DH-17 blaster pistol?

Post by Rekubot »

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct forum or not, but has anyone made a model of the DH-17 blaster pistol that I could use? Because I don't want to make my own and then find out that one has already been created. Thanks.

It seems that -_- found one in the BF1 assets. The SaveFile download has expired and the FileFront one just doesn't work. FileFront has always worked before :?. Does anybody feel generous and is willing to upload the gun again?

I have the one in assets, but tbh, its a peice of ****. It looks like, perhaps, a really low resolution, blocky, silohette of a dh-17.

The one in Majin's new maps is decent - I myself wouldnt mind getting my hands on that.

I'd talk to Qdin, otherwise I'd go ahead and make your own.

Keep me updated, because as I said I could use a new one two.

I also got Qdin on Xfire and will talk to him once he wakes up.

I found one in the assets mentioned above, and I'm too lazy to see why the d/l isnt working at the moment. Saturn_V also made a DH_17, if you need it, I'll see if I have time to pm you his files. Just remember to credit him later on.

The one I have isn't made by Qdin, it was made by Saturn_V.

Hey guys, I decided to make my own DH-17 blaster pistol and here's what I've got so far:

It's a bit buggy at the moment (the hand's made the handle disappear for some reason, LoL) but I'll post an update soon.

Nice, looks cool! :)

I think it looks strange when he holds it like a pistol since it is quite big and it would seem to heavy to be used like this. So I suggest that you call it a carbine and let him hold it like a carbine. Or that you resize the model so its smaller. Nice model by the way.

what about a 1st person shot :D
looking really well modeled, though im not sure about the trigger and the tex lacks lots of detail.
Would u mind showing us your texmap?

Well, the good news is the DH-17 also comes with a carbine variant (seen first in A New Hope)

Anyhow, it looks great. I would also love to see a first person view.

Hope it goes well, and i'll not lie - I hope I can get a copy when its finished.

Not sure what you mean about a texture map, LoL, but I guess it's the same thing that Jabba~ wanted.

The reason I didn't post a first person view is because I wasn't very happy with it, but if you insist... ;)

I guess if I made it smaller it would make it look worse in first person mode, but better in third. But since most people prefer third person anyway, I guess I can make it smaller.

Edit: I made the weapon smaller and a bunch of objects went missing in-game, LoL. I'm pretty sure it's to do with where the gun is positioned in XSI.

the texture map is the picture you use as the DH-17's texture xD
The tex seems pretty blurry and stretched and the blaster does not fit into the hand perfectly. Thats my only critics :) Good job in any case, man!
