Model Name: alien.MS3D
Build Time: 8.5 Hours [Record]
Polygons: 6,274 Triangles [Record]
Game: Now where could this sort of thing belong...

This took me an amazing 8 hours to complete. I spared no details, and did every little thing by hand. There are 5 or so primatives in that model, just for the screws. The rest is all hand done. My greatest model yet. Be sure to click the images for the unfriendly-to-56kers images, as they show off the detail in full.

Now I just want to add a strap like in the movie, but that all depends on how much I want to mess with boning for a newer engine, or seperating meshes for an older engine. I'll probably leave it out for the older engines.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? More PAIN?

Posting so Kirby doesn't cry to me. I have to go render it now and make it look even more sexy.

Is that screenshot of an Aliens mod for JK? Or is it just reference? If it's the first one, then SCHWEET!

I wasn't really trying to be funny... More like pointing out the first conclusion I reached upon reading your text and seeing the picture.

So, how do you think you're going to be able to texture this thing? ;)

That is amazing Kirby. Yu have some awesome skills with modeling.

Yes, it is amazing.

But the lack of textures is not! But I understand.

For those of you wondering about texturing: It's such a simply colored gun, that a few dark metal textures will do well for the whole model. Maybe shine for the barel, otherwise it's really easy to texture.

Is that an excuse to be lazy??? NO. I cannot accept that answer! I request that, no, I DEMAND that you put as much effort texturing it as you did modeling it!

2005-02-22, 10:22 AM #28
its good, apart from the pointy bits at the end of the gun should be circular, not with all those straight edges.
2005-02-22, 12:13 PM #29
That's arguable... The many references I looked at had a very slight angle at the bottom of it, but not enough to go through the trouble of adding that in myself. That portion could easily be redone too, as it's the only part that I myself am not really happy with yet. Perhaps later today I will.
