Hey guys, this week brings a new suite of SMG concepts, a render of a random prop (because we can), and some team news.
The New Guy:
To start off, we have a new member on the team: a 3D generalist who can make everything from characters to props to weapons to you name it. We are very happy to have him and we are also happy to see people sending us a message saying that they want to help even though we aren't asking explicitly. But know this, if you are good and able to be active, we are always welcome to adding more team members.
Some Not So Good Team News:
Although we have a new team member, we have lost two other team members who haven't been online to talk or communicate, despite my emails, for a long time. So, I was forced to kick them off, which sucks because I hate doing stuff like that. But, oh well, things had to move on.
The Random Render:
I am saving the guns for last, so here is a render of a crate that is WIP at the moment. It doesn't have its specularity texture yet, so it will look odd. That and it still needs a few scuffs and such in texturing.
The Guns:
So, the most exciting thing I have to show you is some new SMG concepts made by our concept artist, Steffen. This was actually finished last week, and he has made some more stuff, so be on the lookout for that, as I will upload those some time.
That is all from us here at Leatharian Studios, we will continue to bring more stuff to the table as time goes on,

Oh ha:) i can pick out the mp5, mp7, mp9, and ump. They look good in futuristic form.
Hey, good to hear that you like them, I know the mp5 and mp7 are obvious, but the mp9 you are referencing (I assume the top right) is actually an UZI-MP9 mix, but nonetheless awesome. Also, which one do you think is the UMP?
He is probably referring to the top middle although that one isn't nearly as obvious as the mp5 and mp7 It does still have some similarities.
btw, the UZI/MP9 combination is really awesome.
Yea, my favorite is the bottom one, but that one (UZI/MP9) is my second favorite.
The bottom one is cool to, but it looks really familiar.
I can't quite place where I have seen it before, but I am almost sure I have seen one just like it. Also, it looks like it would be a little awkward to use.
Although I have to say, the bullpup design certainly seems to be increasingly popular... so maybe that will be the way all future weapons are designed.
Will you be using all of these? or just some of them?
The bottom one, as far as I know, is 100% original. You will definitely not use all of them, and we are not sure at all how many will be available in the end product. But, the target demo will probably have one of them, maybe 2.
It would be a terrible shame if you don't use at least 2 or 3 of those designs. most of them are really great.
