That good enough?

BadKarma was working on a johnsons LMG and rifle just before he lost his internet. But we can't have too many options to choose from.

This is a toy company's site, but their rendition of the Johnson's LMG is pretty good

there are links to differfent views of the gun, and it will give you a better view than any other pictures I could find. I think they did a good job of doing the gun.

That's the Johnson Rifle. The Johnson manufacturer website has alot of pictures of the Rifle and LMG.

Thanks guys
The pics of the toy LMG help heaps,its such a sweet weapon a true contender for the BAR!Problem with it is that the bipod would need compleatly new animations! :dog:

I think maybe FG42 animations would do?

you can use the animations I made for BadKarma's LMG if you like.

They are from the FG42 I think (what ever bones BadKarma modeled over), but redone by me to match the bipod position of the Johnson's

Also the bipod bones were off a little so I needed to reallign them to match the model

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Please Someone finish this weapon!

The only real problem with this model was that most of the dimensions where wrong (no offence guys).
So I sorted them out and changed a bit here and there then put a skin on it just to see what it would look like and…..
Just needs a sling and someone good to skin it, some new animations and it would be a great addition to the dod community!!!!!!:dog:

Hoah!

(I make this assumption bassed on the fact that one of those shots had the black-grid UV-map-meshes on it, and the animation had him holding the foregrip and not the bipod)

It has sense gotten "new animations" and we have asked a few people to skin it, and one person volentereed but I never got a reply.

It was finished all but the skin, so if you want to skin it go ahead, please, it will be a happy day for a few players.

Try this LMG, see if it is better (http://files.dodnetwork.com/download.php?userid=37&imagel=johnsonLMG_sep26.zip)

The magazine isnt perfect, but here is a quick one

To be honest, the skin and model doesn't look to sharp on a low resolution picture.

M8 i could kiss you!! :D

i have spent so much time on the bipod animation and got nowhere,now i can skin it for real thanks dood,i still feel that some of the dimentions are out and the bipod rail is wrong,but i am only going on the few pics of this weapon that i can find!
If you have no objections i will sort the things out that i feel isnt right (some genral dimentions the barrel thickness,cooler,bipod rail and that bar ladder sight!).
I f you have any pics other than those from the toy web page that would help heaps.
:dog:

this is still a work in progress and most likely to change compleatly,but thanks to BillyNair it should actually get released,it still has so very minor animation probs because i have change parts of the weapon,Billy check your pms m8!!:dog:

badKarma has all the pictures for it, I just found that one toy picture, but it is a lot more accurate than just a random weapon enthousiest, those kinds of toy companies go through a lot of research to get them looking authentic, but yeah a REAL johnson would be better.

(don't tell Karma, but I thought the barrel looked too skinny as well, I don't loke the bloated look of FOV, but sometimes a little more girth is a good thing)

so yeah, knock yourself out, and when you are done send it to me to get animated (also, I see your holes are #0000FF, if you click the transparent box in JEDs it will show through)

Starting to get real happy with it now,just needs some more detail and the magazine sorted out and then i will send it to you asap!
Thanks again Billy:dog:

comeing along nicely, glad to see someone making this gun useful for all. until now it was only a few using it because of minor tweaks needed, skins and stuff, but I think people will actualy use this now!
