Here it is, a new garand, ready for your textures. It's the same garand that I released before, but now, it's compiled into a mdl. You can use it in-game as-is, but the texture is the uv map.

-Download- (http://www.geocities.com/trigger3945/v_garand.zip) v1.4

Get it while it lasts, the bandwith is sure to be exceded soon.

Ahhh thank u so verry much Trigger, ill spend hours of fun skinning this great new model:D

Some of these textures seem to be of a strange resolution, such as the uv maps and the sleeves, and the 8 round box clip. I suspect someone forgot to add the $cliptotextures line to their qc file, that would account for the texture croppage. For the sake of all the skinners who want to skin this, give them the model with its fullsize bmps/UVmaps, recompile this.

Until then, I suggest no one else download this, spare Trigger's bandwidth for when he fixes it.

can someone post some textures and stuff?

Well im skinning this by simply pasting the texture over the mesh and editing in photoshop...i dont know any other way:D

can u show me something that u have done?

this is my last skin

i mean the BMP for triggers garand

I can't believe I forgot something so simple. There's going to be about a dozen versions of this thing before I get it right. I've fixed it, but I'll have to wait until my bandwith resets to upload the fixed version. I'll edit the first pose when I do.

trigger mate do u have the BMP of the guy who skinned the stock in your first thread?

Trigger can you release the bayonete Garand in mdl form? :p

Ok, it's fixed, everyone who downloaded before, do it again for the fixed garand, I fixed the texture sizes as well as a uv mapping error that I just caught. I don't want a bunch of different versions out there, because it will get confusing, so be sure and use this one.

*edit - Toejam, it does have a bayonet, so download and have fun. Although, I must admit it looks odd for him to swing the stock around to hit someone when he's got that perfectly good bayonet there, maybe someone will re-animate this one.

This has got a bayonet on it.

Y'know, i dont want to rain on your parade, um, again, but for anyone who knows how to decompile a model, or Trigger if he wants to update his zip, these meshes can be muhc larger than the 512 side. The way this works is that the max amount of pixels allowed in a models' bmp is 1024. Hence, every 512 x 512 texture cant get bigger. But when its 512 x 308, it could get bigger, as 512 + 308 < 1024. And the bigger the bmp, the higher quality a skin you can get.

lol devin....well at the moment we dont have a skin

Yeah, have fun with that.

Well if I ever finish this, it'll be my first complete skin, I think I'll finish, It's looking good.

Tell me what you guys think.....

Picture (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/143896785673bnfgdfdm.jpg)

My only problem is that in-game it gets shaded orange or somthing because it looks, well, more orange and less red-wood.

Ideas?

That looks awesome mate...heres wat i have so far....Are u making the metal for yours?
If so could i use ur metal? i will put the credits in for release:D

Yeah I'm going to be making my own metal. As of right now the entire model is skinned, not detailed yet. I have a NYC size garbage truckload of work to do, scratches/darken/brighten,sharpen,text,edit out the mesh lines etc etc.

For my metal I just did a cloud effect in photoshop. make a square marqee shape. Get a dark gray, a light gray for ur colors, go to filter/render/clouds and then go to filter/artistic/sponge. put them all to "1" then do a light gaussian blur.

It gives you a very basic metal texture as u can see in my screenshot but I'm going to be tinkering and editing it a lot.

Newer picture (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/garand134567894567890456789.jpg)

ah k kool, might try that, all though the method i usually use for metal is burn it, dodge it then sponge it but yeh...How do you skin your models?...do u just paint over it in photoshop and import with hlmv or do you do it with milkshape or sumthing like that?:D

Yeah I paint in photoshop then import w/ hlmv.

ah kool, thas the way i do it.:D

btw that link to the picture didnt work

Anyone wanna put the default garand skin on this garand model? I'd appriciate it very much! :D

Phokus, I guess I could give it a try, assuming the meshes arnt too different...

Brut. I just tried the links, they work for me.

Ah k the links all of a sudden mysteriously started working, neway that looks like that will be nice when its all done...i just had a bit of play with making a metal for mine but just looks like a dull sydney suburban train with graphiti...excuse the lame joke.
So would i be able to use your metal by any chance when you have finished?:D

You can use it if your really desperate lol. My base texture metal is just a very pale weak color I'm using to fill in the blanks and then I'll fine tune it later.

I noticed in-game, after I put in the "US Rifle" text on the reciever (?) it looked fine in HLMV but in-game it's kinda blurry. It's not terrible as you can still read it but I'm just kinda wondering why that happened....

Thanx Genie :D ur the koolest, im not ready for metal yet hehe specially when i only have a bunch of lines to work off. oh well thanx again:D

Thanks genie, and if you cant get it to work then ill be lookin forward to everyone else's skins! :D

Yeh with hlmv it smooths it i think, i have no idea y.

I was just tinkering around w/ my skin and I was about to put in the rear IS adjustment wheels (don't know the name:p ) But I couldn't find them on the mesh. So i just start placing red bars on the skin till I find out where the texture should go. Well, as it turns out, the texture used for the breech (I think that's right) is one continuous texture. The problem is that if you try and squeeze in the texture for the knobs, you will see it quite openly, on the back of the gun, I got a screen shot to show u all what I mean.

problem is the thin red line (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/12ablaablhaaflack.jpg)

yea i came across this problem and just didn't add the wheel etchings. ;)

wow, I like both of the wood textures you came up with! gj!!

Ok, I fixed the uv map for you guys and updated the zip, so download once again.

Maybe I'm not seeing it properly, but I placed my skin over the new mesh u made (layers in photoshop) and they look identical. Are you sure you updated w/ the right file or am I not looking close enough.....:confused:


EDIT

I looked at the wireframe of the new model you released. I think you messed it up. The back metal part. (where it's stamped US RIFLE etc etc) is all crunched up onto the "mesa" of the metal.

You understand that at all?

Ok, I forgot to update the texture, but the uv map has changed.

For hopefully the last time, I've updated the zip with the new uv maps. I also enlarged the textures as per Devins suggestion.

can u guys like release soemthing. Is anyone else liek dilinger working on this?

R3aveR- I'll be releasing mine very soon, I'm about, oh say, 80% done. Need to complete the rear sight adjusters and finish skin touch-ups. If I can't solve the studiomdl texture miss-alignment I'll release it w/ the small glitch. It's not even notacible in-game, un less your gamma is at radiation level. :p

Genie will you be putting Bayonete stab animations on it?

sweet as geni mate

Genie will you be putting Bayonete stab animations on it?

uuuuuuuuh

/thinks

If memory serves me right, to make the stab animations look best, I would have to reassign the bones in milkshape right? I don't know if you can just copy the kar's stab smds....I'll look into it tho, I would love some stab-o-matic action.

If you cant do it maybe someone like Klown could :D

and i would just love a skin :)

U should try it R3aveR:D

Is anyoen goign to release thier skin

Ok, you're going to have to relax just a little Reaver, quality textures take time. It will probably be a few days before people get them to a lever of quality that's worthy fo a release.

my skin and compile is already done, I had to remesh it though to get the highest quality wood.

U can use my wood:D:D or could i use your metal?:D

Selbstmord
can u upload your skin plz? i am going insane.

I've got my "preview edition" (not final metal) done. I'm just trying to find a way to set up the rear sight to use a diff. texture so all the metal doesnt get low quality when I puttransparency on.

just send us something lol.

Keep your pants on :p

i can't

Come on guys, we're dying out here!

Dratt, beaten again!

R3aveR, pull up your pants, there we go, thank you, calm down and drink some coke and releax a bit. I'm realeasing my BETA version today.

on a scale, about really 30% completly finished. It's animated/skinned etc but it's not perfect yet but im still going to release the Preview Edition soon. Very soon.......


Well I'm hoping I can finish the ani' w/in 29 days. That's how long I got left on my milkshape trial ROFL.

dont worry about the stab animations.

I'm done messing w/ them for now. Marzy is trying to help me w/ the texture problem. If that can't be solved expect the beta release around tuesday or so, got delayed today.
