Machine gun...train.

[SniperMaster]

It goes on a track. Its a huge machine gun. Very nice, isnt it?
Polycount is 2302, i havnt optminized yet...

[SniperMaster]

'nother render.

[thejackal]

looks like good modelling but what the hell would you do with a big machine gun on a train? seems like a strange weapon that with textures you could pull off

[dhin]

The rounds look too small. The diamiter of the barrel looks like it should have a larger shot than what the shells are. but other than that it looks good, I'd like to have one of those in the boot of my car (tail-gaters beware! :evil: )

thejackal:
Well, its not meant to be attached to a train, but it goes along a line, it would be mainly sued for guarding trains though. the top part of the gun swivels round BTW.
dhin:
Ok, im going to have to remember, never go near your car!
Yeah i guess the rounds are to small, but i thought the gun looked stupid with a mini barrel. ill think of a way to fix that.

[thejackal]

you should add some sort of turning brackets or something, the it would be really obvious that it moves. alternativly you could put it on some sort of a tank. i think i tank would be really cool with maybe one or two of those.

[SniperMaster]

done.
view it here (http://www.snipamasta.co.uk/TurretTurn.avi)

i would properly render and compress it but im not on my nomral computer, as my normal one has totally messed up. (motherboard burt out and my graphics card got fried)

[thejackal]

what codec did you use? i cant watch it right now

[SniperMaster]

umm..i think i used: "XvId MpEg 4 CoDeC"

[FrodoBaggins]

It's XVID allright...

Looks cool!

For what kinda game is it for?

[Perversonality]

Wotcha! Nice gun but there's a couple of places you can lose some polys

1. The wires(?) at the front don't really add that much to the gun and wouldn't be seen a lot of the time.

2. The bullet strip should be contained within a box like a minigun strip, rather than a string of bullets. This would be more realistic and would require a lot less polys as you could use a texture instead:

for some reason the poly count doesn't seem to match the model. the model looks like a few hundred. not thousand.

lose the wires like Perversonality has said. no one is realy gonna see them in the same gap.

[Perversonality]

Each bullet looks like about 20 polys (assuming 5 sided though it's hard to tell) with a minimum of 24 bullets by the looks of things which is a whacking 480 polys that could be cut down to around 32 or so if you used a box. If the wires were straight, three-sided cylinders then that would help too if you want to keep them.

Any chance of a wireframe?

[SniperMaster]

Perversonality>
Well, ill keep the wires. I used a 3 sided cylinder so it only takes up in total 121 polys (aprox.)

You were right about the 5 sided, there are 26 in total.
Personally, i think they look cooler with them moddeled individually, but i will try out a box, it dpepends if it looks better or not.

nendo>its for an action rpg (re-written)

and ill post a wireframe when i get my pc bak.

[nendo]

thanks but i never asked what it was for. i think

[SniperMaster]

*smacks head on wall*
sos, i get confused easily. i meant to say:

Frodo:its for an action rpg (re-written)

:D
god im retarded.

[FrodoBaggins]

LOL!

Thanks man!

[Dr.N]

hehe , anyway it looks great
