grendade launcher(the model not a idea)(and yes there is pics)

today i was playing and people were fighting and such over what sucks in the game and then a member of the games development said there are next to no modelors so i offered to model and made a grenade launcher (quickly so its kinda rough) its not waht it willbe just a guide to what im making, what do you all think) no its not in the game or gonna be, but im hoping to join the team and want to know what you think of my modelling. this was made in cinema 4d.


ps i have more pics foryou all showing its view in fps and iron sights but saved em in wrong format. they willbe up soon

 

more ics

 

and the fps view

 

Why does a grenade launcher need a bipod?

 

That's pretty ugly. It also has a shitload of polies it really REALLY doesn't need.

Also, you aren't supposed to render models with color, that's the skinners job.

 

it does not, but i just liked the idea of it havinga bipod, this isjust a beta so if you dontlikestuff speak up and ill change it

 

Lower the poly count, how long did it take to render those?

 

thanks for that that makes it easyer, ok no colour got it, im still new to this

 

It looks really bad to be honest, just a bunch of random shapes stuck together with no precision.

 

Take that guy offering to help!

 

heres another one, lil better?

 

No.
Again, massive polies, and that handgrip is just stupid, you can make things out of boxes, not just spheres!

 

how do i reduce polies then?

 

just a little edit

just a small edit to the one above, a ammo cartridge(like a SAW) and and new handle and trigger

still dontknow how to lower pollies help?

 

Good concept, needs a little smoothing work though...

Maybe Empty could tell us all how to reduce these "pollies" instead of just whining about it.

 

Empty thinks a poly is a type of invisible parrot that eats performance and hides inside of smooth curves.


Also, is that model supposed to look like it's from TF2? :p

 

That's the skin that was removed. Look at the latest pics.

 

i like the second concept, the part where you put your trigger finger
looks a bit to roundish imho but the rest fits well with the
blocky + Art Déco design.

I guess its the high poly model so why bother with polygon reduction???

 

It's a fucking ugly high poly model that's made up of nothing but curves.

 

lol man he's not saying "hey use this nade launcher and implement it as a weapon for engineers". he's obviously making more and more concepts as needed so its not the end of the world.

no need to cuss him out, he's trying modeling for like the first time.

letting him know the poly count needs fixing and what to do about it is allright, being a cunt about it isnt.

EDIT: recent conversation quote that I feel needs to be posted here
