Yep, DoG is back, and with him a new Browning HP pistol which will replace the Webley for the British. Currently, he is looking for someone to mesh it, so that someone like me can skin it in the future. Comments and suggestions are always welcome:

Very nice overall. Will look marvelous with your skin on.

cheers

Let me think here, I'm learning max now, using Jennifer's IK max rig, I could probably animate it.

When i first noticed you had made a new WIP thread, for a moment i thought my luck was in......:D, oh well i guess it's not my day to day...:(.

Mind you if you had of made my day, i would of meshed that in a jiffy.......lol........:). So think on Polygon "Make my day, then send this model my way"....LMAO.

omfg......DoG!?

good times,happy fregin' day!
to bad my internet will be shut off tomorrow.

DOG????

anywho I would love to see this for the colt also, mike- would do a swell job animating:D

Also I thought I read somewhere you were going to do a tompson next:confused:

Lovely model, i like it a lot and im sure the skin will be great too :)

Heh, I'm actually finishing some work for another project I work on (Insurgency), and afterwards, I'm going to begin DoD custom work starting with your Bren and then a few other projects I had in mind (this being one of them).

It's not a problem mate, i was only kidding with you.....:), and thanks for the info, sounds like we all have much to look forward to from you. I must admit though that i do surf these forums in the hope ill see you start a WIP thread on skinning my Bren, i mean who wouldn't.........:).

But no mate your time is your own not mine, and i'm well aware of that, so please, there will be no pressure from me, only hope.......:).


If you get stuck for a mesher for this model, then email it me, and ill sort it, once i've meshed my Enfield, if that would be good for you.

Yeah, that would work very well. I'll see if I can get him to contact you at some point.

Looking forward to this alot, keep us updated :)

yeah, looks really good. hope you get a nice high poly mesh for it. and poly your skin will no doubt be brilliant. cant wait

Wowee, I guess I will be skinning this right after MaRzY's Enfield.

I'll drop you an email sometime in the near future Marzy.

ill mesh it, mach9139@yahoo.com

damn, i just realised this is the pistol i wanted to model. anyways its very nice, i dont think i could of done so well. add a silencer :p like of mohaa (i think).

Heh. For those of you who wish to skin it, I'm probably going to give poly the exclusive here, I asked him to do it for me. The mesh's will probably be released with the release of the model with poly's skin. Just the way i want to do things.

hehe same.
Anyways, It's great looking, might give it ago myself if i can get thru everthing else that I've been wanting and needing to:P

OMGS Teh DoGgeh D:

i cannae see the piccehs cap'in.

Cheeto just offered to help us with meshing the pistol, so hopefully we'll have some more updates soon.

err, seeing as there has been more than one offer to mesh it(not like the good old days...heh), perhaps anyone who wants to mesh it can, and poly can pick the best mesh to work off of? hes the one skinning afterall....What you think poly?

Any one wishing to mesh this peice please contact me via msn: graeme@ukairsoft.org or via email graeme@digiverse.net MSN preferably :)

Er, as mentioned before, It'd be nice to release it as a Colt .45 also, I mean it fits the .45 so much better aswell...

Very nice looking model btw.

oh my :o. can't wait.

Mafia !!!


j/k :p

looks good dog. cant wait for the release!

I'd like a German version as well, a BHP would be a nice replacement for the luger. UV mapping is a skill every serious modeler should have, why not attempt mapping the gun yourself?

I havent got a clue how to really, if you could point me in the direction of tutorials explaining how to do it in 3dsmax, id appreciate that.

"The most famous pistols of John's design, however, were Colt's .45 ACP M1911 Government Model"
So, the Colt we see in game was Browning's.

Not saying the Britts cant use it, actualy he spent a lot of time in Europe with Fabrique Nationale making stuff because the USA didn't want to waste time with fancy-schmancy semi-auto/full-auto weapons.
" why? just make your bolt action hit the first time, right?" (they changed their minds around WW1)

but since the Colt was a Browning design, might as well make it work for the colt too.

The yanks never used the high power(the FN high power, as it really is...). I will probably release a version for the colt...if i dont someone else will :p

The BHP had a 10 round magizene though I believe, compared to a 6 revolving rounds.

Further it was never officially used, but Rangers, Paratroopers, etc, got a hold of 'em when possible.

When Germany overran Belgium they captured the FN factories and started producing BHP's for their own use, so a German version would be both cool and historically accurate.

As for UV mapping tutorials, this (http://www.learning-maya.com/tutorials.php) is one of my favorite tutorial sites, they have over 1000 tutorials on everything about modeling, it is dedicated primarily to Maya, but there are plenty of non-specific tutorials and even a few for other programs.

w00t, everyone gets a BHP ! ! ! ! !!!! Happy Happy, joy, joy ! !

any skinning progress?

Yeah, an update on this would not go unappreciated. If it still hasn't even been UV mapped, I can do a quality UV map in less than a day and would be willing to help you out.

i already uved it, but dog havent seen dog on msn

upload it and email him the link....:rolleyes:

Ooooh wooow, can you make this a skin for the carbine too? That'd be grrrreeeeeaaaaat :D

I've had it mapped, I just haven't seen Poly to give it to him. :(

...Lo?

The ball is in Poly's park now. Polygon is a busy guy, hes got alot of work to do before skinning this. Give him a chance.

Maybe you could give some other people a chance to do the texture, someone like Brutal or Splinter who have been active in the community lately and ould be able to do a quality texture for this model in a timely manner.

It would appear that Poly is working with cheeto to improve upon the mesh. So there would be no point releasing it to other people at the moment.
