SRPMW model
« on: February 10, 2008, 06:45:52 pm »
I've been toying with Wings 3D editor and tried to model that rocket carbine of mine. Its my first try in game modelling, once I get master the editor and learn to make textures, I might even try something more useful later :)

Here's a variant with a box magazine (138 faces, 174 vertices):



The same with a drum feed (148 faces, 194 vertices):


I haven't learn texturing yet. All sort of feedback is welcome!

I think it's nice, but we have too many human weapons already. Maybe you can form it to be more alien like? Not only texture, but also shape. Alien rocketlauncher would be nice addition, I think! Especially if shots can be previously controlled like Distruptor Pulse Launcher in Terror from Deep or one weapon in Apocalypse. Such longer range grenade launcher with capability to shot some degrees behind edge with using two or three waypoints shooting.

Thanks for feedback!

Well, I was more about "wow, I can draw 3D models" than "you MUST include that model in the game" :) I would like to hear if there are any faults in modelling, level of detail, weapon layout with the regard to functionality, ergonomics and such. Sort of info I could use in future.

And I think alien weapons are best designed from sratch rather than make human weapons look alienish. I could look into alien launcher, though I am a bit unsure how it would look like :)

it looks very nice imo - which would be the license you would release your models/art under? gpl or cc? it would be nice if you could submit models like this - even if it's not used in the game because it doesn't fit the storyline it might be the base model for another weapon.

Thanks for encouragement! I'll try to provide more.

Well, I tried to read info on licenses, but still a bit confused about license. If I state that my models or any parts of them could be used, modified, meditated at for inspiration or utilised an any other way - is that a GPL license? How should I denote it - by putting a model somewhere on the web along with readme.txt with text provided in Wiki? Or by just saying "I choose GPL"?

That. And you don't complain if someone else uses it for whatever, as long as it remains GPL.

Okay, I choose GPL then! Feel free to use it in any way you like, I wont complain :)

Here are models in .wings format, can save them in .obj or .3ds if needed.

Real name is Alexander Kusakin.

I did try to put that on sourceforge and created an account there, but failed to find appropriate section. Thanks for the link, I am new to open-source things!
