Alright. Andrew sent me some new stuff for this beast, so here's a sneak peek. Nickel-plated finish and a black rubber grip.
Here's the render/preview he sent me, I'll be editing in NifSkope previews tomorrow, and *maybe* some actual in-game shots if my PrtScrn key feels like cooperating.
And here's a preview of what I'm calling the "Dark Nebula" finish, thanks to a friend's truly amazing camo/color swap system. Hoping that combining that with the new nickel-plated base from Andrew will get something close to the factory Nebula finish, so fingers crossed it works!
All I'm missing for the update is a decent light/laser unit to bolt on (I have legit a half-dozen floating around, need to check which one looks the best), other than that it's just setting up a good dozen or so materials and material swaps to cover most of the factory color options, plus whatever y'all ask for.
One of my favorites mods, good and useful but not completly overpowered weapon, the ony thing i wish it had would be an additional red dot sight or something
Hi. Can we expect further development of the mod? Sights, damage modifiers, ammo, under-barrel devices? From themselves, your weapons are too common in the game world, I think it should be more rare and powerful.
Hey man, be better if you save the textures in the right format. You will not lose any detail and everything should be around 45 mb out of the archive.
Far as I know I *am* saving them in the right format. Diffuse is BC7, normal and specular are both BC5. I've tried BC1 for the diffuse, but that leads to some obnoxiously heavy compression artifacting that I haven't been able to clean up to my satisfaction.
Whiskey, this is a fantastic mod and is a permanent addition to my game. I was wondering though, do you plan on implementing actual .357 ammo into the game? I know that Bread2point0 integrated the ammo into his Python mod but wasn't sure if you had any desire to do so. Thanks again for a fantastic mod!
That's gonna be part of the next update, actually. Initial release is always just a "let's get it out, see what people want" thing with me, so I know where to focus for near-future updates. Should have *something* ready in about a week, possibly sooner if I can stop bouncing between projects like a damned ping-pong ball.
WhiskeyRiver2, Amazing pistol, looks and performs great and it'll be staying in my load order permanently. IF you are looking for some ideas for updates, it would be nice to see a military version in O.D. Green with black grip. Also, I do not know your realm of experience modeling but if you Google "military Chiappa Rhino" you'll find an amazing model of the revolver with a built in red dot sight, Might be worth looking into. Anyway, thanks again and I look forward to any updates.
OD green is definitely coming, but I'll have to ask Andrew about the black rubber grips. Can't just mat-swap the current ones to black without them looking a bit strange.
As for the "military" Rhino. *Maybe*. Big fuckin' maybe.
That's great to hear and I can't wait to see it and use it in game. As far as the military Chiappa Rhino, its just a suggestion. There was a mod author on here a while ago that showed some work in progress pics of a model he was making but I haven't seen anything about it since that one post. You might be able to link up with them and see if you can take over where they left off. Either way, thanks for the great mod and I look forward to updates.
In the next update, probably. Buddy has a good mostly-universal cubemap he uses for a worn-out but still usable look, so I'll check how that looks tomorrow.
Nice! Finally an actual 6 inch rhino. Instead of something labeled as a 6 inch.. But isn't. You should look into the various finished the rhino comes in(There is some odd ones).
Believe me, I have looked into it. Top of my "want" list is that funky-looking "Nebula" multi-color PVD that looks like an oil slick or rainbow. Absolutely no idea how to pull it off in-game though, sadly.
Edit: Scratch that. Friend/team mate just sent me something that should do the trick. Looks like the next update just got bigger and better.

I need shiny guns in my life.
