that is awesome AGLion. are you modeling those or downloading the models?

most of the models are from FPSBanana. a few select ones are modeled by my friend (he's damn talented). I'm too poor for textured models though, but i'm working on texturing some things by myself.

I WANT THAT GUN

Origin looks too centralized, like the butt of the gun is resting on the chest rather than near the arm. Rotate it towards the left a bit, and move it to the right.

The origin being that way was based off of real life and experience. I used to have this full length Mauser 8mm rifle. With the scope and bayonet installed, it was a good 20lbs rifle. I always found it comfortable to keep the butt of the rifle situated on the right side of my chest instead of the shoulder as my back provided more support and stability than my shoulder could, especially when using the scope.

I also made it that way to give the illusion that the character is holding a heavy weapon, and is trying to support it. I dislike origins that don't give this illusion, as it looks like the character is swinging the rifle around wildly without compensation for the weight of the weapon.

That's the great thing about IW's ACR animation (yes i've been watching broke's tutorials); the rifle looks like it has weight to it and the character has to work to manipulate the rifle.

Speaking of broke's animations, when is his next tutorial coming out? I've been pissing myself waiting for it....

Nice origin, reminds me of the new Medal of Honor game.

December 15:
[15:31] IMBrokeRU: im gona record
[15:31] IMBrokeRU: just in case u wana troll
[15:31] IMBrokeRU: lawd

Also, I don't really see the weight, but if that's how you like it (no innuendo intended), then go for it.

It's just me.

Yep, several people skirted the rules and got away with it and now they are the cool kids.

Return to the topic or leave. And in case you are wondering seeing as how you like to act clueless, I am being 100% serious.

;)

Sorry bro



that's where guns go. they go into the socket of your arm under your shoulder blade, almost to the point of pressing your cheek against the butt

@Lion Scope looks like it's pointing downwards , can we have a sideways reference?

Dennis once posted that he was going to give every forum member one of those barrel-backwards guns for Christmas.

I just rotated the entire weapon down about 1.5 degrees just so it would look better in FP view.

That's always a nice trick I use: rotating the weapon down by 1 on the Y-Axis.

Y: -1.0

It's hardly a trick, but it works :D

can i have your render preset AGLion?

thx dude
wip, no the thumb is NOT in the gun no matter what it looks like. its an illusion caused by the rather awful texture. first origins im trying to make, still new to all this stuff:


right hand is there, but you just cant see it in that render.

still unwrapping that bump map

Look's pretty good I guess. That is how I hold the G36c anyway. I can see the right thumb in there. Looks good AGL.

The gun is too far forward, and I can't see your trigger finger.

The lower part of the thumb should also be contacting the gun, instead of the very tip of the gun. Really, just hold a gun yourself/some other object, observe it, and you'll see.

Yeah you may want to move that trigger finger a bit so only the tip is actually on the trigger. Right now it looks like he must be cradling it practically. Otherwise, beats my pathetic attempt at gun modeling

lol. Don't even get me started on my first attempt to rig and animate. XD
Edited by eliteslasher on Dec 20, 2010 at 03:10 PM

If the right hand and fingers were in a good, natural position, you would be able to see them in that render. As for the left hand, notice how there's a gap between the thumb and the gun? That's very unattractive, and while it is not necessarily unrealistic, it is something any animator will advice you to avoid.

I wouldn't be bothered too much by the gap in the thumb, as long as it looks good. Work on rotating and moving the thumb bones to make it look smoother and better against the weapon. Moving the wrist controller may also be necessary.

WIP BOLT ACTION GUASS SNIPER



By IMBrokeRU

Omg head turns into a mop again.

There's too many holes in it T_T

Can I have it?

Some parts look like the Reach sniper.

YAY somewhat original.

That might be because of retail halo 3 sniper scope mounted on top, but maybe it's a reach rip.
