*Some of the best weapon models i have seen...

[operative x]

This guy is just insane-

There are a bunch more at that website

 

[Death.Trap]

Wow, those are damn good.

 

[Hazar]

Wow!

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Very beautiful models indeed

 

[Recoil]

They look.. plastic somehow... but very good.

 

[SidewinderX]

he has crap lighting.

the models/textures are nice though.

 

[Mikademius]

nah, I'd beat that glock how lo/high poly are those?

 

[operative x]

i dont think they are dont on polygons, i think NURBS. But the skill and detail in the weapons are amazing.
"nah, I'd beat that glock " You have a better looking glock that you have made?

Why would he use nurbs on these? Maybe, maybe not... NURBS are better for technical modeling anyways....

[Mikademius]

btw: it's not NURBS. Take a closer look

 

[operative x]

... wow
what program you using? 3dsmax? xsi?

 

[Death.Trap]

btw: it's not NURBS. Take a closer look

YOu can tell if he used NURBS? wow...what the hell are nurbs anyways?

 

[RMachucaA]

Non Uniform Rational Beta-Splines.

How can you NOT know what they are

 

[Mikademius]

operativex: maya.
Death.Trap: you can tell by looking at rounded areas. NURBS are curves and would not have a jaggy rounded area.
RMachucaA: Beta- Splines?? rofl... Run a check on that one I promise. You'll have to rewrite that reply

 

[spuit*11]

dang mikademius....that looks slick!!! :|

 

[operative x]

it can't be maya, your interface looks completly different from mine.

 

[Cunbelin]

I doubt very much that it's NURBS, it's most likely sub-division surfaces. For those of you who haven't used NURBS they are used to create a curve using a series of points. NURBS surfaces have a number of rules that extremely difficult to deal with. Maya at it's heart is a NURBS modeling package though they are changing that. In any case It's probably just lots and lots of polygons, or sub-division surfaces.

 

[Mikademius]

operative x:it's customizable. And I have a licence
Cunbelin:Probably pure poly, not even sub-d. Well, the older maya versions had NURBS as their main modelingtechnique, but as you say this is changing. I never use NURBS unless it has econimic purpose for my scene...

 

[The Dark Elf]

Those are pretty cool

 

[Dodo]

the refolver sucks... not that i can make it, however the glock looks good

 

[Coolhead2100]

RMachucaA: Beta- Splines?? rofl... Run a check on that one I promise. You'll have to rewrite that reply

Looks like you yourself better recheck the definition:

NURBS Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (mathematical algorithm used in computer graphics especially CAD)

Who had the last laugh

BWT: Nice rig on the glock, how man driven keys was it?

 

[Mikademius]

I'll have the last laugh because it's Bezier Splines, not Beta splines. Now you should be ashamed for trying to correct something without proper research j/k. Anyways, it's Non-Uniform Rational Bezier-Spline.

The glock had about 10 driven keys. The whole rig exept the bullets sliding is set up with driven keys. Well, that one is also set up with driven keys, but it also has the motion path.

 

[ItchyFish]

omg mikademius turned the post into a praise for him . . .




iF.

 

[brisck1]

Pretty nice, but I hope they are not for in-game use. They look very high poly!

 

[st0lve]

I don't like those "best models evr" ones.
They actually look like shit.
Those "skins" are :S
The models look "soft", abit to soft.

 

[operative x]

You think the desert eagle looks like shit? you gotta be ****ing kidding me...

 

[Muzzi16]

Does anybody know this guy? Is he modelling for a mod?

 

[Recoil]

As far as I can see he's japanese... they're doing (ultra-hard-to-do?)things pretty often

So ... probably no mod.

 

[Muzzi16]

Unfortunately, I can't read any Japanese. But after seeing this part of the site:
http://www.nitroplus.co.jp/pc/ranking/rank_look.php3?rank=mon
I think it's some kind of voting site for anime and 3d models. It sure doesn't look like a portfolio.

 

[Mikademius]

I'm still looking forward to Coolhead2100's next reply

 

[Coolhead2100]

Your backlash made me cry Guess I was wrong, oh darn.

 

[st0lve]

You think the desert eagle looks like shit? you gotta be ****ing kidding me...

No I'm not.
It just looks fake\cartoony..
Its prolly about 100000000000000000000 polys aswell.

 

[Mikademius]

None of these models look like shit. I don't see why that is. With proper skinning/shading these would be impressive. Even though the polycount might be high, the model still looks good. And the desert eagle looks good. I don't know why you say what you say here stO|ve. The topic focuses on models, if the lighting and shading was better, you'd love it

 

[neopangaia]

the weapon models in doom 3 were very nicely done as far as the surfaces looked rounded and organic. Yet, when i look at the wireframes for the guns in doom 3 i see that they are very low polygon. anyone know how that was done? i know normal mappiung is well and god but it cant really help with the edges of a gun and still have the gun look organic, rounded and high poly.

im working on a mod and am curious what u guys think is the reason they look cool.

on a side note, someone over at ************* made some gun models that weighed in at 10000 polys a peice and the engine didnt even snag a bit on his 9800. (im designing my mod for 6800/x800 or better by the way)
