Description
Press Download on the right side of this page for original resolution!This one is pretty old, I think I modeled this about 4 years ago and it was just rotting in my project folder, so I finally decided to renew it with V-Ray and submit
The idea was to create a heavy cannon mounted on vehicles that shoots high-density plasma-like matter which in contact with air immediately forms small, sharp crystals moving at incredibly high velocity.

I dig the fact that you dig it.

Ye. I've been Going Down, Again!™ for a really long time. This is both a good model and a good concept, considering the mining aspect of dah Big D. I also love the idea of superhard plasma weapons.
I take it you got a bit of inspiration from Tarydium Shard weaponry

Actually no, I don't even know what it is ^^

Oh. Tarydium is a valuable resource from the Unreal universe. The less pure stuff that cannot be processed is compressed into shards to be reused as ammo for projectile-based mining equipment. This equipment obviously is used as a PDW by the player.
In the first game it's called the Stinger, and later Unreal Tournament III brings it back as the Stinger Minigun, which uses Unreal 2's CAR's secondary fire (fires heavier projectiles for five shards a piece, but the CAR actually uses Depleted Uranium and does more damage and splinters on impact). It is otherwise the same as the original Stinger but is bigger and fires shitloads faster, obviously.

Now that's what I call a cool looking weapon

Nice work so far. Love the metal material here. I think the detailing is very well realized, but there's always room for more details, and I'm sure you've got some great ideas for this. Keep it going.
