The screen shot says it all, im too tired to post anything.

EDIT:
Same origins.
Same amount of bullets on the belt.

:D

I <3 your skins, keep it up, would you ever consider reskining the player models the same way you do these pretty weapons ?

maybe you could get someone to extrude this section upwards a bit, kind of looks ugly when skinned like that where there is no change in height

Leave those parts red, it looks funky :p

Still needs more bullets on the belt IMO

Sp|inter looks better than the first 1 But u need holes in the barrel and the barrel needs 2 be darker.

It would also be cool if u could make the hands look really real like dirty not clean LOL.

and some cool animations like when ur just looking not firing have normal animation when firing have him looking down the sites.

Also make the over heat really smokey.

BTW ur new reanimated mg34 looks good but when firing looks silly.

use the reload animations from the new mg34 with the mg42.


Thanks ToAd.

P.S ill try 2 get some pics of my mates mg42 for ya.

Thanks.

i thought it would be a good idea to extrude where lagtron suggested, i allways hated that on the mg42 models.

IMO it does need just 2 - 3 more bullets

New Screens.

EDIT:
Do not ***** about the barrel cage being black, i have not added transparencies yet.

Dude, you need to make the cooling holes transparent!
:D

Did you not read the EDIT?....look up a few inches.

lol everything above is asking for model changes, animation changes, and other things shows that they obviously don't know how things work (transparencies, animation switching, bullet model adding and some more animation changes)

Great skin Splinter, although I think the barrel needs to be a tad darker to match the rest

QFT.

Looks like el Splinter's going for a record.

Or a job offer.

That wouldn't surprise me.

QFT?

Splinter can you please please please release the SMD reference file ? because i don't want to decompile it and play with the UV maps again :(
anyway i'd appriciate it :)

:kitty: I was being sarcastic :kitty:

Looks good, but the color difference on the barrel does look a little odd. And I don't know if this is your department or not, but some more bullets on the belt would make it look a lot better imo. The constant state of "I have 10 shots left" detract from the overall beauty of it all. Oh well, even if you didn't change a thing I'd still use it.:PARROT:

Barrel has been darkened

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/7947/Shot45.jpg

ooh, i like that grip a lot more. very tasty indeed

splinter u might want to add more bullets to the hand fed thing so they go to the bottem of the screen insted of havein a mg that fires 250 rounds but yet only shows 10 lol nice work any way if u could fix that bullet hand fed thing it would be great :D

This came up in the first release, and as far as I remember that is the same amount as the default model, it's just the different origins...

Looking very nice.

I hope your being sarcastic aswell :rolleyes:

wow, looks great! but ithink the barrel should really be a little bit more darker to fit in perfectly

Would I really be that much trouble to release a version with default origins as well?

Yes enti... i hope u was being sarcastic.
i cant save ur ass on a dod forums

:rolleyes:
Sorry Sp|inter for entis sarcastic comment.

Thanks =82ndR=Cpt.ToAd
:sheep: :dog: :PARROT: :kitty: :mod:

Guys he did before release a different oring model for this gun, so maybe he will again. But I dont see why non of you could just add more bullets to the gun. To my knowledge splinter just does skins and very few anims, but he might model and I might be wrong.

I would if I had the tools and knowledge of how to. But, well, I don't. It's not that big of a deal to me though, if it were released as is, I would still use it. Terrific work Splinter.

Oh yea man, I still used the first version before, but for my realism side it can be a bit anoying.

It looks good but it looks too thin and small from the firing animations you showed in your pics... I dunno what it is but the gun looks way to thin and not as beefy as the normal MG42 model... it just looks too thin to me... dunno what it is.

BTW, the screen I'm talking about is this one:

http://img80.exs.cx/img80/2501/Screen1.jpg

Nice grip indeed!

It looks really stupid how an MG42 can magically fire 250 bullets when there are only 8 on the belt. Maybe you could position the hand so the bottom of the last bullet is off the screen?

If i had a penny for everytime i've heard that....

I bet all my pennies to anyone that doesn't agree with me that im going to get more pennies in the future.

You could try thinking about the different origins and how it affects the POV of the model? :confused:

But thats just a WILD guess :o

So I shall sum it up, this new orign was never meant for this model guys, but splinter did it and thats that, no point going on about the flaws around it.

If you don't like the skin,anims,origins,model don't use. Don't voice your opinion because frankly no one cares. If you don't like it keep your opinions to yourself.

This is looking amazing, and the grip is beautiful.

You know easy it is to reorigin with Jed's HLMV? Anyone can do it, takes me about 2 seconds. :p

I am using your first version atm, will switch up for this when released :>

The textures are amazing but some people are not loving the new Origin... no, it doesn't mean you have to change it, have it how you want but when packing the MG42 just throw in a little very nice small file called the reference.smd and zip it up, that way everyone could choose the origin they want, they could edit the model without fixing the uv maps again, Fov/Defov or w/e... is it such a big request ?

Have you done a Thompson texture yet Splinter?

http://img49.exs.cx/img49/6502/Render3.jpg

Oh dear, there I go wetting my pants again.

releasage :sheep:

on the uhh barrel-cover thingy with the holes in it, the metal gets suddenly darker, whys that? :)

edit: smoothing

I know this is pretty much just a reskin splinter, but I'd like to add another vote to this, if you get time.

I don't understand why people would make a high poly weapon with very nice skins and neglect that area so much. It's one of the most prominent areas you can see in game-

Anyway, keep up the good work.

what
all i did was the green part

I'm agreeing with you lag, read better :p
