SMC M#01 - rocneasta - Legendary Weapon - The Neutronizer

[rocneasta-3DT]

Done a sketch yesterday of the basic weapon model, still need to find some time to do additional 3 items linked to it, model and assemble it. Did 35 min on the weapon it self, leaves me plenty of time to do basic modeling, without extravagant detailing...

Should i post some WIP's and ruin the surprise?

gonna have to think about it... brb dipper change

Might as well post some WIPs to get feedback on the model early on while you have time.

the general idea is to make more than just a weapon, something than could be described as a weapon system - if i can manage that in time - but i will disregard detailing and put the general idea out there...

how precise the sketch is, the faster i model, so i might be able to do some justice to my concept

This is the mechanism i borrowed to fit my weapon, and it could relate to some futuristic bio mini gun, the type a space marine would carry

p.s. the bullet that's out of the barrels is the one fired couple of milliseconds prior to taking the SS... no motion blur tough

No crits so far, very cool, I can't wait to see how this comes out.

Hi Rocneasta, are you planning to do any surface detailing in Zbrush later? I agree with Levartho, very nice looking shape so far, and also looking forward to see how this comes out.

[avishek]

Nice.

[rocneasta-3DT]

@ czacen - don't think i'll be able to zbrush it with details - due to time and due to the fact i've never used zbrush in speed modeling before... but times certainly have changed so i could try to adapt

[pables]

But it is allowed to use ZB? I think it is not.

Coming out really nice! Wanting to see it finished!

[rocneasta-3DT]

i didn't do much today, got tied up with work... did do the back end, still some minor adjustments, the trigger and the handle for the right arm, plus the light set with laser mount... not much but just an inch towards the final goal

clay render with some lights and a laser to simulate what i was going for

[rocneasta-3DT]

no inspiration whatsoever... will need to sharpen my pen a bit more for this to come out right...

[czacen]

Don't give up on this rocneasta. How much time do you have left? My advice is that all you need to focus on is making the design BLEND better. Straight lines or curved lines. Pick one, a mix of them will normally clash. Go with a common flow.

The design itself looks nice- but I would bring a bit more focus back to the 'legendary' side of things. The weapon is supposed to be something terrifying, awesome and epic. Try and work a few of these concepts back into the design to show this! Another suggestion may be to reference a few real-life weapons and integrate some of the essential components to make it look like it would really work!

well this was all done in 55 min so far. I got a lot of time left, but my concept is simple and epic, the weapon is entirely made of reinforced mix of carbon-plastic-ceramics, fires bullets based on bio weapon destruction, and has two high powered electro magnets that the person carry's as a holster addon's to deflect all incoming projectiles - this is all integrated to make it EPIC - you can't be harmed and can kill stuff

since i made it all up, except the mini gun mechanism since it's basically integrated in it - the rest of the design is coming along slowly, especially since i've under some heavy work load

good thing is i've moved to max so i'll finish this model here and try to get the others done in max... want to finish this one badly but have to find some time...

[hammering3D]

I see U are on killing spree nice like always, clean and many details, i like it

[rocneasta-3DT]

unfortunately i may give up on this, unless i give birth to another pc or get windows + 3ds max working on my imac...
