Low Poly GunBlade

Cyph3r

Hey all, I made a low poly GunBlade for practise, whipped up the model in like 20 minutes, unwrap took like 30, and I need help with texturing it, I really don't know how to go about texturing the blade and the metal of the gun and the handle. Can someone help me out with that?

Where does the bullet come out?

I have no idea, it's not my design (it's from Final Fantasy VIII) =P

use some fake reflection shapes to start ( bands of colour for a cylinder, wide bands at jaunty angle for flat, vanishing point for cone etc), if this is diffuse only, then just start warping them over the shape, finally tighten up using hand painting.

I did a google search of the gunblade and found about a million different variation, some have a barrel along the side of the sword while others have it on top like this.



I think it would really help if you added a barrle somewhere, help it pop a bit more.

It doesn't use bullets, it's firing blanks, it sends a "shockwave" down the blade when you trigger it. Yeah, pretty rediculous but that's how Square designed it.

:thumbup: It was fun to press R1 exactly when you hit the enemy to fire it and get extra damage.

The designs may look different because there are several throughout the game.

Wow I'm shit. Any advice?

No offence; but that's the silliest incarnation of a gunblade I've ever seen. The design never sported a barrel. There is also flying military schools in this universe; some suspension of disbelief is required

Nice model. I also find texturing difficult...just keep at it! Use some photo-sources texturing to get you on your way. This could be a nice PSP spec weapon.

ericdigital

none taken. I've never played the game and that's what a google search came up with. Figured it was worth showing. The thought of a gun shooting deadly vibrations just did not cross my mind.

Andreas

Yeah, coincidentally I am playing through this again on my PSP and no explanation is given...I think they had to come up with that vibration thing years later. You should play it, its my favourite game of all time. Theres even a PC version.
