FN forty-nine

[simon]

made this in about 3 hours time, it's 1223 triangles
(final model) ready to be unwrapped and textured

 

[Ennui]

it's pretty good, needs a real nice skin though

 

[Some0ne]

meh, its not bad. kinda basic though. needs to be smoother in places and more detailed.

 

[Samio]

It's ok just as a model but perfect for ingame use. With a beaufitul skin it will be just right for any mod or cs replacement.

 

[Garfield_]

basic, but with a good skin its brilliant and we all know you off-limit guys can skin

 

[simon]

the details are on the model where they are most seen in 1st person view ... why would it need more detail for parts that are never seen ?
sometimes you really forget the difference between a show-off model and a game model imHo

and about it being basic, it's almost identical to the real thing, so mail FN they make basic weaponry then

and about the skin, i already have one lined up, i'll post the final shots when its completed

 

[Garfield_]

hehe yeah maybe they manufacture basic shaped guns, we just said it was basic. basic can be good too

 

[Some0ne]

yeah, it'll be fine with a skin.

imo its skins which really make or break a model. the model only really needs to be the basic shape for the skin to be applied to.

well, on request from the guy who will be skinning it, i added the grooves on the slide, and i rounded the trigger area a bit more since i had triangles to spare ... (final trianglecount: 1560)

he also skinned this for us:

now the fn is great
that machinegun skin, i dont like it :/
just doesnt look realistic

 

[crackhead]

thats a sweet model man especialy for how many triangles it is its perfect for any mod btw how did you do those grooves did u do lots of subdivisions

 

[simon]

i just modeled them (vertex, cut tool)
18 grooves with circa 3 poly's per groove

 

[Small_Sumo]

Simon my goodness your work is tremendous.

Wow.

 

[simon]

lol, i see you have looked at my profile !

thanks dude, i will be showing some more updates later on (i'm going to finish my CH53 helicopter next (i think). You can find a lot more content on our mod forums btw, here is a thread i made with the map_props i did for the mod:

they are building Alpha 0.2 at the moment (we should be able to starting play the mod pretty soon) and i can't wait

garfield that skin actually is more accurate than most dodgy gradient high contrast work that is suposed to look realistic.
