Hey Speedy - good to have you back!

Remember you can change the base mesh if you want to as well.

Best of luck with the competition:beer:

yeh i not sure whether too or not yet, but thanks for the reminder :) ill b sure 2 keep that in mind.

ok im bk wiv a little bit of progress,
not started on the UV's yet, but i have made a little few modifications to Mike's gun.

1. move a few points on the top - this is so i can add somethin later on the texture (as ull see later on)

2. stretched the cone end so i could....

3..... add a ball in the connon where the blast would come from.

heres the pic C&C welcome. :D

here is a image of a idea - prob wont go with it because im not sure on the colours, but i thought id show it anyway as progress.
will come up with more shortly along wiv UV progress.

C&C welcome.

that's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping this challenge would result in. :) I hope you finish!

thanks for the comment Mike :attn:

Ill b spendin most the day on it 2moro so if all goes well i should make good progress. i hope to finish as i hate leavin stuff unfinished and I put myself up for this so im confident i can finish on time. :D

not very good at UV'in but heres a shot so far.

dam i 4got 2 resize the image, sorry if its too big. :headbang:

UV layout complete:attn:

i decided 2 change a bit of the design again - instead of the plates at the front i changed them 2 rings. here is another idea 4 texturing.

Speedy that's looking pretty good, I like the "redesign." Subtle by nicely done. The painting in your last post looks like a nice direction to go with it.

Speedy - just be aware of time as well - remember this is a MAY challenge, not a May/June Challenge....Deadline is June 1st

thnks 4 the comments guys.

yeh i really gota get crackin wiv the texturin this weekend, i cudnt do anythin yesterday was in liverpool watchin the final.

i have started but i really wana finish this now so guna get at it asap. be bk soon wiv progress :D

Sorry s2-speedy,
I forgot about you guys over here at simplyLightwave until a few minutes ago. I was like "hey I need to go visit our neighbors". Anyway, I too have been doing the raygun and I must say I really like your concept sketches, especially the last one. The color's are great. I ended up using a black and goldish color for mine but I think I like your colors much better. I can't wait to see how your model turns out. Good luck!
