So, since I've been a FPS guy all my life, and I don't really know how to do nothing else, I'm thinking on creating a new FPS game. (Original)
This time I wanna evolve as a game developer, and do things right. I've learned using 3ds max for rigs and animation, I've done some weapons (modelling and rigging), some animations with those weapons and a biped character, and now I would like to move it to Unity. Fine.
But now a problem arrives. As many of you can spot if you look closely, the view you have in AAA FPS games, is not an ... untouched view. What I mean with this is that, it's not a natural view, they dont put a weapon in a biped character and a camera somewhere in the face and it looks like it should look like.
If you take a look at Valve games, like CS, CS:GO and L4D2, you can see that the weapon is in fact inches away from the player's face, like, RIGHT ON YOUR FACE.
That sh*t isn't natural.. And it really pisses me off, because I know I can't reproduce that, and I'll get lots of people saying me my FPS doesn't look natural, by exactly looking as natural as possible.
Don't even get me stared on how you have your head popping out of a wall in a third person view, and in your first person view you have a full view to shoot
So imagine you have a character with a weapon, would you just put a camera somewhere, probably in the chest, and just go with it? Or would you have two models, one that was the first person view that only the player could see, and the other would be the third person view that other players would see? What would you use, and what do you think about this whole subject?
Thank you
