It looks like they just flattened the top out a bit and added rails. It's still recognizable as an M7. At least they didn't take an MA5C, give it a 60-round mag, and call it an MA5B.

Working on H2A HUD. When it will be finished I'll share to you in .psd

My bakes look nothing like that. GG job.

damn...

Do it in 3ds max, it looks much better usually. The 60 rounds meter orientation looks quite strange

Before I used 3ds max but I had no full control on everything and meanwhile I learned Photoshop.
Yeah I'm agree and I don't know why. I'll fix it on the next version.

Here is where I am :

hi all, i need help to choose magasine of my thunderlord model, and a question it is possible to have a color permutation on a weapon ?

dem... moar pics plz

I would go with the second MG (bottom right)

As for color permutations, those are possible in the shader.model tag.

I'm not too sure how it's done, but I've seen it work on the halo2 Mc pauldron symbol's

i'm with flanker, i like the second one's box mag.

editing....
....
Derp :c

I'm waiting more pics from 343 Industries. Because there are two differents HUD and I would know which one is right.

The Classic Hud from Halo 2 Vista is for campaign, the other one is for H2A MP.

Yep right. But there are also two differents HUD from the multiplayer, one of them is certainly a pre-release. Look at:

From halowaypoint.com


From the comic con panel

Wouldn't the Comic Con build be the latest so if you're aiming for the most current choice wouldn't that be the one?

This was a weapon I conceived a long time ago. (Without the aid of morphine)

My basis for it was to be a "last resort" weapon. As you can probably tell it is a shotgun, however it's stance has been widened and it's length clipped to aid portability.

The barrel is around 15% larger, and is designed to accompany a wide variety of munitions.

(Flechett shells, dragon's breath, Air-burst ammunition, and even flares)

It's upsides are:

> Extreme damage at close - point blank range

> Compatibility with a diverse range of munitions.

> Lightweight, and extremely rugged

> The core design utilizes the M90 chassis, giving the user a moderate degree of customization

> Relatively inexpensive to produce.

It's down sides:

> Can only hold a small amount of ammunition, due to it's short length.

> The range is severely compromised due, to it's wide but short smooth bore barrel.

> Tremendous recoil, which increases depending on the volatility of the load.

> Thought it's short barrel can be extended, no current generation suppressor modification can be produced to deal with the immense muzzle velocity, meaning this weapon should not be used for stealthy encounters.

(High - poly only so far)

















I'm not done yet with this model, I still would like to add some additional geometry, and if this weapon does make the upload stage, i'd feel better if someone else also had a say in it's design.

So is there anything that I should improve/remove.

(Also need some opinions on where the safety selector should be and what it should look like)

Maybe it's just me but the stock seems kinda....strange? Not exactly sure how to put it into words.

I agree, but I really wanted to set it apart from the M90. I'm definitely going to remodel the stock end piece, so it's much more comfortable on the shoulder.

....

Did some googling, I might put a futuristic spin on this.

Safety, set to "safe". You push it through so that it sticks out the other side of the trigger guard to set it to "fire," if that makes sense.

finally unwrapped my model, some know why when i save my uv and load it it dont work... i use a student version of max.

Doesn't work how? The uv's don't save to the model? Or you have trouble seeing the texture properly?

Try > Material > Show maps in viewports as > Realistic display with maps.

final texture:

I have all props from CoD Ghost

Do you plan on in-gaming some of them? I feel like they'd really come in handy.

I don't know how to do it. But if you want something in particular ask me because I've 16Gb files
^^

Combine 3 weapons. Result? BADASS!

2 magazines ?

Yep I just noticed!
Fixed:



So now sorry but I'm going to sleep and masturbate on this f***** weapon that I called ACR MARKII :3
Edited by Shockwave on Aug 6, 2014 at 06:45 PM

he always beets me too it, a few things to add. a wide suppressor, or a suppressed barrel could go great for a shotgun, if attached properly. lightweight shotguns is a bad idea, bungie really pushed the m90's weight in game, and the recoil would be absolute murder irl. lastly, props on a more accurate barrel width than the bungie shotgun. (i'm sure me and echo are the only two here who REALLY understand how ridiculously over-sized 8guage shells are)

Awesome ! You did it ! :) Very nice, there are some littles problems here and there but nothing hard to fix. GG !

Apart from the clipping just below the BR scope this looks cool. Hope to see it ingame.

thanks i will try it, i was talking with bourrin and decide to remodel my weapon in high polygon, so i will maybe try to do a baking on a low poly version. The actual model have 3500 poly. It's my first complet unwrap that's why it's a bit ugly. Next model need to be better on detail, unwrap and texture. Currently i need to learn how to use ambient oclusion on texture.

I'll send you a PM at some point.

I really like the overall shape of the weapon. Looks very nice. However, the ejection port from the ARX is still positioned for a weapon with a conventional configuration, as opposed to bullpup. This could be remedied by closing off the ARX ejection port and just leaving enough room for the charging handle to travel.

Here's an example of how big a suppressor needs to be for a 12 gauge. A suppressor for an 8 gauge would need to be even bigger, and if Flanker's shotgun fires a cartridge that's 15% larger than 8 gauge, that'd put it somewhere in the vicinity of 7 gauge. So it'd need a suppressor that was larger, still.

The Russians have the KS-23, which is ~6 gauge. They also have cut-down variations of it. While I'm sure it kicks like a donkey, if a Russian can use a ~6 gauge KS-23, a cut-down ~7 gauge probably wouldn't be too much trouble for a Spartan.

@ Echo: Are you weaponpidia? You seem to know everything about.....everything :D

@ The dude who said my stock looked weird.















Those of you sci-fi savvy veterans, might recognize this stock from a recent movie.

In any case, this was my first attempt at fixing the stock, in my opinion the overall shape would be more suited to a rifle, rather than a pump gun.

However the cheek rest does add to the flow of the topology, as well as that the palm grip looks considerably more ergonomic and purposeful.
Things I like:

Gives the weapon a sleeker, sophisticated look.

Resembles the china lake, in weird way.

Didn't take that long to make.

Things I dislike:

Extends the length of the weapon.

Feels more suited to an AR or SR.

Fits the receiver in an odd way.

I've yet to see a shotgun with a thumb-hole stock.

Adds to the poly count a little.

No conceivable "cubby hole" for a lipstick attachment. Ladies uses guns too.


Crit please!!!

I will model another butt stock varient, after that I don't see too much point in spending time on a part of the weapon which you will rarely see.

(If only crawling anims were a possibility)

Btw, does anyone have a problem with the pump?

I modelled it based of my experience holding a double barrel, I prefer bulky/rubber composite pumps due to there grip and comfort.

Smaller pumps are harder to get your hand around, and I always pull back or forward with the tips of my fingers. It's much easy that way. (in my opinion)

Other shotguns (which I have researched), don't seem to incorporate any fancy additions to the pump.





I've toyed with the idea of a fore-grip. But they look awfully peculiar in comparison to rifles and even pistols.

(A folding foregrip perhaps?)

In any case, hope you guys like the gun so far, and I don't mind extensive crit. One of the things I have learnt whilst modelling, is not to get married to your work and accept other peoples point's of view.
