[WIP] Sidearm thingy

I srsly love everything about this thing.

I agree with Hunter, It looks like the handle is really skinny at the bottom and is just sitting on top of the bottom part. The handle doesn't really flow into the bottom part well. I think it looks ok like it is now, but it might look better the way Dane drew it.

actually... I think the handle flows just fine into the bottom part, but the practicality of it getting skinnier doesnt make sense since its the main section holding the barrel (w/e u'd call it in this case) of the gun to the handle/trigger. Needs to appear stronger imo.

I also agree, I like the new top additions, but it needs something else still on the top like was stated.

Other than that, its approaching Maximum :awesome:

So yeah, who gets to texture this thing? Don't think were gonna let you get away with making an amazing new gun then not put it ingame. ;-p

Nice work man.

E: actually I think u could get away with leaving the top the way it is now, its really up to you at this point, the question is are you happy with how it looks. This is what my art teacher from highschool always used to put me through, but I think thats just because she knew I'd tend to be hard on my self and don't like to leave something alone if it bothers me in anyway. (basically I'll keep adding/gettin rid of stuff until I die or it looks "right" to me).

I think Dane said he wanted to texture it.

have fun unwrapping it in a way thats actually USABLE

Part of it still don't feel "right" to me but alot of me wishes this was a phisical clay model so I wouldn't be limited by poly flow & all these other little things.
But I am increasingly happy with it.

And I make no promises about a lowpoly version or a textured version, cause even with as much as I like that idea, there are other projects that are of higher priority.

so, with that said... pics

[edit]Yeah tweek, I wouldn't even try to unwrap this, I'd make a lower poly version and uv that if I ever got around to it that is.

Winner of sexiest gun '08.

From a certain angle, it looks like an awesome Megaman arm cannon of sorts.

I still think its the bottom of the handle....

Ok, well since it's the 1st now I'll declare this done and here's some final renders
