You had it coming Blizzard. I'm a thief

I ripped off your design a touch. Junks weapon was the inspiration for this work in progress model lol.

From one 3D artist to another, I’m not really sure what your point is here. Sure referencing is a brilliant tool. But openly saying you stole something feels like you’re just trying to provoke the wrong crowd.

Its like if I show you my design:

Ideally, its referenced from Borderlands 3, Portal and Destiny. But its not outright copying or stealing from it. Nor would I try and push it to seem that way.

Unless you are making money out of it, nobody is going to care.

definitely see the destiny reference, not so much portal or Borderlands.

fairs, if I was to name specifically it’d be wheatley from portal 2 (mainly they eye movement) and Katagawa Ball from Borderlands 3.

But hey, maybe I was over-referencing :person_shrugging:

maybe, though I do see the Katagawa ball. though it should of been the Rhys (Love making) ball for lols

fr tho, 100% biggest mistake I made lmao.

It was GONNA be much more of a rip off. But I changed it after I started adding details and texturing and what not. I got like a ton of stuff to do but ill render out a quick animation of the current version when I get a chance. Also its not a commercial thing so I wasn’t worried about essentially making a derivative of it.

ion disruptor like from star wars? at first i thought it was an actual gun lol…

Nice! It wasnt for a commercial project just wanted to make a sci fi version of it. But now its just turning into a random sci fi model. Heres the most current version. Still needs some stuff done but its getting there. At fist I was going for over the top with animated textures and stuff but im gonna make this one more sci fi realistic lol. You can see the junk weapon influence in it a little more now but its not like a 1 to 1 rip off.

the more over the top version that had animated textures and what not.

it’s like one of those 90’s bowling animations youd get when you got a strike or a spare

Looks like you ripped one of Moira’s tubes off her backpack and slapped it on the front

Okay I lied. It does have particle effects. Rendering out a test not to see how it looks. Also the junk influence is more noticeable. But not a rip off. I went more realistic ish. The rounded barrel the stock of the gun and the ammo box.

(particle effects are inside the ammo box. Could look cool, well see)

Also to the guy saying it looked like MS paint… It was a rough model not textured outside a principled shader with the roughness dropped, zero detail and placeholder parts. If you look at the current version its more clear what I took from junkrats weapon as inspiration rather than a 1 to 1 copy. (gun stock, ammo box, rounded wide barrel) I still may do a photoreal 1 to 1 version of some of the OW weapons this week though if I have time. This stuff takes a minute, its not drop and drag. Just adding a texture can be a tedious time consuming pain.

Most current still render here, or below somewhere. ill post particle effects for anyone that wants to see what they look like after the renders done. http s://ibb.co/x1nHDz2

the handle and trigger guard I may be making as a separate model thats why they arent really anything but a basic shape and button right now.

particle test. Very basic to see how it looks (not final)

Sigma male grindset.
