I know i know, i have an SVT, a garand pack, and a player reskin to release, but i cant control myself from skinning. I need help. Someone?

Another pic, as usual.

very shiny, maybe a little to shiny...

Yeah i agree it's maybe a little over highlighted in places, but apart from that i think this skin is looking good, your getting better by the minute...:).

Don't know if you have this link, but it's got some nice ref pic's that might help you out.

http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg33-e.htm

Keep it up......:).

I like it! It may be shiny but shinyness makes the world go round. Post a link when its done :)

Wow, finally a nice MG42! :D

I think the shininess is fine, what I don't like about every MG42 out is how dull and boring they are.

i think that mg 42 looks pukka! that shineyness is really nice, it looks so smooth. do this one first :p

Looks teh secksay

LOVING IT!

im lovin it too

Thnx guys, ill try and get In-game pics later.

I need help. Someone?

I've got the perfect cure... Mail me your Hard Drive ;)

On a lighter note, Nicely done, Me likes.

Heyas--like the MG42--however, are you going to use the default bullets?

Some modelling questions aswell--wait, I'll post this in the main forum .:P

Good MG42 btw :)

In-game pic #1

pic #2

Laste but not least #3....sorry for the crappy pic guys, had to keep it down in order to attatch it.

I also need to attatch more bullets on the belt since the new origin is far back like its supposed to be.

Nice work bud you shuld take the handfeed mg42 thats realy better.

mmm, all your sexual shiney goodness!

meh, it looks as if the barrel is 1/4 of the gun :eek:

looks ok. A little too shiny for me....but what bothers me the most is the fact that I miss the left hand alot.

would be nice to have the left hand "resting" on top of the gun, like Sushi did for the mg34.

perhaps that'll cover up the fact that the belt isn't very long.

By the way, thnx for the Link Marzy, thats helping me out alot. :)

Wow looking real nice sp|inter;)

I like what you've done so far, I don't think it's too shiny myself, but I'd have to see it in-game to make a final decision about that. So far though it looks like a worthy replacement for Bot's MG42 texture that I've been using.

Hey trigger i posted 3 pic of in-game screenies earlier, might wanna check that out :)

I cant decide what to do with the skin, half of the people think its too shiney, but then again the other half thinks its alright. i have a dilemma here. :(

It looks great the way it is sp|inter...it can never be too shiney

Thnx Brutal, appreciate it, since its coming from one of Gods of skinning :p *blushes*

Anyway, im hoping someone could maybe aniamte a left hand on top of the MG like the one Sushi and Glimsharp did. As we all know i cant animate for sh**. :)

Updated pic :)

No prob's........:), pleased they helped.

I think your making a real good job of this, i like it...:).

Looking at those ingame pic's it does not look quite as shiny, and more like the real thing. The only thing that looks a little to shiny going off those pic's i linked you to, is the hinges, they look a little over highlighted to those shown in the pic's. You might also won't to think about lifting the lighting a little more, not a lot on the backsides of the sights, and maybe try highlighting the edges a little on them if possible, just to try and bring out the detail some more.

Great stuff keep it up.........:).

nice.

About that hand thing I mentioned earlier, is that possible?

wow sp|inter it looks great. good work

Dying Robot, it is possible.
When i find an aniamtor that is up for the job, then it will be possible :)

Finally a good MG42 skin. You should use my High poly bullets on there, it would really complete it. Check the link in my sig.

BTW Could do matching P&Ws, Preferably with the slit on the right hand side for removing the barrel.


Edit: one observation, the holes in the barrel sleeve are a bit over sized. This is true for the default skin as well, makes the barrel sleeve look a bit flimsy IMO.

AH thnx grain, it looks much better wit hyour bullets. AS for the holes on the barrel, im not even going to touch it. I spent most of the time on it. I hate working with transparencies, and its on a barrel too, which is the most thing i hate. :)

Anyways, heres the pic(s).

Last but not least.

Yey for the skin, Nay for the reorigin.

-Mort.

Well, i think my current origins is the right way it was held. Im lookin for accuracy here. :)

I've attatched a comparison showing mine and DoD's.
I think the only way the DoD origins is so far up close is to hide the small amounts of bullets on the belt, therefore making it look "more" when up close. :rolleyes: . I dunno, i may be right or i maybe wrong on how it was held when fired. But i like the origin i put, plus mine feels good when mowing down the allies. :D

So i stand by my origins :p

Lighting looks great to me ingame, I say stick with the shinyness, if people don't like it there are other textures to choose from. The one thing I would have commented on would have been the bullets, but I see you've replaced them already and I think it's really improved the overall look of the gun. I'm looking forward to trying it out myself once it's released.

Sorry Splinter, but the origins you used make the gun look like the barrel is only 1/4 of the whole gun.... it looks stretched ;x

I think the standard origins are fine. I like the skin, but the origins are bad.

I think the concept of your origins if a fine idea, but it doesn't seem to work out real well imo. Perhaps in needs more fov or something. Oh well, i'll just re origin the sucker if i cant get used to it. And as for the left hand thing, can't you just import the animations from sushi's mg34 onto it? Which would require little or no *animating*, just importing. But then again, I don't know what i'm talking abou.t Just an idea.

Splinter, perhaps you should also reskin the bullets and links, the darker color doesn’t fit with the light skin.

that mg 42 is ****ing kick ass just a thought is there a P and W for it too?

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Yeah well splinter i can understand the problem with dod's origin but i think the mesh gives out a real poor resolution for the mg42's body, also there are lots of parts that might look better when modeled such as springs for example.

anyway it's not a big deal, the main issue here is the skin and i think it looks awesome ;]

looking hawt splinter....get this out asap...its gonna be the best mg42 out there ;)

Nice work mate, what animations you putting on it?

@ kfnguy, love the wee disclaimer on your sig lol

just trying to not get flamed :p

any update on this? I was thinking it was gonna be great so im looking forward to something

same goes for ur allied infantry...im looking forward to those as well

Could you/someone animate it so he holds the back of the gun like the 3 arm bren version.

This looks really nice, I havent changed my mg42 skin since 1.0, this just might make me change :D

Sorry i forgot all about this. It seems that Editor321 gave me a proposition i couldnt refuse, Im waiting for the go to release it with a big surprise.


I will have updates later this weekend.
:)

:D :D :D

Hanging on the edge of my seat...

OK it’s been a while, where are the updates?

I was planning on releasing the German weapons pack today, but my host (Editor) has been gone for the past month. Can ya guys wait for a little while? :o

how about you find a host who is a bit more often online and reliable? Nothing against editor, but he´s rarely to be seen nowadays here afaik.

DoDEC and Dodmaps.com offer hosting as well.

i could host them for you if you want, add me on msnm [ bencurnow123@hotmail.com ]or find me in #dodec if you want to.

You can upload things to angelfire or geocities with temp bandwidth and ask from hosters to get it first and provide a link.

or send it to speirs@dodec.hlgaming.com !

omgz send to dodec i neeeeeeeeed this

You obviously have access to your host now, seeing as you recently released to new guns (MP40, STV40) so what’s the hold up?

the offer i gave splinter requires that we wait for one last person to do something..... *cough*marzy*cough*

but since this is mysterious, i tell you nothing!

btw if marzy is reading the email that i check most often is: editor321@beakshy.com

omg new anims :D errrr enhanced model?

:confused:

Please release, I'm drooling!!!!

LOS LOS LOS!!! :D

Sadly, this will not be released with the new model since Marzy couldn't do the animations. i know he has alot to do so its ok.

This will be released with the default DoD model and the skin itself has been darkend. As soon as editor gets on AIM. ill give him the ZIP for hosting.

:)

Oh heres a pic.

can you give us a pic of the "new model" :confused:

editor's on aim, los los los :D
