No.

At least, not as prominent as he has it there. If you want to see it done proper then go look at CoD4's origins.

Do you have the sounds available in audio format? I don't have crysis any more and I don't want to go on another hunt for sounds on google/youtube. If you can upload and pm me the links, that would be great. So far, the slightly edited gauss warthog sound fits pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2027syQYpeM

I also found the crysis 1 gauss rifle firing sound. It sounded too "techy" imo and didn't fit the halo mood :P (maybe for a covenant weapon). I tried mixing it with the halo gauss sound and it just didn't work well. Maybe you can provide me with the reload sounds as you have mentioned?

Except that if Hydrogen and Spartan think that a gun is realistic that way because that's how they really hold guns in real life, they should make their guns like that. COD4's not real life, so don't use it as a reference.

I think the gauss sound effect almost works. Make it deeper, like lower-pitched, so it contrasts more from the regular sniper rifle's short and high-pitched firing sound.

Duh, but there's your problem.

If you're animating to be "realistic" then you may as well just stop, get up from the computer, and never touch it again until you understand FP animating has barely any ties to realism. It's all aesthetics. The point I'm making is that if you want to see that "bent thumb" done correctly, then look at CoD4's origins because they're done really well and are a good example to look at.

Call of Duty is also the game that think's you can survive a .5 calibur round to the head. Don't EVER use ANYTHING from Call of Duty as a reference.




Yes people animate it to look pretty. That's the point anyway. Like with Broke's sniper. Which I like those sound's but the firing sound needs a couple tweeks.

It has been tweaked :)

Make the boom actually put force on stuff. A gauss rifle would hit pretty hard.

The model and texture for that rifle are very well done. It's nice to see people around here who actually know what they are doing. :)

Didn't we all start from knowing nothing? Tyvm for the complement :)

Some updated effects. Fire probably needs more work.

Why isn't there a bolt pull after the reload?

Sorry I was mistaken in my last. You would need to pull a bolt at the beginning to take it from the clip and into the chamber anyway. So yeah it should use the bolt on the reload as well.

Modification of the Halo 3 Sniper rifle model. This isn't so much a mod as it is a test of what I can and can't do. I've learned how to unwrap and model a bit after making this. Texture is 100% my own. Compass works and the lines on the right scroll upwards slowly.

Nice. o.o

Make sure the projectile overpenetrates everything. By a lot.

Random Afterthought: For the sound effects, a gauss accelerated projectile is going like, Mach 40. So you need an epic "Breaking teh sound barrierz!" sound.

The sniper sounds nice, but not enough power/boom that adds to the effect of making the gun feel powerful.

The firing effect looks a tad too static, though everything else looks great.

He lives.

^^
I would add a little bit of swirling smoke and a few sparks, but then again I kinda have a weird obsession with sparks so :P
Definitely add the smoke though. It will help mask the static-ness of the main sprite.

Meh, shouldn't add smoke to a weapon that doesn't use gunpowder...

To be honest, I think a more forceful, less complicated, bright flash and louder sound would make a better firing effect than the current one. Not saying the current one doesn't look good mind you, just seems out of place on the weapon.

I love that sniper rifle.

Maybe could you add a little charging time, and make a small dynamic light that runs along the gun

A moderate amount is better than over doing it --- don't add too much smoke/vapor.



The plasma created in the firing and also surrounding the projectile when it compresses the water in the air and when it ionizes the surrounding air. the firing/projectile might be hot enough to materialize water vapor.
To me, the firing sound right now seems fine. I don't know if he can add a sound attributed to the projectile traveling across a map.



Charging time makes it sound too much like a Spartan Laser in my opinion.
The dynamic light along the gun sounds cool though.

A short charging would make sense assuming it's a MAG. Maybe have it that when you fire it does a VERY short little charge thing where the weapon look's all electrical and pretty and stuff. Then fire's.

Made from scratch.

Those who remember my mediocre fp arms texture release will recognize these, but know that these are made from nothing in photoshop by me, not some scans of real gloves this time.


Nowhere near done obviously, but this will be used in one of our upcoming mods.

Oh fingerless gloves on a hand that was originally modeled as just a glove, you so silly :P

I'd suggest trying to do something to make that ugly "seam" between the glove and finger appear like it should. Don't make split ends or anything else it looks like the glove is burned into his hand, so try just adding in a little shadow.

The cloth looks good, but I agree with ODX on the place where the glove meets the place with no glove (lol does that even make sense D:)

You could add like a seam or something or make it look ripped off. Actually, stick with the seam.

Yeah, you guys are right.
This is my real life ref btw:

You can see the little cuts on the edges.
I wear these everytime I leave the house (which is pretty much all day everyday.)
Edited by Jesse on Aug 7, 2011 at 08:22 PM

Where the glove meets the wrist, make the finger ends look the same.
Round off the corner (with light and shadows) and add a drop shadow to the underneath parts of the glove.

Will do.

Who wear's glove's all the time.... Interesting model though. Not much to say that hasn't been said.

Someone who wants to firmly grasp things without getting their hands dirty.

FIRMLY GRASP IT!

Beat me to it...

I know...

I think I'm addicted to creating HUDs :\



I just started this one yesterday XD

Got them in-game
