New shotgun concept
Sat Sep 09, 2006 7:20 pm

  • Uh, I suck at modelling, but I feel the Nexuiz shotgun should look more powerful and less fragile. So I quickly slammed together a concept for a new model.

    Does somebody feel this is going into the right direction?

  • Well, real shotguns are boring, right? ;-)

    I'd say the clip for ammunition is of course untypical for a shotgun - but I'm thinking of a two-barreled bullet-shooting something to replace our current thing.

    Hmmm... only the demo... once.

    Don't remember what that shotgung looked like - but I deduce my design has a few similarities?

  • It looks like it's held with one hand, and that doesn't exactly float my boat. And the idea of a clip is kinda dumb. But yes, the shotgun needs to be redesigned, and, with a little tweaking, that could be my vote for the new one 8)

  • The magazine probably should be curved in the other direction, but it's a very good start.

    Nice work.

  • My opinion says give it another barrel!

    Now, before people yell at me that thats stupid, the way I see it that is the only way to explain the triple burst.

  • That's a really good idea.
    Maybe put it on top/bottom of the other barrels, in the center. That'd look really cool and unique :)

  • SavageX: No, but later in the game your shotty gets an upgrade, that you don't have to reload your sg shells by shells, but in one clip.

    Yeah, the 3 barrels idea is cool! :) But place the third one "under" the others.

  • I think it should be a bit more rifle-like (esp. the handle) and a bit longer and chunkier. And is this a stupid idea, or could a straight clip on top of the barrells work? (Not for realism, but for nice graphics)

  • Well, thanks for the feedback. I'll consider adding another barrel.

    This is my very first weapon model, I doubt that one will actually make it into the game, so this is just to nail down a new direction.

    Hmmm...

    How about two straight clips going down, back, and to the left from the bottom and left barrels and one going up and back from the top of the right barrel. (all these assume you are holding it while looking at it)

  • I like the three barrels idea, but I think it would really look interesting if they were horizontally arranged in one straight line (I mean at the same level, none above or below). Of course this needs a lot of thinking, because it still has to look like a shotgun and not an Electro or something.

  • Wow, that looks great.

    You still might want to flip the magazine around, though.

  • This has a nice style that matches up well to the electro and the new nex gun. It's good to see the shotgun getting replaced, since that is the first gun you see when you start the game, and it was the weakest of the weapon models.

    Now how about ditching that LDA rocket launcher for a new design :D

  • Actually i think the rocketlauncher does a great job. A huge killing machine. It just takes up too much space on the screen :)
    But you are right about the shotgun.. it NEEDS a new model badly and this one looks very good and would be more then just a worthy replacement.

  • This is how it looks ingame at the time being (and how the position and scaling could be improved IMO)

  • Yeah, that shot makes it look scaled smaller than the other guns. Bump it up a notch and it'll be good :)
