that launcher looks just liek the china lake in Black Ops

Seems a little (for lack of a better word) tall.

It is.

Not really fond of that hand position. It appears that the palm of the hand rests behind the pump, with only the thumb on the pump (unless I'm mistaken as to what is the pump and what isn't). Also, the thumb sticking outwards kinda also bugs me, though I'm not sure why.
Also, the gun seems to be held straight, rather than angled a bit. Kinda odd for a weapon that fires in arcs.

Overall, I like it though :P
Just these small things.

You are correct in your observation of the left hand.

The hand position I did on purpose. It actually looked better than the hand on the pump, because that position exposed the arm too much (with the h3 rig, exposed arms look horrible imo). I'll animate it so that the hand moves completely to the pump as it's coming into an angle.

Thumb sticking outwards bothers the crap out of me as well, but it's simply the rigging of the thumb that makes it impossible to fix. The gun held straight was just me copying the MW2 Thumper position back when I made the origins.

I'm going to actually completely redo these origins, because I need to re-rig and fix the model and its bitmaps, and probably switch out arms.

Actually, yeah. I should probably fix the hand position. I'll try to alter the position of the gun so that it looks more like you said, and put it in closer a bit more.

it looks to me like the fp model is too large on that grenade launcher. Try scaling it to about 80% and see if that doesn't look better

yup



oops didn't mean to make a second post >_>

teh inkscapes in getting my shotgun rigged and such, so ya pic:

AAHHHH HUGE FRIGGEN PIC!!!!!

I like it anyway xD Can't wait to see

I actually really like the gun position, but you might want to scale the gun down a bit so that it fits in better. Also, I kinda stand with what I said up top, it looks ugly when the arm is exposed like that.

Don't face the gun towards the centre, It seems like it's aiming slightly left to the middle of the screen. Tilt it so it faces outwards a little more.

If I didn't know better, I'd say someones trying to copy some Borderlands designs.

huh? how? it just used ot be the huge handgun i made, i pretty much then used a regular pump action shotgun ref to mdoel teh rest
left it as a handgun firing thingy but with shells :D

something original in the weapons thread?

hold on, let me check the temperature in Hell, it must be in the negatives down there

Geared always makes nice original-ish weapon models, which is what we all like about him :)

Geared is one of the few people here will the skill to be able to produce original models for weapons, instead of copying guns from other Halo games. He is a very valuable member here.

I think mainly because most shotguns are kind of bulky in games, meanwhile Borderland's shotguns are slimmer, and have sights on them. It actually reminded me of Borderlands also oddly enough. But completely different at the same time. It's nice.

Geared is TheRedPlague/TheRedHaze, hes a good friend of mine.

A moving animation. I haven't bothered much with moving animations, only saving it for when animations are serious. Now my animations are serious.

I think I'll be like Teh Lag and keep a source file for my moving anims.

Sorry for horrendously poor render. I kept saving it in the wrong file format, and my usual render settings take a while. The render was driving me up a wall so I went for the crappy clay render with no lights and then put it into a gif.

Rendering settings is also why the FOV is messed up. My initial settings had a widescreen render, so I adjusted the FOV. Of course, this gif is a different resolution, so all that crap comes into play.

i think she did, except i go by EPHIIOS now....:P
btw, another gun from the oversized handgun, now a sniper!
and b4 u say: omgomgomg HEARTBEAT SENSOR! its not, its a rangfinder/display for the rifle or a NV camera if used at night

Can I have it?

Looks awesome man.

omgomgomg rangfinder/display!!!!!!!11!!1

Great model, make a low poly and get it ingame, it'd be awesome.

Looks great, but I keep thinking the stock will break as soon as it's fired because of the thin connection between the handle and the stock.

olly, it is low poly(about 9ish) and coke its the future its ubermetal :D

@geared:
I see that someone decided to take "less weight is better" to the limit with that gun.
looks good.
The stock looks as though it can be folded.

lolwut

THIS. I feel bad for people who still believe THAT is a girl.

For the sniper ready animations have them pull the stock backwards into the shoulderblades and open up the monitor =D Be cool that way.

perhaps you could take a pick of the first person view of the gun?

Yeah, pretty much this. It looks flimsy. I would beef it up, because the rest of the sniper looks so powerful, that the thin stock just looks like a last minute addition.

The handle in addition to that. I would give it a thumbhole stock such as the Sniper from HReach or the AW Magnum. I think it would look good...

insane the fp is on a previous page, but to be so nice:

and guys ima redo back end of it later anyways :P

this is like frame 13 of the reload animation.. gets a good view of the gun


please dont tell me the right hand looks messed up because im aware of that. the gun will be modified to fit the hand later because the mesh doesnt matter in animations, only the position and rotation of nodes.
