Brute Shot

Some of you older members may remember that I was working on a bunch of Halo 2 weapons a while back(around when Halo 2 came out). I started work on the brute shot, beam rifle, and the carbine, but stopped due to a lack of free time and other projects. They have been collecting dust on my external hard drive, virtually untouched, but during the Sunday night, I picked up where I left off and finished today during school.

And before any of you new members start accusing me of ripping the model from Halo 2, keep in mind that I started work on it long before the Halo 2 extractor was even created.

The model along with its four grenade clip total 1070 faces(if I really feel like it I can lower it a bit more, but my free time is quite limited lately). Without further adieu, here are the renders:

Thanks guys, and ya, I need someone to skin it. Preferably Lightning or Scooby :)

Pretty cool... a little more in the way of detail couldn't hurt, but as it is, it's still good.

Did you make sure to model it so that when it's animated, the [insert whatever the Brutes use in place of a conventional bolt here] springs open on reload so you can load the grenades in M1 style? :p

I didn't do that yet cause I couldn't find any refs of it reloading. Once I look at it reloading, I don't see it takign more than 5 mins to model it so the reload animation looks good.

Basically the top section seems to lock forwards like a reversed pistol slide, exposing the chamber. The grenades are lowered in on a belt, and the handle is jerked back, closing the 'bolt' and cocking the weapon.

Tehehehehehe you said 'cock'!

Mind in the gutter :P
