cant we use 3dos for weapons
and use 3do classes?
its a 3d object, it should go good with the ta3d theme
like:
3d red laser.3do > light lasers, scout lasers
3d yellow lasers > jeffy/pt lasers/2 bomber lasers
3d green lasers > hlt lasers
3d blue lasers > BLOD weapons
just askin.....

Re: creating good 3d weapons graphics
Weapons can use 3D models (OTA supports it, so does TA3D ). Missiles and rockets are rendered as 3D objects. Regarding classes, well it would reduce possibilities if it restricts the number of 3D models.

Re: creating good 3d weapons graphics
not restriction of 3d models, just a usual 3d model to use for certain types of lasers
can laser, hlt laser, core battleship, ddm laser, etc.... green laser 3do
commy laser, llt, ddm, ak, instigator, etc... red laser 3do
krogoth, ddm, penetrator, annihilator, sniper, etc... blue laser 3do
anything outside of that can have a custom laser 3do, like how people normally use them for special/custom weapons.
we could also recreate the dgun weapon by adding 3do object to it as well

Re: creating good 3d weapons graphics
The d-gun is rendered as a 3D model in OTA (but it's mostly covered with sprites from bounce/explosion effects).
Regarding lasers, I really think the choice should be left to mod designers. Also unless you are looking at a (very) slow laser shot you won't see any detail on the object, only the color and global aspect (sharp, smooth, etc...). I'd prefer keeping billboards for the laser renderer and replace things with 3D models only when needed as it'll have an impact on performance (especially with a renderer lacking T&L acceleration like most Intel chips).
