Nice start BruT, although if i was you i would of used glimmy's and my bren or the default enhanced one from my para pack. Each has had the transparent textures removed, so the rear sight and mag release catch are modeled instead, plus each has a enhanced magazine which is a bit rounder, just thought i would mention it, but the choice is yours......:).

By the way brut. Sorry for going off-topic here, but that muzzle flash in ur sig from that FG-42 is huge! :D Looks like a flame-thrower


Very nice.

Oh, good lighting on the metal so far. :)

Well the latest release in the para pack has like i say had a few minor tweaks, although it is using low res skins, they are still the default meshes. If you won't just send me the meshes you have there and ill add them to the model and email it back to you.

Indeed, they really detract from the models when they're starched stiff.

oh well, he's changing to MaRzY's enhanced bren w/o the sling

acctualy i prefer a sling any way, animated or not but if someone could only be animting those... it would have been wonderful.

It's a spanking good skin mate, but honestly I'm getting a bit bored of "darker" type skins.

Try experimenting with a lighter grayish type of gun-metal next time.

;)

I 'spose its dark cause its a HLMV pic. I guess I prefer the default/dillinger colour style for the Bren :/

A skin doesn't have to be black to be dark.

Ohwell, its a HLMV pic anyway, they are always darker than ingame.

Brutal

I realy dont know how you find it dark, its not dark at all. btw what do u mean it doesnt have to be black to be dark?

Looking good BruT, although the Mag looks a little off in colour, and the darker looking metal in the middle looks a little too dark compared to the rest of the Bren. Also some more highlights on the edges i think would look better, like around the mag catch and mag housing and rear sight.

I've sorted out some pic's that might help you see what i mean, hope you don't mind.


Mag colour (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sonofroy/bren/bren-mag.jpg)
Bren 1 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sonofroy/bren/Bren-rearsite-s.jpg)
Bren 2 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sonofroy/bren/bren03.jpg) Bren 3 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sonofroy/bren/handle.jpg)

hmm ive taken your advice into account marzy, I tried to re-colour the mag but it ended up looking to crapy so i think i might leave that as it is, as the for the rest of it, i might just increase the contrast a bit, make the highlights stand out more.

Brutal
04-20-2004, 10:47 AM
FINISHED!:D ;)

heres a couple of pics.

...Add a sling and I'll freak out.

In terms of how it's visible from the V_view, it's fantastic. Your use of highlights on the edges is what I was talking about in Bots' resurrection of Marksman's MP40.

You've gotten quite good and I'm pleasantly surprised that your early determination hasn't let up one bit. Good job. Keep it up.

Good skin. I wanna see anims for this where the guy holds it by the handle which is pointing diagonally straight out and down. Like in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
