Another model I've done (in fact my second model:) ) . It's a sten with a wooden butt .

If anyone could animate it and skin it for me it could be great.


PS : Take a look at my grease gun too. :D

pic...

last pic...

is the barrel supposed to be that fecking long?

It´s probably because the HL engine warps models, and without a long barrel the gun would look warped in game. Just look at the standard dod models to see what I mentioned. They´re stretched.

Are you sure you learned that off me??

I draw the gun on that image.,the barrel seems long to me too.

But I still got to work on it.

You did make it too long, i would cut 1/6 of its current size now off.

Looks great, but the mag looks alittle small...

Here we go shorter barrel and longer mag.

Is it better?

Much Better...

Although, I don't weapon skin...

But I'm sure Polygon or Russ are willing to take a shot or all the rest of the Awsome Weapon skinners around here...

it would need to be meshed first.

Looks like the one i made a while back.

You could try asking Russ to skin it as he did a great job reskinning the default sten.

Ska

I'll be happy to give this a go, if you post the meshes :)

thanks a lot for your advices, guys. It will help.

@Dilliger: here they are, I put it in different formats. I hope I didn't make to much mistakes that could prevent from meshing...:(

in 3DSM format...

in asc format

plz mesh it...

i really want to skin it...

Did anyone else even realize this model is 4600 polies?

Remake it with...

Less stacks
Less slices
Don't ever boolean on a model unless you are very experienced
Not everything needs to be modeled in
Keep the polycount under 2000

well, by today's standards and with today's high end machines, most people can handle 3000+ poly weapons. 4600 is pushing it though

4600 is ridiculous, and then you add the 1000 poly hands. I'm not try to be mean in spirit, but a lot of the people on these forums don't model, and just go, "That looks great, release!" It leaves a bad impression that polycounts like that are okay to people who are just starting out.

i know what youre trying to say, and you would know since youre a great modeler. most people dont care how large the poly count is, but it is a major factor in the model. in this model specifically, he could take out the holes in the barrel jacket and using transparencies.

Or not make 20 slices on every cylinder. I should start modelling more :(

you should :\
whyd you ever stop, you made great models that id be blessed to get my hands on to skin.

I was banned for nearly a year and about two months in I was told to have people stop posting my work for me, so there was no longer a point.

i remember :\

whats wrong with having a high poly count?

its unnecessary.

There's nothing wrong with a high polycount, it's wether or not it's worth the ammount of detail in the model. When you can get the same detail using less polys and clever modeling and texturing, then there's no need to make it so high.

You don't bog down peoples computers so you can have a groove in some knob no one can see and can be skinned in anyhow.

K thanks

Yes I know about the huge polycount...

Now I'm trying to animate and skin it, just have some skins to do and its done.

I had to use milkshape and I realize how generous I was with the polys, I fact I've use the polygone reducing tool and I reduce by 80%, with no real change, so the polycount it now about 1200. :D

Snoogans.

Now it just needs to be meshed, skinned, and animated.

Dillinger and Glimsharp! Get on it!

if its a decent mesh ill skin.

if there would be a .mdl with a good mesh i would skin it too

Time for me to get my animation tools ready eh ?

:)

you could save about 600 polys using transparansies(SP o_O) :P

mesh?

Here we go, I had to restart nearly everything because it was too buggy to be compiled.

I've spend my afternoon trying to compile my other model (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13110)
see the result :D ...

By now the MKII must be ready to be skinned and animated.

1730 vertices
2276 triangles
It's a little bit high :) but it could be done

the file in ms3d format+ the UV skins
