Just something I've been working on:



Its just under 1400 polygons, I usually model with a lot less polygons but apparently its normal for FPSC guns to have in excess of 2000 polygons so I figure, why fight it, Ill use the extra detail if I can.

Anyways things to do:

- Push the lower grip out more, connecting it more smoothly to the handle.

- Add the trigger

- Possibly throw in some tubing on the left side of the gun to remove it's symmetrical quality and give it more interest when the user is wielding it.


The grip may seem too big, but this is supposed to be a small weapon, so in reality the grip is the right size. I've tested it with a pair of hands and everything fits nicely, the first hand goes on the handle, the second on the pump on the bottom of the gun.

Anyways, throw me some crit if you want, its still in it's early stages but I find posting my work helps me complete things faster so thats mainly the point of this thread.

It is indeed.

Its very clean, though it lacks a trigger.

I cant recomend adding anything else since a half decent texture should cover it.

Ah, very nice. I'm guessing that this is in relation with your custom weapon thread that I answered?

I was going to volunteer for rigging it (if it were to be free), but then I'd just recalled that question tHread, so nevermind. Good luck with animating it; I'll post criticism once I'm back on my computer.

An idea for the texture would for it to be very dark, shiny, maybe even some extremely dark purple reflectiveness to it.

Cheers

Alright, back on the comp, time for criticism...

- In FPSC, depending on the animations for your gun, you don't usually see the trigger, although it is a nice touch.

- If you are intentionally going for a cartoonish blaster look, then don't pay attention to this: Add more straight lines, all those curves make it look too cartoonish...

- And last one for now until the texture, maybe put a hole in the middle of that spike thing that pops out of the top middle of the gun for like a little sight.

Cheers

Or, what i think would look better, a built in HUD which shows ammo etc, like in halo.

It doesn't make it look cartoonish. Its sci-fi and maybe its not a human weapon. The curves make it look organic and alien. Good work RUCCUS, hoping to see lots of FPSC weapons from you

The Halo Hud idea is what I had initially planned. As far as straighter lines go Ill take it into consideration, I was aiming for a more alien-like gun being inspired by Halo and all. For those that dont know, I usually rough out a concept in photoshop (shown in the above pic) then model a rough version, then render it to photoshop and draw in all of the details / new ideas I have and then finally re-model the 3D version to suit the new concept art, so there's still lots of time for improvement. The best part of doing things this way is you get to experiment with the texturing phase on a 3D render without having to go through UV-Mapping right away.

Anyways, I had a few ideas for it. One version I was thinking about would have some sort of leather straps incorperated, sort of a human version, more mechanical, whereas the other version would have something more alien-like; purples and shiny metals and strange patterns. We'll see where it goes.

If you want to be cool, do it like Dead Space. It had a holographic display extending from the side of the gun.

That'd be good for the human version, I was trying to remember the name of that game
