well i couldnt keep it a secret for the contest any longer here it goes!

so far i have

1336 polies on it

Get a better render

Reminds me of a railgun! What gun does it replace?

ive seen better

render 2


HEY I CANT BE ANDERSON!

wth? again...?

thats where he got the concept from but since the model isnt going to be released WTH is the point of that picture? its something that wont be released because anderson is gone

um so....

i see no rule saying i cant make my own version of it

yep... and I'm really looking forward to it

do you have andersen's model? you could probably just work off of his and add everything that didn't get finished...
unless you have a personal take on it.
if you want andersen's, I have it on my comp... dont ask how i got it... but i have it

he gave his model file out a long time ago

1 it was ready for release so what should i work off of

2 i dont have permission from him

3 i want to do my own not some1 elses

4 the contest that im entering this for crearly states that i have to have a new model made b4 teh 1st by me

Very nice so far. I think you should make the ridge on the front part a little deeper and wider, then add a curve above and below it.

that is an awesome skin on that second model... are you doing a skin of similar coloration for your personal model? I love the other one... it has an aesome gdi vs nod feel

i cant skin

well, then what colors do you have in mind ^^?


-edit

suggestion- how about a rail mount going from the main body to the barrel, or a big famas style carrying handle? it will give the top of the model more character

only reason andersen's wasnt released cuz of

lack of anims.

im adding hte scope and that box thing behind it as we speak

i didnt really like either of those lol... thats why i suggested the other ideas ^^

The anims basically need tweaking, the reload and long idle are very rough. I'm leaving NS to move on to UT2k4, thinking about transferring the concept of my ODG T2 mod to that engine... HL is just getting too outdated... Andersen and Bots gave me permission to use the model and skin there if I do, so it may appear in another game yet... In the mean time, I don't think either would mind if someone finished off the NS version, as long as due credit is given properly- just PM me and I'll send the .smd's.
On the flip side, there is no reason Phyco can't release his own interpretation of the spike- after all, Andersen got the concept pic from the Polycount forums. Some people might like Phyco's version better, and it certainly wouldn't be the first weapon model released in multiple versions, so I think the proper thing to do now is to return this thread to just discussing Phyco's model...

thanks brim

o and godhand i didnt like that boxy thing behind the scope either

guess what i did to it *removed it* >_<

Here goes another 50 page thread......

[edit] woops forgot some stuff (trigger)

polies 1796

back view

lmao i remember playing that warhammer game, that gun looked like a big yellow lego

i like. handle is a bit thick but nice. once the smothing groups are worked on, this is gonna be one beast once its done

yus the handle is too thick

handle=thin

any other c&c before i submit this to del?

how are we supposed to give critique with no picture :O

all i did was thin the handle what else is their to see
o and i have to fix the trigger so that will be anotehr thing ill do b4 i send it in

Wow. IMO it could use a little more detail (bolts, etc.) but if that would take too long or add to many polies, don't bother.

that would be great for a skin

looking good

i still say that the tp needs more body. The scope is good, but take some creative liscence with it man!

Ill have a go at animating them both, this one and the one that apparently never got finished. Just need the source materials

the smoothings are weird around the handle area, can it be fixed?

well thats a releif

thats good to know

thnx for that

Omg it looks awesome !

Phyco, i have finished the warspike model Andersen started on and its being skinned and animated so..

so what...?


Just because you plan on releaseing one, hes not allowed to now?

i agree with the floating head
If he wants to make a model then let him... might be better then yours...

i really like this gun and i want it, be nice
... that is all

and you will get it if someone meshes it and skins it and animates it and and thats alll

no need to be rude people...

just wondering, is this gonna be another non-finished warspike? cause thats sad and it makes little bunnies cry. speaking of unfinished..... what ever happened to the malice?

no it wont

i never die and same with my models
(kornyl line)

o and dont start a malice topic in here plz

and if u wanna knwo its a wip still so no its not dead
