Heres a little joint project between me and my brother (aka I_r_Foist). We decided to model a thompson.

Heres the wip. Most if it is done tbh, except for the obvious gap in it which is the next bit.

Any comments are welcome, if anything is wrong please say why.

Hope you like it so far, Doydy and Foist.

Can't wait! Please keep the models coming! I'm getting tired of all these reskins!

EDIT

Not sure if your planning to add this later but you missed the little round peg thingy on the back of the thompson's main body.

im not sure what your talking about. do you mean a drum rather than a magazine? i thikn the drums are ugly as sin, so we went for the magazine instead :)

I mean did they use this tompson before the final verison, this looks like when they were leaving the drum desgin:confused:

any way, back to the model and feedback. if there is any

Both the drum and stick mag were used depending on the country and theatre i think.

Anyway. This is coming on extremely nicely foist. You and doydy are to be commended on this promising looking weapon.

roger that SB ;)

i have been trying to get the area near the ejection port correct, its bloody hard to understand and get in detail, but i think i got it now. the fact that i missed out a few bits and had to go back and redo them on the area was a little annoying.

looks good but from pics ive seen it looks rounder in general, i think it follows the shape of the barrel.

One question, are you planning to do the rear sight like markman's tommy or like the dev teams?

I like this thompson. :D

yes, it will. it wont need much fov because its pretty short, but it will have a little. this is, if we feel it needs it.

No you seemed to not understand my question, I wanted to know if you were going to do the rear sight like it is in this pic

http://dodec.hlgaming.com/images/dilltommy.jpg

which I think looks much better than the sight on the default tommy.

irfoist
07-03-2004, 03:07 PM
thats how ive done them. the answer to your question is YES i will/have done them like that.

I found these pics which kind of shows the rear sights. I hope they help:)

can you guys make the metal smooth with the engravings on the side. Because rigid nasty uneven metal makes me mad and unhappy. I think it was marksmans or dillingers that was somewhat smooth and had a strap!!!

hmm, if your talking about dodec, that would be great :)

richy, i think its ok in size? if its smaller it looks out of scale.

Will be my new thompson once i get a hold of it. Good Job to the both of you. I can't wait to skin this thing. I hope it comes with a high resolution mesh ;)

splinter, i hope its a nice high res mesh. i aint the best uvmapper so if its wrong or not high res, then i can try to enlarge it.

and atm i think its on marzys animations that he did for his 3.1 thompson, i havent seen splinters, i will have a look for them on dodec.

The backsites are too large IMO, maybe scale them down abit.

well i think its finished and ready for skinning. this file contains the w, v and p models and a few ref pics.

my poor uv mapping skills made for a bit of it to be stretched but it should be ok. hope to see some good skins :)

Attention to skinners :eek:

i am going to redo the mesh for the main.bmp bit of the thompson, to stop blurring and stretching cos then allthe skins will look ugly. So bear with me they should be fixed soon :)
