No skins? No hands?

[Cybernoid]

Why isn't anyone skinning their models, or making hands for that matter? The end product needs hands, and even animation. All I see are unfinished, unskilled renders :sniper:

edit: haha. I meant to type "unskinned." Oh well.

sorry, must've missed your amazing, fully skinned renders, and perfect draw, reload, firing animations.

could you either post a link or shut your flapping cakehole. plus, you dont have to be a dick about your edit, saying that things are unskinned, but what you really meant to say was unskilled. oh yeah... ever thought that we might use the original HL2 hands, and anims for some of the guns ?

*edit* ahhh piss off

hehe

sorry, it just really gets me going.

he has a slight point, would be nice to see some hands in there every so often but it isn't all that necessary especially without the game.

So to random hero chill out dude he has a point, to cybernoid, it's a pretty stupid point right now.

errr, have you looked at any HL2 sites that give Mod updates ? check out HL2Central, they have many skinned models and some characters models. not everybody posts their work on these HL2.net forums. about the hands, how do you know there arnt any, and apart from that, ive already answered that point before.

The end product needs hands, and even animation.

*monotone voice* wow...i did not know that

All I see are unfinished, unskilled renders :sniper:

haha hmph:). why didnt you change it then. instead, it sounds to me like youre implying we are unskilled if we dont skin our models and animate them straight away ?

well to answer ur question if indeed it is a question ( if ur just trying to act smart u need to change ur attitude u dont start threads for that)
most mods dont even have the necessary staf required for animating some of them dont even have skinners, they display their work to start up a fanbase and attract the interest of animators and skinners.
also i wud advise all mods to stay away from animating major areas until the sdk comes out ..because it will come out with pre-rigged examples and some templates and stuff.

I don't see alot of unskilled renders....

I just see a lot of wips, and artists looking for some constructive criticism. Just because people aren't posting pics of their finished product doesn't mean they're unskilled. It just means they haven't reached that point yet. Most people are looking for some honest opinions on how to further improve their work, they aren't just 'pimping' the unfinished model.

i already modeled a character for our mod (www.off-limits.be) + i already modeld the hands (both need to be optimized), but the main thing we do at the moment is getting rid of the weapons, they are all modeld and now we are skinning them ... (we just don't release everything to the public) we will however do an update soon, with ONLY skinned weapons + a new concept art of a map
it's not like EVERY mod team will post it's work in this forum
just check the HL2 mod news site's, most of it is posted there

What were you planning to do with your model, then? I don't think anyone is interested in unskinned renders. You actually need skins and animations to make the model worth anything.

haha hmph:). why didnt you change it then.

Because I thought it was a funny typo.

closed because this is just becoming a cat-fight between cybernoid and random.

Random: Chill out, you don'y have to be so harsh.

That's flawed logic, saying someone can't critique someone because they can't do it. That's just not true. I watch a football game and crtique the recivers who should have caught passes. I'm not saying I can play football real well, but I can still crtique them. I doubt many film critiqes are directors themselves. keep that in mind.

I'll just say this here, feel free to pm me if you disagree

You don't think anyone is interested in unskinned renders? This forum isn't called "Pimp your models". Most of the threads here are people posting models or WIPs. They want people to comment on them, critique them, make them better. And they're asking for that for the gun model, not the hands, not the animations. And besides, scroll down the forum, look at all the threads of unskinned models, and how many replies they have. There are obviously interested.
And for the last part of you comment (about them being worth anything) keep this in mind.

When it comes right down to it, not that many people will play or not play a mod because they think the models/skins/animations look worse than another mod. Once there's actual gameplay, the models will really mean next to nothing compared to gameplay. Look at all the bf42 mods that are popular that have crap models. People might complain about them, but if someone decides not to play your mod because the models or textures aren't the best they've seen, you probably don't need someone like that in the community.
The only time that models are important is now, when that's all mods have to attract people.
