Marteer Rifle Ballistic X Edition 74 Beta Model

Post by Strider Vega Core »

The Current model for the MRBX74... (3010 polys)

Current Details and parts: Rotating Electro Coils on barrel, Safety switch, light switch, clip eject button, butt screw indent, rear outward extended plate, midway circuitry coolant vents, forward barrel exposing slits, more curved areas, and The MR Shield.

Details and parts not yet added: Popout Gun Status Screens, exposed circuitry areas, the clip, the trigger, the flashlight, the optical zoom camera lense with pinpoint laser and zooming buttons, the grenade launcher attachment rod, and the grenade launcher itself.

Specs:

The MRBX74 is a type of coil gun with the ability to melt 6 MR rounds together to form an armor piercing round.

The Electro Magnetic Field used to both propel the bullet also gives each bullet an electrical enhancement which can cause a target to be hindered in movement and can do more damage than the AR and PR combined.

The sniper rounds cause an instant kill to infantry units and a scorpion tank can take 5 hits before the driver is killed.

Rounds from the MRBX will cause an electrical surge on metal of any kind.

Shooting the Marteer Rifle under water is lethal to anyone within a 2 world unit vicinity... Including the user... *Notes the Quake 1 Lightning Gun's instagib of everything when shot underwater.* Similar effect.

it is ugly. also, marteer? what is this word? gb2gradeschool l2spell.

also, your method for producing an AP round is unconvincing and well... laughable. the proportions seem really off. also, please add lighting to your renders and note clipping. no need to pose it with a biped...

Were you expecting a "cute" gun snaf? XD j/k, and heh, I kinda fixed a history for the gun in the halo universe...
Richard Garabaldy Marteer... invented a way to make compact, carriable coilguns and field tested them himself in 2474.
But yeah... I see what you mean... and the biped posing was just because I felt like screwin around a lil.

The ugly parts seem to fly around the MR Shield and the Barrel Extension, which I will be taking off and remaking.

I am not good at making up tech specs as you can see... but at least I didn't completely derail.

What I can say about the tags though... noobs will be putting down the noob tube for this lil guy. lol

Wireframe shows nastys, but I can't really complain about the gun. As much as I want to hop on the flame wagon thats sure to come, I really really do it.

What is wrong with this gun? I particularly think it looks very nice. On the other hand, other mods like race tracks and other boxy maps which everyone else thinks are the best thing in the world are pieces of worthless $hit! For those who bash it, why not challenge him by making a better gun. Don't bash it if you can't do any better. I can't play the guitar that well, but I can sure as F uck write better death metal lyrics than other bands out there.

The people that are bashing him can model much better than that.

Edit:

Holy crap, what is with the obvious use of boolean and not fixing the triangulation?

Wireframe is pretty messy. And I was about to say too, that it looks like it was inspired from a tavor. It's also disproportionate. The top is strangely thicker then the handle and foregrips. Front sight looks rediculous. I mean a pyramid? Cmon. You also have what appears to be 4 screens around the rear sight area. I can't honestly see it needing that many. The detail seems random, and put there as an excuse for not know what a gun needs to function and features it could/should have. You've got some poly-wastage on some bits too. Fix all that up and then post your improvement.

Also killgore333, you don't know what you're talking about. A lot of the people who have posted in this thread exceed the skills in 3d modelling that strider has.

Heheh. Baldy.
Garibaldi is an Italian name, and ends in an 'i', and Marteer [afaik] isn't a name in any language. Also, welcome to 2007.

Yeah, what do you know about 2474? The name doesn't matter, I've heard weirder ones before. Anyways, the model looks ok by my standards except the front sight needs to go, and the scope/screen thing needs to be smaller. Otherwise, I couldn't care less about your technique, so the model is pretty good.
Your sig can't exceed 500x120 and 75kb in file size.

Kinda looks like a harpoon gun from the first pic.

Barrel really needs a lot of work. I would also suggest getting rid of a few screens located on the top side.

Redoing the firing rate mechanism would also help. (I'm guessing that is what the knob above the handle is.)

Also the grip located under the barrel looks a little to blocky. Try to round this puppy off and make it a little more convenient for the person holding it. Think about if you were using this gun. you would probably impale yourself with this thing before you ever got a shot near your enemy.

Never under any cicrcumstances use boolean cause it will send your model to hell and back! It seems you don't have enought detail towards the back of the gun. What type of modeling do you do anyway just out of curiosity? I commend you for your effort on the gun however.

I fail to see effort in this gun.
