Weapon Modeling (First Person)

[Hells Angel]

Hey,

I'm planning on modeling a weapon in Maya yet the main thing is im not sure how i would make the first person view, because i cant find ANY tutorials on it. all i can find is how to make 3D guns...

Any help?

you just model the gun first. and then you import a decompiled model and use that to put the gun in the right place for the first person view.

ill warn you that it is VERY hard to get weapon models in game. i dont think its possible to do it without making your own animations.

good luck

Oooh can you note down everything you did and make a tut for it. Our modeller could use it to get his weapons in game since he's had no luck so far .

dekstar, i will write a tut when i have the time. i have kind of been waiting until its possile to use a decompiled CSS model and use the original animations....but i guess i may have to wait a long time
