I didn't ment these to fit to the style of the movie. I made them for other reason and just published them here. I made them to look as authentic as possible (with limitations of Paint pixel graphics).

I have changed my style with weapons and currently I'm trying to get results like this. I have splitted the weapons into two groups. Weapons wich were invented in the lab (scifi like) and those weapons wich came with the soldiers (authentic).

I guess that makes sense.

And you get a whole other impression if as much work is put into things in the background as the things that are in focus. Things unimportant for the basic story is still important for it to feel real. Yes, it does make sense.

So, never mind this shot. I was obviously confused.

Sample is an ACTION movie. There is dialogue in action parts. It isn't just written into script. About weapons... When Sample moves with soldiers, some soldiers have special weapons like sniper rifles and flamethrowers.

We have thinked about making a game for a looooooong time, but there are two problems. My BGE doesn't work currently (I look if it's going to be fixed when I change computer) and I just don't have enough time becase of this project. I make the movie first and maybe that game then.

Wait a minute, in light of the shot I just wrote, do you intend to make a Sample game? In that case the number of weapons and robots make sense.

Cool. I think I'm going to use this one instead. Thanks. Next, you could study BGE and make a sharpshooting game XD. I have tried to make games with BGE but some code libraries are missing from my build so I can't use mousetracking or collision sensors. NAH! I can send you some of my demos if you want to...

I try this when I get my new computer (should be here until friday) because this slows down too much. I can imagine what it looks like.

It's a lot more snipery now. Krapow!

What do you think about the rifle now?

Don't ask me if you want to upload something. Just upload! If it's silly, we can just let it stay here and forget it.

Stucking with ideas is actually really good. That rifle looks like it's a toy and a scope lens would make it more "real". Remember that the difference between madnes and intelligence isn't allways clear :D

Yeah, it would be kind of pointless. But still...

This is why I never get done, I get stuck in ideas like this. For example, I made the chainsaw work yesterday. Want me to upload?

Where do I need that? I could make it look like real but where do I need that kind of view. Remember that all fights happen inside a building so there isn't even a need for a scope. It's there just because it looks good :)

I wonder if you could use raytracing to make an actual working lens in the scope?

This was made by Joel and I just quickly updated it. I haven't had time to finish it because I try to start animating and I need characters for that.

I just realized why it didn't feel right for a sniper rifle.

Sniper rifles tend to have smaller ammo clips and longer barrels.

Go ahead.

Would you mind if I put the chainsaw in the weaponr ack that is supposed to be on the Plingon Bridge in Stick Wreck?

That chainsaw is quite perfect now. I added colour and rendered an image. I add the file to header and put an image to image gallery.

I try that later.

Sorry, apparently there are 24 paths. I edited them so that you can see all 24 Teeth.

I cheated. Made a little hood for the blades to disappear into.

There are 22 paths, one for every tooth. I don't know how to edit every one at once...

I added two holes (one to top and one to bottom) so that teeth can go there. Now only problem is your curve. It don't go inside the chainsaw. Teeth start in front of the hole and disappear before the bottom hole.

I don't know much about curves and your settings so I uploaded the model (gun models-shot updated) and I didn't color the blades. You can do the curve things first (if you want to).

I weren't at imagicon :(

I were thinking about that hole too. I make it today and add some color to blades (again). I will upload the model to the header when it's ready and add a new image to image gallery.

Maybe there should be a hole where the teeth emerge? I just looked at your screenshot in the image gallery, and it has the top of a tooth poking out from solid metal.

Don't worry about being off for the weekend, I was too. I was at Imagicon, was that were you went too? Because if that were the case, GAAAAH!

I upload colored model after weekend.

Oh well, you used your model instead of my newest model (uploaded the edited model to header). I have to color the blades again :)

I spotted that MBLU-button. Thanks for advice.

BTW, I'm off for weekend so don't wonder if I don't say anything here.

I know more about particles. If you want to learn, I prefer to take a look at Tony Mullen's book "Bounce, Tumble, and Splash! Simulating the Physical World with Blender 3D". It's wonderful.

I don't know much about motion blur but I think it looks cool.

I try to manage with those curves and other things (I know as much about them as you propably know about particles).

Oh, Motion Blur was easy, just press MBLU in the Render panel.

(I edited the shot, it's now the file with the fixed blade.)

I accidentally added a particle effect to the missing blade. When removed, all was well. I don't know how to use particles. And I am a bit sketchy on this whole material deal.

Every one of the teeth has it's own path. Don't use the speed curves of the teeth paths to change it, use the time IPO in ObipoTeeth.

The steeper the faster. Levelled line means Teeth standing still. If you let the curve go downwards the teeth will move backwards. I think there is a way to add motion blur to objects, but I don't know how. I think it would make things look cooler if you were to add some of that to the teeth.

I spotted two problems:

1. When I rendered an image, one blade disappears and there is a hole (see image gallery. third blade in the bottom line).

2. I tried to add color to two blades, but they were colored only little. I clicked them twice and it came out with another object. I added color to it also and everything is fine now.

When I opened the material editor, it was messed up. Windows were stacked in front of other windows and the were all separated. Have you anything to do with this XD.

Thanks a LOT. I didn't plan to make blades, but that looks awensome. I don't know much about acton editor and NLA (going to learn when proceeding to animation) but I try to manage. Also, I have NEVER used curve path in my animations :), but I try to manage with it also.

Nice to hear that it was fun :D.

By the way, you forgot to add materials to the blades. I add them and put this to the task header.
