You haven't played Quake4, have you

Random comment: QUAKE 4 IS THE BEST

Real comment: I see what ya mean. I hate the current shotgun.

IMO the bigger issue isn't the shotgun, its the shells. What an ugly model

Well as soon as the team gets more modelers those issues will be resolved but as you might have seen following the forum thats not that easy. And it seems Savage jumped forth and learned some modeling so thats very cool and if people like his shotgun he might be forced into making new shells too

I'm studying for a 3D artist and I have already made some nice things. But the thing is, I'm a high detail modeler and animator (mostly movies). I don't know that much about low poly modeling such as for games. That's the only thing that's stopping me from redoing the models of the players too.

Nice cannon
Well maybe we can collect a list of tutorials and other useful stuff for modelers.. It seems Savage and Morphed and the guys (do not know who..) doing models for zymotic can help with those infos the most.

If they could that would be cool. I actually joined the nex community (and looking at other projects suchs as Zymotic and Alaris) cause I wanted to take a look at the models for the game and maybe redo them (it was morfar that actually introduced me to this community), but the lack of game modeling stopped me. So I became a good player instead just so I could kick morf's ass

On projectalaris we have a modeler, Inzomnia, with preddy mutch the same background as ai, highpoly/animation stuff. He adapted to lowpoly faily quick and did some real nice stuff. Unfortunatly hes unavaiable atm so i cant realy ask recources to recommend. HOwever considering the proccess went so fast i doubt its mutch more then plowing down a few tutorials.

A few samples of Inzomnia work for alaris.

Nice guns.. Well it would be really cool to get either him or someone else to post a nice list of tutorials and helpful stuff.

I have an additional idea about that shotgun concept. If that model is going to be used in the future then I think redoing that shotgun sound would be necessary too. IMO the sounds that are now wouldn't fit with that, they would need to be a bit more "heavier" or what the word can be, more powerful.

And btw, who did those textures on those guns? Morphed?

The same can also be said about the mg sounds, but I've been complaining about those forever

MG sounds are so much worse. In fact, IMO the model needs to be made more bad-ass.

As soon as someone gets hold of a person that can do sounds professionally he is welcome to force that person to create some sounds for Nexuiz Unless we have such a person Nexuiz will hardly get new sounds..

I think the rocket launcher should be re-designed. It looks boring, and not as good as the others. Mabie have it look like one of the sniper rifles from halo 2 except in rocket launcher form?

I for one like the rocketlauncher very much.. maybe its just the look of pure power but it looks like it can deal the damage it does

Put a sniperscope on it xD

Shotgun or Rocketlauncher? What for?

Rocketlauncer, it would look awsome! Just image, a sniperscope on top of that huge slow weapon.

Hehe i doubt that will work out funny idea though..

This is the shotgun that was used in the game right?

I think it looks a lot better in the pictures than in the game. You can't see enough of the model. It needs scaling up, bringing forward, or some hands putting on it or something. And a more powerful looking firing animation. Still, cool model though.
