Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Don't be afraid, it's not dead, just hibernating until blowfish does some pipes for me, seems as how I can't quite use the follow me tool correctly  ;)

Edit: Ammo belt would be a little wierd, but a magazine could work I suppose. And Galemp, railguns shoot projectiles, as do coilguns, and convetional guns.

Because you have a dirty mind.

The Harbinger and Stiletto tech and in-game models are now done!

That's one kickass harbinger. The stilleto looks a bit wierd to me for some reason though...

The harbringer on the top pf the stilleto looks slightly out of place.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
The Stiletto has some weird perspective on it from the camera being so close, maybe it's just that. Also I can't remember whether or not those little wiry things on the sides of the front part are in the original. Looks nice, although the fins look a little plain (which is probably realistic, since fins should be smooth and almost flat), and the wiry things could do with some experimentation.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Yeah, sorry about the perspective there. It gets really weird when the pivot is at the very end of a model.

These are done in orthographic mode, and should look better. As for the Harbinger on the nose... it's always been there. Ditto for the Harbinger engines on the back.

The question is... which came first?

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
There's nothing wrong with perspective, but what FOV is it using?

The Harby seems fine. The Stiletto still looks ... weird. No idea why.

I just realized that the Stiletto looks like a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).  Its got that double-cone-shaped front end section, slim body, and forward swept stabilizing fins.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Also, why is the stilleto longer than the harb... I think you should upsize the harb or downsize the stilleto for realisms sake

That's it. That's why it looked so weird.

They're just screenshots taken with PCS. Those aren't to the same scale, and I don't know what FOV PCS uses.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Here's a request for help. Does anyone have experience in doing in-game weapon effects, such as those seen in the MVPs? I'd like to see some proposals for the FS1 primary weapons with the new particles, animated effects and impact effects.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Can't you just make a mishmash of the mediavp weapon effects? Modify them enough to get them look like high quality FS1 weaps, just using the mediavp effects. If you edit enough, they won't look like the FS2 versions.

In other words- simply use mediavp effects. Would save time, and still look good.

Do you see a white laser in the MVPs? :P
