Well, the black holes won't be black holes in any case - the main reason for updating the skin was to get rid of them.

I didn't want to stray too far from the original designs unless absolutely necessary, but I dunno anymore. 

I kind of dig that actually.

Took a break my ass. 

From a technical standpoint that is some really nice texture-work. From a purely subjective standpoint it looks a bit like a mans willy... Dr Manhattan's big blue one.


hahaha... sorry, I know you probably don't want to hear it cause you've put a lot of love into it. ;) 

IMO all of quake's weapons should contain phallic design motifs. The rocket launcher always took pole position in my list of favourite slaying tools, and I like the fact that dwere is enhancing this aspect of the game. 

needs to be usurped from it's big girthy, veiny, throne. 

I was well aware that a certain amount of people tend to see things in random elongated objects. When using elongated objects in art, one can only hope that none of those people would be brave enough to openly admit it.

BTW, don't blame me for SSG. It always looked like balls. 

I see dicks everywhere

For those of you who were waiting for the Improperly Aimed Quadruple Dildo Gun: I'm sorry, but I had to partially cover it to avoid AO rating. 

these are bloody awesome! The b-models are exceptional. I do hope that the grenade launcher gets beefed up a little on the v-model though, it needs to look as epic as the b-model.

Great work so far though! 

That was me btw... wasnt logged on 

I'm flattered.

I don't know what to do with v_rock. Tried adding a few more polys, didn't like it. I think I shot myself in the leg by making the SNG casing look so elaborate on the view model. Now other things look blocky. 

V rock is OK tbh. Has plenty of polys... It's the grenade launcher that's the problem 

I meant grenade launcher. Rocket launcher is v_rock2. 

There was a high poly one that looked good, cant remember where to get it now though. I think just turning some of the texture detail into actual geometry detail would be enough to improve it.

I'd say that's an improvement. I guess it's preference really. 

That's the best solution I've ever seen. Now it's just a matter of adding a small rounding around the edges of the darker gunmetal parts, and it'll be perfect. 

I think rounding would be too much. I'd rather leave it as it is (inlaid wood, simple corners), otherwise I'll have to do something with other models as well. 

You could bevel top edges. 

I know, I did, didn't like it. 

What I meant is to bevel the edges. I didn't know the "bevel" word yet, I'm not a native English speaker.

Axe seemed to have a potential to be a giant pain in the ass for a relatively small gain, so I decided to postpone it and go straight to the software mode testing stage. Some of the models crapped out much worse than I predicted, but I fixed the most glaring issues by adding redundant geometry.

Fixing the less glaring issues would require adding even more crap and mangling the shit out of skins. I felt bad enough while applying the basic fixes, so I probably won't go any further.

Compatibility issues always cheer me up. 

Liking the update so far. I think the bevel works well on the GL.
