this, drop me a PM.

3ncrypted_zer0 · March 2003

Use the gun that looks BEST *cough*...mine.
