Custom Brute Shot

modelled by Gx shadow, i tweaked the model a bunch and reuv'd some parts, like the handle and stuff, just so I could get better quality out of them, before I skinned it. Well, in between skinning I actually ran into uv problems so fixed em along the way. Though, the handles are pretty low res compared to the rest, just because of uv space. Nothing much I can do about that other than reuvwing that whole section, and making the gun lower res as a whole, to make room. Tis at 1024x1024, Has taken me about 2 days. Enjoy!

thoughts, criticism? btw, it *should* be ingame tommorow, Masterz or someone will post pics.

lighting makes it MUCH better.

I still hate how blocky that handle is.
I'm starting to see a "style" of yours imerging (especially the rough texture on the dark and metal areas)

I like the bayonet much better than bungies as it actually looks like it would cut you instead of thump you.

*sits patiently for ingame pics)

much what?

I showed him a pic of it before with slightly crappier lighting and he said it looked godawful :P

Oh, I forgot to mention Con started skinning it first, he did the blades basic texture, but didn't have the time to continue, whereas I took over from where he started. So yeah, sorry about that, I did about 95 percent of the skin. I improved apon what he allready had they're, darkened it up, sharpened, gradiented, painted more colour into it with some rust and stuff. I would have just restarted the blade, but he did a nice job of its starting texture so I just continued on from there.

Nice model and textures, but would it kill CMT to come up with something original for a change?

I agree lol.

Ah well, I have fun painting, tis enough for me, though I would like to do more original stuff.

Nice! Looks like the H2 model. But the base of the blade needs to be a little bigger tho, but all around great job.

So far it's only the blade that looks CMT-like and the whole top half of the gun looks pretty good.. But it's early days, and that blade looks damn awesome!
Can't wait to see the final model

the brute shot is a tad hard to top as creativity goes. In general, most covie weapons are, but especially the brute shot, so I don't think there are too many new things you can add to it and ratain the whole covie atmosphere.

I like it though, looks nice, maybe it could make it into a Multiplayer map one of these days.

Are you doing Shadow's Beam Rifle, also?
