Unreal Launcher Design Notes - Spadey
As the 3D artist guy in this mod I think it's important to explain the design choices I and T6M made. So I made this note to explain those as well as give insight on the process.
As soon as T6M pitched the burst launcher idea, I offered my skills to him. And as soon as they contacted me about it I got to working. I had a rough model on the first day, using a mix between the Fo4 vanilla plasma and institute weapons for the assets. Probably the most noticeable is the fact that the launcher receiver is just a stripped and flipped plasma receiver. That being said, most of the models are still made from scratch by me and having reused the vanilla textures to make it fit with the receiver. For this entire project I kitbashed vanilla assets, nothing is an original asset except for the... -

At first, it wasn't the Laser-Musket that was the i...
