Customized Storm Bolter for Apo

[David-CZ]

2.4. UPDATE:
Fixed normals (no longer reflect light from the ground but the sky as intended; the picture is no longer acurate)

A weapon that'd replace the MCB of Apo's.

At first I planned to make it according to the official design but unfortunately there was no way the weapon could be held in both hands. So I took the liberty of customizing the weapon to both hands. I hope it's ok.

Looks fantastic! My only suggestion is add a little bit of dirt/wear and tear/noise to the white areas of the texture, but it sounds like you're working on it. Good Luck and thanks!

[Indrid]

Yeah, could use a bit more grimdark.

[David-CZ]

Got it and I'm on it.

I like how the bolter looks. Sadly it is not going to display correctly for me. Same situation with the bolter of the techmarine.

[Lag]

This looks badass.

Do you mean the black texture? Or rather the missing texture? If so I already sent message to Shuma asking about how to deal with it. Unfortunately I haven't received any answer yet.

You convinced me, maybe a Stormbolter does look badarse on an Apothecary :thumbsup:

but I think the gold is just too shiny / yellow-y.

I hoped I'd pull it off with these settings Anyway it's pretty hard to get the right color and after some time you just become blind to the particular hue. So another opinion is quite handy. I'll try fixing it once again.

see if the other textures in the game are mipmaped.

OMG, I thought the issue was somewhere in the texture assignment and I kept going through all the models checking the differences. And all I had to do was to change one checkbox in Photoshop. You're my hero.

The model is great, but instead of that winged-skull I suggest change it with the Helix Prime symbol.

Still, I prefer a default Bolter with the Stormbolter magazine instead of a complete Stormbolter. It could be weird see a single muzzle and a single projectile in the middle of the two barrels or a double muzzle but a single projectile.

[David-CZ]

I originally planned to put the helix on it instead of the skull. In the end it didn't fit very well so I used the standard winged skull that is on every bolter.

The gun fires only one projectile since I couldn't make the pointer work for both barrels. But unless you actually zoom in on the weapon when it fires you can't really see much when playing.

[Orkfaeller]

Oh yeah, dont know how much work it would be, but a helix would be awesome.

No, it fires a single tracer because nobody put a double-tracer fx on the weapon. Just place the same markers as Termie storm bolter and it's gonna be fine when I implement it.

I used the fx form the Termi bolter and honestly I can't see any difference. Someone please tell me if it fires two projectiles.

The problem of the helix is that I don't know where to put it. I can't use it instead of the skull since the skull or rather the wing is horizontal while the helix is vertical.

[Orkfaeller]

What would be so horrible with making the helix horizontal?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it look silly? Like putting the skull vertically.

[Orkfaeller]

Well, its supposed to be DNA, so you could argue it doesnt really have an "up" anyway.

Atleast I for one wouldn't care if its turned.

[Lulgrim]

This model is in the next build now (with double muzzle flash & tracer).

[Indrid]

Woot.

[Magus Magi]

Very excited for this. The model just looks so awesome. I saw it in the patch notes and had to come back to this thread to ogle it and build anticipation.

[Sub_Zero]

I hope that this thing will be displayed correctly. Also hope for fixes for other stuff. It seems you have found the problem.
