Guest drewid Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 HE HE. Oh Yes. NIce model. Tho I think there should be a little more space between the top of the gun-body and the botton of the sight mount. Just a couple of cms. Other than that its perfect big grin Hey, Heres a thought, I wonder if there are sites out there with samples of real weapon sounds? I'll bet there are some US NRA sites with stuff like that we could ask to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubik Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Curse yer bones! I had totaly forgot about the magzine. Ok, redone it so taht the mag it a separate object. 502 polygons. And do we have anyone who's great with textures? I can do it, but it's not my strong side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Squad Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Looks good, tho never liked looks of that gun(mp5 looks better). Why use desert eagle as it is used primarily civilians.

Deimos Posted May 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Looks good, tho never liked looks of that gun(mp5 looks better). Why use desert eagle as it is used primarily civilians. Beretta is much better. OICW would be nice, but it could make game too easy.The main problem with the mp5 is that it's used by special forces and police all over the world and a bit on too common. Seeing as xenocide is a top secret project, the human weaponry should reflect that mythical advanced tech look. The OICW looks very cool and does fit in with that 'shadow' tech look. As does the socom. I don't think that the base pistol should be a DE though as it was the base for the laser pistol and like Drewid said we should have a different look for each of the weapon groups.

GreatGold Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hey - I don't know if you need some images to get textures from for the SOCOM, or any other models your doing, but I have no problem doing the research for you. This goes not just for Cubik, but for any modelers. Likewise, I can also just do some research for you in general, gathering large enough and high quality images from the correct angles. If you like. Perhaps to save you time better spent where all your amazing talents lie. Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatGold: "Perhaps to save you time better spent where all your amazing talents lie."Goddamn it, I'm blushing here :Blush: .If you feel that you have time finding pictures for me and the other modelers, be my guest.I'm looking for cool weapon designs from these categories:HandgunsSMGsMachinegunsTry to find pictures with a slight hightech design.

That'll do nicely. The HE is cool too. Just wondering if it needs a carrying handle of some kind just to make it easier to use? Thinking about it maybe the end caps should be a rounded triangular thing that covers all three sticks.The reason is that it would be too easy to get weapon straps and webbing tangled round in between the sticks,end caps would stop that.

GreatGold Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hey - Thats one thing I can definately do...research. So, I can either go with the basic list you just gave me with the broad categories, or if you have specific models in mind I can work on those. Just post a list, or better yet PM me so I dont miss it. This goes for any modeler, and models of any type from aircraft to armor to weapons. Gold ps - also let me know how you want them...sent directly to your email or posted to the boards and in what format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubik Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Do I really need to model the hole in the barrel? If I just use a texture there we could save a whooping 18 polygons on all guns . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drewid Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 That would certainly work for the in game / arming versions.The x-net / pedia versions would probably have to have holes, but then poly count is less critical there anyhow seeing as it's pretty much the only thing on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I agree. While it's more work, we'd probably do well with 2 versions of each weapon. A high poly version with all the bells and whistles for the X-Net display, and a low poly version for the battlescape. A rifle barrel for the battlescape version could probably do with a hexagon profile without a problem for example, definitely no hole, and beveled edges wouldn't be seen easily either. The zoom is not going to be really close, so that fine detail is lost on the user normally. But a 1500 poly version for X-Net would look very nice!

But a 1500 poly version for X-Net would look very nice! With a proper stripification we can easily get 15000 polygons for the XNet Interface (thanks Blizzard guys, they had release the stripification algorithm for the public...)

You may well be right about the beveled edges, but lets leave them till we see it going. They might make some difference on the arming screen where the weapons will be bigger, especially on a high res screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Everybody who's working on models, could you send me a PM and let me know everything you're working on or would like to work on in the near future? I'm getting a list together (and checking it twice) so we know who's working on what. I can make assumptions based on what's posted, but I'm sure there's some "closet modelers" out there! I'll follow this up with pestering PM to those I consider likely suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglachel Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 And most recent creation, the Plasma Rifle.The ufopaedia gave me impression that it was split like this.

Anglachel Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I figured you guys would say that.I am helping someone else with models. He wants more of the original, and these were things I recently made for him on that night I stayed up till 4am finishing my english portfoilo. Just figuered I show you guys incase there was something you liked.My model database is growing and I can build things faster by importing objects instead of building the sameone over and over.

Guest drewid Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 (edited) All good work tho. We need to get more advanced weapons concept sketches going, especially the alien tech stuff. The smoke bomb is OK. That's like a real life grenade anyhow.The stun bomb would be similar I guess, with a pin/trigger machanism attached somehow. I reckon it works like an EMP weapon only it attacks the central nervous system like a taser. So there would be a bright flash and big sparks.Perhaps the sphere could be covered with spikes which help to propogate the sparks. The heavy plasma clip similar - It looks like a real life clip so it shouldn't be a problem. It might be possible to tweak the plasma rifle rather than starting again.

Anglachel Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 The rifle took about an hour, everything else combined was maybe an hour. Like I said, I slapped them together.

Anglachel Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I have been kicking around an idea on a Elerium Fusion Generator and a ship disabling missle. Here is a start on the gernerator. There will be two chambers, a fission and fusion. The elerium is split in the first chamber and energy is captured. Then the split matter is moved into the second chamber and fused back together. With both processes going on at the same time, more power is generated and it increases the lifespan, for lack of a better word, of the fuel supply. But the fuel will run out, just not as fast.

Breunor Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 An interesting concept, how would this play out in the game? I guess this is for use on planes that use elerium? There would be the cost of making it and installing it, but I think another tradeoff is needed due to the huge benefit it provides. Perhaps the armor of the ship is reduced, to reflect the unstable nature of the device, so less damage is needed to destroy the craft? Or maybe some multiplier is randomly calculated into the damage when it's present, so a shot does 1-5 as much damage to the plane using the device. Perhaps the model should reflect a powerplant type of shape, similar to a turbine engine. This is assuming it's designed to be used in planes of course.
