well XSI will be shipped with HL2 for free so i would recomend XSI if you don't have the $3000+ for the 3dsMAX.

booleans are esy to do wrong and extremely difficult to do right. The problem is they usually create a lot of extra faces that make the mesh ugly and problomatic for skinning later. basically if your not sure how to make cut a shape out a mesh with "CUT" then you would not be able to properly...

you can also create the grooves from the start by usning splines (this s the only part of a weapon where spline modeling is useful) draw the shape from the top down. Of course why bother making the grooves when the can be skinned in later? Especially since it looks like an M4/M16 mag which...

look in the tutorials section of this forum also try 3d Buzz

on the discreet site it lists registered software vendors for discreet/autodesk products. alos you can che the Business software alliance for a list of vendors. As well as do a google search for vendors.

i beleive 5.1 will run on win2k. check out discreets website.

looks great. as for the bump mapping i'm not sure it would be a wise o do with weapon models. just because the GC doesn't have to draw the extra polys doesn't mean it will be faster than having to draw the realistic dynamic shadows tracked across the weapons surface. plus anyone not running a...

if your copy is legit e-mail discreet. if you have a pirated version it's probably corrupted. So buy it from discreet and no problems. Also i run 3dsmax 5 on win98 with no problems however Max5.1 requires winXP

if you look at all his posts he leaves them kinda faceted. It's kinda his calling card i would imagine. as always Chrisart that some incredible work. Your definatley one of the best low poly modelers i've ever seen.

hmm DC for HL2, could be cool. would seem natural with the talent they got on that team it would be an incredible mod. It's great for BF but man with and SDK at their disposal.... and bltchiness was the word i was looking for thanks senses. but again it looks really good.

look lovely. the only thing i would say is the butt needs a little touching up. it looks a little too...dodged. like you used to finger blur a bit much.. maybe it's just my imagination.

i dl'd the full install 700mb version of steam used it for two day and now i get this error anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?

looks good. though the handle around the plastic palm grips looks too grainy on the black one. and there is a error on the mesh in the front of the trigger gaurd that making it look folded.

the weapon models won't be LOd'd (also in the IRC chat logs; or in the valve e-mail sticky, i can't remember) so we as modelers will have too make two meshes (maybe three another mesh for the guns laying on the ground as seen in hl1) the qestion that really need to be answered is will the arms...

check the logs of the IRC chat. SideX asked him how the weapon models are set up. they (valve) said they were using 1st and third person models.

the only thing i would add to this is realize that there is going to be 1st and 3rd person weapon models. Valve models are about 2000 polygons in first person so we can assume that 3rd is going to be much lower than that. Of course in BF42 the poly limit was thought to be 1500 at most for...

nots so much as a tutroial more piece of advice. when you get yourself stuck in a situation where your not quite sure how to create a particualr object it help to free hand draw on paper it gives you a better idea of how the shap is created. I use this for gas chambers on weapons all the...

madre del dios!! i think i just wet myself. looks good can't offer any crits save that 2400+ might be a little high for 3rd person. we will see when game is released. *this is why reading the whole post is important. sorry missed the part about not neccesarily for hl2. agani f'ing amazing

a DC legend come to HL2. i can't wait to see more of your new stuff.

well i don't know if you cleared up aaa confusion. but you certainly helped me out. thanks
