HI-Power Blaster 2028 {WIP]

[pNz]

this is my first gun..actually my first model other than the knife down below that i just did to learn how to texture. im having problems on the handle. Every time I try to round it off and look more natural i get all kinds of smoothing group errors. The handle right now is probly temporary since its crap compared to the rest of the model. Im happy with the rest of the model tho :naughty:

 

[pNz]

fixed handle good enough for me. now i need to redo the trigger and i think itll be pretty much done :cheers:

I like the look, but it doesn't present itself as a very effective weapon, seeing as it appears to have only a single shot. Also why did you opt for the heavy front ? there is no backwards motion for it to be a counterweight for, so are you thinking there is going to be something in the front part ? And why the huge safety ? I know you mentioned blaster so maybe it's an energy weapon, it just seems like it draws from a projectile weapon more than an energy weapon.

i guess i should have mentioned that this gun if from the anime SILENT MOBIUS. Its the main issue sidearm for the AMP (attacked mystification police) dept. It is an energy weapon. I havnt modeled the cartridge yet, but it goes in the front bottom barrel strangely enough. Ill post again when its finished.

its stylised so dont keep asking questions like "why is this part so big" and all that lol.
i think its an amazing model quite simple but well done anyhow . i was going to make a gun like this but i couldnt drawup the concept i was too lazy lol. do you have any plans on the texture?

 

[Cunbelin]

heh there is no point in giving out drooling adoration at best it inflates egos. Even stylized the safety is a bit large, but at the time I mentioned issues relating to it under the assumption of it being a traditional firearm. Even if it were meant to be a traditional firearm it looks great, and I said as much, I just pointed out the few flaws I saw with the design.

In any case, can we get wires, and maybe a concept/reference shot ?

(do note I am not implying that you were giving pure adoration)

 

[pNz]

heres the wire and reference, like i said its not my design. i just felt like modeling something different. i mean im sure someone other than i get tired of looking at 10 glocks and AK's a week :angel: im sorry if you think im trying to get my ego inflated. its my first real non-tutorial model and im just happy with the outcome...

 

[Cunbelin]

Heh, not at all, unless you only expected complete adoration on your post. I see it as a disservice to the artist to not post reactions at least, in any case you probably deserve a little ego inflation it's a very nice model.

 

[pNz]

well, the model is finished now, its pretty high poly at just over 2000 polys. anyone remember the recommended poly count for weapons for HL2 engine, i know i could loose alot of polys off the front barrels. anyway, heres a final render with the energy cartridge etc. oh btw, if anyone is interested in making easy but very nice renders like the ones i did for this post then download VRAY for 3dsmax. its very easy, and theres a 6 part VRAY vid tutorial over at www.3d-palace.com

 

[Tork]

very nice!

 

[mindless_moder]

it is uite good ...
u might want to remove the glos out of the material tho .
i think 2000 is good for hl2 i think the recomended amount fell into a range from 1000 to 2000 or something like that .

 

[pNz]

ya, the gloss was just messing around for the render. ill be working on the texture soon.

It's looking good pNz. Great work.

I'm amazed by all the good models in this forum.
