Yay - I meshed it myself, it's probably the worst mesh ever made, lets see if anyone can skin from it, or hack on a skin, suit yourself.
Ill put the Default animations on it later.. Bye.

Hey Marks!! Been a while since we've talked. Well, i love ur models, and, im glad i finally have the opportunity to skin one. I had a few minutes to work, so, i got the wood done. BTW, i make all my skins from scratch, so, no downloaded textures were used on the wood, and it probably shows because it doesn't look that great, haha. Well, lemmie know what u think. If u don't like what u see, tell me, and i won't make ur beautiful tommy look bad from my skins ever again. :)

It's better than real wood!

Hell yeah! Amazing work.

Good job learning "meshing"! Constructive criticism: the last mesh has a lot of wasted space. It would be perfect if the handle and the stock were their own meshes.

Cool /me wants

that looks great, MrFu.

:) im skinning this too... just for the practise, since im not such a good skinner

its not finished yet, and some things look the way they arent cuz of the lighting in milkshape

work on your lighting (light source/dodges/burns) and your textures. the holes in the magazine are too big also

can someone put a black metal skin on this baby plz? :D

i like the model, but im not gonna criticize the skins cause i cant skin =/

too bad its not an M1928A1

:D wow Mr. Fu the wood looks awsome. is that like the one you used for your garand? I can't wait till the release.

fianlly a good thompson! i have already started skinning it :D

Two things I noticed you might want to fix Marksman, the forearm should get thinner, height wise, towards the end of the barrel, it's the other way around right now. Forget to flip something back maybe? Also, the selector switches are out a bit too far. That's my only real problem, I hope to see some excellent skins, guys.

here was my go at it....still, simple, just material textures mapped on :) but eh :)

p.s. edited the model JUST a tiny bit :)

Your skin looks a bit bland Preston, I think the metal could use more detail. One thing I always thought looked neat was when a scratched look was 'frosted' onto the metal.

i know what ya mean, im thinking of making it lighter for starters, and changing the wood a tad...but you would be suprised at how simple this skin is if you looked at the mesh lmao :) but yah, i can see what ja saying

Marksman, is there any chance you could release a .MDL version of this? :D

the model looks awsome, and blockbusters skin looks very nice. Just a little request, could someone put a longer barrel on this model (maybe marksman) because I like the look of a tommy which has a prity long barrel after the wooden grip.

Edit for my last post:

Maybe it would be easier just to shorten the wooden grip, so that the barrel is alittle longer :D

like this? or is this to short?

that's perfect man :D I love it, release please!

well this is what ive go so far, but im gonna redo the wood, im not pleased with it. =\

So its actually finished, just one or two more details to make
(like the wierd screw in the stock)
my wood, my metal :D

hey man, it looks great!

will you release a compiled model where we just have to slap our pre-made skins on? :D

This thread remainds me of awhile back, on the old forums. Polygon released a m1 garand, few days later there were like 10 separate threads about re-origins about that same model :eek:

This thread, altough all in the same thread has like 5 or more skins for the same model. All have their positive and negative things on it. New skinners get good critism which they can use to improve from other skinners whom have been doing this for longer.

Great to see this happening on forums, makes me come here more then one time a day.

So here we go,..
i made a new picture cuz on the old one some things looked dislocated like they arent really:

Picceh (http://members.chello.at/uwe.feldbaumer/marks-tommy.jpg)

Edit: Ok,.. I finished the gun some minutes ago so heres the final pic:
The great Picceh the second (http://members.chello.at/uwe.feldbaumer/marks-tommy2.jpg)

I have skinned this, but I don't have any idea how to convert it to a .mdl, and I don't have milkshape or 3DSMax. Could someone please upload the mdl? :) Pretty please?

yeah as shown in my last pic im finished too i just need the model with the animations
