[QUOTE=kwant111;40249011]Not entirely true, i don't really want to make a debate out of this but its mostly the small details that make a model "just perfect".
On top of that, i did my smg that way and all my other models, and the effect was surprisingly good. You can see a very clear difference.
Though it also depends on what program you use as the 3ds max projection tool makes imo better bakes by default instead of a program like Xnormal.
And really, i dont like to see a model of a holosight with those rounded edges.. i'd probably call it a bad normal bake.
Its supposed to have flat sides [t]http://hurricane-airsoft.com/shop/images/detailed/0/Hurricane_552_Holo.png[/t][/QUOTE]
Honestly I still wish we kept the original HK PDW reflex sight instead of making it another generic EOTech that I've seen 5000 times already in every modern game and gun mod ever.

What about a Zeiss Z-Point? Those look good on the MP7

I prefer the one in the picture, I don't know what it's called though. I love it's minimalistic nature, it looks like it was designed to be functional and compact, just like the gun it was designed to sit atop.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;40250593]Having an AK that was originally going to be in HL2 = extreme revamp hardcore edition, but adding another cut weapon and a weapon from the previous game isn't? It would just be a 30 round version of the MP7 with different ammo, higher damage, and no launcher[/quote]
There's the thing, if it's just gonna be that similar to an already existing weapon, but with less features, what's the point of even adding it? That's why I chose the Tau Cannon, it's already in the HL2 story, and it's quite different from the existing weapons. Plus ammo source is not a problem, we can come up with some other way to power the thing. You'd think in 20 years someone would've upgraded it to use some more obtainable resource, wouldn't you?

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;40251200]Tau could draw power from batteries and chargers.[/QUOTE]
True. Remember, the Tau Cannon from HL1 was a prototype, and HL2 picks up 20 years later. If Resistance members like Kleiner were able to get the HEV suit working with Combine chargers and whatnot in all that time, what would have stopped them from doing something similar with the Tau Cannon?

Alright, Poll time you guys.
I'm gonna try to redo a lot of foliage and add some more stuff and rocks and whatnot.
As for the organic sections (coast/canals), do you guys want Realistic Terrain like Dear Esther (keeping the texture style and lighting the same as well), Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img]
[t]http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/545807-dear-esther-windows-screenshot-walking-down-the-path-close.jpg[/t]
Or basically just a better terrain, but not much of an overhaul (more rocks and trees, but general shape of the terrain stays the same) Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img]
I like the realistic terrain idea, but I don't want it changed too much. Just keep in mind that the area we spend a lot of our time driving on was covered in 10 meters of water 20 years ago. That beach looks like.. well a beach, while in the coast, the beach we follow was mostly underwater before.

It's so easy to forget these little facts
Do you guys want a better headcrab??
[IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/30di87s.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/1o3zfr.jpg[/IMG]
Would it be possible to have 2 headcrab skins? One with blood, seen in the wild mostly. And one without blood, coming out of Headcrab Cannisters, also Lamarr.
[B]About the player-weld Tau Cannon, here's some of my own thoughts about it:[/B]
It should not be acquired at Lighthouse Point.
You should find it in Kleiner's lab when you return there at the end of Entanglement. It could perhaps be seen inside a half-closed or half-transparent crate/container in Red Letter Day, and when you return, that crate would be open and the weapon could be picked up.
As for its ammunition source, why not use the hivehand/shockroach recharging-mechanic?
Basically, give it a supply of 12 ammunition. Every primary fire shot would expend 2 shots, as in HL1. The weapon would recharge at the rate of, say, 1 ammo per second. Whenever the player is charging up the weapon with the secondary fire (the max charge-up being 12), the recharging would not occur.
In order to not make the weapon too powerful, perhaps holding down the weapon reload key should be required for the re-charging process (playtesting will tell).
have him crank a little thing to recharge it or something?
[QUOTE=MrBunneh;40253494]have him crank a little thing to recharge it or something?[/QUOTE]
I wonder if that could be done in the Source engine, something like the battery charger in Metro 2033

the suppressor is missing
not that big of a deal though
the barrel and the struts are clearly twice the length :v:
I don't like very much the original AR version, I prefer the SMG and the Pistol version. Is shorter and the barrel and the struts doesnt appear magically from the gun...

Another WIP of the revolver highpoly. The Cylinder is the most unfinished part, as you can probably see there's only one notch in it.

hey could I dibs the grenade now? just to let you guys know.
[QUOTE=MrBunneh;40253494]have him crank a little thing to recharge it or something?[/QUOTE]
What about using the suit's power to recharge it? Either have a powerful weapon or charged armour. Of course if you have no suit power it'd be useless.

THANK YOU! Finally a nice high poly revolver worldmodel. I was quite surprised when Valve themselves decided not to make a new worldmodel, just a new material for it. It's about damn time this happened.
I wonder...sorry for not knowing shit about it, but if cubemapping is a shader, could it be modified? you could make the cubemap move by player movement and make it look sightly better, and make a fading transition between each cubemap, instead of instantly switching to the nearest. is this possible and have I expressed myself in an understandable way?

AFAIK, cubemaps change with the maps or groups of maps in the same environment. IDK if reflection is considered a shader in source, because cubemaps are for when a material is reflective, such as the magnum. That sort of stuff isn't entirely my area of expertise, so excuse me if my answer is shit.
