It doesn't look natural. If the hand grabbed the gun that way, the gun's movement would sway more than it does.

The only parts I am really going to complain about at the stock and the carry handle. They don't look too good.

Do a normal render, none clay. And a wireframe. Looks good though.

I honestly like the stock, but I agree with anon, The carrying handle is fine, it just looks like it needs to be a bit thicker. The sniper has gotta be a pretty heavy gun.

Ophandle is too small, that front part of the gun right under the barrel needs to not be a box, that part at the bottom of the mag shouldn't be stretching out in each direction that far, and you can cut down on a lot of polies but just getting rid of the indents in the handle. The fingers will cover those, it's a waste to have them on there.

The carrying handle needs to be a bit thicker, and to be honest I would just get rid of the finger guard thing. It is a really dumb design. Granted that it is on the halo 3 sniper, it still looks bad. The bolt could be bigger in all dimensions, but mostly length. Scale it up some. As for the magazine, I think the part that actually holds the rounds should be scaled up, but the bottom part is too big.

The barrels look.... funny?

Well i'm not laughing.

Point duelly noted.

Just a little model I decided to practice with, since I haven't modeled in over a year.

It's about 3k tris.




I'm not finished yet; obviously, because of the lack of a magazine, but I need some thoughts on the design before I continue. Besides, its late

how about behind the grip. like a bullpup gun ?

Does anyone else think it looks like a futuristic version of CMT's Ma5k? i think so. btw does anyone realise how many weapons are shown but aren't released?

Welcome back, Geo.

Looks awesome.

someone needs to tell me how to fix the repeating pr of death

hmm.. I have some ideas for the loading mechanism maybe you'd be interested in geo. I'll talk to you about it over xfire later

Aight sweet. But I will be putting the mag behind the grip, what im not sure on is what the mag will look like.

i had something interesting you might want to see. ive been working on an FN2000 and ive got it ingame, though due to shader problems it wont show up in first person. yet it shoots its reg bullets and a "dart" which knocks out the shields like a fully charged plasma pistol does. cept u dont have to charge it. pics:

tell me wat u think.

Looks cool, but I think it could look cooler if it was silenced. Pretty accurate to the picture I looked at online though.

I like that gun Geo.

no,
i just used the ar markers and nodes , adjusted them terribly, and slapped ingame.

maybe i could unwrap/texture it? maybe even animate it?

Here is the max file (max8)

Anyone is welcome to adjust anything about this.

Oh yea, i redirected the assault rifle to use this gbx model, so you might want to backup your AR tags.

it keeps repeating ingame and its pissing me off :/

Holy crap, me and ICEE were just talking about how I should model that gun. Thats creepy.

watch out, hes stalking you :o

i could be wrong but im pretty sure that you need an over heat enter anim, an overheat looping anim, and an overheat exit anim.

similar to the shotgun reload

i already fixed the problem. instead of an exact h2 copy, i made it so where he makes a fist for the looping(overheated) animation so that it wouldnt keep repeating the overheating animation.

Anyone interested in fixing up the tagging and anims on my gun?

whats wrong with your anims?

Its using the AR animations.
Custom ones would be better.

awesome.

what the hell are you talking about? whats wrong with the thumb work? i mean besides that it allegedly "sucks". ill give you that the m16's firing is strange looking, but for the glock's reload, notice at 0:19 when the thumb moves up.


albeit that this is a different model glock, it seems the button i have circled in the above picture was being pressed at 0:19 to release the slide back forward. i dont know if that is how a glock actually operates, but thats why he didnt pull the slide back.

The pistol looks... creative?
