Schism

[rossmum]

this isn't dead (much unlike my internet)

Seems like Murphy's Law has taken effect with vengeance, but I'm not really discouraged from continuing. I got rootkitted (at FPSB, of all places) and lost some minor stuff, but most of it's alright (the only Schism-related losses were chatlogs of my brainstorming sessions with Snaf, but most of the concrete ideas have since been taken further anyway). My net is up and down constantly and I've yet to reinstall 3DS, but in the meantime I'll see about getting some more concepts drawn up. The fact that a friend got me Stalker for Christmas hasn't really been helping, but I'm temporarily stuck and close to the end of the game, as far as I can tell.

hi,



Looking at CMT's and then at the cover of Ghosts of Onyx, I noticed just how overboard they'd gone (no offence meant, but let's be honest, it bears only a passing resemblance); as far as Snaf and I could tell, the MA5K was no more than a cut-down AR mated to a BR handle and forend (though an AR fore would work as well, the BR one is less bulky and therefore the more sensible choice). The cocking handle would have to be moved to avoid it coming back and shattering the shooter's cheekbone (I want reciprocating handles on the human autos because it looks more interesting if something actually moves), and Snaf immediately suggested a G36 system, which I think works quite well with the 'no space wasted' design philosophy.

Basically, the MA5K can be expected to handle a lot like its bigger brother (again, much unlike CMT's). There will be differences though - a slightly weaker melee and decreased accuracy and control offset by less of an impact on mobility, a slightly upped rate of fire, and the various attachments which may or may not make it onto the rifle (ideally you'd perhaps see a group of four or five guys armed with them, with all different attachments or lack thereof). It'll also be louder, for obvious reasons.

you can still use it, plus it's textured too.

[rossmum]

Do show. I saw an untextured render in the other thread, haven't seen the textures on it though.

Could I model this design when I have time?

We already had a discussion about this gun...

Concept is good, drawing is not . I can make a cleaner, more proportional concept of it if you want.

[rossmum]

It's squashed lengthwise, I know. That's what comes of drawing when I'm half asleep.

You guys can give it a shot if you want, I'll probably redraw and model it myself at some point.

[Hunter]

Could you post the final drawing when finished?

The only part I woudl strugle modelling is the part above the grip, I am guessing the heat emitter. Unless you want it like the normal BR?
