Exactly what do you need photos of and what are you using them for? Have the seen the photos in my book? I don't think there's anything on that site other than poor quality external photos.

Reference pictures to map out the weapon to transform it into a 3D model for FPS or TPS games. The game devs can't make this weapon (it's pictures) into a 3D model unless they have at least eight faces of the weapon.

It feels so close, yet so out of reach.

Think of it like a set of blueprints/floor plans.

Dude, that's like 15 dollars a month... you think anyone around here has that type of cash just lying around?

In all seriousness, if you are that hard up, then maybe you need to change directions.

Sorry, but it's too late. My mind's already made up seven years ago. This weapon is perfect for Payday 3 or H3VR. This is what I get when I marry a Glock 18 with an Uzi Pro.

It’s not quite the same, but Masterpiece Arms did a similar thing with a MAC:
https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa30dmg-9mm-pistol/
Somehow, my 6th sense was telling me Starbreeze was going to add that into Payday 3, but I didn't expect them to add it in so soon.

But it's like this: The reason I'm emphasizing the word "need" instead of "want" is because my characters need them to act out or perform a scene. - Props are used to emphasize a specified fictional environment or scene. Without these items (like I described and meets certain requirements), my character(s) can't perform a scene like I have planned (E.G, a 1300's lumberjack can't be a 1300's lumberjack without an axe (as chainsaws were not invented at that time), a knight can't be a knight without a knight sword (a sai just won't work with a knight, that's something a ninja uses) and an archer can't be an archer without a bow and arrow). Remember how the Powerpuff Girls made Bunny in the episode Twisted Sister? They used artificial sweetener instead of sugar, dirt, and twigs instead of spices, what the girls considered to be "everything nice" and she ended up perishing in the end. So it's clear that sometimes substituting can have negative results. Each item I'm seeking will be assigned to one or more of my characters and this is why I can't substitute a Volkswagen Beetle with a Fiat 500 as an example. It just won't fit the scene.

I don’t know anything about game development, but I know many video games include weapons, vehicles, and/or monsters/bad guys that have no basis in reality whatsoever. That tells me that many of these depictions were rendered without 8 faces to work off of.

I believe RoverDave’s book has detailed right and left side views that should be enough for someone with some artistic talent to make a 3D rendering. And if it is off a little bit, who is going to say it is wrong given that almost no one in the world has seen the prototype in person?

I know everybody has their thing and what, but it doesn't make sense and is actually fairly crass to pop in and beg for money. Which everyone has been pretty decent about. We know you are enthusiastic about your thing. Many of us have done 3d modeling. It only takes a couple of reference photos (8 is excessive) to model something. I would suggest adding the Uzi book to your collection and using its photos for reference. Having had 7 years to reflect on this should have been enough time to fund your project. As well as to learn the skills necessary to bring your thing to fruition.
On the other hand, i don't know anything about power puff, but that tidbit was actually entertaining. Not sure if it was just the context though lol

You are doing some kind of computer gaming, you are asking complete strangers for money in order to aid this activity, it is a very small sum of money, and you emphasized your "need" for something in a detailed manner, as if that fact has importance.

Based on the above, I'm going to guess that you are a high school kid.

This is quite possibly the strangest thread on Uzitalk I’ve ever seen. OP, just pay the money yourself. Why in the world would you ask complete strangers on the internet to pay such a paltry sum of money for you?

Maybe in the gaming world it is considered proper to ask strangers for money.

In the "real" world, it is not. Get a job and earn it yourself, like the rest of us did.

And good luck to you.
