GRIM-HITMAN 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm new to weapons modding and have basically stuck to modifying existing weapons from other mods. I was wondering if anyone has made the Barrett XM109 25mm rifle. I don't have the skills or tools to make the weapon model or skin myself so if anyone knows if its out there or could give me some help I would appreciate it. Thanks, GRIM-HITMAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 If your referring to the 'Payload' rifle buddy........I've made one and am working on the ballistics for the HE round Will update you asap when its ready Laters DVS1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM-HITMAN 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yes, the Barrett payload rifle is the one I am refering to. If you could keep me aprised I would appreciate it. Thanks, GRIM-HITMAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blakarion. 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 @GRIT _HITMAN : I am also in the same position ref new weapons, and I asked my good m8 =MM= Shadow for the Payload rifle. He has modified a Barraett M82, to look like the Xm109 - looks good to me, and Ive sorted out the projectile etc already. Obviously DSV-1's model will be purpose made and will look better but if DSV-1 is delayed m8, I will ask Shad if he will let u have it m8. @DSV-1, dont mean to jump in m8, just offering help if needed. Also, did u ever have a stab at the 'new' look M29 OICE Model ??? (See http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18083) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM-HITMAN 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 If it is not a problem I wouldn't mind the help blakarion. thanks. When DVS 1 finishes his I can then take a look and use whichever is better. Either way right now I have no modelling skills or software and would really like to see this gun in the game. Thanks, GRIM-HITMAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxe 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 This is my shot of the XM, don't think it's gonna make to GR. Ultra high polycount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Lovely model there Jaxe!!!! Here's my attempt so far, the Unertl scope requires texturing and I'm not happy about some of the textures parts so will re-do some of them etc but pretty much finnito and.... Feedback good and bad taken guys Laters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxe 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Nice model too DVS.. If you need some extra textures, jus msg. Any nice tips to reduce my poly's , and still keep it as smooth as it is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Lovely model there Jaxe!!!! Here's my attempt so far, the Unertl scope requires texturing and I'm not happy about some of the textures parts so will re-do some of them etc but pretty much finnito http://homepage.ntlworld.com/vdickson/Payload1.gif and.... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/vdickson/Payload2.gif Feedback good and bad taken guys Laters some constructive feedback, dvs1: the "lines" on the magazine texture are facing in a wrong direction. they should be 0° vertical, like here: http://www.firearmsmod.com/weapons/m82.jpg http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/sws/barret...vati_Barret.jpg I don't like the light brown rusty color. decrease the saturation and lightness in "Hue/Saturation in Photoshop to get a dark grey. the bipod is a bit too big (fat) compared to the rest of the model you should also make alpha channels (or remodel) on the part where the scope is attached Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blakarion. 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 BOTH models look sweet to me guys ! If only I had the talent / patience to do those type of Models...... But I dont think =MM= Shadows quick'n'easy version is too bad - do u ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Points taken on board there Stalker.....only 1 thing though buddy The links you give are for the M82 Barret and not the 'Payload' rifle, the magazine on the Payload is angled slightly....maybe not as much as I have given but have a quick squiz bud... Will have a look and see about changing the saturation etc though mate, thats one of the things I didnt like myself Your right on the bipod too, will edit that sometime soon Laters guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxe 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Another pic from the XM109, finished the model today. Just a few hours of texturing and it will be ready for use Oh....I exported the untextured model to GR and the only thing that amazed me was, the left hand of the sniper moves from the barrel to the back of his right shoulder. Looks very silly. What did I do wrong with the helperpoints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM-HITMAN 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Nice looking rifles everyone. Jaxe, what is the poly count on your latest model? You mentioned it was high, how high is it? I don't know if this helps but there is a tutorial that might help reduce the polycount. http://www.ghostrecon.net/html/mod-gun-models.htm Keep up the great work everyone.

Jaxe 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Jaxe, what is the poly count on your latest model? You mentioned it was high, how high is it? I don't know if this helps but there is a tutorial that might help reduce the polycount. About 10K The grips, handles,scope etc are complete build-up with meshes. Maybe wasn't this such a good idea. But looks pretty nice I guess. Maybe a remodel the gun someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SnowFella 8 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 It's a beaut of a model althoug it's high in polys for GR. Ought to be able to cut atleast a few of those of if you wanted to by alpha layering the holes in the bipod and let a texture do the work on the sight rail. Maybe even let a texture handle the holes in the barrel shroud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxe 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Thanx SnowFella. About the alpha layering.... I'm not in to photoshop that much, but I guess it works the same as the alpha layering for a reticule? Are there any examples around here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I made a new sniper reticle a while ago Jaxe........ Not the worlds greatest screenie but the sniper reticle and black ring effect only appears when the sniper zooms in, otherwise the screen is completely blank. Drop me a line if you wanna hand with reticles or have a look at my reticle mod to pick apart and see how theywork mate My Reticles Mod I think this link should work but of not drop me a line and i'll help ya where I can buddy.

chiel_mic 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I'd like to be able to do some reticules like that too. so it only turns up while zooming in he that's just great, I wanna know how you do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVS1 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 @ chiel_mic - i think it can only be done with the sniper reticle as its a 1/4 that is symmetrically displayed on the screen....hard to describe but I not think it possible with 'normal' rifles etc......hopefully I can be proved wrong though Any help ya need drop me a pm and we go from there Laters DVS1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxe 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 @ DVS1 Whooo nice reticule, I realy like to use someone like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
