Like them? I collect an assortment of arachnid species, which I feed, and take most of my time to attend too. I love them.

I think the triangles give a feel of the older battle rifle, but I don't think it fits with the new model. You're choice to leave it in though, Hunter.

Personally i have always hated the triangles.
Great looking model Martyn, nice work.

Ah thanks guys, no triangles for this Battle Rifle! :P Just doing the scope now, don't know when I will do the lowpoly.

personally I have always hated detail in weapons without purpose. little squares and odd shapes without. I know these are video games, but really are we so ridiculously graphics hungry in detail that we have to MAKE unnecessary detail in our so called "futuristic" weapons?

Finished, well, apart from a stupid detail I forgot near the middle... also the clip. But these renders will do for now.

MAGAZINE!!!!
A clip is something you clip.
A mag carries bullets and is put into a gun.
Please say mag/magazine.

Cool gun though dude. Frick'in awesome. (And there IS no fick' in chocolate in the shop. Check down the street.)

Oh yeaaa, I usually call it a magazine lol :P

And cheers :D

And what?

I was talking to someone (telling a joke rather) and didn't realize i was typing what I was saying.
oh well.
It should be "frick" anyway.

LMAO, ive done that afew times, rather funny :L

Edit:


I'm debating on trying to put the iron sights on actually, especially the additional parts on the barrel, I think it will work with this...

Oh yeah, about that. I don't think it's worth watesing time over, as this model is used for baking normal maps. So floating geometry is used a lot. The surrounding edges behind them 3 indents won't support creating the indents :/

So I don't know if I could actually get them in easily, I could take another look and try another approach though.

I know right?!

I need thougts and ideas about this. To enhance the model for example...

Can we see a profile and an example of the FP view? That will give a clearer idea of the silhouette and how its gonna look to the player :) My first response is that it doesn't feel quite big enough, perhaps a little too 'thin', if you see what I mean? I like the general gist of what's going on.

I think making the whole thing scaled up a bit might look okay, so that it sticks out a bit from the rail - else it is pretty small. It's kinda hard to tell with the renders so zoomed in though!

Was also gonna say, the render on the other page is looking pretty neat :D

EDIT
Sorry, trying to be a bit more clear - its not that its too small, but I feel like the proportions are off. It seems a bit long and thin to me.

Fp view...
Standard scope :

The standard scope looks nice, just seems bigger proportionally than the rest of the gun.
Try making the scope size sort of like the first one.

NO. IT CAN'T BE! THAT LOOKS TOO REAL!!!!!1

It's funny how you guys got the Halo 4 weapons faster than the reach weapons. :)

Not us. Just Martyn...

I made a Halo 4 battle rifle and had it ingame a couple days after the video was out.

ftfm

Texturing: worst step

Unwrapping is even worst.
I maed cool render with colors.

You're kidding, right?

You do know that's just an actual picture of the real Halo 4 battle rifle...right?

Ive integrated the 3 holes into the rest of the mesh so they are no longer floating. Just adding afew bits and bobs and I will put a download link up, bored of it now. Then just need to do the lowpoly version of it.

Looks great.

whats the poly/vert count?

Will be in the millions for that high poly model, or hundreds of thousands.

yea. about what i thought. it looks awesome though.

It doesn't matter... but last time I checked roughly 1,700,000 triangles :P

Will get the lowpoly done soon, was going to do it earlier but had to go work.

Do what i do and skip work but also dont do what i do and do nothing while skipping work :)
almost forgot here are 2 comma's , , place them as needed.
