[Weapon] Artillery Shell IED [WIP]

[motherdear]

would be nice with a better bottom (a bit extruded on the sides) and then a small rim where the bullet changes from canister to round. and lastly a bit rounded cord instead of the break in the end. idk if you will be able to fix these issues. but would make it look better tbh.

[EOD_Security-2252]

Sure, I can do all of that probably. I'm not sure about the cord, but the rest I can definately do.
Now, as for the rim where the bullet exchanges - Do you mean where the projectile connects to the shell (as in the bottom part), if you do, there isn't a rim there at all on projectiles, the projectile is just jammed (sort of speak) into the shell. However, the every top (where I have semtex-H material) does often have a rim. I actually began to add the rim while making the skin, but I decided against it (I forget why).
How, I haven't added the rim yet, but what does everyone think of the dimensions of this (frontal length vs mid length vs bottom length, overall fluidity, etc.)


EDIT 2 - Ok, I like this one the most. I found a picture of an Australian EOD guy strapping an incendiary to a 105mm projectile and I based it off that.

Looks a bit too slim compared to the length IMO.
Something like this could look better.

[EOD_Security-2252]

I agree tupla, it does look a little long for it's diameter; however, no matter how many reference pictures I use, the actual dimensions are proportionally correct, but math's not what counts, it's how it looks. So, I probably will shorten it up.
Col., it could be a weird angle, use the top left picture in the quad to determine if you think it should wider. I personally agree that it should be less pronounced and a wide end would do that.

maybe this can help you

[EOD_Security-2252]

I've actually been using that picture constantly. I even used it to get a texture for the cord on the IED.
Ok, I've reskinned the artillery shell so it looks more like it had sent a couple days burried underground. Also, I changed the proportions on the artillery shell. As of this picture, the object is about the diameter of a PR US Army soldier's arm, and it is about 3/4 the length of the arm (from shoulder to hand).

What do you guys think now?

Cellphone looks like an IPod no offense but sweet looking model so far!!

[Scot]

Yeah that is probably my only point aswell

[EOD_Security-2252]

Well it is supposed to be like a non-flip phone and the electrical cord probably helps make it look like an IPOD. Would it help if I made the phone black instead?
Edit - Like this...

If I call that phone # will you answer? Maybe the insurgent put marker #'s on the duct tape so he knows what button is below on the cell phone, and give it the 4 bars to show it has good service for a sweet detonation Also, I know it's not ready but you should make the base color OD Green again, and later down add some sand/mud and dents. I hope this didn't come out wrong, it's a sweet idea.

[EOD_Security-2252]

Naw, that sounds ok, I totally forgot about bars. And I probably won't pickup.

[motherdear]

i think that we need a clay render maybe, would probably help to estimate how well it looks

[OkitaMakoto]

I think the phone should be the old fat phone thats in PR now... That just looks a bit too nice and clean and modern... BUT, I havent exactly seen too many IED's phones

Other than that, awesome I think it looks really cool. Could potentially be a mine type placement for a class, like you can only set it while prone, etc.

[OkitaMakoto]

Exactly

[EOD_Security-2252]

Ok, sounds good with the phone.
I was planning on having it be just a really big boom, and I'll get another comparison shot up after I remodel the phone.

[Scot]

Yeah that's better.

[EOD_Security-2252]

Ok, here's the phone itself:


And, here's the comparison:
