nice choice man, what vehicle are you going to mount it on? i suggest the smart car or bugatti veyron........;) :p

[severinianthony]

You seem to be in an Unreal-esque mood.

Hey! Here's what you should do; make this (above) minigun, and a bunch of other Unreal weapons, model some basic characters, and have 'em storm your Capitolio building! :D :p

Kidding; go for it ^_^

[Acid44]

dude is that thing real!?!?!?! i want one!!!

mount it on a mini cooper s... or a skateboard...

[starjsjswars]

Lol looks cool GL.

[marlonjohn]

@ younglion - lol thats a good question, im not quiet sure what car im going to mount this on but i have abit of an idea. i wanna put it on a small car such as the mini cooper like acid suggested :) or i might put it on a forklift... yes it sounds wierd but check out this new game called, "army of two" this is where i got the idea from.

heres a link to some videos of army of two http://au.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/825/825894/vids_1.html

@ severinianathony - Hahaha.... thats a good idea, you never know, it might happen ;)

@ acid - yeah might mount it on mini cooper most likely(thats if i know how to make a car lol).

@ starjsjswars - thanks man :)

[younglion]

nice start but the handle need to big bigger and wider.

[starjsjswars]

Lol... what render is that?

[petrol]

Its a low sample rate ambient occlusion render. In the attributes for the occlusion node, up the samples to about 64/128 and it should get rid of most of the grainyness for better quality previews.

Looks cool though mate. :)

[Acid44]

looks good man ive never seen a model by you that isnt mostly cylinders:p

[marlonjohn]

younglion - thanks, yeah i also agree with the handle ... looks too punie ;)

starjsjswars - ambient occlusion render for shader as petrol mentioned ;)

petrol - cheers man, yeah i only hit it up to 64 sample or higher if its the final product etc, though for now i like it at 16 sample because of that sketchy feel :p

acid - "ive never seen a model by you that isnt mostly cylinders" hahaha good one :p

thanks for the comments guys... i will work on the minigun tonight after the simpsons finish ;) :p

[wiredvibes]

I have one modeleld almost exactly like it ill post it as soon as i get home ..... its a little on the high poly side but w/e... just having fun

[publicFunction]

MJ,

I would do it in NURBS quickly to get the basic shape and then convert to polys and then to Sub-D. Once you have the shape in place in Sub-D convert back into Polys but keep the details (i thinks it is the Adaptive Option u use).

[starjsjswars]

Looks good.. but are you gonna finsh it any time soon?

:)

[taahir]

I like it so far .good work
