[Wahlgren]

anone know what specs they have cause it seems quite high?

im gonna make a weapon like this so im curious. Im thinking of actually going quite high on the specs just because ican but still.

4-5k tris
2048´s

Your pretty close, you could actually push the poly count up a bit higher for next gen 1p weapons to around 6,000. Of course this depends on the detail, the specs overall should be somewhere between 4k to 6k.:thumb:

have you been playing the demo? its pretty cool. Yeah I think Marcus is about right. Heres a small list of polycounts put together by Rick Stirling http://www.rsart.co.uk/2007/08/27/yes-but-how-many-polygons/ you might be able to get some estimation from these.

[Wahlgren]

Alright marcus. 5-6k it is. I wanted to go within the 4-6k range but went for the lower but hey. Lets go balls against the walls and go for the 5-6k one.

Its gonna be glowy, its gonna be shiny, its gonna be normal and its sure as hell gonna be colorfull. So lets see what we can bring to the table.

I even scored myself a guy to do the concept for me, without me promising him bodily harm if he didnt! Hey hey! :)


GED; Yeh we play it everyday at work ;D

[Ramseus]

Glowy AND shiny! That's a winning combo right there!

[Wahlgren]

Hehe cheers. I would like to see Occupation: Jr. Environment Artist change into Occupation: Awesome Weapon Artist God someday. I have no problems with environments (Like it more than characters) but weapons, man. They are the kings of the environment world.

New goal for myself. I´m gonna be the best weapon artist at this company by the end of next year. And after that, EUROPE! THEN THE WORLD! (ps: now i need you to help me reach that goal. Bully me or something. ;D)

@Dr. Airguitar - ok......SHUT UP AND GET TO WORK!

[Masakari]

You can even go a little bit higher, although in practical terms 4k-6k are enough to do anything, anyway. I think i read somewhere that Crysis 1p weapons are around 8k-12k, for example (not a pistol, obviously, but the bigger weapons like MGs and rocket launchers and stuff like that).

[Wahlgren]

Allright, ill just model the shit out of it and not care about polycounts aslong as its effectively used. Gonna check up with the concept guy today.

[onelung]

yea, UT3 guns are 8-10k and a 2048 down rezed to 1024

[Pezzz]

I would hate to be the guy modeling the weapons on soon to come realistic counterstrike askew mods. Something about having 8k tris to model an M16 sounds extremely tedious. I miss modeling guns, but that was back in CSS days and an M16 didn't exceed 2k and 2x512's...

@Dr. AirGuitar: Good luck on the weapons... If you're lookin` for inspiration visit http://cdg.net/forums/index.php these guys can texture and model weapons pretty well, probably the best forum for that specific type of modelling/texturing... Anyone remember sixshooter's css skinz from way back???
