Seburo MN-23

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

One of shirow's coolest weapon designs, high poly is just about done and i will be doing a low poly for normal mapping.

EarthQuake, did you post this or another, extremely similar Seburo weapon model on the old forums? I hope so, else I've got some wicked deja vu going on here.

About the model: is that ridge/crease up the center of the handgrip supposed to be there? It seems to me that would be rather uncomfortable on a real gun, as it'd drive right against the palm. I'm assuming it must be that way, since the model looks awesome and very well detailed.

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

Yeah its like that in shirow's design and the airsoft model that its based of off... I agree its a bit wierd too, and yeah i did something similar: http://earthquake.ichian.org/nine.jpg
UnderTow also did this gun too around the same time i did that one but his was a super long rifle type version of it

It's turning out awesomeset!
(if that is a word)

Awesome quake! Are you using Maya?
And what modeling process did you go about this with?

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

Its all sub-d, and its made in lightwave

Scott Ruggels · Mar 2005

Looks okay, but the desig so borrows from the FN p-90. What is the purpose of that knob directly in front of the trigger, inside the trigger guard? it looks, ergonomically to me, that a finger could not get to the trigger properly and may lead to accidental discharges.

Scott: Shirow actually has a gun thats WAY more borrowed from the p90, called "Nine Weapon" in the first ghost in the shell movie. I think that thing is so your thumb on your foreward hand dosent bump the trigger, i actually moved the trigger back a tad cause its even worse in the ref i have, which is an airsoft version of it.

Such a pretty pretty weapon. Where'd you find the airsoft version? I remember an Asian site of conversion kits from animes, but I lost the link.

The Seburo MN-23 One such site you can purchase @. I must say Quake, the detailing is scary. I've seen UT's ver. they come very close to each other. This one however the skinning is somehow more refined. Excellent stuff being a anime fan myself? I have to give you a 6 out of 5 on the craftsmanship of the work.

Steakhouse · Mar 2005

ahh those are pictures of the actual airsoft firearm... he hasnt skinned it yet

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

Right, the last picture is the reference i used for modeling. I still need to add the flip up sites and make a low poly before i can move on to texturing her,

Herr-Maestro · Mar 2005

Heh, My Bad then still for unskinned looks *tight*. (Steakhouse: Dood you look kinda like henry rollins)

phatcat · Mar 2005

Seburo MN-23 (well according to the creator Shirow)
Is the merging of both the FN-p90, and the FAMAS.

FAMAS

FN-P90

BTW, if you want some refrences of some really AWSOME Anime weapons...

oh, and keep up the great work!

Steakhouse · Mar 2005

Herr-Maestro: Hah, I've been described as looking like Freddy Prince Jr. and Elijah Wood as well. I'll tack Mr.Rollins onto the list.
Here's a link to a "better" picture: http://www.afnom.com/darrin/artist.png

Phatcat: Ahh two of my favorite firearms. Trully though whats the Seburo needs is for that back section to be replacable rather then completely linked to the main body of the weapon. A folding stock and the addition of a virtical front grip on the front (past the existning front grip) would allow it to quickly go from being a 300+ meter rifle, to a quite dangerous close quarter's sub-machinegun. Just a thought.

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

Bleh, going pretty slow with the low poly and normals on this, should have been done a long time ago... Anywhere heres the scope with normals weeee. No work has been done on the diffuse yet.
{edit] Something worth noting, if you increase the saturation of your normal maps in photoshop it can give it a nice little extra pop, doom3 does this with its build in renderer.

EarthQuake · Mar 2005

Yay, Uvs and normal generation is done.
