HL2 Sniper Rifle (Updated)

[Jest@]

cheers for comments y'all. Now if only I could a) code, b) UV map, and c) make decent textures....

If you like would like to take a stab a texturing it for you, if you can get it knocked down to a hundred polys. May not look pretty after I get done with but I would still like to try it just for kicks. Email it to me if you like.

Hey there!
Excellent work mate, I wish I could model like this
Anyway, I think that the parts from the trigger to the end of the rifle looks a little detached from the trigger to the butt. The handle and rear parts don't have the same amount of detail that the barrel and the rest do. It seems like two different things :\

But since it is a WIP I guess you might be excused

[Jest@]

Yeah there's gonna be more detail on the butt, a few dips, curves and stuff i havent yet added. But most of the detail will in the end be handled with the skin, i just modelled it on the main rifle cos I could

6 shot rounds?

[Jest@]

yeah probably. depends on the exact situation it'll be used in. Will be pretty similar to the awp all in all. In fact, the original rifle I was working off is pretty much an awp-a-like in real life.

any updates on this?

[Jest@]

lol, did a poly count on it. That high-res eyecandy version wheighs in at an unbelievable 25000 polys (of which the but is about 3/5). I'm currently doing the most painful thing in the world - making it low-poly for the world model. Got it down to 800-odd, gonna trim a bit more then UV map it. Now, the pain begins.... Will post an in-game shot when done. Can't do the in-game viewmodel shot for a while, cos I wanna animate it before I optimise it, which I have to do before I UV and texture it, and animation'll take a while.
