Palm Blaster/Iron Man Repulsors

[Pugiron]

I would love for someone to make a palm-mounted energy weapon like Iron Man uses or countless other technology-based characters in comic books like the Sentinels from X-Men. If it's not possible to animate a hand liek that you could make a power-glove model that hides the hand inside it with the glove in thge permanant position of an open palm.

I would love for someone to make a palm-mounted energy weapon...............with the glove in thge permanant position of an open palm.

I can make you a energy blasting gauntlet, but I don't recommend a permanent open palm. You'll have that when running and other activities and it is going to look peculiar, like some weird mincing gait. Here is a previous one I did.

 

Maybe something could be swapped out when the weapon is fired. Replacing the standard articulated (rigged) grip with a rigid open palm model (not rigged to teh finger bones, just a single bone on teh wrist) via script. I doubt it would work, but even if it did the swap would happen instantly (no transition, just one second it's a normal grip, the next second it's open palm) and the palm would still be in the wrong orientation because we have a limited number of grips in FONV. If the whole gauntlet were swapped out for a rigid model and it was pretty long (say past mid forearm) it could have the correct orientation I suppose (palm out, thumb pointing up).
