- Balou and Redlemons present: A Quake III: Arena Grenade Launcher Replacement-

The Ahedonia Grenade Releaser - The Ultimate Devastating Ultra-Deadly Grenade Launcher for Quake III: Arena



Date: August 18, 2001


Description    : The Ahedonia Grenade Releaser is a Quake III: Arena grenade launcher replacement based upon the real-world     M79 Grenade Launcher. A few additions have been made to suit both the Arenas and the ever-increasing fast pace of our world. A comfortable strap has been added to make carrying a breeze. A comfortable rubber trigger has been implemented , which means no more sweaty fingers slipping and missing out on a frag. An ergonomic, large rubber buttstock was created to fit snugly into the shoulder, increasing accuracy and comfort on the battlefield. All in all it's a sweet gun you're holding in your hands. The word 'Ahedonia' means literally 'the absence of pleasure'. For your enemy, that is.


The Model    : Polycount - 598 faces - LOD_1 397 faces - LOD_2 323 faces
             Modeled by Balou. Mesh building time around one week (+ LOD).


The Skin    : Created by Redlemons. Main skin is 512x512 resolution, grenade is 64x64 and the metal shell cover is 64x64.
