>any universe
Can i do the gunblade? its a gun after all.

>>465818
Yes, Like i mention above it can be any firearm from any universe or time period so you've got a lot of options to explore.

>>465816

Here's one. My favorite rifle in any game, ever.

While I don't model, I figure popping up my favorite weapon of all time might inspire somebody somehow. If somebody made this, I'd be the happiest fucker.

>>465816
>firearms that haven't been model yet
This is literally impossible, firearms are a popular subject for modeling.

>>465833
>literally impossible
it's LITERALLY not impossible.

>>465834
You know what I meant

>>465835
that may be true, but what you meant was still not you said.

>>465835
Then why say "literally" if you mean the opposite?

>>465848
>>465852
holy shit you guys must be fun at parties.

>>465855
I'm not talking to a hot girl at a party, I'm talking to a guy on 4chan who should know better. I mean, they both should, but hos before 4chan bros.

>>465833
Alright, How about we just say your right. Here is an item that has yet to be model. It's called a Savage 1907.

Another one is Bergmann-Bayard Pistol, Type 26 revolver and so on..

Theses are only a few items, but you get the picture? it isn't impossible as there is plenty of material out there.

>All those items are from WW2.

>>465883
Got any other stuff? I'd love to see what has and hasn't been model.

This is my favorite revolver in the world, i hope it inspires you.

>>465902

Favourite revolver in the world? It's a piece of shit autorevolver that falls apart after you fire it a couple times.

>>465816
Awesome! Terminals back. Why haven't you been posting?

Go to

https://www.youtube.com/user/ForgottenWeapons/videos

The channel has many obscure and rare weapons most of which havent been made into 3d models before.

>>465964

I love that channel.

The only issue that 99% of the guns he shows don't have good blueprints.

If you're good/lucky you can screen cap the guns at different positions to get a few decent modelling reference shots. His website has a great gallery of oddball gats at all different angles too.

>http://www.forgottenweapons.com/

If you emailed him and asked for some specific shots I'm sure he's the kind of guy to oblige.

This is my favorite rifle that he's shown, the StG-45(M) Prototype:

>>465914
he never said it was the best, just his fav

>>465816
I think i'll do a AK.

>>465977

That looks like it would be pretty easy to model. I'll give it a shot when I get some time this week.

>>465816
>mfw I have an IBM PC AT sitting next to me

>>466178
Sadly, I'm working my way to that as i have a ton of parts just no case yet.

>>466248
>assembling a 30 year old PC

>>466251

Some people assemble 30 year old cars. What's wrong with making a PC?

>>466251

One day people will sit down next to folks knapping stone spearheads on rawhide and assemble comodores.

>>466251
Alright, I'm buying the parts that are in good condition not parts that are in bad nick. It may take longer but its worth it.

>>465816
>>465977

Here's my attempt at an StG-45(M)

>>466343

>>466344

>>466345

>>466343
>>466344
>>466345
>>466346

I was a little sad to discover that there had already been one modeled but the rifle was just too cool to not give it a go.

>>466343
>>466344
>>466345
>>466346

Pic for reference...

>>466343
Holyshit! Its happening.

>>466345
Great. Now i need to make a model to out do this guy.

>>466388

Competition breeds excellence.

>>466388
Do you have any models in mind? Because i have plenty of stuff i want done.

>>466502
Not that guy, but post some pics. I'm having a hard time finding what to model.

>>466503
Alright, Do you want something simple or hard?

>>466505
Post a little bit of both, or something of medium difficulty.

>>466506
I guess i'll start with hard.
>Doom Plasma Gun
I know how hard it is to find reference sometimes, so i made it for you. Hope it helps.

>>466510
This one has been done though.

>>465902
Do you mind if i hijack this?
>MTR 8 Revolver
I guess i'll make you another reference sheet.

>>466511
Alright, Let's just say i handed you this model? What would you say about it. Personally, I would take a single look at this and tell him or her to do this again.

Why? Because if you look at the reference provided you'll notice that essentially they've created the third person model and not taken anything in relation to the first person views into account.

>>466513
Yeah, but there's also this one that a modder did for Fallout 3. The other one is more like a pixel art.

>>466512
I'm afraid this has been done too, it's on turbosquid even
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-mateba-mtr-8-revolver/857060

>>466506
Alright, Here is your Easy.
>Blanch-Chevallier Grenade Discharger
I'm sorry had to save this out as a JPG.

>>466516
Thanks, I think I'll make this one.

>>466517
I had a feeling you would, Its got a nice shape to it.

>>466515
>>466515
I mean its your choice, I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want i'm only presenting possible options that you may explore in your own time.

In relation to the MTR. In my opinion i don't think thats a major problem because its a single person. I'd be worried if you had like a dozen people selling this weapon model but again its a single person and as a result you don't have much competition as they've set their level quality and you've only got to go higher to out match them.

Wow, Your even doing reference sheets for people?

>>465883
his anyone moddelled those 3d-printed guns yet? they are pretty new and dont look impressive. you might be the first ot do it.

>>466644
I don't think you would need much experience as literally a gun is a bullet and a tube. If you can somehow trigger the prima you've got yourself a gun.

But 3D printing is better used for Zbrush sculpts.

>>466644
I printed some covers for a friends paintball gun but not an actual gun, made it into a assault rifle from mass effect.

>>466510
Could someone make this? It looks awesome.

>>466837
Nah, I think we will stick with stuff that isn't hard as fuck to make.

>>466912

How the hell is that hard to make?

Seriously?

>>466516
Finished the high poly, still don't know if I'm gonna make the low poly.
I might have made some mistakes, because even though the references you found were pretty good, I wish there were some more different angles. But I guess this is the downside of making extremely obscure weapons.

>>466921
Holyhell this thread is awesome.

>>466921
Alright, That is some great work you've got there. I think the only minor point is that your receiver? its the part just above the trigger is slightly shorter however that is the only flaw that i can see.

>>467015
>>467016
Thanks guys!

About the receiver thing, I lined up the model with the references to get the proportions right, so due to perspective distortion it might have ended up a little weird.

>>467032
I'd say that would explain it then, regardless its good work if you want another reference sheet just say so.

>>466510
If you can find photos of it, the gun is basically a photograph of the muzzle of a 1980s toy dart "m60" machine gun. There was a rambo variant too which was just black in colour.

>>467111
I'll just leave this here.

>>467113
Holy shiet. So that's what they did.

>>467118
Lots of them were digitalized, some painted. I asked John Romero about it a while ago;

Chainsaw - McCulloch Eager Beaver

Fist - Kevin Clouds abnormally hairy/manly Arms

Pistol - Orange beretta water pistol (painted black)

Shotgun (pictured - Tootsietoy Dakota cap shotgun

Double shotgun - Painted

Chaingun - Couldn't remember - toy?

Rocket Launcher - Painted

Plasma Rifle - Toy M60 front

BFG 9000 - Transformers toy (unsure of which one).

>>467113

>>467123
I didn't know that, however the question stands.
>Will someone make an accurate version from these real world images and the game sprites?

>>467123
Googled on the eager beaver chainsaw and found Romero had posted some images here, unrelated to TT but some interesting stuff nonetheless.
Didn't know the enemies in doom where based on sculpts they 'scanned' using cameras.

>>467123
>Painted
Do you have any pictures of the painted concepts?

>>467118
This is an art dump of doom stuff (including photos of the models they digitised to create ingame assets/characters etc) that John Romero put up on the 21st anniversary of DOOM, you will most likely enjoy it as I did.

>>467319
Very nice stuff anon, thanks for sharing, this image of them working out the walk cycle for the pinky demon just put a smile on my face.
Such a good solution, gotta love that ad hoc 'school project' feel.

>>467319
Your link is broken.

Will we ever do a challenge to make game content?

>>467422

nope.

>>467387
Just tried it again, it's not - you're typing it wrong. Don't miss the s between the two forward slashes

>>467321
Yeah I absolutely love it, just thinking that these guys, using these hack job methods, ended up making one of the greatest and most influential games of all time makes me feel like anything is possible!

I don't really see why he couldn't of green text the link in the first place.

>>467557
>>467564
Thanks man, Very useful stuff.

>>467617
I actually didn't think you could post links on this board for some reason, evidently you can

>>465816
Alright, Gentlemen i'm going to give you about two weeks from today as in we will wrap this up then.

I wonder what the topic should be?

I think i will try and make this.

>>468708
Awesome! That is a nice gun.
>Here is a reference sheet.

MP7 Prototype 2nd.

Here is another reference sheet.
>To my knowledge it hasn't been made in any shape or form.

ArmBrust Grenade Launcher.

>>468713
Just entered /3/ and saw this great thread... I think I'm gonna do this one

>>468715

A good stater piece, if you're new to modelling.

Go for it!

>>468715
I'm glad you like the reference sheet and i look forward to your work!

>>467257
Toy scan for DOOM Chaingun, 1993.

I can't see any resemblance, but it's direct from John Romero himself.

>>467235
I made the Tootsietoy Dakota (Shotgun)>

If anyone wants reference photos of the real thing, I have two of them, found them on ebay a while ago and could take plenty of photos.

Also found the DOOM Plasma Rifle recently, waiting for it to arrive.

>>468928
>>468929
I'd love to see more of this reference!

>>468929
Ha! TF2.

>>469177
That is in TF2?

do you guys make weapon models in 2d editor into 3d or you just mesh shapes

Alright!

I think its time to wrap up this Challenge, unless you guys want an extension?

If not please feel free to suggest another topic.

>>469554
We make models in 3D Editors, Programs like Maya, Max and ZBrush.

You'll start with a reference image in most cases then just import it into your scene and start blocking out the form with a primitive after which you'll begin to do the more detail and so on.. until you've got a complete model.

It can take anywhere from 2 hours to a week depending what your doing and how good you are.
