I'M BACK! well, I'm back. I had to go use another computer to check this forum the last couple of days. Got My account taken care of early, and I'll be postin again. I've been doing a bit more modeling the last couple of days and will have some more pics soon. The Punisher

Tomorrow My broadband access will be terminated untill July. I had a month without any income in May and it is catching up with me. I'll be back on in July, probably with lots of new models to get feedback on. But I wont be replying to any posts on previous threads untill then. See ya here...

Yeah, I tried real hard to get the base model down to 4500 without loosing the good curves. In fact the verticies on the head were starting to show at that point. I think I can get a fully equiped version (sidearm, space helmet, air supply etc..) down to about 5000 right now with this level of...

I have the "Base model" for the female soldier model in My retro-Sci-Fi mod "Invasion Earth: 1987". I added the bubble helmet and airtanks just get an idea of what I want for the airsupply and helmet collar. The boots and gloves are currently just temporary placeholders right now. Its a...

I'll play it, as long as you got lot anvil's and safe's to drop on people. And If I can get some of those bitchin Acme products! Oh, I see somebody already said "Acme" and "Anvil" before me. Dang, too slow. The Punisher

You should build a lot of car models and such. Convertable's, sedans, coupes and some flatbed trucks. Think about the possibilities of doing a drive-by with several guys in a convertable all with Thompson's blastin away! Should be real easy to get alot of maps and pictures of old Chicago. I...

Well, I've been thinking about it for quite sometime even before news of Half Life2 broke, lately I've been starting some of the modeling and planning maps and scenarios. Its being done as a single player mod right now, but could also become a co-op mod later (depending on how/if co-op is...

From a modeling perspective I think that right now it would be VERY VERY helpfull to know how valve is implementing the LOD(Level Of Detail) system. Is this a fully automatic system with no user input, or will we need to make several detail level versions for each model? If it is...

From the looks of the screens we've seen it looks like they made a special effort to keep the user interface the same as the old(current) editor. I could be very wrong, but I dont expect it to be a very steep learning curve at all. The Punisher

I got the feeling that its not going to be a question of, IF anybody makes a Starship Troopers Mod, But rather HOW MANY Starship Troopers were going to be seeing. I can imagine ways to make one ROCK, or SUCK just as easily. And I'll bet we get the full spectrum within 6 months of HL2's...

Right now you can use it to build youre basic model. I believe XSI is probably going to be the standard HL2 modeling tool. Valve seems very happy with it (and you can get it for free!). Dont bother trying to animate youre models with Milkshape right now(I'm not even bothering with texturing...

Some of My first maps will be physics test maps, and AI test maps. Another map I plan to make is a model and weapon test map that will be basicly a series of hallways with signs pointing to different departments. Such as, Weapons, Character models, Vehicles, World objects etc... When...

The ideas for the refracted light passing through fishtanks is cool, you can see that effect in the demo where the magnafying glass at the scientists desk distorts youre view of his hands typing. I think you might want to hold off on youre plans for the spilling water though. I could be wrong...

Ya I use Max too, but on My computer Max runs alot slower than MS and I'm not doing anything complicated here. For SIMPLE tasks like buiding this gun I seem to be able to work alot faster with Milkshape. I'll probably be focusing alot of My energies soon into learning XSI. The Punisher

My primary Mod that I'm working on tight now is a sort of Retro Sci-Fi mod. The year is 1987,but its from the perspective of a 1955 movie. I've named it "Invasion Earth: 1987". I'm using every cheezy old cliche' from a lot of the old Sci-Fi movies and shows. Sort of Forbidden Planet, Battle...

If you wanted the commander to have a "Command and Conquer" style overhead view all you need is a small remote control flying camera. If you wanted to make controlling the camera simple, (like shifting youre field of view on a typical strategy game) you just have the camera translate...

I was looking at the grenades pin and evrything up close. Dude thats a BUNCH of polys. The straight part of the shaft on the pin is a cylinder with around 24 sides and about 25 stacks. Thats close to 1000 polys right there on that 1 piece of the pin alone. Of course any halfway serious...

I think a roadwarrior type mod would be cool. If I didnt already have 2 mods already in the works I'd do it. Something like a cross between "The Road Warrior" and "Interstate 76". Its already been demonstrated that vehicles can be armed. I have already seen a BF1942 mod that looked alot...
