1- the thing i modeled is a flashlight?

it's a grenade launcher, you shove it open and plop a new round inside. it's a seperate attachement so you dont have to make it.

btw i hope you're going to work on the proportions, cus the screwholes are much larger aswell as the barrel

also, model the trigger, makes it imaginable how one would hold/fire it lol

e1: it says on the website where you got the image from: "Near final concept of one of our Assault Rifles. Shown here with extensions; Light, G-Launcher, ER-Scope"
so yes it's a flashlight

i used that side blueprint, so its accurate.

omg that is lovely, makes me want to go back into modeling D=

It is an interesting design, but it feels really flat. Even if that is the way the blueprint shows, it could use some creative depth

I think you are right. Any ideas where that more details could be applied that would make sense?.

some ergonomic gripping around the handle and such could be nice. Also it may help to actually model the magazine well. Something tells me that that area could be visible to the player in game with this particular design

my first wep anims ever, so yes they suk, and srry for light change, but thanks to ICEE for the info on how to do it poperly, etc.:

Shaders need lots of work. Looks almost exactly like the one in Hayabusa Ruined.

Hexagons on the PR look really awkward.

Hexagons need like 60 percent less opacity.

Clip and trigger go there.
Added grip to handle.

ill be on that after i finish the new particles for it =)

Wow! That really looks good. However, the butt end looks like in needs maybe some more detail. Also, is there going to be a sight of any kind? Top looks like it needs more. Sort of bland there.

Make indentations for the stock , make a scope , and model a grip.
The only thing that i Dislike would be the strange part where the stock connects to the body of the rifle.

I am ignorant when it comes to guns.
I am not sure what you mean by,"Make indentations for the stock"
I will make iron sights, because i dont like the scope in the ref, and i dont plan to add zoom to the gun.
The grenade launcher is where the grip should be i think, i will model that and its trigger next.

I know that connecting part looks odd, i agree
Thanks for your input.

Sorry, I probably wasn't too clear on that. What I am saying is have decorative inset lines on the stock. It would be fine without it, but it's just a suggestion.

lookin better. Now I would think it could use some ergonomics around where the supporting hand grips. Not like finger indents, but maybe similar to the battle rifle's grip. Also the top is sort of a pattern of indentations. It could use something to break the norm, maybe some rails and a red dot sight?

The supporting (left) hand position seems like it would be akward.
Would you always have a finger on the nade trigger?
I dont see a comfortable way to hold that part. I should modify it a bit?
Rail and iron sights on top makes sense for a non zooming ar right?

It doesn't matter as long as it looks good.

Added the grrrnade lawn chair and shortened the back part.

with the nice roundness of the grenade launcher, the side and top are now looking really flat.

Ill add a rail on top and make some thing to break up the sides a bit then.

Looks sick, but how will you aim with it? Also, what kind of firing with this thing be? Semi or Auto?

Maniac, that looks VERY nice.

Thanks very much guys.
Its a good "halo" model imo, but its really not a "good" model.

Are you going to make it a "good" model after too?
=o

Sorry wrong topic.

:) no, i dont have the time, patience or skills.

whats a good tri count for halo weapons?

How long do think it will be before you get the model finished, sights and all?

I spend maybe an hr or 2 on it at night, so maybe 1 or 2 days to finish model, 1 day to unwrap,2 days to skin?
Then i will be looking for someone to tag and animate it.
Then it will be released.
