from what i can see (crappy school monitors) it looks very nice.

[edit] ahh, it does look very good. cant wait to see the metal

neat.

I'm counting on you getting done in about 50 minutes or so then :p





good work so far.

O noooooooooo this means i will replace Sp|inter Garand unless its like the ones i hate the end of the barrel goes 2 a point etc.

I wont replace till done :D

I... LOVE that wood! Mainly because it looks almost EXACTLY like the wood on my garand! :eek:

:sheep: :carrot: :sheep: :carrot: :PARROT: Great lookin so far.

[Constructive Crit.]Make the wood a tad darker or make 2 versions?[/end]

You don't have to though. Its fine the way it is :D

To red for my tastes, but its looking mighty fine.

Wooooooooo BEST WOOD so far i think :)
Very good job ! :)

It looks great, don't change anything about it. There's too many skins that look exactly the same, it's nice to have a little variation.

Did you finish that bar, also I love this:D

Hot stuff:sheep:

i agree with billy, it's very original indeed! i can't wait to see it when it's all done...i've always liked your skinning abilities brutal :D

very nice brut, hope the mateal is as good aas the wood.

Big pimpage. Don't forget Marzy sleeves and sling with the M1 clip on it.

Yea unless spint does another one this will be perfect:carrot:

love the wood, hate the metal, it looks too stony

http://world.guns.ru/rifle/rfl05-e.htm

great ref pics of the garand there and ive got more on my machine somewhere if u want em

that's just a temporary metal texture from the original release of that model

although the metal on the hlmv screenie looks much brighter than the one from ms3d O_o

Thw wood actually looks a lot better than I thought I would have liked. Don't mind my request thing back there, I like this much better.

Looks great, but what about your BAR???

That isn't my metal, I havn't actually started on that yet, its just the metal which was already on it.

also thanks for the offer but i got plenty of pics for the garand.

I've said it before, It's now up to Fiblah to release it with Backslash's anims.

Yep, this metal isn't my favourite ;)

That isn't my metal
Yupiii ! :) Can't wait for metal :)

/me feels unloved

that was my very first try at skinning :(

Looking great, think you could make the top portion of the wood a bit darker? Like this - http://world.guns.ru/rifle/m1gar_1.jpg

:vader: <-- who saw that one coming?

<3 u. i actually quite like the metal.

Comming along very nicely brut, i hope to see Jenn's anims on it

Don't forget Marzy sleeves and sling with the M1 clip on it.

With all these request I think Brut's getting a little ticked off, ease up on the request guys, the skin isn't even finished and it's already flooded with requests.

could you add a silencer, laser pointer and 3 scopes????? pLz

:mod: that post deserves an ass kicking...

:eek:

Holly horse poop! You're the man.

You might want to adjust the lighting on that one part to hide that seam near the receiver.

Good work, but I there's lots that would make it better. Send me money. Yes, that would make it the best.

Jk. I like it, Immuh use it.

oh oh oh give it Jenn's anim's!!!! If so, it shall be the ULTIMATE SEX.

It so godamn easy to switch sleeves.

Well u can do that then!

I can do the sling, but I have no idea how to convert sleeves.

:(

Oh well, as long as it's default I guess it's OK. :D

Cant you change sleeves on MS3D?

There should be a standard format that people release in, it gets irritating to have to switch sleeves around with every new release. I think that including default sleeves and hands with releases would be best, that way people who want to further customize them can do so, but others, who are in the majority and are content to use the default sleeves, don't have to go the extra mile to get something that looks good with the rest of their game.

BRutal do you want me to make a set with all differnt sleeves Id be happy to,It would also include recolored splinter hands.

I don't think ripped call of duty and red orchestra textures would make the cut :rolleyes:

yes that german 1 is splinters, brit is marzy and allied i dont know, but its not cod

cod sleeve

messed up so you evil people cant use

COD are nice, but marzys brit para sleeves are the best in my book.

Originally posted by swedish

Cheers mate.

Im going to release this with the sleeves that came with it. The reasoning for this is because I always seem to encounter this problem when releasing things.
Not everyone likes the same things. Some are default ppl and some are custom. A lot of the time I get too many requests to handle. So for now on with everything I release I will be leaving the hands and sleeves as is unless i decide to change it myself or skin them etc. If the user wants custom sleeves then they can feel free to put them on themselves. This saves me time and trouble.

Thanks.

hey brut... w0rd.
:)


he's right ya know?
^^


and skin looks awesome like always... :)

looking good brut :)

Happy Birthday

Does darker brown look better?

http://img47.exs.cx/img47/3118/ingamebrown.jpg
http://img47.exs.cx/img47/9562/hlmvbrown.jpg

Or Lighter

http://img88.exs.cx/img88/22/ingamelight.jpg

sechs either way :eek:

Both are quality, I'd say the light gives more of a fake look.

Heh, I actually prefer the light one.

me too. that light one looks 90% like my garand, lol.

darker imo

Darker, just release both ;):p

hey i perfer the darker one too but nice job on them brut :)

[SEC]MetalHeart:
Very nice dark one :) I like this dark wood.
But release both ;)

Nice. Are you going to de-FOV and reskin every weapon? Please do.

Until I see a splinter ill use this forever, and even with splints I may still stick too this:eek:

ok.. I understand Splinter is a great skinner, but comparing him with every single :vader::vader::vader::vader:ing person who skins?

"Oh noes, yours is good but splinter's might be better"

Come the :vader::vader::vader::vader: on, every skinner has their own ways/styles and if Splinter happens to be the one of your best fit that's fine, but you seriously don't have to be going around saying "i'll use yours if xxx doesn't make one". That doesn't help anyone.

Post feedback, or other constructive criticism that has to do with the specific model that is being featured in the thread, not comparing it with someone else's :rolleyes:

Please fix that unsightly seam that will be staring you right in the face when using this in game.

perhaps a lil lighting?:)

Originally posted by Brutal

I am going to use this. As of now, I have the default model, with my own skin I made with stretched/pasted on images I took of my garand. But it looks a tad odd, lol.. so yeah. This is great.

i have not seen anything better than this garand

Looks great.

awww man this skin looks drop-dead gorgeous! the wood looks nice and smooth as well as the metal parts. well done :D

[SEC]MetalHeart :
Yep, wood is GREAT, metal is nice too, Thou i prefer brighter and more blue steelish lookin metal ;) But this is going to be the best garand so far :) Good job mate!

I COMPLETELY agree with you BillieJoe. Brut is a great skinner, as are some other people on these forums. If you're gonna replace it with splint's later then do it but brutalizer and those who like this skin don't have to hear about it.


Great job Brutalizer. I love this garand.

I would also have to agree. Splinter is a greatly admired skinner but when i hear "Until I see a splinter ill use this forever" or something along the lines of that it's pretty much comparing my skin to a non existing skin which doesnt really help me much.:vader:

Do a bayonet version.. go on :p

This is looking awsome excellent work as always :D

Darker.

Resembles more closely to my M1 than the lighter version, which IMO belongs on some kind of cheap kitchen cabinet.

Not that I am insulting your work, but I dislike models that have plywood-like textures on M1's!

I agree, the orange one looks like :hamster::hamster::hamster::hamster: so i scrapped that one and made a more realistic red wood version, heres some pics.

Is this Grains Ultra High poly model?

Red wood looks much better.

Is this Grains Ultra High poly model?
yes it is

Finish that thing and get it released! I need a new M1.

I dont think the orange wood is too bad.

Darker...mmmm:)

Could you put Jeniffer's animated sling on? If you don't have it I'll send you the model thru msn...

Its actually MaRzY's model that I edited for No FOV added a sling and Split the UV map in to sections to facilitate higher resolution textures.

and the finished product (56k beware of this monstor 1600x1200 sized render)
http://brutal.shatteredvision.co.uk/Garands.jpg

Hopefuly get this hosted tomorrow, also it will include a version with jenifers anims:)

Cheers to Monkeh for the render:)

w000 that's thing's a beaut. I'll take one.

it also hasa sling

looks great, put this model with Jenn's Garand animations and it will be the best

If only it had my serial #.

:vader:

If this does not have Jennifer's anims and Marzy's high poly hands + sleeves I consider this heresy and treason in the first degree, even if the skin and model are really sweet. Why should I have to do my own hackjob just to get high-poly hands to match the others that a lot of models already have? Nice work though, Brut.

Why should Brut go out of his way to satisfy one person specially when said person can do it himself.
