Default rifle model in WINTERMUTE

[Morphe]

Yeah, As I remember, the rifle model in Wintermute is quite different. But when we equip it, it's the default model. Same in cut-scenes. Is this a bug or oversight/done deliberately?

It's sorta annoyed me... the reason why they made it the normal one is probably because it would take time to make an entire new animation and 3D model for a small change like this. But I'd still like to see this model in Sandbox mode.

I don't think it would be THAT hard. "Forest Talkers" rifle just have different texture, not like special model with laser sight or sth. It wouldn't be hard to implement this. Hinterland probably makes project file which has every second of animation "changeable" ( like in drawing, instead of .png file you can make .pdn ( paint.net ) which have layers and undo button working. ). It would take a minimal effort to just change the animation, especially if they have the model fully made.

Probably minor oversight. should be only a few min of work, just setting the proper material for the prefab. Likely there's one asset for player rifle for both story and sandbox while world placed asset have two slightly different assets.

The this is it should be in story mode, in first person especially. It wouldn't be hard, just to change a model in animation.

ye, edited my post, misread your OP.  

I never noticed it though, most players probably didn't notice it either. too focused on the bear.

Oh ok no problem mate. I would really love to see this rifle in my hands. Btw, I don't understand why J's broken rifle is not "item" ( no weight, not even in inventory ). It would be cool to see weight modifiers. Also, WHY WE CAN'T WEAR J'S COAT?!

Probably because a lot of players would wear it until it was tattered and then give it back. Er, not that I would, no, others would. *looks sternly around the room while crossing her fingers.*
