Well, I figured I'd keep this team hidden for a good while, for our own reasons, but I figured we'd make our "Hello World" statement once we got a bit of work done. "Unknown Mappers" is a team making custom, futuristic styled guns, based on the Halo era. We may have some Covenant themed weapons, and some Halo inspired Human weapons.

Our first weapon, concept by Corvette19, modeled by SargentCrunch and SapperGrunt, is called the CV-19 Assault Rifle. It's going to be a fairly accurate weapon that has good range, moderate ROF, and moderate damage and will sport an ammo display, like the Assault Rifle. (Kinda like the CMT MA5K)
The model is currently WIP and we need to do alot more to the model, but I'll show some pictures of it.

We are currently looking for some people to texture, so if you can texture, contact me via Xfire at Corvette19.

that assault rifle looks somewhat like a mix of a french FAMAS and a P90.

and a battle rifle

To me, it's looks like the S8 P90 from Timesplitters 2 morphed with a Halo AR. Better be silenced .

I'll keep my eye on this team (in a good way).

That rifle is very unpleasant to my eye.

I can haz old render?

That tactical version will be a secret weapon most likely, only accessible through devmode, so it doesn't effect gameplay too much.

I'll post pics of my concept art when I make it.
I'll give anyone a cookie if they can guess what CV-19 stands for.

Chocolate Vegemite is $19?

Looks nice, though a bit plain, though it's still WIP, so that's understandable.

GL with the team =D

Thanks!

Wth is a Chocolate Vegemite?

And for people who are wondering, its polycount is around 2K.
Edited by Corvette19 on Oct 21, 2008 at 07:13 AM

The first 2 renders kinda sucked, so the last 2 are the same positions just clay rendered. Also, I modeled the one you see there (my name is SapperGrunt FYI), and that other guy made the 3p model (the one corvette called the "old render").

It stands for... uhh... Compact Vehicle? Wait, this isn't a vehicle is it...

Oh, and unless SargentCrunch can UVW unwrap nicely, we need a UVW unwrapper also.

I think Andrew_b can UVW unwrap, I'll ask him later.
Maybe he can join the team, hes pretty well rounded.

Fix the scope.. (Over lapping Surfaces)

EDIT: Also make it more smexy. Add more details. Also boxy weapon. Add some variation. I do like the silencer and laser pointer. Good job.

Have you ever realized that the SB P90 is a futureistic P90?


Timesplitters FTW!

Thought I was on the team. You, never asked me to do anything though.

Where's the map?

why is the bolt back?

We will be fixing "boxy-ness" towards the completion of the model, and many details will be in the skin, to reduce poly count, so the maps work good on low-end PC's also.



You told me that you wanted to finish that project first, then you would join the team, I'll talk to you over Xfire.



We're trying to make a stable tagset first, then work on the maps, although SapperGrunt has one map that hes working on, we will probably put our tags in that level, and release.



The bolt isn't finished yet, we will be making a more realistic one, with a slide, I guess he wanted to show the insides.

longpost is loooong

What scope?
I am not very knowledgeable on real life weapons, so I have no clue what position it usually is in (I've never actually even held a real-life gun before).


Yea, I have a BSP that is going to remain secret until release. I have another, but it probably wont be a UM release, or even a release by me (it's too ugly).

Gun model definitely needs work, I see a few errors, but it seems like a solid concept. Needs a bit more detail is all.

Could you tell me the errors that you see, possible circling them through paint?
Details are being added

why the future gun look. but a basic modern magazine?

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa303/corndogman939/here2yv1.png

Both areas have weird smoothing/triangulation. Minds posting a wireframe, with just a skylight?

Do you have any recommendations?

yah, set your smoothing groups and it looks like some verts need welding. Its a great start though, keep up the good work.

The magazine is going to be re-modeled. And as corvette said, I'd be happy to get ideas for one.
The back part hasn't been triangulated let, corvette rushed me to get a render done.

I haven't welded the verts in that picture, and I know my smoothing groups are very bad, since the renders were rushed, I spent maybe 5 or 4 minutes on them.

I wanted to make the announcement.

Good God, someone made about hello world and I got it........ I feel dirty.

What?
