With the recent upsurge in concept art, I've finally decided to model one of them: Acid-snakes remix of R3CON's original concept - Original Topic here. (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. )





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.

fairly nice and detailed. I wouldnt have used a sphere for the top part in the front, but hey whatever works.

holy hell thats 1337

could you do a diffrent clip though? I dont like that straight style too much

very nice! i think i see a vertex error on the butt though.

Thnaks for the comments.

BAshh: Yep, I wasn't too sure about the top, it may be getting changed, but its working ok atm.

DR_FUZZY: Thanks. I'll see what happens, unfortunately don't have much spare time on my hands atm.

6john6doe6: 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.

poly's?
nvm dident read it lol!!
cuz the model looks awsome
i ever made a model of 10k poly's lol? :|

very nice, i like, what program did u use? 3ds?

Yep, 3DSMax 5.

first off i hate you..... i wanted to model it but now that you did i dont feel like modeling it
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

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

o i forgot to say
WELCOME TO THE FORUMS MR DATA
now the skilled peoples count on the forums
modelers:about 300
skinmeshers (the good ones): 2 or 3
skinners about 4 or 5
animators about 4 or 5



the above numbers may not be accurate

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.

And thanks for the comments!
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.

ok mr data since you have those skills i am officialy chaining you to these forums if you leave i will hunt you down and make drake eat your babies.... and you dotn want that trust me he makes a mess

I can believe that.

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. And I shall just have to lose my babies...

I like the design and i loved the concept finally the model is getting made and hopefully skinmeshed

there's a lot of face errors on thr grip

uv map pleaaaase! i wanna get started on this thing sooo beautiful, gets kleenex...

bah who cares about high poly, go get you a 1337 machine already. bleh.

finish it! so smexy i want it

HOLY ****!

lookin' good Data...lookin' REALLY good...

Dorian, Chrono...you should still model this...but if you REALLY don't feel like it, i've got other stuff you might be interested in...

omg...this is awesome...thanks Data, keep it up..

this is definentaly gona replace my Halo AR once the halo SDK comes out (so save meh a spot for the ammo counter )

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....


h00rj!

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.

HMG and pistol sounds good.

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.

Lol not quite... he's addicted to that ancient "Adventure" game (he learned fortran just to play and modify it)

Well, when ya' have a chance, PM me some contact info...we'll link up, i can see what you've got so far...

sound alright?

no addons to the gun, just a new clip and its perfect
