I wouldn't like to come near the minigun in-game...
Those are really impressive, i like your personal spin on the "generic" shape for most weapons. Gives each weapon a good strong silhouette to tell them apart.
Its all nice and stuff, it fits your style really well but honestly i cant really distinguish any shapes from these... I mean lack of contrast and single colour texturing makes it looks very 2-dimensional 
wow those look pretty slick...also 3 hours for each? That sounds quite fast to me, good job!
that's some fucking kick ass high poly meshs right there!
3 hours each hun? Damn, you're a modeling machine.

Was that meant to be a "gun" or "huh"? Either way, calling warby your "hun" is not cool 
Unless...he is into...that stuff...

Epic post.
what teh hell is a hun ?
Guys on camels and shortbows?
Hot stuff as usual from da Warbeezy Wickedeezi fo sheezi, but i`m also wondering about the grey one colour texturing. Wouldn`t a blueish tech texture with details and funky glowing electric pipes and lights etc. suit this a lot better? Is it a question of time or do you really want the textures to look that simple?

Errr are they even textured at all? I thought the texturing process is yet to follow!
I thought they are normal mapped yet and due to this unwrapped and layouted........i guess the only one able to bring light into the darkness is teh warbeezy himself!
Towards the end of the thread Warby posted there are some pictures of the turrets in game with textures.
yeah but because of unreals really really horrible way of using normal maps and compressing textures READ turning everything into a noisy grey brownish blob i did not deam it pimp worthy
i am REALLY disappointed by how it looks textured ingame to be honest
when i am over the shock i may post some low poly shots with normal defuse self illumination and spemask form the maya view port but right now i am just too wasted ...
Really distinct and well detailed designs. And they will fit flawlessly into UT3. Would like to see the lowpoly versions (with normalmaps) when they are done 
*edit* oops, missed your last reply. I 100% agree that normalmaps usually look very bad in the Unrealengine sadly Usually the result gets abit better with diffuse and alot better with specular. The specular really needs to bring out the edges of the normalmap. I dont know how big of a performancehit it is, but if the textures are blurry ingame you could try to put lodbias in the texture settings to -1, cause sometimes, for some reason, even if you put your nose against the material you still dont get the sharpest mip-level 
But you probably knew most of this allready. Anyway, nice work
there is pics now in the first post
They look awesome I can see where you had some normalmap problems. What's the tricount on them? Did you set a limit? Some of the ingame-models could have made better use of their normalmaps with just a small amount of tweaking/adding a couple of tris here and there. The body of the minigun (cylinder shape) could have followed the shape of the highpoly better, just like you've made the head of the flamethrower etc.
The end result looks amazing anyway
