Can some1 convert it to DoD?

I'd kill for that, I would litterally shoot someone in the face if need be, to motivate someone to convert this.

If someone does convert that they should scale it up a bit because ingame it's extremely small.

Thats a counter strike model.

Biggest waste of polygons I have EVER seen in my life. You can just use the tranceparency (sp?) and it will look like that just with a MUCH better skin. That thing is ugly as hell. 13k polys.. You have got to be kidding me. :rolleyes:

Yep if you look they tell you its a CS model the one that your talking about at least.

Old news bud, its been posted before

look at the meshes, its the dod skin :X

if it were to be half decent itd need to be remeshed and reskinned.

I'm thinking about converting this but with some edits. I won't use those bullets since they're 600 polies or so a piece. I'll also put on the vent holes with transparency from DoD to cut down on a ton more polies. I'm thinking that alone would make this model a ton more bearable in terms of polycount.

or you could just use the medium model so its the same model but not as high poly.

What happened back then?

Why must you play with my feelings??!?!

leave this to me and my little band of fools :), weve already started

OK, this'll shoot people's FPS to hell. HL2 player models are around 3k for pete's sake!

Excellent , the news animation of shooting is great .
I wait for a convertion.

If you want a nice MG-42 go to the dod editing center.

Download the 'mg-42 surprise' file I think it is called. It is a very sexy skin in more ways than one. ;)

Download it to see what I mean. The mg-34 surprise is also nice.

um...

omg naked lady D;

Yeah, but that was a blurry reskin, i did better, maybe Editor should host it.

And as for conversion, dont worry about, and be aptient, theres a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you nice folks dont get to see, and when the curtain rises, you'll be knocked to the floor.

Sounds good to meh :) Hope, ya get it soon... :D

Funny, I was attempting this last night but I gave up due to frustration and laziness, and the fact that I had no real clue of what I was doing. Looking forward to you experts to release this, and, you know, with a litle lower poly count. :)

bump :)

Animation is really good , I wait for dod conversion

Iku, where did you get that comic from your sig?

I make them myself.

This is really cool. That model looks great I have always thought the MG42 need a face lift. The current one just looks out of place with the rest of the weapons.

Has any here played Wolfenstein Enemy Territory? The MG42 in that game looks slick.

RtcW:ET's mg42 is realistic vis a vis than other weapon in game , with a sort of iron sight and small FOV.

I hope that this model of mg will be converted for dod soon :)

Going back to the first post in this topic and that MG42 model.

I know nothing about modelling, but as for converting it, too many polys, CS or Firearms model and all the other discussion. If you look in the link for the Forum thread he supplied it says right at the top:

Tahdah - not for HL polycount is a tad too big weights in at 4000 unoptimised - with optimisation it will be around 3200

So can it even BE converted?

HL can do 3200 polies. Some of my Black Knights were 3800+.

With that in mind and considering HL2's player models will apparently be between 3000 and 5000 polies, and HL1's models were between 100 and 700 [500?] polies, just how much higher can HL2 go? ;) Heeeeeeeee... I'm all giddy.

Maybe use new transparency system to decrease poly count

nice model, nice skin, just needs to be made higher and wider, about twice what it is now, maybe a touch longer, but not much.

13K polys? Well that's a waste. Plus, how much of an ******* thing is that to pimp something on a forum then tell everyone you won't release it. 'Hey, I just want to show off how great a modeller I am! Course I won't be releasing this model, but hey, that means you get to see how big an ******* I am!'

Oh yeah, and that moron saying you can model anything out of transparencys is a ****tard who hasn't got a clue. :p
