Turn the quality all the way up and the smoothing all the way down when you render.

That handle looks a bit high poly while the sword looks low poly.
Also smooth it.

Render is better. Blade looks okay. But the handle needs to be more interesting

a flaregun(can be used to cast light in dark maps, or as a weapon :D
boxes under barrel hold extra rounds, reload after one shot(swing open and pull a round from under and insert to chamber(then close)

Should this be my floodbudy?

this is my flaregun primary: flare that flys up(r at an enemy) and lights up the ground for a few seconds. if shot at enemy it burns the crude outta them. secondary is a delayed "flash" that u can bounce around a corner and blind everyone :P can also be shot into a base etc so u can bust tru :P

the parts under the barrel is uneeded. Also it looks off balanced in terms of weight. And seems to large as a flare gun. And you wouldnt need iron sights, since you basically just shoot it into the air.
And, you dont have a trigger.

Standard modern flare gun:

wow that looks absolutely disgusting. i know it has to be orange so people know its not an actual gun, but please dont make an orange plastic thing like that.

thats a real flare gun


this is a man's flare gun

your a toy.

the flaregun i posted can be bought at a cheap price. They sell them in stores such as Bass Pro Shops. Its for light weight carrying, for people such as hikers.

ok if u read its meant to be used as a weapon as well as a tool. and i made it big on purpose, its a large flair with parachute etc. and this is halo CUSTOM edition, therefore its a CUSTOM flare gun, its called being creative thank you ... lol

and edit,the thing under the gun, its the clip u snap it in and pull a round out,u get 4 shots.

onotix is a homo.

You guys act like children.

that, really, this is halo CUSTOM edition, geez whats your problem with always ragging people, just leave him be and shut up. I actually like the concept, it's a GAME for sakes, and for a change not realism CoD shizzle.

I believe he was talking about the insults

true, the whole ragging has no point anyhow though, pointing that out aswell.

Besides the gun looks awesome. it's not like it will break a map if it's got things that people don't like about it. if you don't like it then don't pick it up in any maps it's in.

hey thats pretty cool. can we get a wireframe of it?

next time to .003

mmmmm <3

Woah, this is one long topic

I applaud you on this spectacularly constructive post. You have brightened the community with your insights.

Origins are too far forward, and too straight. Angle it sideways a bit.

i like em far out :C

Not with the left hand like that :\

I couldn't see you holding a weapon like that for very long :/ They are heavy you know... hence the reason they are usually as far back as possible...

Its an AK 47 and comparetively to other Rifles of taht prowess there quite light

Still doesn't mean you should stick it out in front of you as far as you can.

an unloaded ak 47 is about 9 and a half pounds. with a 30 round magazine i imagine it would be about 10 pounds
an unloaded m16 is about 8 pounds, and a loaded m16 with... i think its a 25 or a 30 round magazine is around 8 2/3 pounds
the newer ak 74 is 6 1/2 pounds unloaded and probably 7 pounds loaded with however many rounds the magazines hold

i fail to see your point.

Holding it out in front of you like a poisonous snake for a while? Pix or it didn't happen.

But does a tuba have recoil? Do you have to pull a trigger and fire it? Do you have to reload it?

OK here's my origin (that I made a while ago) for an example of a good one:

But then here's the trick: it's an illusion and actually isn't pointing towards that center, but because I have it moved over to the right so much it looks like it.

Also note how my hand is rotated on about 45 degrees as opposed to the 90 that you have. Now, you can see my fingers are clipping a bit but you can always adjust that if you show that side of the gun.

thats definitely a valid point. you do have to consider that american soldiers carry close to 200 pounds of equipment though.

try this for me: go get your backpack for school, put a few books in it, maybe 3 notebooks and 2 text books. pick it up. is it heavy? now hold it straight out in front of you. its alot heavier now isnt it?

the only reason im even talking about this is because one of you said something about holding things in front of you. in reality, its a game. weight is an illusion created using implied force in animations. if you can pull this off, do your animations however you want

nice that one looks great, i made a rough draft reload but it looks kinda meh. if you can can you send me see that model/texture? the cod4 rip i have is not smoothed very well and isnt unwrapped. im probably going to do a simple reload because im still a newb at this.

Yeah, a trained soldier will be running around for days on end with this weapon held out looking like a retard and giving him cramps... And constantly having all that recoil going in on his arm when it should be taken by the shoulder area...

Do you have common sence?
