Avatar mod: New weapons and help needed on bones!

[The_Arsenal]

I've now finished the preliminary models for 13 of the planned weapons for the modification. This includes a few melee weapons, a grenade, some assault rifles, a couple pistols and one of the SMG's. Please note that the renders dont show off all the small details because I'm using the default lighting and materials right now.

I've also been working on learning how to fully incorporate them in the game and am not too far off from achieving that goal. The problem I have now is I dont know how to make the bones for the gun models for when the player holds it and also the V_weap models.

If anyone can give a little guidance on making bones for weapons and animation it'd be much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Alot of the uglier ones have already been updated, and without any extra lighting and such its hard to see the small details, but thanks for the encouragement.

They're also all rough drafts, none of them are what I'd say finished, but most are around 2000 poly's which is around what the HL2 models are, so once skinned they should look alot better.
