Here is a small update, i started building a pistol, a glock so i hope it won’t be too complex, i am not really feeling easy with making handguns, i have tendencies to feel it looks too simple.

Now that my little hardware related annoyances are things of the past, here is a little update of the cornershot model, the back of the gun is now complete (minus the backside wich is still mirrored and the lack of optics) .

It is definitely taking shape now.

Note: the blue block is a placeholder for the front part that still need to be done.

another little update, i worked on some of the twisting handle, screws, grip that sort of stuffs, need to study some the hinge to make something proper, the first part of the hinge and the button supports are looking fine to me.

Another little update…

Well just a little YAY because my name2key database just crossed the million of keys/name pairs, you can browse it here : http://kdc.ethernia.net/sys/name2key.php

I didn’t before either.

The CornerShot is some of the nifty tools the Israeli defense force are inventing in their free time hehe, it’s basically a sort of frame that will hold your weapon for you, it has a built in camera and the end can be turned at +-45 degrees or can be kept straight (so you don’t looks like an idiot when an enemy is in front of you. Well it’s a gun designed to shoot behind corners, door frames, windows, etc… Without exposing yourself.

Here is a little YouTube video for those that aren’t afraid to learn something today.

Okay, Obviously it’s a cool toy. Now to get in the thick of the subject, i decided to try to build it for Armed Assault. And here you can see my work in progress pictures in all their glory.

Not bad i guess, lots of molded plastic on this thing. It’s the hi-resolution version that i will use to make the normal maps (and at worst case i will have a nice folding butt stock i can recycle in something else)

Just thought i should share my first SL/Youtube video

Some might wonder about the way i work in SL, here is a little insider picture to show you the work involved in creating the buckled latex corset.

Okay , impressed? well this is the “mold” that i used to make, it or, actually a detail from it. Of course Sl being what it is , not a lot of the details remain once put into 2D. But you have a little idea now on how i work and how much time is invloved in an outfit.

just a little 3D project i started —> ak 47 receiver

Since i do not plan to limit the dead realm sky city just to the KDC shop i started building a metal bridge that expand to reach a second rock formation.

Though i don’t know yet what will be on the second island…

Note: Since the light in dead realm is set super dark and there is no glowing crystals around the bridge, i changed the color contrast in photoshop so “something” can be seen.
