Lowpoly at a later date when I can be bothered to make it. Please give me credit for any use, its only fair.

No, its my name. Some guy made an account with my name because he was sad. End that discussion here, aint cluttering the thread.

dang you are a roadrunner i have never seen anyone release their weapons this fast

I think I just jizzed my pants at how awesome this is.

That could be me just being crap at origins. :L

Actually, its better from that origin, the shortness of the shotgun there makes it look more bulky, which is a good thing.

I tend to make my models look more bulky than what they actually are. Makes people more scared if you see it :P

this deserves a badge of awesomeness.

Didn't you forget to appreciate people's releases, regardless of where they happen to post them?

So how High polly is this? 3 million Tris? cause it would look nice in halo but halo couldnt handle it, or could she?

High polys are created for normals and ao's, and some other things. But normals and AO's are the major things there used for.

Great job dude.

not to sound like a jerk but uhh why dont u post the tags instead?

uh DUR its too high poly for halo. he doesnt have a tag, its a model. DUR.

That flashlight is bugging me to death, but the model is still damn good.

its like ocd

Thanks guys.

And just so you know, this is a high poly model. Like stated above, its used to put details into the textures and normals maps so that they don't need to be hand painted.

I will make the lowpoly model that YOU can make tags with when I have time, but I start University monday, so I don't know when that will be.

Edit: And I made another thread for the release because I know people won't realize that its on the first post of that other thread. Ive put it on there as well though.

So... why don't you tell us how you make your models low poly (i understand the whole normal maps thing) if you're not too busy. I'm pretty curious myself.

remove un-needed details... simple.just delete triangles that are not needed...

you sit there deleting 9 million triangles?

no, you sit there, select edge loops, and remove the edge loops.

l2 subd

Wow dude, that's a very nice shotgun there, I need to change my underwear now. :D

l2 not say l2 >.<

google would probably a better source than selecting edge loops which I have no idea what the HELL those are.

Wait, so why doesn't he make the low-poly versions first? Isn't the High-poly version the more refined product of the low-poly version?
unless it's ripped?

High poly lets you bake the details into a low-poly version of a gun without sacrificing poly count.

I'm fairly sure that sub-d models are easier to make than low-poly anyway. You don't need to spend too much time refining details into the weapon, because the MeshSmooth modifier can do that for you.

When you bake the details into a low-poly model, you're saving yourself tons of time without sacrificing poly-count or quality.

For making a low-poly version of a model like that, couldn't you just run the model through tool, then extract the low-res version of the model from it?

why would bungie included the high poly models in the game, its a waste of disc space.



i lold. lol no.



Ctrl+Remove

learn it.

Select edge loops then Ctrl + Backspace to remove edges AND verts at same time.

And you best not be accusing me off ripping boy :@

I will do when I have time because ost of you will probably mess it up :/

Looks great as always, loving it.

how come the pump's sliding range looks shorter from the right hand side than from the left?

i'm not being a jerk when i say this, but why would anyone need a high poly gun? i know nothing about weapon modeling so i'm just wondering why you would put all that work into the model when someone is just going to turn it into a low poly weapon, it seems a shame to me

not me :3



Do you not read? The high poly is used to bake detail into the low poly's unwrap, as a normal map and AO map.

Speaking of which, how does one go about "baking" a model into a lower-poly one's texture set?

Because that is the way game's are made now. Highpoly models are made to bake the details into textures (normal maps, diffuse, ect..).

ALL professional game designs do this..

I have a slightly updated origin/render...but Max isn't cooperating:


Originally it kept taking like, an hour to render, then all of a sudden it rendered this one out in mere seconds, then it went back to an hour .___________.
