shotgun."

The Mossburg 500 pump-action shotgun. Plus, I'll do another texture job on another of my models if someone can name where that quote is from.

And whatcha think?

can we get a few other angles? it looks kind of weird to me

Here ya go.

Looks good (although I prefer the SPAS-12 myself)

still improving i see.

Good model and good texturing.

now comes the hard part, getting it into JK.

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

Fantastic work. Especially on the handle.

Textures make or break the model...... :em321:

IN GAME!!! hehe :p Not as good looking, nuh?

Everything in front of the reciever seems a little bit long...

You broke Kyle's wrist

Then melted his hands.

The grip seems to be small compared to everything else, but I'm not sure how the scale is supposed to be, maybe it is that small.

Move Kyle's wrist under the barrel, that's a more natural place for it.

The line is "I'm a surgeon with this b*tch." And it's from Training Day.

ROTFL, the irony..... but *ding* thanks for playing. Next contestant.

But the grip and proportions are all correct based on my reference pic.

And yes, I know the hands are crappy, but thats how I hold a shotgun...... it just looks odd because in JK, the palms can't curve and move like normal hands do........ :em321: :p

still, the base of the palm should be closer to the foregrip

Not that I have to be at this range, but I'm a f***ing surgeon with a shotgun.

Kill Bill.

If it looks odd holding it 'correctly', then change it until it looks right. It doesn't need to be correct; it just needs to fool us.

This is something a ****load of modelers and animators would do well in knowing. I've modeled weapons to PERFECT proportions, and people still complain about lengths and sizes of objects. So, I've begun scaling things around to fit the perspective of the player. This adds a whole lot to a model, and makes them shine a whole lot more.

Then to me, something becomes lost, and it looks...well.....fake. I have always been preferential to realistic looking and acting everything in JK, not videogame real. And I doubt anyone would not play the mod, and if you say striving for perfection or some bulls*** like that, no mod is perfect, every mod has critism, and I will mod how I like to, and do not take it the wrong way, I like the critism, however, I will choose which to follow and which to not, not to mention....this showcase is about the model of the gun.

The short version, I model how I like to, to please myself, not the critics.

The line from Training Day was "I'm surgical with this *****".

Here's our winner, but now I guess I'll have to texture another model, hmmm, I think I know which one I'm gunna do.... O:-D

The thing is, what might seem real in the editor window ISN'T real. There's the concept of point of view that completely changes the proportions of a model when in game. Not to mention, if you modeled that weapon over a picture of it, you lost proportions there. It's more than likely that the weapon doesn't look real due to the fact that we have 2 eyes, not 1. We see a gun in our hand differently then a one eyed person would. You need to equate for that in a videogame so that it IS real looking. It doesn't look fake, because it's far more realistic than the 1-eyed perspective of the weapon.

Oh, and people are always going to criticize your models. I wouldn't post on the showcase forum if you didn't expect that. No one said that you had to do what people suggest, but it's silly to try to argue with people's opinions. In a few people's opinions: Your model's hand looks like it's about to break when that gun goes off.

Nice cartoony textures, FAKE CELL SHADING

And where are YOUR models lately?

But yeah. It's a good quote.

That's a good question, yoshi.
