Ruger Mini-14

I was having one of my usual "Guns on Trampolines" daydreams when it occured to me no one's ever done a straight upgrade of the hunting rifle's weapon. There have been a truckload of M14's done in the past (one of them done by myself, in fact) but no one's ever gone and done a shiny new Mini-14 before! Usually I don't care for doing rehashes or "HD" versions of pre-existing models, I prefer to stick to doing unique more creative models done by the community; every ♥♥♥♥♥ with a 3d program has gone and done a Scar or a M16 or something similar at one point (or ported one), I figure why do what everyone else has done?

Then I heard the horrifying news that the Happy-go-Leviosa English are rebooting friggin' Watership Down[www.blastr.com], in CGI of all things! When considering how terrifying the whole thing looked in regular, hand-drawn animation I can't see a 3d version coming out in a way that won't resemble an army of multi-colored Bonnies from Five Nights at Freddy's. After two days of cowering under my desk from the resurfaced childhood memories it quickly became clear that the world needs to be armed with new hunting rifles capable of defeating the animation ghetto rabbit menace. While we may still have to wait for Furry hunting season,we can still take up arms and take down the lower level that is talking rabbits...that or heavily gore one another in old fashion 80's era animation to the permenant mental damage of growing children around the world..

"All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and when they catch you, they will kill you... But first they must catch you"

DAMN STRAIGHT SON, AND I'VE BEEN SAVING TWENTY YEARS OF ANGST JUST FOR THIS VERY OCCASSION.


It's Kouoaeha's Ruger Mini-14 model, from the New Vegas mod of the same name[www.nexusmods.com], ported from the uncanny valley of the Gamebyro Engine to the slightly less uncanny valley of the Source Engine!

Replaces the hunting rifle on Inter's mini-14 animations.

Thanks:
Kouoaeha - Giving me the source textures, so they could be compiled without any artifacting.
Stultus - Demonstration video
- With love to Inter & Robert

No Thanks:

Myself - It took me an hour to track down and remember Kouoaeha's name, and another fifteen minutes just to spell his name right. God, I'M the real ♥♥♥♥♥ ...
Watership Down - WHY DO YOU LINGER IN MY HEAD. GET OUT; LET ME MENTAL IN PEACE.


I am going to start expanding my compiling work to the workshop of Insurgency. The first project is being researched and revised, with MrBrightside on the assist. This model will be one of the planned future releases.

I am also in the planning/experimental phase of creating a campaign for Left 4 Dead 2. There are images of it here[postimg.org] here[postimg.org] here[postimg.org] here[postimg.org] here[postimg.org] and here[postimg.org]
