Hmm,

So I've been making a few map models for 1.2. The Waco you know about already.

Anyway, Fuzz asked me to make some trees...

In a fit of something currently unknown to medical science I made a MDL containing sexeh looking pine trees for a forest map. Think is the MDL had 48 sub-models in it :-/

And me and my obsession for the little details...

I just finished up making a set of deciduous trees - one maple, one generic type tree. Always looking for the little details I just spent an hour ****ing around in Milkshape animating ickle lickle leaves periodically floating down out of the branches onto the ground.

Yes, I confess - HL2 is delayed because of me. They dont want to quit HL1 yet until I've run out of wierd little things to try. :rolleyes:

I know, but FuzzDad didn't tell me untill today. He just said to put them all together in one MDL. And why are we whispering?

Well I don't mind if you manage to delay HL2, with all the models you're doing DoD 1.2 will be just as pretty. :D

And yeah, I slip into detail-freak mode at times, I spent a few hours the other day hacking a 3D button onto all the v_ model Brit sleeves, but I ended up partially remeshing and reskinning it, then adding tiny 4-pixel buttonholes, then adjusting the mesh more to centre them, then edited the sleeve skin to blend with the button more, then hacked it onto all my models, then took them ingame and remembered the button is usually on the underside of the sleeve ingame and not generally visible. Oh well. :p

Sounds good Jed, as you know i'm the same when it comes to detail, i've yet to make a low poly model.....lmao.

How about a squeral running around the branches, that keeps making the leafs fall, we need wildlife, if i ever get back to mapping, there will be wildlife...:).

Of course...when I asked him to put the subs in one model i didn't expect

4 f'ing 8


...lOLOLoLOloll1o1l1ol1...But...they are great models of high quality and poly counts acceptable...and beggars can't be choosy

LOL. Well I wanted to give you plenty of options ;)

And those bloody fir trees in some maps really bug me - I live in Sweden, anywhere I look there a bloody fir tree! I know what they should look like ;)

Still I figured the "reclining" ones might spawn some more ideas for sniper spots.

Nice!

Just a question though... why would Allied or Axis troops be cutting down trees? Those look like clean cuts to me, not breaks due to explosions.

*runs away, for being picky!*

Hey, I made both seasons too keep you lot happy. Better to have the option right?

And yes, the trees in those pics are cut down - not EVERYONE was fighting in the war, some people still did their jobs. There are two versions though, chopped down and blown down and seperate stumps too.

The main reason for adding the felled trees was to give some variety and offer up some more options for sniping spots. The space under those tree branches overs some cool camo. :)

Getting rid of alot of the trees, rocks, etc, but hopefully I can find replacements that fill the place up without "epoly hell"
