Well if you do release it can you release it in a map? i'm using a mac and would be grateful if you did.
Also make sure that you get someone 'good' to animate it. i don't want to see a good model like that go to waste with crappy animations.

Don't skin it to anything but the colors it is now IMO. It looks sick.

my very crappy attempt at making that ar(i was bored, felt left out lol). has a "xray" scope(very fuzzy image, used to locate enemies behind cover) but fo halo just be a ammo count. has a flip down scope(regular: reflex, flip up to snipe) flashlight etc.) comments?
(stock is collapsed(slid in). will aniamte some stuff for later(for final, itll suk but atm it doesnt matter)

it looks good but the design is really chaotic in comparison to almost any other imo

but choas is fun? i know what u eman, i kinda went OD as i usualy do, but i think it looks pretty good. :D

How many triangles is yopurs Geared? Its neat.
I will probably just upload my gun, when im done, Then anyone can have a shot at animating it.
Whoever asked, yes i will put it in a map for you.

I agree, chaotic looking like that is cool. I like especially how the grip underneath really protrudes out. But I noticed you have something in both sides of the gun like a laser pointer on one side and a flashlight on the other. Could you make them on the same side and have the laser pointer maybe underneath the flashlight? It seems almost like a club on the end with all that there. But otherwise, everything looks pretty awesome looking.

I will upload those too.

actually flashlight is part of front grip(under barrel) the thing on other inside is a camera for the heat/xray camera for the monitor on the side(i made the all separate so they can be moved/removed) i can remove it for halo , and its abut 6 k maybe? i gotta do a recount

you did a good job of solving the flatness issue geared.

ITS COLORIFIC!:



comments, concerns?

I don't really like the side rails how they increase in height. Also the LCD display (I think that's what it is) Looks kinda large. And why does it have a red dot scope as well as the scope in front of it?
Also that bolt on the back seems kinda unwieldy
but overall great model.

Looks nice Geared.
Ill ask again, whats a good tri count for halo weapons?
I think mine is 4k triangles.

Because Red Dot sights in a sniper scope are win.

Looks almost cartoony... and I want it more for that...

It looks cartoony because the side rails arent rails. Theyre strange blocks.

Actually, that sort of looks cool though. Only thing I noticed was the flashlight on one side and the laser on the other. It makes it a tiny bit bulky. Would it be possible to have the laser and flashlight on the same side and just have the laser embeded into the flashlight underneath it?

i dont know if i mentioned this, but the thing on other side isnt a flashlight, its a IRCam,and the LCD screen flips out for it. it can be removed(made it a separate object). Lazer is on side facing u, and flashlight is under the barrel(its built in)

also, the scope red dot is there cause it can be flipped down(the scope) and red dot turns on for cqc mid range etc. flip it up to turn off red dot to snipe.

Ah I see. That makes sense now. Keep it the way it is then.

I dislike the fingerwork for the ready, and the gun movement in the reload leaves a lot to be desired. But other than that I'm rather happy with what I have.

The main thing that stuck out to me in the reload was the thumb when he was putting the clip back. There was no real movement to it.

I'm no animator but it looks pretty good except for the thumb thing. I agree that needs work maybe.

The clip disappears for reaching the bottom of the screen... just pointing out.

when he clips out the clip goes wayyy slow, then speeds up. and the reload is too close to the camera for my taste.

It's not the hand itself. It's the fingers on the right hand that I said I dislike :\

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Looks like you've developed a style, which I had tried but didn't really do well with: gun pausing at times for emphasis on movements and such. Looks good, although the SMG reload doesn't make much sense, and the mag-flick seems loose. Sniper animations, meh, copy of Broke's and although they were done well, you copied him a bit too much on his style he did for it and it just doesn't seem like anything new/IVEE made.

Sorry to steal your thunder so quick also, but I've been trying to get this damn video to work for 2 days (it kept cutting off the fire animation).

Sigma Sniper Rifle MkII Animations:

I planed to redo the everything, anyway.

Nice motions on your own, odx.

It looks kind of like an idea I had, except very different.

Looks really nice though, and I like the bolt animation after every shot.

Not done, but that's what I got before I had to leave. Which is in about 3 minutes. ill finish when back from thanksgiving dinner. kbai.

Will the bottom stand wobble around when brought up or down?

@ODX
Love it all except for the way the arm returns after the grenade throw, looks strange.

It's creative :[
