Looks pretty good so far. :kitty:

I like it a lot :)

I am very happy with the product so far, very acurate details.

There are 2 things I see that are slightly off, but the good thing is these improvements will actualy reduce the poly count. (see attached)

1) the bayonet chuck on a Kar98 is actualy milled on the end of that clamp that holds that forward grip, so pull the chuck back to the grip, cut off that hidden face, save a poly or 2.

2) there is an added piece on the rear of the bolt assembly. I have a few pictures of the Kar to show, they are shadowed where I need to show you, but you can kind of make it out, there is nothing there. You can chop that piece off, reduce polys and make the gun more authentic.

Like I said, there are a lot of good details, like the cliper-strip guides are even there. Nice work.

(I want to see the left side though, the side we see in game)

Excellent Job! I like what you have so far. We don't have enough models for the kar only the default and one other i think? :confused:

When your done if |Brutal| or even Dillinger could skin this baby that would be awesome. :kitty:

Oh my :kitty: Gawd!

I expect this in my inbox as soon as it's done.

Just kidding, this is looking very nice, i know i just recently completed a k98 skin but when u release this i will gladly skin this, please can i?

allso i need some help one the end of the rifle
it dosent look right ..

PS: im gonna try to chop those pices of and see how it looks. thx for the ref billy

ok i fixed what u said billy
allso can u find some ref about
the sight ??

just testing the moving parts

another one

ohh i forgot to tell the poly count !
right now its 2407 poly

Don't forget to add the sling! :D

is some one willing to mesh this when its done ??
im not very good at meshing rifles

and yes ill ad a sling

I dont know exactly what you were needing, here are all my ref pics I have, and I added a small (2MG) video, kind of going over the various points of the gun. I saw there are a couple spots fixed, and then others needing fixing, and again, fixes that will drop your poly count.

Here is the kar refs.zip(2.3 Megs) (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=kar refs.zip) (Will be deleted soon)

And now for the happy post, a piece near the bolt, that is on most other bolt action rifles to keep the bolt in place when fired, but not needed due to the bolt design of the `98:

yea i allready know about the
the thing i attached
i have fixed it
sry but i couldnt dl the link because
my net hads been down these few
days i hope ull put up the link again

no my net was down ..

I noticed you needed the scope referance pictures, and I included those in here:
kar refs.zip(2.3 Megs) (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=kar refs.zip)
along with some other pics and a vid.

thx man !
realy nice kar u got there m8
do u think u could record the sound of the
bolt ??

for the /weapons/boltback.wav and /weapons/boltforward.wav ?
I can, but all I have is the default Windows Recorder and a headset. I used to have some sexy editing software back in the day, but I can't remember where I put them, so I am stuck with that...

OK, i tried to record it, but my system = $#!+, so it doesn't sound at all like what it realy sounds like. The default one is a lot more like how it sounds that what I have, a little slow for my tastes but it works.(I did a demo on shooting bolt-actions, I got 1.1 secs a shot, vs. the current 1.6~1.9 seconds)

In the animations for the T99 for the Japanese pack, I made the animations closer to how they should be, the bolt action was quicker and the hand going back to the trigger was slower.
IRL the hand moving to the trigger is slower than the bolt back and forth, because you are aiming as you move the hand back.

I suggest the defaults, but here is an example of how crappy my sounds are:

well thx for the try anyway billynair
the model is now done (sry i didnt put a sling on it)
the poly count is of total 2539 polys
and its ready to be meshed
any volenters ?
i think this one is gonna be though to mesh !

:kitty: !!!!!

:kitty: :kitty: !!!!

:kitty: :kitty: :kitty: !!!!

:kitty: :kitty: :kitty: :kitty: !!!!

Someone skin this thing! Hurry! And someone get some sexy new animations on it too! Unless you've already done that mxed.

It's for HL 2 I believe.

yes its was intended for hl²
but i donno how itll work for hl
is it too many poly ??

I hate people who quibble about poly counts. Whether or not it looks good is the main factor. By all means optimize it but even if its pushing 10k it won't matter.

4k, 10k is WAY !!!!! over the top.

2300 polys is usable in dod.

Wow, very well done. I am impressed.

I need to upgrade soon, this vid card was new when windows 98 came out... hahaha

but like Highbinder said, screw the low enders, that is what the default models are for, yes I am one of the low enders, but that shouldn't stop you guys from making nice models. Eventualy our computers will be upgraded, and we will need good looking (poly-count-doesn't-matter) models.

Here is what I have to say about cutting polys - if it is not needed chop it, but if it will effect something you like, keep it. So, if you don't care about the right hand side because it is only a v_model, chop them, but if you like the 360 view with the right side intact, keep them.

I say keep it the way it is, get this uvmapped and then send it along and i'll get right on it after the BAR

i still need somone to mesh it
plzz

all right
after that no one is willing to mesh it
i've started my self (: P)-<---<
right now i have meshed the wood
i couldnt come up with some other
way on how to mesh it so i hope its
skinable :rolleyes:
wood1.rar (http://home20.inet.tele.dk/clan-bv/models_and_pics/wood1.rar)

yoink!

Hmmm i'll see what i can do with that mesh:)

well if u think its ok
otherwise
we can allways talk on msn

have you taken a try on the skin brutal ??

can u send me the model so i can view the skin on it?

yea

any news brutal ??

Bumpo

brutal is uvmapping and skinning
this thing now
it maybe take some while because
he just started at school again
and so did i .. hehe

Brut show your self!

This soldier wishes to speak:mod:

Uv mapping this is a pain in the ass but i think im getting it done ok, havn't started skinning it yet obviously but when i get some progress ill keep you posted.

Salutes.

ok brutal told me that he cant get the mesh right
so i guess that this isnt gonna be done
unless others try too
so i here by release the ms3d file of my version
of the k98k so that any person who wishes to try rto mesh it
can do so.

im not visiting thies forums much more so if anyone gets this
meshed and skinned you have the right to release it but
remember to give me credits :vader:
and maybe a little mail with a link so i can see the work :D

jarrrhh !! Enjoy
