<div class="IPBDescription">bing!</div> i thought of this, and it would be hard to do, but i think it would be awesome. and extremely highpoly. i was thinking of making a mg or pistol, that is completely clear. and modelling all the inside parts, to make it as close to a real working gun as possible. the bullet in the chamber would disapear, the inside of the barrel would flash completely white/orange/firy color, the casing would eject, and then another bullet would pop up into the chamber. i was thinking of doing the pistol because it has a shoot empty and reload empty animations.

what does everyone think of this?

    Interesting concept

    however I think thats a hulleva lotta work to go into something that will end up looking like a toy <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    ...you could just *NOT* make the pistol, and JUST have the parts...

    but the worst would be the animations

    Getting the glass effect shouldnt be too hard, just use the trans skins... but modeling all those innards = yikes. Your right, the poly on that will be a headache, unless we have some leet modelers (which we do) here that could optimize the hell outta it. That indeed would be cool... TOO cool I fear... I would always pull out my pistol and watch it fire... not aiming at the skulk... *chom*

    I hear by ban this idea because it's possible coolness factor affects my playbility factor. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I joke of course, this would be intresting to see a pack of see-through firearms...

    yes the worst would be animations. but it could be worth it. if the pistol was done, what kinda concept would it be?

    Yeah, the energy cell pack, the .223 LR's in the handle for that little Spestnaz surprise... the spring-loaded mechanisim... the two-way radio... man knives these days...

    Well if you need any pistol concepts, I'm more than willing to help out. Not to toot meh own horn, but I consider myself pretty good at doing nice in-depth pistol designs. Sure I may hark from the more realistic shapes and forms right now, but thats because I like my pistols to actually work in theory. Of course, I can always do a good Sci-Fi on if needed...

    well after some rigorous work i managed to get the knife finished.

    amazed at all the moving parts <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    well vash that is what we need. a pistol that works. perhaps it would be of help, if you had a pistol of your own you could take it apart, possibly draw all the main parts. the hammer, the clip, the chamber, the main stuff. if you dont have a pistol of your own you might be able to find a pistol taken apart on google, or on some gunfreak site.

    Sounds like it'd rock!

    Release a high-poly and a SUPER DUPER high-poly version

    High-Poly for the "normal" game machines

    Super high poly for those with the Radeon 9800XT and a 3.0 or greater Ghz CPU


    I could try to help with the concepts... maybe... lol. I'd need a gun to take apart tho


    (I doubt my dad would want me taking any of his apart... like the .22 revolver or his .357 revolver... and he'd MURDER me if I took his .44 Magnum apart <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    well DarkCharisma, it would be great if you could post the stripped down pics on here. this could be like some sort of [pre-mwip] thread i guess.

    Howstuffworks has cutaways and animations showing the internals. It's very basic, and probably missing a few things, but will get you started.
