[Weapon Swap] – Jat Kittag– Nuke Hammer

brandoom

Hi all,

I'm going to be working on a new Jat Kittag model for this contest.

The Nuke Hammer has two small nuclear reactors in the head of the hammer. These reactors energize and spin powerful magnetic turbines. When the turbines come into contact with an object ( enemy, floor, etc) mass amounts of pooled energy is released.. doing some serious damage to whoever is in the area.



Everything is still a work in progress.. just trying to get some of the basic shapes laid out and looking good.

Looks sweet. Love the balance and the details. can't wait to see more.

Few small updates, just continuing to add in some detail and block out other areas. I got the gears to line up which was pretty tricky, took me a little while to figure that bit out.

Looking forward to moving on to the highpoly and some animations!



Still very much a work in progress.

Moving along with this... I did a first pass on the low poly tonight. Its sitting right at 7508 polys. I noticed a couple things I could remove after I rendered it, so I might go back and make a couple changes.

I added in a sort of hand safety grip at the bottom.. the idea being, the character would have to have the trigger complete compressed in order to operate the weapon.

Next up, UVs!

Things continue to move along nicely.

Got the UVs done, baked the normals, and got the Hammer into TennoGen. Pretty happy with how it looks, might go back and make some small edits.

Up next I'll start getting a color scheme laid out and applied.

Lookin nice there Brandon. Can't wait to see this puppy textured! It gives me a Fallout vibe too

brandoom

Thanks for the nice words Chase

Just trying to get some basic color ideas together here. The colors are based on the Grineer color palate which I found on the Warframe Wiki

Hey guys,

just wondering if anybody else has been dealing with shading issues in TennoGen?

This morning I tried to load up my model and texture, the same ones that were working fine two days ago, and I got this.



Meanwhile, if I load the same model and texture into Marmoset I have no issues at all..



I've tried new exports, resetting xform, new textures, re-installing TennoGen.. not sure what else to try at this point. But like i said, this is the same model and texture that was working fine two days ago..

Thanks!

Not sure if anything has changed... Will get the fellow familiar with the shader we have in there to follow up.

Hey Brandoom, the OBJ import code did change a bit to fix some scenarios we were seeing, so that's quite possibly what's causing this.  If you're able to send me the OBJ you're trying to import, I can go through and fix our stuff (anything I've tested locally has been fine).

Hey guys,

I had a friend of mine tell me I need to make some serious edits to my model, and since hes a good friend, I decided to go along with it. Pretty happy with the results. Needs a little more fine tuning then I can go through UVs and baking again. Not much time left!

Hey guys,

still continuing to move forward with this.. redid the lowpoly, redid uvs, redid normal maps. Finally time to start doing something with the diffuse textures

Port-Seven

Any colour on this thing yet?

Blob_monster

I wanna see some textures!

brandoom

Its all in the works my friends

Work faster ya bum

brandoom

Hi,

so I put this together to show my intentions with this model.



The top pieces would spool up, and when the player hits something, they would reset.

brandoom

Alright sweet, done and done!

Thanks to anybody who had a look at my weapon, or gave some feed back

Final model came in at 7494 triangles.

The blue version next to your maps is my favourite of the lot, colour-wise. Great job dude, can't wait to see it in game!
