Here’s a picture of how my first 2 hours with it went.

plohtato posted an update:   1 year, 6 months ago · View Texturing has not made progress. I attempted to add chamfer’s to the model and added a smooth modifier in order to create a rounder gun rather than a box with a barrel. Nice in theory, hard in practicality. Tried several times with varying results. UVW mapping and textures still look as sharp as always and I can’t seem to achieve what Ig_Pappy did with the original SWAT 4 weapons. I guess I’ll have to keep reading, waiting for Ig_Pappy to notice the forum post and keep trying random things.

- Duplicate the breaching shotgun, overlay with AA-12 model and beef up the ammo so it can kill and breach.
- Carry a breaching shotgun and then make ’Thor’s Hammer’ when I have time.

plohtato posted an update:   1 year, 6 months ago · View Currently developing my first SWAT 4 weapon. My first encounter with 3DS max really began a few days ago. Modelling was a pain however things have worked quite well so far. Textures are the worst in terms of realism but then again, there’s a first for everything.
I’ve managed to get the AA-12 into third person and first-person modes with high rates of fire and a 20 round ammo capacity. Still trying to figure out how to implement a clip system that AA-12’s normally have. An attempt to overlay the G36K with the AA-12 resulted in no ammo for some reason.
Here are some screenshots of the development!
