I thought with my Bren being sent off for skinning, and my Enfield on the verge of being released, it was time to get on with my PIAT. So here is a pic showing how far i've got, i just need to tweak some bits, and add the sights. If anyone has any good ref pic's of the sights, can you please point me to them.

Thanks

this gives a whole new meaning to "USE THE PIAT!!!" i think i will now :) great job marzy

Thanks {tBs}IamDoydy i'm pleased you like it so far..:).

I don't need any ref pic's now, I've just found a website with some good pic's , there should be enough info in those pic's for me to finish it off.

I think the guy in my sig likes it :)

Nice! Do you plan putting in on default anims or making new ones? I think the reload from A Bridge Too Far would be great on that.

looks good. i like it very much. hope the skin is as nice as the model.

LOL@Mortar,good one man.

"EDIT:Marzy,stop it..your makeing me look bad.:D "

wow your on a role :D

Thanks for your comments...:)

I've no plans to edit the anim's, but you never know...:).

Yes it would seem that way...:), once i've got this model finished, then we will have a full set of my Hi poly British weapons apart from a Webley & knife, and will just leave the Lewis (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scitzo/lewispreview2.jpg) to finish off as a bonus weapon...:), plus it will keep Ska_Wars happy.

BTW for those that don't know, i have a Hi poly Webley that my friend made, i might get around to meshing it one of these days, so it's possible i guess i might spring that on you all yet........:).

I should release my Knife really, it's been sitting on my harddrive meshed and ready for skinning for over a year now......lol.

Simply said, release them all. :)

Very nice Marzy.

Perhaps you could add some more detail to the knife on the handle? :S

I hope you release them as a pack at the end too.

just a waste of polys, the skin can easily make up for it..not to mention the hand covering most of it

hey if the dev dont put the lues in dod 1.4 there stupied that looks KITTYKITTYKITTYKITTYing alsom man keep up the good work.

off topic MaRzY can u make player models?

Damn Marzy, glad to see someone showing so much Brit weapon love. Get those models out! =D

Well i've had a mad last 36 hours, i've gone through 2 power packs, and now i'm on my third...:(, so it's possible i might disappear again. I've no idea if it's just bad luck, or if something on my pc is causing this to happen...:(.

I agree with Pvt.Malarkey that it would be a waste of poly's.

Thats as far as i've got with a player model, it uses Jed's beret and gear in those pic's. I've not got around to doing anymore with it yet, but i'm thinking i might release the model and meshes before HL2 is out.

Thats bloody Awsome!

Bloody nice, I hope we can get a super high poly versions of these for DoD-S :p

Well seeing as my PC has power again, i thought i would do a little more work on the PIAT. I'ts more or less finished, i just need to do a few little changes here and there, remove the unseen faces, then ill start the meshes.

First Look HLMV (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scitzo/WIP_PIAT2.gif)

I would like to add a little more detail, but the model with hands and my Para sleeves is around the 4000 poly mark, although thats without unseen faces being deleted. I would like to get it down to the 3500 mark or lower, but if i can't achieve this with just deleting the unseen poly's, i may have to reduce the polycount on some parts of the model.

why would you have to lower the detail? i've seen models with way higher polies than that and hl handles them fine. please don't get rid of detail.

Those Brit Paras are awsome mate, gj.

Good boy, you get a cookie :p

Its all so gooooood.

YAY!

wow this is looking soooooo good. even though it is high poly, i cant wait to downlaod it.

I've fallen a little behind with this project, due to yet another power pack died on me, and other stuff thats not PC related.

Anyway i've manged to get the model finished, and it's FOV edits sorted, which took some playing around with before i found something that matched the default anim's and i was ok with. The models had all unseen poly's removed, but also had more detail added since my last pic i posted. Including hands and one of my para sleeves, because you don't see the right hand sleeve ingame, all comes to 3500 poly's, which is just what i was aiming for, so i'm pleased with that.

So as long as my power pack holds out, the next job is the meshing, here is the latest pic, showing the finished model, with FOV edits.
