GUN-PAK: guns from a better world - 05/31/12 10:45

Hey guys, after the release of our QUB model pack we took a job that helped us travel to a lot of exotic and crazy places, mainly historical monuments. On our journey we met with incredible people that inspired and helped us to design the model pack you see below.
The main idea that emerged in the discussions (while on the move) was to design weapons as far as possible from what we see around us, to create something fresh and original, but to make them real, useful objects. These weapons come from a different world from ours, not as aggressive and fear mongering, where 'weapons' are used for defense and for work as well. The concept of male-vs-female balance became a good starting point. Energy VS gravity, aggressive VS subtle, straight VS curvy.



...Then they began to take form...



And thats how the whole set came into existence




You can see the GUNs in motion on that crazy promo below, made by our video guy.

Or visit the website for a playable demo!!!! (Click the image)



We're proud with this model pack, both in design and execution and we're very happy to share this vision with you and hopefully inspire you in your designs.

[color:"sienna"]Actually the most important thing for us to be inspired and to inspire people to create NEW and original art, rather than to make money out of the models... but if you decide you can use the models in your game, please buy them on our website.[/color]

Thank you!!

PS: the models are all below 2000 tris, and have a diffuse, specular and glow maps (all in a tidy PSD).

I think this is the category which is really dangerous to be used, I mean it looks cool only within an environment having exactly the same style, but it usually requires the same designer. and normally environment is not suited to weapons, rather vica versa laugh

They do look great. I like that they are original regardless of the fact that its not quite my taste.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments... i made a FREE extremely LOWPOLY version of the models.
Here is the original post i did at the Unity forums

Quote:
A sincere Thank YOU to the people that purchased the pak! That keeps us inspired to do more and better designs.

For those on a budget, we'll release a very low poly version of the pack named GUN kidz.
Those are the same designs but as lowpoly as humanly possible... less than 100 triangles each, sharing one atlas texture.

What you see below is a comparison of the 45$ GUN PAK (2000 polys each) with the lights on and the free GUN kidz (100 polys each) lights off.



GUN kidz is COMPLETELY FREE and its on its way to the asset store.


You can use the kidz pack in every mobile device, as a pickup model, as a LOD model, as a player weapon in a TPS game or as a placeholder while developing your game... and if you feel you can afford the GUN PAK, please buy it.

Thanks!


If you get them, just open unity, import them, then open the folder and you can get the actual models and textures out tongue
