Just something that started out back in 3.1 when Marzy and I were messing with the v_models.

I should be working on the Airborne models but the light metal on the the DoD weapons always bugged the crap out of me.

Anyway, I just started darkening them up and increasing the resolution a bit.

Not really started the back end yet but the muzzle end is done. Wood is default. Scope is the high-poly version Marzy and I did.

Consider this more of a doodle than a WIP.

hehe thats exactly what i consider my stuff :p

Cool, it's got the sleeves too :D It looks nice so far.

It looks great, release already:D

Very, very nice.

Shiny, I want to touch it.

Is that the Scope Marzy was working on or that the default one???

Marzy's scope. Its been around since 3.1 but we never released it.

- Jed

Very good :-)
i'll be waiting ;]

Just like Jed has never liked the default skins, i have always disliked the anim's, with the right hand that looks as big as the rifle when the bolt is pulled back and forth. So i've replaced the right hand bones and sleeve and hand model with smaler one's, and reworked the anim's.

Man isnt metal a pain in the ass to draw in photoshop :(

Wasnt there a WIP back in the day for this scope?

Yeah ages ago.

Marzy and I were planning a big Brit weapons pack but 1.0 came along and things went a bit pear shaped.

So like an idiot I suggest Marzy stick the scope on the Enfield the other day and now I'm stuck doing the bloody metal work.

- Jed

lookin nice...although ive got a enfield that i like...wat i would like to know is where i can get those sleeves that im assuming match ur airborne models which ive been using since u released them

where can i get these sleeves and how to i put them on the model?

Yes i went ahead and stuck the scope on the enfield, and then i thought to myself, we can't release a model, with the right hand looking bigger then the scope and most of the rifle put together. So then i spent the next three days when i found time, to hack the right hand arm bones from the Kar model, and add them using notepad to the enfield. Then i did the same with parts of the Kar anim's, by hacking bits from them and adding them to the enfield anim's. Then i spent the rest of the time reworking the anim's in milkshape, and tweaking a sleeve model just for the enfield.

So belive me it's not been plain sailing for me, since you ask me to add that bloody scope.......lol.

Still i'm sure our efforts will be worth it when we have the finished model.

Yeah I was looking for that scope back in 3.1 Nice to see it will see the light of day.

Anderson

Ah well...

9 Hours of fart-arsing around with one 512x512 box and I've managed to replace one of the textures that makes up the Enfield set.

Sadly its mostly little bits you cant see so you probably wont notice much. Mostly its the magazine, trigger, bolt, bolt handle and the back sight.

I've darkened the texture and tried to lighten the metal around the parts that would get warn the most by handling.

Oh and I re-did the backsight based on a picture I had - even put the WD stamp on it although its obscured.

And I re-did the magazine clip.

It looks loads better in LithUnWrap or Milkshape but HLMV is blurring as usual so excuse the quality of the images - but I wanted to show the transparency.

- Jed

looking great!

Yes, much good comes from Wunderboy and his nemesis\sidekick, Nastyman, or Marzy as he likes to be called.

Where the hell did that come from.........:)

Good job in making the hand smaller on the bolt slide. Lil' things like that is what makes the model more "real".

Tenacious D, man, Wonderboy. You really must hear it to get the full effect.

High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck.
Yeah, yeah.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?

[spoken]
Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman,
archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy.
What powers you ask? I dunno how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
How 'bout the power to move you?

[sung]
History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman,
Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goo.
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold,
And blasting forth with three-part harmony, yeow!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?

[spoken]
Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen,
and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
[sung]
Me! And KG!
[KG (spoken):] That's me.
[sung]
We're now Tenacious D!
Come fly with me, fly!

Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man,
Oh!
[spoken]
Take my hand!
Young Nastyman, and we'll fly!
Bring out your broadsword.
There's the hydra.
Slice his throat!
And grab his scrote.
You take the high road,
I'll take the low.
There, the crevasse,
Fill it with your mighty juice.

Right, I'm just about down now. Bloody metal...

This is my first ever attempt at a weapon skin so be gently. I've never tried metal before. :(

First pic is just a generic shot from Lithunwrap.

- Jed

Next up, with the scope off so you can see the reciever.

- Jed

And last up zoom in on some of the detail...

Not sure about the final texture sizes at the moment it uses about 4 512x512 textures and one 256x256.

I might scale them down to 384x384 to save a bit of memory as it doesnt ruin the textures so much, dont know yet.

Still got some final bits and pieces to tweak before I can release it and Marzy is going to fix some of the anims and put his sleeves on it.

- Jed

Spanking good job Jed. :D

swedish check your pms please :)

I will be using this the day it comes out. Now I need to work on my aim.

spank tha monkey! thats damn nice

Couple of quick in games for you.

I've added the markings to the top of the scope now. I really must stop obsessing over detail.

- Jed

You can see the markings better during re-load.

- Jed

Very nice. I don't see a problem with obsessing over detail...well, as long as it doesn't cause the release of something to take a much longer time :rolleyes:

Anyway, take your time, it's looking great.

Oh its done. Sent it to Marzy. Says he knows a really quick trick for removing unseen faces. Needs it really as with his sleeves and the scope with all the faces its over 3000 polys :rolleyes:

- Jed

Ahh, good news :D

Wowee.

beautiful

I trust there will be a transparent lens aswell :D

Nope. No scope I have ever seen allows you to see through it at that angle due to the way it focuses the image.

There is however a nice little "sheen" effect that moves with the weapon and make it look like glass.

- Jed

Jed you are one "Multi-Purpose" Monkey Wrench...

Keep it up...

- Jed That's good to hear, I thought those transparent lenses looked a bit goofy myself.

sooooo sweet

Indeed, I'm already brewing a new wood texture for this baby, its fresh from my bedroom floor with edits

Jeez bury it before its even dead! I havent even released it and your already talking about re-skinning it! :(

- Jed

i got to say Jed, this is the best sniper model i have seen ( if not the best of any weapon). you are truly a professional at what you do! This is an impulse dl for me and im sure many other people. Not only your weapon skins, but your programs, your player models, your map models, etc are all brilliant! You belong on the dev. team!!!

same goes for you Marzy!!!

- Jed aww. Who said I was gonna use defualt weapon origins :p

But I can live without ;) I'll say kickass skin while I'm here too :D

Soon....

Marzy and I are doing some optimizations because we care so much about your guys and your CPU cycles...

Hey! your the one who thinks too much! ;)

If you'd stop moving UV Maps, worrying about palette optimisation and everything else maybe people wouldn't be fooled into thinking the HL engine is actually "good"!

LOL

CoD made me appreciate no fov so much more.

No sorry, i like it the way it is, and even though some say they de FOV models, the truth is they don't, just editing a FOV model so the end is thinner, is not de FOV, to DE FOV a weapon properly, you would have to edit it so it's to the same scale and shape of the real life weapon. And if you was to do this with a FOV weapon it would stretch the textures, so would need remapping, to make a proper job.

So sorry i'm not your man.......:), i've far to much work on even if i was up for the job anyway.

i understand, i still love you MaRzY you secksey secksey man mans you:D :D :D

Marzy ? Jed ? why did it all stoped ? ;-[
any updates ? im dying to get this one.

Should not be long now, where still waiting for the elf's to finish polishing it, and release it from the caves that run deep, somewhere 4 miles North of Skegness front..

Good because I'm still wanting this one for my own little project. :D
