[mwip] Starcraft C-20

Um.... so you gonna keep it bent? Like that? You're gonna have some curving bullets?

Chupacabra

I think this would make a great shotgun. Guass Rifle takes the place of the LMG. Is anyone up for reanimating after release?

I could probably just slap on the Cansiter Rifle to the Shotgun, but I can't re-animate.

Er...what happened to all the cool lookingness? The second pic you posted looks so awesome, and then the pic after that...its so undetailed o_o what'd you do to it? and whats with the bent barrel?!

Maus

It looks less detailed because (a) that was before I'd fixed the smoothing groups and (b) HLMV's lighting sucks. The barrel problem is fixed now too.

Vash

Oh...lets get a new screenshot then! o_o That last one made me lose all interest...

I think it should a be a lmg. <a href='http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/artwork/art25.shtml' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a closer pic of the reference pic he is using. You'll notice that the weapon can use both gauss and canister rounds. It is smaller though, so it would explain why it has fewer rounds than a normal gauss rifle. Anyway, I think that <a href='http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/artwork/art24.shtml' target='_blank'>this</a> would make a better shotgun, even has pump action! Just remove the top barrel and it would be perfect. But what will be the gl? A normal, long C-20 canister rifle like it is shown in Starcraft? And I think we all know what mines will be <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Machinegun_B0B

wow good model but i think it would be better if that was a GL cause it looks like more of a gl and just make the other sc gun the lmg that one that the marines use in the real game


gj on the model <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Jim

when you've finished texture mapping, could you post the maps here? I have a friend who's interested in skinning this <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

The gauss rifle is being done for the hmg, unless you can think of some other gun that would fit.

NightfireTG

hopefully, the gun can be finished and then i'll be using it like there's no tomorrow.

JoltGris

kewl gun!

Skin it ffs =)

Maus

Unfortunately, skinning it may take a while as I've found that (a) my first skinmesh sucked, and (b) the version of photoshop that's on this computer isn't as good as the one I'm used to, so I might just wait til I get home (start of May) to skin it. I think I could also do with adding some more surface details since I have 200 polygons to spare.

I suppose I could farm the skin out for someone else to do, but I'd much prefer to do everything myself.

RotA_Plague

There is no need to just add polys because your able to. Sure alot of details looks nice and all, but it makes the lower end people run slightly(almost unseen, but still) better. Just a suggestion, it is your model after all.

Maus

Well, it's just that the gun looks kind of flat and boring in a couple of places. And with my Celeron 400 I'm one of those low-end users, so I'm not about to be making any models that'll kill slow computers.

coil

I think the best way to do it is to try to have no more polys than whatever it is you're trying to replace. For instance, the skulk model is 986 polys, so if you're making a replacement, try not to go over 1000.

98 isn't old

Paranoia2MB

Current Year: 2003

Windows 98 is about 5 years old. Still a nice OS though =D

Okay, I said progress was going to be slow, but I've made a start on skinning it. However, when I did a quick test compile earlier I noticed my hitboxes had gone crazy. Any suggestions about how to fix them?

SnO0Py

No idea but nice skin! What exactly do hitboxes have to do with a v_model anyway???

Jamil

Have you used a 3ds file anywhere in your skining/meshing process?

Maus

Sn00py: Absolutely nothing, come to think of it. I guess I'll get by. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Jamil: Nope - all done with .m3d and .smd files.

SnO0Py

Yea I thought so. Hitboxes only count on player models, w_ models, and p_ models.

Maus

Okay, had some free time today to work on the skin a little. Sorry this is taking so long, chaps, but real world things are getting in the way.

I think I may replace the clip with a shell-insertion thingy, so it can be used for a shotty. Chances are I'll do it both ways.

(edit: I'm starting to feel like I <i>can't</i> get away with leaving the trigger out. Ho-hum)

Progress:
