Third pic has a yellow tint to it.
Looks wierd.
And dun you go stealin mp2sp's silenced AR idea :V

it kind of looks like he already "stole" your idea from the picture there.

Inferno's working on sexifying some Halo shaders for the UT3 port project:





He may also go about doing some normal maps at some point.

Use the Halo 2 needler since it has normal maps, and use the normal maps from Halo 2 for the PR and PP.

:C

I've gotten complaints on the stretched-looking hexagons. So let me know,

hexagons



or no hexagons?

Hexagons.

Definately no hexagons.

i dont know why people are complaining about the hexagons being stretched. why is that a problem? i like it more with the hexagons, since the other one just has no hexagons. they add more to the skin imo

.

I did that back in 06
I just had advancebo re-do it for me again

hexagons.

I must concur with the majority of the above posts about the visual representation of your interpretation of the Plasma Rifle weapon system.

And why would you do that, sir? (what don't you like about the hexagons)

e. nvm, read it wrong

I apologize if my previous statement was not clear enough; I meant to imply that the hexagon pattern you placed upon your weapon was to my personal sense of liking.

I think i like this one best. Seems like really good shaders.

ignore return to origins

finish an animation before posting it, then.

also. i never see the magazine completely dissapear.

It's not really a hard thing to do, in fact it's one of the most important parts of animating. The whole feel of that particular animation in a set is determined by the return to origin, you can't just neglect it and tell people to ignore it.

Your origin is kind of screwy also, you really need to work on your fingers actually gripping the gun rather than having them well...sit in them, as you have now. I don't even know what your thumb is doing.

The mag doesn't even disappear off the screen, and it flies off the gun completely wrong also. The gun should be in the final part of the mag-flick animation for about 5 or so frames. The insert looks weak, and the whole palm is clipping the mag. Move your shoulder up more so that it seems more powerful when you put the mag on as well. The fingers when you put it on are good, has some nice style to it. How much time [about] did you spend on it?

i fixed the return to origin, it only looks like the clip isnt going out of the view in the render, ingame you cant see it, and it took be about 15 to 20 mins.

Change the FOV of the render.

here, fixed n sutch

OK, please, ffs, HIDE YOUR NODES AND MARKERS.
Right Click after you select, go to properties, and check 'unrenderable.'

Your actually mag flying off the gun is still horrid, and I can even see a frame of it where it starts it's movement to the hand. Really, work on that, it's an important part of the reload.

The fingers don't move at all when the left hand goes below the screen.

I believe i gave you some valid tips and crit earlier. You didn't take my advice.

With that reload the clip flies right off, give it some trajectory and it would look nice

meh i must have forgotten

It's a bit boxy around the grip, perhaps chamfer those edges a few times to form a curvature on the grip. The trigger is a bit too thick if you ask me, and I do think you need more details around the gun, maybe add a few screws and bolts around it. I like the design, it's really thought out.

OMG HE LIKES MAI DESIGN!!! =)

Barrel seems short for a sniper rifle.

so does every other barrel in existence.

Stock is :C
Make it a better stock, longer barrel and you have a great concept.

doesnt even seem like a stock to me. if it is, then its WAY to close to the handle. you hand is going to be all scrunched up against your shoulder when you try to fire it
