A little flame thrower I made for Underground Resistance and a friend who was in need of a starwarsy flame thrower. Don't know how close to SW I got, but here goes.






The large thing hanging in the front is the gas blatter, holding the gas. The large rectangle is going to be clear. It's a fire resistant glass guard in case the blatter blows up, or the barrel gets too warm. The weapon is heald with the right hang grasping the handle on top of the gun, the square piece on the back being placed against the hip, and the left hand on the left handle. In short, it's pretty much like the one in Vice City.

Interesting... needs a pilot lighter. :]

I looks a bit like one of those handheld hoovers to me. I think it could do with a few more details and some textures.

Why do people say 'It Needs More Details' but never specify what exactly those details are?

Because I'm not an expert on flamethrowers. It looks a bit dull. If that is what a flamerthrower looks like, then flamethrowers are a bit dull.

Haha, ok.

Better?

Much better. Now, you need one of those ignition thingers.

hmmm, I wasn't going to put one, since it's SW, but maybe I will for fun...

I tried. I'm not going to use it in the final model, but hey.

JediKirby

p.s. Just got an idea to take the barrel from another model and slap it on here. I'll post a shot in a moment

Just imagine there's a hole in the cylinder, I didn't want to make it that high polly, and I didn't want to make it hollow when you wont even see it.

It keeps getting better! Is there any remote chance of you texturing it? (Surely there is always time to learn a new skill, if you haven't textured before?)

I just noticed that you can see an extra corner in that last shot, just fixed it and centered the nossel mathematically.

As for texturing... I suck. I don't have PSP, Gimp isn't very versitile, I don't understand half of the program, and it's so much eassier to have someone else do it ;-)

That is a good model. I can't wait to see it textures. Plus here the enemies roasting! <- thats an evil smile

The Sniper Missions. Current project, The Sniper Missions

The Magician Saber System.

The 2 riddle!

I hope you can make good cog for it Decent, Aaron's texturing it as we speak.

A shield??? Why would you need a shield on it?? Make weapons that are as dangerous on yourself, as it is for others. Wow. Thats confusing, I feel so smart. Jedi dont even coment on that last remark.

------------------
If man was in the forest and woman was not there to hear him, is he still wrong?

Todays flame throwers (Correct me if I'm wrong) have a flame retardent shield on them, as to protect the user from the heated flame emmiting barrel, or the blatter at which can explode if damaged. It's no different from firing glasses.

JediKirby

p.s. Oh, and it's great to have you back jamebag.

Its a little to boxy, and could use more extruding then shapes. Your gettomg the right idea, but if you want to be more experienced in milksape, and do better models, i suggest using vertex and face mode, and just do poly by poly like I do, to get the best out of it.

Shapes are good, dont get me wrong, but I really suggest doing it a more professional way. Other then that, good model!

My suggestions:

Make the entire thing more round

Make the sheild round and see through with an aiming crosshair on it

Make the hangle more like a longer handgun handle

Make the pilot light a small tube on the bottom of the end barrel that goes like this:



(except touching the bottom of the barrel)

Looks nice!
