About this image

While watching the many animated sequences of the Gamma Gun, I noticed that the animations were once much more sophisticated, but a large portion of them have been disabled. I'm trying to restore it. I don't know if it will ever become a mod, but it's satisfying to watch.

    This is an underrated item in the base game, hopefully you can restore all. By any chance, was there a "charge" animation too?

      Yes and it's not actually disabled either, just unused by the game because the weapon doesn't charge.

      If you look at it, in terms of size, compare it with the assaultron head, an underrated weapon aswell. The assaultron head in turn uses a charge animation ;)

      Speaking of the Gamma Gun, I'm also trying to recreate the glowing and steaming colander on the stomach of the Children of Atom from the concept art. It's just difficult to integrate the effects into a model defined as a piece of clothing.

      Notice there is the glow when holstered on the clothing and the sound aswell.,

      Yes, I know. It's because the "switch off" animation is unused by the game, but it's inside the .NIF model.
