3D & Animation Flare gun modelled and textured in Blender

[mamoo]

Here's my model of a flare gun which I hope to have added to the game as a tier 1 firebug weapon:

Here's a video of the reloading animation (look ma, no hands!)

about time someone else on the forum shares my love for fire

i made the incendiary mod awhile back i can code that into the game in a heartbeat if you want

also i can do some rough animation if needed

Meh.
You should get closer to the reference a bit more.
The texture needs an overhaul too. Looks like... washed out black cloth and not like plastic.

So Flare gun > Flamethrower > Incediary Grenade Launcher

Very nice model, not overly keen on the texture, however

needs new texture

Cool, I'll hand it over to you when I'm done with texturing.

If anyone sees a texture that they think would be good for this, could they point me in the right direction?

heres a texture i made to be for the metal parts on a PPSH, seeing how its basically just a cylinder it should look good.

 

[mamoo]

Thanks for that texture Prodigy, here's a newly textured version:

Lol so you are.

All looking good! I think you could darken the "wood" texture a bit
Oh man, I'm so looking forward to this, because if firebug ever gets this, I'm going to play it all night long

Needs a hammer.
Does any flare pistol have a wood grip?
If not, make it all black plastic.

I know flare pistols are no works of complexity but that thing just still looks too simple.

 

[omarfw]

make the handle some sort of metal. that way you can add detailed overplates and such. the handle is what makes it look funky and amateur

 

[mamoo]

Well I've made the handle a rather generic black metallic texture, I'm going to add wooden rounded grips either side of the handle to make it seem less squarey.

Do you even have a reference picture?

 

[mamoo]

Do you even have a reference picture?

Yes, I used a reference for the basic model but I decided to go my own way when it came to the finer details.

 

[Jaesperson]

...when it came to the finer details.

like what?
i'm really glad a few people here are beginning to create their own models, but tbh i would rather practice a little more before beginning the hassle of implenting these in a mutator.
of course it's nice to show what you are working at, but most of these models should get a little more work, i guess.

 

[mamoo]

like what?

Like the hammer, the trigger, the grip.

18 shot flaregun xd

 

[Prodigy]

18 shot flaregun xd

now thats just rediculous!
what is the purpose of having 18 flares able to fire in rapid succession?
