3d Iron Sights

Post by **Mosquill** » 2008-03-22 00:20

Since I'm going to modify animations for 90% of weapons anyway (for zeroing purposes([WIP] Balistics/zeroing)), I was thinking to make 3d iron sights. Something like this for example:
YouTube - Project Reality iron sights test

Since youtube quality sucks, you cant even see AK's reticle. But trust me it's there and it looks ok.

So what do you think?

Would it be possible then if you did this to make the weapons lag behind the player movment a bit. If you have played crysis you will know what i mean so as you spin your head quickly the gun angles slightly so it still aims at the center of your screen but its movments are off center.

That way it makes people have to wait till they have stopped moving their gun around before they can aim true but still gives them enough to aim in a hurry.

plus would allow for some nice views of the guns sides.

Why stop at making the iron sights 3D?

wouldnt it be possible to make the scopes 3D too? I dont know im no expert on these things but id love to actualy be able to see through the scopes themselves.

Yeah I think I can make hands too, although it won't be too easy.

Not working for me either... Sounds promising though.

Nice idea, how you going to do the M16 though? Might get annoying, cause than you have to make sure the rear sight is close neough you see through it, but far enough that it isn't like right against the handle

Looks really nice, I don't even mind the lack of arms.

Is the sight view from the world model of the gun similar to OFP/ArmA? Looks a lot like it.

That is good, and the slide kicks back too. Do you have more weapons on video with 3-D sights?

Raniak · Post by **Raniak** » 2008-03-22 09:05

It's really great, but personally I prefer the 2d sight more. In 3d it just look too "still" and out of place. Maybe it's because of the lack of focus/blur, I don't know...
