Which weapon would you like to see in a tutorial

[Mikademius]

You are all probably thinking that I never got my hands to the keyboard, but I recently decided to skip the referenceimages. I just can't wait any longer.... So I have started the main modeling process. I will write the article as I move along so in a month or so, I think we're there

 

[Dodo]

if youre makking a weapon, why not make "metal gear" from "metal gear solid 1" (it is a weapon, and a robot) just kidding

 

[Mikademius]

I'll have to start over or tweak a lot so this round will be like a practiceround. I can't get the volume right. But I'll get there.

 

[Mikademius]

Is this going to be one of those ultra-hyper-wow-holy-shit detailed ones like your Glock?

better...

 

[desty]

Really looking forward to this :thumbs: . Modeling is the only part of Maya I can't live with, this should be of great help!

[Mikademius]

Really? But you use Maya for other technical stuff or animation then?
A large part of this article will focus on modeling, rigging and scripting.

 

[ChrisArt]

Mika!
We have to meet over a cup of tea or coffee sometime and have chat.

Det er jo bare sånn det må bli når begge er så inn i en verden full av 3D.

Just a small update. A couple of more hours and the ButtGrp will be done. I just have dificulties knowing how it looks on the inside where the houdingGrp is (just below it) On the 7th of march I get the original blueprints. Oh my.... Well, that was a bitch to get access to. Only took me like 3-4 months!!
I know I have some issues with the mesh. I am working on it. I have been cleaning alot today, but it still looks a bit off. TriCount is ......36k. I recon I'll tripple++ that

 

[st0lve]

For me it looks abit to smooth
But thats just because I'm not really into your super mega highpoly counts

 

[Mikademius]

It's supposed to look realistic you norwegian lowpolyfreak

 

[Mikademius]

Well, if I get the drawings at 7th of march and I get an hour of modeling every day... I guess the modeling would be done in a couple of weeks. Then of course there's rigging, shading and scripting... That alone is like a month. And then I have to write the last pages of the article. So far I have written 6 pages and I guess there will be like 20+ depending on how much I wish to include...Guess this will be an early summer release. Maybe 1. june?

indeed, halflife mappers doesn't like more than 1000 world polys at the time D:! which is very low :O

But looking forward to see it finished.

 

[yadalogo]

how bout a Photon particle beam cannon?

 

[desty]

Isn't this supposed to be a video tutorial?

 

[Mikademius]

No, more of an article really where I share some secret weapons. Some video will be used yes

 

[ChrisArt]

nooooo dont share the secret weapons!!!! :angry:
lol I actually sat down with the USP again and corrected some mistakes. And now I have to unwrap that bastard all over again!


:bounce:

 

[st0lve]

the fun part about modelling

 

[ChrisArt]

There is no fun in unwrapping, only perfecting it one day is.

 

[Polaris]

Can someone create P-90 with laser aim? I will need this for my mod.
I dont know why make weapon.

 

[ChrisArt]

If you need a weapon for a mod your making you should put your post somewhere else than in this treadh as it doesnt belong here. Just a suggestion though im not a mod.

 

[Mikademius]

I think I'm gonna take a pause from the thread, NOT THE ARTICLE, and come back later to release it
