But for some reason, I do have a banana on the repeater...

BANANA!


This is how it should look, generally, in game.


Model Name: THERepeater8.ms3d
Polygons: 2873 Triangular Polygons
Build Time: 8-10 hours
Project: Jedi Knight: Rebirth

This is the final model that fits Halucid's original sketch to a fine level. The ONLY difference is the length of the "cheese grater." As well, the cheese grater doesn't have holes in it right now, nor is there an extention of the barrels in front. Making the grater into 3D archi and making barrels REALLY wouldn't have paid off in the end. At no time would you see any of that, and because, I simply left it out to discourage framerate with an already high detail model.

I'm allowing very little on this model to change unless it's a slight tweak. The slope of the sides is staying the way it is, for instance. Everything is pretty much at it's perfect size, and a small change to anything will probably effect every other part of the model.

Hopefully to go in this thread: Raildet and Concussion Rifle.

JediKirby

delicious!!! nice model too

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Oooh, very nice!

I think some of that detail in the handle could've been left out. You wont even see that stuff.

Have you thought about using a texture (with black holes) to replicate the "cheese grater" rather than like you said, modeling it.

Choo choo choo woo wooooo!

You could stand to lose the handle detail, like Z@N said, and I think it could stand to be a little longer in general.

STILL

AWESOME

I'm liking in ALOT, awesome work Kirb.

Now THAT, my friends, is the repeater. Great work Kirby.

I agree about the detail in the handle (lose it) and the general length (could be a little longer).

Very nice. I want the conc rifle!

Shouldn't the "Cheese Grater" have holes in it? Or is that just going to be a texture?

[Edit] Didn't see what you posted originally

I'm not losing ANY detail. When reloading, the handle will be in clear view. Not to mention, idle animations have the fingers moving and such, showing a lot of what would otherwise be covered up.

The lenth of the gun can be fixed, it just looked a little too long to me when modeling it.

The cheese grater WILL be a texture, since you'll never see the gun from the front.

JediKirby

Is the banana going to be yellow, or are you remaining true to Dark Forces?

*cough*Idlecameraanimation,gunpickupmodel,lookingdownthebarrelofsomeoneelse'sgun*cough*

Make the base wider.

JOKING! JOKING!

Very, very sweet.

Probably the best model you've made. Now please, please, please texture it.

Excellent, we really can't accuse kirbs of NOT putting his all into this after going through, what, 3 re-models?

Beautiful Work!

I think I'm in love...

I told you, not until my divorce is final

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

It looks a bit fat compared with the JK one. The detail is great though

Reminds me of the Flechete Launcher. Looks really heavy to carry. You might just scale it down along the X axis and nobody would ever notice HEHEHEHE. I did that with some guns once to make them more/less menacing.

3 public, 8 (As the filename shows) remakes including unshowcased.



All external, which has to be under 300 polygons, which is going to be no more than a pretty box with a stick attached.

Thanks for all of your posative comments, especially after I put 10 hours into the model, [which is the longest I've ever put into a model] plus all the other models I made. It really pays off to do that much work, but DAMN it was difficult.

JediKirby

Longer Barrel [as long as the reference sketch] to see if you like it.

snazzy

Actually I think the JKHUB people have confirmed a mesh is limited to 512 triangles or vertices or something (so a four sided surface counts for two towards this limit).

Kirby I think the latest update looks perfect, but the arm handle needs to be longer

no, I know the limit is 512. I keep my external meshes under 300. It runs smoother... a lot smoother. JK doesn't like high polygonal dynamic server models to be high in polygons. And really, you don't need that much detail for external models. If you look at models for things like Counter Strike source, the external models are sometimes under 100. It's REALLY easy to make an external model look detailed.

JediKirby

Ah. My mistake.

I don't like it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great model and all but I've always hated JK's repeater design, it's just ugly. Your previous design from the other thread was so much better aesthetically. Even though you were chastise for not keeping true to the repeater it was much more sexier then any version of the repeater.

I agree. But this IS the people's mod. The majority of the people want it to resemble JK, so I went with it.

By the way, to show you how the model lines up, shred did some fancy work. he had to extend the stock just a small bit, so whoever suggested that was correct.



JediKirby

Cool. Why can you see through the cheese grater on the inside though?

It's a 1 sided surface, rather than 3D stucture.

that end is just going to be textured, herr kirb?

No, I never said that twice in this thread, it was a figment of your
YES.

that....is...AWESOME!

I love the model kirb, staying true to the DF repeater yet still giving it an updated look for JK.

By the way, halucid deserves all the credit: It's his design. I just used my modeling program to transform it into 3D.

Best. Repeater. Ever.

Is the shot with the commando before or after you lengthened the barrel? If it's after, it looks kinda short still... though could be perspective, or my tiredness... college move-in today...

[edit2] Okay then

Yeah, I sent Shred the short one before he made that image. He's got the long one currently.

Bah

Wow. WOW. Wow.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeS
