Heres a little joint project between me and my brother (aka I_r_Foist). We decided to model a thompson.

Heres the wip. Most if it is done tbh, except for the obvious gap in it which is the next bit.

Any comments are welcome, if anything is wrong please say why.

Hope you like it so far, Doydy and Foist.

Can't wait! Please keep the models coming! I'm getting tired of all these reskins!

EDIT

Not sure if your planning to add this later but you missed the little round peg thingy on the back of the thompson's main body.

looking verry nice so far, once it's complete and uv mapped etc id like to skin it.

Very good guys, you two keep up the good work.

[edit] sorry for the wacky render... couldnt resist.

Cant wait for this baby to be skinned, make it war-torn plzzz:D

So is this when they started to do a clip instead of a barrel for battle versions:confused:

im not sure what your talking about. do you mean a drum rather than a magazine? i thikn the drums are ugly as sin, so we went for the magazine instead :)

I mean did they use this tompson before the final verison, this looks like when they were leaving the drum desgin:confused:

says it all tbh. the drum mag was kinda a gangsta thing wasnt it? i dunno.

any way, back to the model and feedback. if there is any

Both the drum and stick mag were used depending on the country and theatre i think.

Anyway. This is coming on extremely nicely foist. You and doydy are to be commended on this promising looking weapon.

Commended with a great skin, Brut? ;)

I'm rellay looking forward to seeing some great skins on this model. Keep up the work Teh Modelling Bros.11!!1!1

roger that SB ;)

i have been trying to get the area near the ejection port correct, its bloody hard to understand and get in detail, but i think i got it now. the fact that i missed out a few bits and had to go back and redo them on the area was a little annoying.

looks good but from pics ive seen it looks rounder in general, i think it follows the shape of the barrel.

One question, are you planning to do the rear sight like markman's tommy or like the dev teams?

I like this thompson. :D

i take it this model won't be fov'ed?

I hate the POV fix. :\

yes we are, i haven't got round to it yet.

yes, it will. it wont need much fov because its pretty short, but it will have a little. this is, if we feel it needs it.

ive put some back sights on. erm. is the thing in the middle too short or long? cant get a ref puc of that :/ feedback...?

http://server6.uploadit.org/files/IrFoist-Foist_tommy_sights.JPG

No you seemed to not understand my question, I wanted to know if you were going to do the rear sight like it is in this pic

http://dodec.hlgaming.com/images/dilltommy.jpg

which I think looks much better than the sight on the default tommy.

thats how ive done them. the answer to your question is YES i will/have done them like that.

I found these pics which kind of shows the rear sights. I hope they help:)

Ah a real anwser, thank you:D

OMG....*drool*
Amazing work. All you gotta do now is have a nice skin and a sling and voila. A MASTERPIECE...

it wont have A nice skin...




Its gonna have 2! (Brut and rotz)

erm they are kinda different sight to what im going to have but i might use those pics.

hey i got an update. erm sights are completely new, like brut showed me.

http://server6.uploadit.org/files/IrFoist-tommy1.jpg

Right on, good stuff.

I'd like to skin this in my spare time aswell. :)

i would love u to skin it. we will see what happens.

can you guys make the metal smooth with the engravings on the side. Because rigid nasty uneven metal makes me mad and unhappy. I think it was marksmans or dillingers that was somewhat smooth and had a strap!!!

wow now that is looking marvelous!

:eek:

Looking great. One thing... I'm going to have to choose between 3 skins now :(

Bump :)

RELEASE RELEASE RELEASE I WANT MEH TOMMEH!!!

Id much rather have a mini tommy instead of a look a like. That's me though! Looks nice.

ok ok, i am going to work on the mesh today hopefully. i have been very lazy recently, and meshing is not really that much fun. :rolleyes:

GJ lads, need hosting or a mirror?

hmm, if your talking about dodec, that would be great :)

heres a hlmv preview, it looks boring because the lighting is real crappy in hlmv. i am trying things a different way around in this model, i am compiling then uvmapping. i got the idea from marzys wip thread :) ty

http://server6.uploadit.org/files/IrFoist-tommymv1.jpg

could you put the hand on the foregrip more onto the grip? theres kinda a hole in there atm

make the part in the back smaller. its too big. i mean the aiming thing.

:eek: I think I'm in love...........

this any better rotz? i hope the uv is not too stretched either.

richy, i think its ok in size? if its smaller it looks out of scale.
http://server6.uploadit.org/files/IrFoist-ref11.jpg

i guess i gotta "use" it to see for myself. *cough*

Will be my new thompson once i get a hold of it. Good Job to the both of you. I can't wait to skin this thing. I hope it comes with a high resolution mesh ;)

Do it on Splinter's realistic Thompson anims! :D :cool:

-Captain Dan

splinter, i hope its a nice high res mesh. i aint the best uvmapper so if its wrong or not high res, then i can try to enlarge it.

and atm i think its on marzys animations that he did for his 3.1 thompson, i havent seen splinters, i will have a look for them on dodec.

If frank uses it ill give it a try, might have better luck taking him down on railroad:D

The backsites are too large IMO, maybe scale them down abit.

thats what richy said, so obviously it is too big. i will make it a little smaller.

i like it... the white partzs arent too stretched anymore (did you change, or am i just stupid?)

looking good :D
althought the back sight is a bit too big...

nope i havent changed it, you must be stupid :p

well i think its finished and ready for skinning. this file contains the w, v and p models and a few ref pics.

my poor uv mapping skills made for a bit of it to be stretched but it should be ok. hope to see some good skins :)

OMG SKIN SKIN SKIN IT!!!! I WANTS IT I NEEDS IT!!! MY PRECIOUS!!!

Yes please do:eek:

:eek: Someone get this thing skinned!

I plan to skin it after i get a few mod things out of way and the k98:)

Splinter is in the process of it now.

nice. finally its started, nice work, cant wait for them all to be done.

Attention to skinners :eek:

i am going to redo the mesh for the main.bmp bit of the thompson, to stop blurring and stretching cos then allthe skins will look ugly. So bear with me they should be fixed soon :)
