Hello everybody and welcome to the Weapons Library of The Dinusty Empire!
I am very happy to have finally found a place and people to work with for this amazing project. It has been a long time that I wanted to save and share all the weapons photos I had on my hard drive. Since some "library" closed couple years ago, I was waiting for someone to bring a similar project to life, but unfortunately, no one did.
The story
Some weeks ago, the idea came back again, and I started to talk about this with Jeremy Estrellado (Lead Environment Artist at Ubisoft Massive, Dinusty Empire Founder). He directly purposed to use the Notion platform because they already have all the University project and Empire Command page on it.
Then we started to work, Jeremy on the technical Notion side ( + feedbacks / ideas of course) and me on the guns side (all the photos uploads, infos etc...), and after a good week of work we already had our V1 available. Go check it out !
What is the purpose of this ?
The idea of the project is to provide a good photo & info base to any people who want to model a weapon. Right now, we have 67 guns; each of them have at least 20 highres photos, but the ideal goal is to have between 50 / 100 photos (most of them are around this goal). You can pick just two or three photos or directly download the entire album as a rar file.

What's next for this project ?
First, you can follow our progress HERE. I want to be clear, the plan is not to add EVERY weapons, this is almost impossible. What we want, is to have all the most "know" weapons before adding some rare, lost ones. It's the same with the weapons who have a big number of variants, some AKs models for example have a huge number of variants based on where and when they were made, we will not cover all of them.
You can see the current list of what we will add in a near future bellow, this list will grow with time of course. We have plans to add an "old era" category with first, World War I & II weapons.
This list was updated the 10/10/2021 - 98 weapons in total
Last words
This is a big project for every person out there who want to create weapons, this project is there to save them time! I'm very excited to add all the stuff we have planned, and I can't wait to see all this stuff uploaded and your reactions. If you want to contribute to this amazing project, you can contact me on Artstation, twitter, or discord (Defcon#3216). I would like to thank Jeremy for his help on this amazing project and every person who are helping or will !
