Better snipper rifle?

[o_barsteward]

Don't know if anyone else noticed but I loved the reflection in the scope of whats behind the sniper.

Well I assume its reflecting the world as it has a different reflection in both in game screen shots. very nice touch - thats what I call attention to detail.

The vote is a bit nonsense because we have an in game screenie in the first post of the new model but none of the old one. A fair judgment isn't possible. But I'd like to say that the new model looks great in game. reminds me a bit of Stalker^^ It fit's pretty well. Good work decs!

[o_don]

By the way decs, I really liked your tutorial on the sniper rifle so please make more!!!

[o_formaldehyde]

Am I the only one who thinks the scope looks tremendously huge on the in-game shot?

[o_kam]

new by far but the max screeny puts the in game to shame

not a fan of the blue/purple lens and it seems too round? unless they're actually that round irl
and maybe give the scope that diagonal cut at the end like the old model so it won't look so big in first person

oooo, its finally committed to the beta SVN! yay

now, where's that 2fort?

Just imagine one of those babies flying through the air. I even have a good idea for the name of the map:

Okay, a bit wordy, but still...

There was a map called Pull in TFC where one team was all snipers and the other team were civilians. The civilians would step under a tube and get launched over a pit. The snipers would be placed above this launch point and try and hit the civilians in the air.

The new one of course, It looks more realistic than the previous.

Impressive.

I prefer the new one although it looks very long like fov 120 or something.

As far as size and proportion goes on that the main shape of the scope was modeled directly from a real life scope attached to a rifle and the rest of the model was then adjusted to have the same proportions, so the scope isnt too big for the rifle or whatnot.

Personally i think it would look weak if it was any smaller ingame.

As far as the roundness goes, im not sure what you're refering to? A scope of that type is cylindrical in its shape so how could it be too round? :P Unless you're refering to the spherical nature of the lense.

Oh yeah and the max screen.. you can blame the source engine for not supporting coloured specularity :P Wasnt any fancy trick to it other then a coloured specularity map and two normal omni lights with a mulitplier of 1 placed rather randomly.

Edit: Oh yeah and thanks for the comments, positive or negative. Im also glad you liked the journal Don I will prolly do something similar for the autorifle that im currently working on.

Are there any models missing ingame now?

Autorifle, but thats the only one missing. The medkit needs to be animated, but thats a real fast job.

I like the new one. It's definatly > the old one.

(first post wewt!)

[mervaka]

new one for sure!

i just had at look at it ingame, and there will need to be some sort of animation for zooming in and out, because now that it has a scope, it looks wierd zooming past it to zoom in!

I figured out it was an optical illusion from looking at the max render first which made the lense look like a purple sphere stuffed down a tube, so looking at the ingame shots i saw the same shape, but looking at them now it's normal.

[o_blort]

the old one looks nice but it looks a bit too much like a toy, so i'd go for the new one!

Agreed. I think it's just a little too big all in all. And you can see way too much arm/hand/
