I like the wood/rust part, very nice

The idea was something like this:

Thanks HP =)

It needs a pipe bomb launcher \o/

The The reverse trigger thing might cause the gun to get stuck in a endless firing loop because of recoil.

Haha awesome , the texturing looks really sexy. But i would totally turn the grip to 90° for more badass effect.

it needs a break up in the larger areas. the part over the trigger handle is basically just grey. you could easily get some text, logo, badass scratch or what ever there and make it 200% more interesting. also try to add some lighting information into the diffuse as this is not a prop and at least in source some prepainted light adds a lot to the appearence of the weapon

I love your style! Look forward to seeing it finished

Mr Pomp Yay! Awesome work as always

I'm working on this cannon atm. It's gonna have spinning platform underneeth it in the same blended sci-fi/pirate mid-/lowtech style. Would appreciate feedback

Nice except i think there should be a larger difference in the way you texture the cannon holder and the cannon itself. they shouldnt look like they are the exact materials.

Thanks I considered making the frame or parts of it in wood, and in retrospect I think I should have, but I decided to follow the inspiration-photo which I found on google (author unknown):

The spinning platform will be mainly wood with a structure in the same material as the cannon. It will also have a railtrack on top which the cannon will roll on when it recoils (the reason for the shape of the wheels). The cannonballs I imagine beeing a metal structure around a transparent core with some scifi-ish energysource inside (Ion cannonballs!). These could also be used as potential lightsources in a level

love the look and the color scheme

Thanks Here's a new render, with the platform:

Needs stoppers to make it not fly off into oblivion.

I knew there was something I forgot "Stoppers" where part of the original concept I made:

For some reason I just didnt model them Though I think the cannon would weigh a couple of tons so the recoil probably wouldn't make it roll back more than about half a meter at most. I'll see if I add them later, but up next is some cannonballs

That's great nurb!

Mmm, steampunk-ish cannon. Looks awesome. =D

bst cannon EVAR

The platform looks kinda weird compared to the cannon. It would also fit in any other generic more or less sci-fi-like scene, which, for my opinion, doesn't go well with the steampunk style you're going (it is steampunk, right? ) Needs more corrosion - and blue~~~~ (might also be the specular) Pure gold nonetheless

That cannon is pure bred awesome, nice one

Thanks all! I havent thought in terms of steampunk when I made it, but yeah, it does share the characteristic that old is mixed with scifi or fantasy. It's just that I use "YARRR! (!)"-technology instead of steam as the "old" component

Hi everybody, it's my first post (sorry for my english i'm french )

I will make a little map for render in Source Engine.
