My Offer

Hey guys,

Well, since we all know EA's stock iron sights (for the most part) blow hard, I have a proposition for you. I have access to all weapons in PR, and could easily take pictures of the proper view down the irons against a white background. Would that be helpful at all? I don't know if you could even use it, Just thought I'd throw it out there. Let me know!

could become usful. We have the L85A2 ironsights like that and really doo need to redo them but the others done at the same time may be a good thing too

Just to give you a small example. This was done pretty quickly, hence the tilted rifle.

Thanks guys.

Sabre_tooth- I don't have access to a Bizon, however I can get my hand on an AK variant with the same sights.

Arthuro, I think you're thinking of the PPsH.

Sounds interesting but I don't know how it would look when switching between the 3D model and the real photo. I think it will look weird.

I think we could only use the photos as refrences to fix up the current. Would look really odd to switch to a photo hehe.

Hers an example of how the 2D image sight would look in game:

I don't think it looks that bad after all.

I actually like it

Hm, looks weird. Would be a good reference image though.

very nice, once you fix up the small white lines around a few parts of the actual iron sight it would look very sweet, IMO do it, how much work would it take devs? and if it did flop how long would it take to switch back?

I think if you toned down the lights a little so you didn't get a reflection it would be perfect.

That was actually just normal lighting, but I can try to close the door next time. Are there any guns in particular you guys would like to see? Offhand I can do the G3, M16 (Albeit without the carry handle, however you can't tell when looking down the sights) M4 with the Aimpoint, etc.

I think the best thing would be that every new weapon to have 3d iron sight, like the PPsH. But if you can get the 2d picture to change color due to the way it is exposed to light, then I agree. Otherwise, a picture where you see that much surface on the gun would look a bit poor in contrasting light.
I think it would also require a bit of work to get it to fit in with whatever you're seeing (resolution wise), since in a state similar to what has been posted, it would stick out like the minimap...
