[WIP]Shotgun (maybe for GW)

[st0lve]

I'm working on this shotgun based on a shotgun I got on one of my miniatures.
It stands at 621 polys, but I can always make it more detailed.
Screenies:

btw. I haven't made a handle or a front grip, but I will do it later...

C&C please

Which program?
I guess Milkshape since the background is blue and it's really edgy.
Have you done any smoothing at all?

Anyway: The pipes would look good if you smooth them.
As it is now you'll find slimmer weapons in Doom 3d :/

 

[Submerge]

it looks real bad.

its a better idea finishing it off before trying to get crrits.

 

[st0lve]

I know its a crappy MS3D picture, and there is no smoothing, since I haven't come there yet (by tutorials), and its a flat shaded picture.
I have made it a bit shorter, since I just noticed that the foregrip is supose to be on the beginning of the barrel.

Slimmer weapons? What do you mean? If its what I think, then no, I do not want a slim weapon, its supose to look big and scary

EDIT:
Sub, atlest tell my whats bad with it...

btw. I'm a mapper, not a modeler

 

[GOoch]

to be honest stolve... you dooing quite well with that program. Working with what youve got i like it.

just think if you got your hands on 3DMAX what you could do after a fiew weeks of practice. And also useing its inbuilt Tutorials cool

I does look really GW. Although, if I were you, I'd try rounding the edges of the chasssis/case a bit.

 

[st0lve]

I'll try to round it out, but I dunno if I'll make it, since my modelling skills isn't at the top
btw. did I tell you that this my second "real" model? And I made the chassis shorter, since it was a bit long (because the foregrip is supose to be at the start of the barrel)...

 

[st0lve]

More progress:

C&C (I know its blocky and the handle sucks), its my second model btw.

 

[Stormy]

it looks abit bland but i dont blame that on you. i find that most 40k weapons can be abit bland

 

[Brian Damage]

It's the level of detail available from the plastic and metal that does that, I think, as well as a slightly stagnant way of thinking on the part of the GW design team.

They've tried to add more detail and update the style in recent years. The new bolters, for instance, look much more realistic than the old ones, IMHO.

 

[st0lve]

fishy and Brain, I know it lacks of detail, but its kinda the way the model is (Its like 5 years old )...

I got a cool idea to make it "work", but I need 2 edjection ports (no problem) and 2 "inputs" (were you put into the ammo), almost like a standar hunting shotgun (with a "break" point), but you put the 2 shell into the left side, and the pop out of the right side. So then it can be a double barrel shotgun

I'll try to do something with that awful handle, and make it more "realistic"... Also maybe add some more detail.

 

[st0lve]

I made a little drawing about how I want it to work (I dunno if its possible to make, but anyway, its a concept )

After each shot(s), the clips (there are two) "pops" in one slot. When all the 8 shots are fired, you got to insert a new clip.
I'm thinking of something like sawed off with a clip (2 and 2 shots)...

 

[Stormy]

yea i know stove i used to play necromanda or how ever you spell it but the models used to lack detail especily the ones that came free with the game. perhapes you should use them as a basis and try to develop them abit to take full advantage of HL2. i had the same problem with my bolter its just a cople of boxes


if you want i do have some old 40k models i think i have a lass gun mayb a stubgun bolter bolt pistol and some bolter sniper i made up most of need a little more work to get them up to scratch but your welcome to have them for GW if you want

 

[st0lve]

That bolter is ok, as long as you remove the eagle
Stubgun is like a revolver isn't it? Just pm me a link or something with them

Anyone know if my concept is possible?

 

[Mikademius]

too slim boltgun

The shotgun is getting better, but I think you can waste more polys.I also modelled(spelling?) once and it should be wider I think.And yeah, the knife is not supposed to be a there Just for fun.

 

[st0lve]

That was a little to slim

 

[Stormy]

looking good

its pritty old.. i wanted to make one for CS but i dont know how

 

[st0lve]

Oi fishy, can you send me your models?
btw. GW (Games-Workshop) will force you to remove the weapon if you make it for cs, because GW does only want TCs (total conersions)...

 

[Stormy]

ill do some renders some of um arnt that good coz there pritty old school give me awile and ill do um for you

 

[Stormy]

ok

here is a melta gun and the lasgun both need abit of work to get them up to standerd as they are year old models but hay if your intrested there yours i have a cople of other 40k models which ill post up if your still intrested.

 

[st0lve]

Looks good, only thing is the eagle on the lasgun, because non IGs (Imperial Guard) aren't allowed to have the IG marks, so that is a thing that got to go...
But, then it may become a little to flat, so then you can add like a bandages (clothing) around the barrel or so.

Rofl, I forgot to write the Meltagun into the modconcept, but I'll add it asap...

I want those models (inc. renders ), so that I can add some renders to the Gang War page

 

[Stormy]

u got msn???

ill add you and ill send you the models and you can do what you want with them
