Bullets aren't ferrous.
Also, looking good, Dane - we should brainstorm some ideas for our own custom weapons, maybe

YOINK! update time. I took some time today and finished unwrapping the main gun. I was then able to bake the normals to the gun, and even though there are still errors on the normal map, its looking damn good.
After i finish cleaning up some of the more time consuming things to fix in PS by messing with the low res cage a bit, im going to render the normal map at 4096x4096. It comes without AA, so when i scale it down it should also blend some of the edges a bit. For everything else, i can fix it up in PS.
Dano, ready to skin this puppy?
Yes sir
The location of the magazine makes it look like it'd have a really low capacity, with the caliber it appears to be, and fire through a submachine-gun like length of barrel, the stock looks like it would collapse right into the firing mechanism, and the rail still doesn't look like it can hold shit. Also, not entirely fond of the pattern on the barrel. Am I the only one who doesn't really like this thing?

lol silly nub. The bullets do not go straight up, they go back, loop around INTO the firing mechanism, and then are chambered and fired, with cartridges being expelled from the side. The stock does not fully collapse into the weapon as that would be silly, but can be adjusted for different users, or if you're rambo, easier one handed use.The location of the magazine makes it look like it'd have a really low capacity, with the caliber it appears to be, and fire through a submachine-gun like length of barrel, the stock looks like it would collapse right into the firing mechanism, and the rail still doesn't look like it can hold shit.

Do you really doubt the power of magnets? my dad has some twist knob magnets that are holding 200 lbs of overstacked wood against a wall. He trusts those magnets so much that he parks his acura TL in front of it.
And im glad you're not fond of the 'pattern' on the barrel, it shows im doing my job at creating something original.
I demand an internal animation of how the rounds looping back works!
As in P90 style?
Wow, hostile much? Magnets, okay. They'd better be neodymium, because neodymium is awesome. The cartridge feed system sounds a bit farfetched, but hey, look at the P-90 or the SMG from Halo 2! The adjustable bit of the length of the stock still appears as if it would go straight into the firing mechanism if shortened to the end of the ticks on the side. Also, my comment about the barrel is my own aesthetic opinion. Doesn't matter if it's original or not, I don't have to like it.
Diffuse, Bump and Spec
sup Halo 3-ish
Well, personally all the forerunner stuff is the same sort of style, it all uses the same kinds of lines and same angles into each other, but I think the style evolves as the civilization grows. Just like we have Egyptian and all that, they had different styles of that stuff. Realistically, it's not all forerunner style. Forerunners are just the race that we call them. Back in those days in the halo story line, that style would have had a specific name, to the forerunners, maybe different clans or time periods. Who knows. The halo 3 stuff looks like a more recent forerunner style.
