Dwarven Steam Caster (Bow, Crossbow?)

[Embrel]

Used this free 3d model --> http://www.free3dmaxmodels.com/Weapon/Rivet-Gun.php And then modified the heck out of it.

This model is also used on Nexus to make the Dwemer Rifle by another user. They linked it to a staff in terms of animations, but I was thinking of linking it to Crossbow animations now that Dawnguard is out.

It would be mostly brass and muted brass, like the Dwemer ruins around Skyrim, with an aged wood stock. I would try to get the muzzle to emit a plume of steam, and add a top charging handle to substitute for the crossbow pull. Thr

 

Would this be something anyone would be interested in? If so, I'll pursue it and add textures and animations and such. I did some of this stuff in college, but that was nearly 10 years ago, and not this complex. (I made a Walrus fly through space and eat a burrito for my final project :confused: )

Or, if someone else is more experienced at this stuff than me, I would gladly give the .obj as a resource.

I would like it.

 

However, you may have to make the stock and barrel longer for the two handed crossbow animations to look right.

 

The Dwemer Rifle mod looked fine with this resource because staves are onehanded weapons in Skyrim.

 

Best of luck to you and when you post the mod, please link it back here.

 

Thanks,

I found this image in the mod request forum. This would be a perfect image to work from in my opinion if you wanted to alter that resource in blender.
