Unreal Weapon - Specifications & Rules

[requiem2d]

EXTENDED, SEE BELOW !



Theme

To produce a 1st Person Weapon which matches the Unreal franchise style-wise. This means you need to produce a weapon which has a similar style and fits into one of the following weapon categories (must be taken from the Unreal 2004 weapon choices, i.e. has to fire the same projectile):

As this is a 1P (1st Person) weapon, you may delete unseen faces or choose to model the whole gun. However, it is important to realize that the 1P view will be the image with the most weighting. For those who don't know, the 1P view is what you see when playing First Person Shooters such as Unreal, Half Life or Far Cry. To understand it better, see examples here:

• 1P Weapon Pose (In such a fashion, your final render has to be presented)
  
• 360 View of a Weapon with Deleted Faces

It is imporant that you do not replicate, but be original, therein lies the challenge!

3rd Place will win a Single Issue

I.e. Your own customized Flak Cannon. Good luck

[MrDev]

Mine follows the same idea as the shock rifle only with highly directed sound waves

you can charge a sound wave into a sphear and shoot it out you can then hit it again to break it open and cause a painfull screach into the minds of your enimie... and teammates!

Think I might give this one a bash.

It's probably going to have to be a remake of my baby, the ASMD shock rifle

[DaveW]

How close do they have to fit the catagories? I mean, for the assault rifle can it be ANY type of made up assault rifle, and for the Flak Cannon does it have to have the exact same projectile/use?
