hmmm I think it would have been a good idea to discuss these models here in the forum during the creation process... the models do look nice, but somehow they are quite similar to each other (except for the electro). Might be difficult to identify properly from a distance.

To me, the shotgun should be somewhat slimmer, though I do like the approach. But I think it shouldn't be such a heavy-looking, huge blaster-like thing.

The hagar reminds me a lot of the UT rocket launcher...

Maybe if the shoulder thingy gets removed from some of these weapons, they would already be more distinguishable?

All in all they look quite professional and well-crafted. I am sure people learn to tell which is which even from a distance with a little practice.


EDIT: Aww forget it. Just have been looking at them again and I actually like them all. Nice job!

Which is exactly what morphed wanted to avoid.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

@Div:
Well, I cannot speak for Morphed or other artists. But as I see it, only one person is able to create new player models and that is Morphed. Sure, I could easily create player models but with no way of knowing how to export these and convert these into zym. I have tried bones with animations before and failed.
However I do hope to learn it with Ivan's model Nexus as soon as other projects get out of my way.

Besides, I don't really know which models are the worst. I am though getting rid of the worst from my point of view, which was the flags, those ammoes and now dom points and runes, and also because they are easier to do than playermodels. So all in good time, I just need more experience and knowledge in that area.

And on the topic way. I love the new Hagar, it looks really good and different from the other ones. It kinda looks like an alien design which I love. Nexuiz needs more alien designed weapons which is why I like the Crylink as well.

I agree with halogene

Electro: very nice and can be identified quickly

Mortar: very nice too, but the shoulder thingy is strange. Maybe if it gets removed it looks more like the old mortar and is better distinguishable

Shotgun: best weapon, but it simply doesn't look like a shotgun :? more like a mini rocketlauncher / hagar thingie

Hagar: very alienlike, but somehow not my taste

"Fish" is actually the pattern I saved in my brain to identify the weapon in the future.

I like this idea. Could anyone remodel the grenades to little fishes? Secondary fire would then allow them to bounce and wriggle around a bit just like real live fish before detonating at last.

I am liking this model more and more.

These models look really nice, I fell totally in love with electro. This newest version of camping rifle looks very nice too, but I still dont get, what is that yellow thingie doing at its end of the model? It attracts attention too much, and look like a sticker, it really should be removed imo.
Lol I didnt know what hagar reminded me, but you pointed it out: its the UT rocketlauncher! :P Anyways, looks really neat.
The shotgun with this design looks to be rather an accurate weapon, than a close range one i think, but maybe it just takes time to get used to.
Me neither like the new mortar, i also think it should be somewhat more detailed, and its just erm... too fat :D Fish? Yeah, its like a giant carp ^^
