Hi guys!

This gun has the powers of hell!

Charged with frost souls on the top and concentrated magma in the bottom.

This baby with delivers pure satanic overkill, pain, torment, misery and so on..

This is different, i like it. Does a flame shoot out the mouth?

Love the concept. nice touch with the upside down cross, also nice way to work in a bunch of organic on a mechanical object

Sweet concept!

Carl Brannstrom · Jun 2008

Thanks for the comments guys!

@Struve
Yes. Or I had actually something else in mind. Instead of fire I was thinking of lava, napalm or something. Liquid heat.

I have started on the high poly but still in an early stage. I'll push the detail. I have to make the pattern more dense as well.
I'm not sure whats best, to make the pattern with splines (like now) or should I make it in photoshop later?

Anyway, this is what it looks like right now:

Very cool, the only thing I noticed was the grip might be too close to the gun due to the spikes near the grip. seems like it can be painful. I really light the colors as well.

I'm worried that this is just going to turn into a mess of noise when you look at in FPV.

yeah i'm wondering if all those details will just blend in together and look like a huge mess. Only time will tell I suppose.

Carl Brannstrom · Jun 2008

I checked it and it actually looks fine in 1152x864. The cross hatch behind the skull is a mess though.
But its easily fixed.

I'll have this in mind when making the textures. If necessary, I can probably fix it with the photoshop filter. Hopefully not

EarthQuake · Jun 2008

Well one thing to keep in mind is that when you render out normals for this stuff, you'll lose the real parrallax of having the actual highres geometry there, which will flaten everything out more and it make it sort of just blend together as one large mass, well thats what i imagine atleast =P should be interesting to see how it looks, can you post a fpv shot?

I think it might turn out well when coloring. What do you think?

Should I start over with the front parts?

Japhir · Jun 2008

very cool! maybe it's a bit flat in fpv, but the side view looks awesome. oh, and baking it to a planar map makes it look weird

Carl Brannstrom · Jun 2008

Thank you Sage and Japhir!

I guess I'm done. Not really satisfied about the results.I had to rush with the textures since I have to start on another project.
I at least got finished hehe.

But it was fun

EarthQuake · Jun 2008

Hey congrats on finishing man! If you had some more time you could push the texture a lot further. Oh well, you've gotten farther than most people so you should feel good about that even if you're not entirely happy with the result.

I think you copied your spec twice there instead of including the diffuse?

Sage · Jun 2008

Pretty cool.

Carl Brannstrom · Jun 2008

Thanks guys!

I fixed the maps now

AsylumSeaker · Jun 2008

I think the tank on the underside really needs some love. Right now it looks like a super soaker.

Racer445 · Jun 2008

I agree, it looks too flat right now. You should add some engraved bits or something similar to fit the rest of the theme.
