[227k] New Quadshot model texturing mistake #326

Closed Wulfrayne closed 8 months ago

Wulfrayne commented 1 year ago

The enhanced Quadshot model introduced in 227j has a texturing mistake that makes each barrel have 4 smaller barrels inside of them, images for comparison:

I'm updating the mesh right now. The multiskins slots are also altered compared to Unreal227i. Shall I reconstruct the same slots of 227i?

In my opinion this looked not like an error to me but more like an additional detail, talking to Krull0r later he confirmed this impression. I'd vote to keep it that way as it looks better imho.

Wulfrayne commented 1 year ago

I.. dunno, no offense but to me it looks a little silly, I vote to change it

Reasons being:

That's just not how shotgun barrels work, especially with the very much normal shells the Quadshot uses, at this point we'd be taking artistic freedom on something that was already designed the way it was

And I am aware it is a cut weapon, but it wasn't intended to have 4 holes in each of the 4 barrels, even if the original model is rather low detail it is pretty obvious

I already wasn't super sure why 227j includes a reanimated version of the Quadshot to begin with, but since it's a cut weapon that is rarely ever seen in maps I didn't feel too bothered, but the 4 holes inside of each barrel just doesn't make sense on how guns work considering that the Quadshot is a very standard shotgun that just happens to have 4 rotating barrels

Besides, the gun fires way more than 4 shots

Something like this would look a lot more natural: image

And to answer to Krull0r, I'm not sure how the MultiSkins were in 227i compared to 227j, but what I would recommend is to make sure that the multiskins match the third person mesh so that if a custom skin is made for the gun it can be applied with default properties, without having to reimport models

Krull0r redid the model, please test.

Model's good now
