Ok so basically what i did was take Ls3's body and stick the default bolt on it. for two reasons:

1. the body kicks ass

2. the meshes on ls3's carbine were so ****ed up, it wasent even worth taking a shot at skinning.

devin also remeshed the back part for me so that the metal doesent look like smeared play-doe.

and this is the result, i must say im pretty happy with it :)

Very nice work as usual Russ.

it will, im going to have someone with a good video card take pictures for me, that way i dont have people telling me my carbine is 'low rez'

as for origis im going to try my garand origins on this, see how it comes out. other than that, what kind of origins are you guys looking for?

i like shoulder origins, but I can do that myself :)

is the wood smudgy like that? or is it just the img quality

i got a geforce 3 ti500. send it my way and i ll host it and test it free of charge for you :D

good work russ.


I have ATI Radeon 9700 if you want a good video card to take pics with.

Ok update its done, i just gotta apply this to the para version.

im having a bit of a dilemma though. the transparency trick ruins textures, and the part that needs the transparencey is on the whole metal texture. meaning the gun would look like crap if i put it on. so for the sake of a better looking gun i could just make that area black. or do you all need that little hole to be see through. let me know now, because if you dont im going to release it as it is.

Carbine update (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/carbinerussskinmine.jpg)

picture doesn't seem to work... but I would prefer it without the hole if it is going to ruin the rest of the gun.

Or, you can make the sight a new subgroup, duplicate the texture, edit and apply it to the sight and make that transparent....

pic does not work for me also....I would try what eng. said, and if that doesnt look better, than do it without the hole because that small part isnt worth ruining the textures, etc as a whole.

couldnt you just model it in??

How does the transparency **** up the skin?

Carbine collector here to help you out.
on the rear of the receiver it'll have the makers name and under it the serial number.

Example :
Winchester
15319153

Example 2 :
National
Postal Meter
15319153

Choose the name and numbers you want ....
Inland , Saginaw , National Postal Meter , Winchester , Rock-Ola (I'd choose Rock-Ola , but I'm biased) , Quality Hardware , Standard Products , IBM , Underwood , and Saginaw of Grand Rapids.

On the recoil plate (piece at the rear of the receiver that's on the stock) , It'll have simple makers markings. Don't worry about 'em.
If you choose any manufacturer besides Rock-Ola , you wouldnt make it out in game.

Could you reorigin this to make it shoulder view?

I would love you forever if you could, I'm using Jajahu's 3.1 shoulder view carbine which is great but a bit smudgy and not so good looking.

Don't even bother to ask the original author to modify something.

Should've hacked apart Nomad/Polygon's Carbine, better in all aspects, and are more likely not to mind a hackjob.

Looks great Russ, you doing a folding stock version too? (sorry if someone already asked this, im too lazy to go back and read all the posts lol)

Thanks for the compliment :)

I've stopped caring what people do to my old models as long as they give me credit, no one really asked anyhow.

As for this skin, the metal doesn't work well with the wood.

i, for one always ask people before i use something, but i dident even know you still hung around this community anymore Ls3. i mean in the old forums you dident allow your models out for anything. it would take days for you to release a completed model, remember the BAR?

so i apologize. had i known that you still were actually active in the DOD community, let alone registered here i would have asked. if you dont want me to release it thats fine. ill go work on something else.

and about the transparency. you can even ask bots about it, he had to remsh the sten because the transparency would make the skin all pixelated. and unless someone can mesh one dividual blue circle.. then itll have to be black. its not that noticeable anyway.

Like someone already said, why not just model it in?

do you still model, nomad?

im not sure if you can model it in.. i can try though..

btw im glad some of you like the skin, this is only my.. 4th weapon skin ive made? im trying to get better. im better at doing player model skins and such. if anyone has any tips for me, that would be great.

and Ls3 has given me the green on this model so i can release it. sry again about before.

*Sighs*

I've honestly been trying hard to get back into it, but I don't know if the drive is there anymore. I still can, but I don't know if I will.
