Better 3d Weapons? Thread - 3079

I was just wondering, now that we have 3d weapons, what about making them have more depth, and look less like -Insert that one popular blocky game's name here-'s? Just suggesting, because although I like them how they are, I think that something like the ones in Ace of Spades would be nice, that way they're still blocky and made of voxels, but just more realistic? if you want an example:

Weapons are unlikely to change at this point. They have been discussed and re-done multiple times already. Are they perfect? No. Do they look pretty good? I certainly think so. Making more detailed models, like the one you show here, is quite a bit of modelling & texturing work, as described here:

3079 is in "maintenance" mode at the moment, so redesigns of things that currently work pretty good are unlikely to happen, at least in the short term.

Actually, there is a program called Slab6 that lets you do this stuff very easily, and I think you can import them to 3079. I don't mean to argue, but it might help if you want to do some stuff with it later. Link:

I would need OBJ files, or something that can be imported into Blender before I can import them into 3079.

I understand it may not be overly "difficult" to use these tools to make new 3D voxel weapons. However, it will take a considerable about of time. There are many held items to re-create this way. In addition, once you re-create the handheld models, you will need to make the item inventory graphics to match.

Basically, there already exists a good lineup of weapon graphics, and spending all that time to redesign them again isn't a productive use of 3079 development time. If someone else wants to make all these models and graphics, I may consider putting them in... but this would be better served by a community mod.

Ok, I understand. You truly are awesome, for at least taking time to listen to and respond to your community.
