[Weapon] DM51

[RED]

I need to know wether you want that fragmentation jacket or not

[Spec_Operator]

Would be better with i guess. Last but not least for balancing, cause then its just like the other grenades - a "real" frag grenade.

At least thats what i figured.

Sure we want it, because you already did it with fragmentation jacket just add some lines on it and its nearly done.

Btw.
The DM51 without fragmentation jacket is normal just used in room fights were an explosion without the fragmentation can kill somebody.

Don't know about the lines... I think it would be better to add these by skinning - but as I said, this is my first 'real' model, so I don't have any experience at all

I think the lines should be modelled, it will look better with them, the limit for the 1stP grenade model should be about 1500-2000 tris, dont make small parts of the model very detailed, find the right balance

Puuuuuuh, thats what I've got now:



Pretty much work to model those "grip-lines"

It says 3196 Tris now, so I think I'm coming to an end

That sure is a lot of tris for a grenade, it has more triangles than any of my weapons (and thans including a LMG and weapon with rails). A good idea would be to look at the insurgents grenade the DEVs made (F1 I think its called), it is a fragmentation grenade as well.

the grenade itself had waaay more sides that needed, so does the handle, and the fragmentation lines are too smooth too. I would maybe do them from boxes and maybe chamfer the edges if nessercary.

The top part is supposed to look like a box but I think you have accidentally dragged a vertex or something cause it looks a bit wierd now.

Newest version:
I call it DM51 v2 because I started again from zero:


<front side; painted griplines green for that image>


<back side view>


<detailed view of the grenade's top>


Notice the tri-count in the 2nd picture: Yes, im in the limit now

[[R-CON]Z-trooper]

Much better. The grenade also looks better now. If the smooth groups were removed from the top of the grenade and on the handle, it will look better I think.

Keep it up.

[RED]

Ok, I've redone those smooth things, what's next ?

Edit: It has 1858 Tris now
