[JUNE/JULY CONTEST] Badass weapons!!!

300 tris?

wee cool

Quote from Minotauro

I know 300 tris is more than enough, that way people can go wild with their entries.

Yeah, really wild.

Ugh, 128x128 looks horrid for lowpoly.

Allthough I barely moddle, I think 256*256 texres will deliver better candy.

are you kidding, 128x128 for 300 tri is enough for making badass guns, that's just a lame example

I did plenty of cool weapons around 150 tri and a 128x128 like this

of course earlier and not for the compo, but gives you a better idea

213 tris

3x128 defuse normal selfillu

so this is a normalmapped triangle? can i see top/side/front views?

of course you cant its a normal mapped triangle

i am just messing with hessi ... it is 213 triangles its kinda like polygone cutout instead of alpha map and than a couple of carefully chose verts in the center that i moved out to allow for a little bit of fake perspective if the weapon was to be used with gun delay or something that it wouldn't be too obvious that it is basically a sprite

thats a pretty clever technique

Im having problems coming up with a bad ass weapon

indeed, but the kind of game that needs sprites for weapons is probably not going to support normal or bump maps, and will have a limit of 1 or 2 tris for the sprite itself.

Looks nice, thinking outside the box but not applicable to most games I dunno if that was the point of the comp tho S:

That's badass reflex!
