Your thumb shouldn't have the padding facing RIGHT into the gun, it should be kind of facing at a 45 degree-ish angle between straight up and where you have it now.


I feel like you made the gun look smaller, or he's holding it back too far but I guess that's just how you make them origins.
Needs more weight when he hits the mag in for good measure, and there was some strange awkward movement near the very end when it's just about at the origin. Grain of salt though...the framerate was pretty bad.

Hmmm... Texturing...

Hey AGL did you like my back ground I made for ya?

Well... it kinda proves the point that Penguin made earlier...

I mean really.



Gun? What is this 'gun' you speak of?

XFIRE NOW.

Hahaha that actually looks kinda cool.

I didn't actually modify the gun's model at all, not even scaling. I made it back that far because the back end of the gun looks really boring in comparison to the front, so having that much showing just didn't seem right. It still doesn't look quite right though, I'm not sure what to do with it.



This is a recipe for a broken thumb. The padding of your thumb should be facing the gun, that's the most natural way to grip anything. It's also the best way to do it without getting some seriously messed up mesh on the lower thumb, unless the model is rigged really strangely. Whether or not it is more attractive this way is arguable, of course.

If icee animates the guass rifle I might speed up uvw unwrapping, right now im doing research for another forum.

It varies from rig to rig.
Edit: For something like the CS:S rig though you pretty much have to so you can cover up the strange rigging at the end of the thumb.

DO WANT.

I Agree.

decently original.. but really, I'm not liking the scope. makes it look way too much like the original sniper rifle, especially in 1st person. aside from that I applaud the effort of originality

...???
It doesn't look like the orig sniper...

WHO CARES!?!?!?

It's an AWESOME weapon. You just don't like it because you can't model anywhere near that detailed.

yeah okay bro

...huh? That isn't what I said at all...

Oi, sheese.

It's a great sniper. It's very original.

except for the scope.

oh but I guess opinions and crit isn't allowed in this topic so I'll just stop talking now ;)

The scope was customized. A lot.

it may have been modeled from scratch and all that but the general shape is the same as any halo scope. and therefore, is lacking originality.

You've got to be kidding me right? He modeled a WHOLE gun from scratch and your saying its unoriginal because it looks like it BELONGS is the games its going into? You can't be serious.

Exactly my point. Thank you.

if by ''looking like it fits in the universe'' you mean ''obviously hevily based on the original design'' then yes, l'm going to say the scope lacks originality. sorry if my opinion makes your ass ache a little.

Heavily based? Have you looked at? It doesn't look a thing like the halo sniper, only the scope does, smartie.

And it barely resembles the orig anyway. IT'S A FREAKING CUSTOM GUN! Get over it already.

sure is white knight in here.. man, you guys must really hate opinions round these parts

Broke actually used the Halo 3 model for the scope and modified it heavily to make it look like it's from Halo. He couldn't think of a custom concept that fit the Halo universe correctly. Therefore, HaloIsAHorribleGane is correct in this regard. End discussion.

I have said this so many times recently (not always here though) "There is a BIG difference between stating something as YOUR opinion and stating it as FACT." Please be more clear next time.

No. We are simply pointing out to you, since you apparently can't see it, the fact that he made that gun from scratch.


EDIT: 3 post's in 1 second? wow.

Anyway as he modified the scope then it is pretty much custom but still resembles the H3 one because it was made out of it.

Look, both of you have your own opinions, and he has his own opinion. Arguing against another opinion is invalid, because you're unlikely to change their opinion. Let things be. Just because he doesn't believe the gun is completely original, which I agree with in regards to the scope, doesn't mean you should bash his opinion just because you think it's completely original.

... uhhhh l've been saying they were my opinions this entire time

The same two people are posting in response to haloisahorriblegane. I suggest that the two ignore posts they don't like. Same thing to HIAHG, actually.
The gun is cool, but it needs to get ingame. Is the hold-up going to be texturing? If it is, just ask for texturing help.

Broke's texturing after Spartan unwraps it.

I think we turned off the point (whatever it may be) of this conversation LONG LONG ago. OR I just missed something......

Whatever.

meg I got bored:



Drill, cinder block, and a O2 tank combine to make... THE CINDERGUN!

I posted my honest opinions relevant to the subject at hand and you and amazingcuziam came in and told me I was wrong without knowing your facts.. that's what happened, just to clear things up ;)

Skiddy.... don't you remember my render settings?
