Link works for me.

Does the one with the buttschmack not have a bayonet on it?

Because if so, I'm definitely using this.

nope, no bayonette on the butt smack. i dont believe there should be something on a weapon you cant use.

*coughcustomcounterstrikeweaponscough*

looks like the best one out of trigger's many garand skins. i love that orgin that maybe it

I dont like the low-res textures

First of all let me say that that is awesome, finally the best garand evar :D Secondly i dont wanna be rude or anything i usually dont care about these things but please dont forget to mention that I made that metal.

OOps! I was watching it closely and I think that even though it looks somehow like my metal texture edited, its probably not. Sorry about that.

your metal texture? buddy, i made all that metal from scratch. i dont know how you see it even looks like yours, its completely different. i simply went over your texture is all, all the metal is original...

and @ Sclass

how is it low rez, the textures are 512x512...

LMFAO~!!!!!!!!!!!

And you know what I think about it con... -_-

Link doesn't work for me either..

try refreshing the page, i did that and it worked for me. ;)

@ fiblah
lol dont complain to me man, Trigger made the model :o haha, and i know what ur lauging at too..

the model is great imo :D

btw i did a reorigin of the model. if anyone wants it:

Picture (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/dod_avalanche0009.jpg)

@Sclass again.

ya know, it would be smart to actually DL the weapon before judging it. youd' see the textures ARE high rez; and that HL filters the hell out of textures..

Looks good, I'll surely be using this. If anyone has any issues with the model, I'd be glad to take a look at it for you.

Very nice work.

Is it possible to make the middle of the peepsite transparent?

link doe snot work for me :/

Very nice job russ, I like it a lot.

i would very much like that reorgin :D

For some reason it doesn't work for me. I just get the default garand. Yes I did rename it to v_garand.mdl and deleted the old one. It is in the directory C:\Sierra\Half-Life\dod\models.

Good model & skin, btw.

Edit: It works in LAN, I guess it must've been the servers.

Can someone make some p_models?

And russ that is the best garand origin ever please release :D

"btw i did a reorigin of the model. if anyone wants it"

I want it Russ !!!!!!!!!! Please !!!!!!!!
I'm using Arsenal Gear reorigin garand, but his looks low res textures.... I said "looks", but I'm not a specialist ! And... this origin works great, killin' is much more simple... damn... how? ;) :D
Please release yours ! Looks GREAT ! :D
Please, Please ... PLEASE ! :)
I love u Russ :D You're the BEST !

[H2H]MetalHeart

For the first tiiimmmeee- *sings that old song* For the first time in my life.......I'm replacing the default garand :) If you don't have anything nice to say Sclass then don't say anything at all.

Yes PLEASE release the reorigin!!!!

same opinion. PLEASE RELEASE THE REORIGIN!!!!!

Its nothing about the model.. Its just, for some reason, I cannot let go of the default... :o

I personally do not like it......the skin looks...too unwartorn

If it's alright, I'd like to drop a little constructive criticism. Obviously, take it or leave it, that's your prerogative.

Originally posted by Russ. Conscript

To me, it seems that you didn't really utilize the fact that you made the skins 512x512. Frankly the default DoD garand looks a wee bit sharper and more detailed overall, yet it uses smaller textures on the whole. I mean, you have a great base (particularly on the metal), but I think if you cranked out some more detail to make the skin less "soft" and fuzzy looking, it would be a lot more effective and smoke the default model\skin.

The other thing I'm not so fond of is the wood. No offense, but it looks a little rushed. Looking at a skin like Polygon's or the default garand compared to this one, I feel that you could maybe benefit from seeing how others do wood, or maybe look at some tutorials on how to make realistic wood. Your wood is very uniform and kind of.... unnatural looking. Maybe something simple like adding stronger lighting effects to the wood would help, or even adding more detail like the DoD garand's wood would also help make it a lot stronger as well.

I know that may sound mostly negative, but it's really not. I think the model is phenomenal, and the skin is off to a great start, but I think it could be improved with more effort. Either way, good work. :)

yeah i understand. well, i dont care if anyone likes it or not because ive only begun to do weapon skins. i recently learned how to do wood, so im just learning my own teqnique with it. imo the wood looks pretty good for like my 5th try, i mean its all i can do right now. if you compare it to some of the other garands that have been released (Triggers model) its pretty decent. to be honest i dont know what else to do to the wood.

as far as metal goes, i even made a sharpened version of it, and put it in the zip. if you use that it should look a bit better.

ill release that re-origin with some improvements to the skin, thanks for the critisim

I don't notice any difference between sharpened and unsharpened :(

Transparency isnt working if you look at the sight.

ok, nothing can be done aobut the metal. sry, but thats not even my fault.

Half-life unfortuantely filters textures.. badly. i can sharpen the metal texture all i want, but all its going to do is make it grainier, and more like rock.

i think if your video card is better, textures do come out a bit sharper. but plz if you are going by the pictures i post, disregard them, i have a medeocre video card. its not ****ty, but not great eather. plz just try it ingame, it might be different for some of you.

the metal i made was just as detailed, if not more detailed than ingodshands metal. yet still, mine comes out blurry. like i said before its probobly my vid card. i did put effort into the metal, i did spend time on it. but if it comes out blurry i dont understand, sharpening it can only do so much.

here take a look at this comparison. the left is a picture of my metal taken in game on my comp. the right is a picture of ingods hands metal, but notice how you can make out the words, and you cant with mine? mabey i should get people to take pictures for me..

And for the LAST time. i am not adding trasparency, it ruins the skin! the transparency trick degrades the skin. take a good look at the body of the default sten. thats what happens. whatever is transparent in the texture, ruins everyhtign else. and the part that is supposed to be trasparent, also includes the rest of the metal. so its a no go.

Take cover! He's gonna blow!

Russ .. I have and idea of reorigin ... I like yours, and I can't wait for release.
But... Can u make garand a bit lower and bit more to the center ?
Something like in Arsenal's Gear garand -> http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4489&highlight=origin

Think a while about this PLEASE ! :)
I count on u ! :D

[H2H]MetalHeart

I love the soft look of the metal. I'm using that Garand right now. Execelent work, Russian Conscript.

Did you release the re-origin? I'd like to have a hand at trying to skin it for my own curiosity, and thats the best damn origin on a rifle I've seen for this game.

Ok well, its been proven, my video card is the problem, its causing ****ty pictures because it blurrs the textures. i knew it couldent have been the skin, because.. i mean just look at it. the meshes are huge.

so i got a freind of mine with a way better video card to take a picture of my garand. and sure enough, it came out clear. this can be proven by the text on the metal, you can read it perfectly in this pic- Click here (http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/dod_chemille000.jpg) and you know what the best part of it is? he dident even put in the sharpened texture i included, so it never needed fixing in the first place.

id appreciate it if you all would actually look at the weapon ingame before saying the texture is "low rez"

some pictures do no justice to the weapon at all.

I'm sure you guys already know this and junk, but a couple of faces on the front sight are reversed, Trigger.

Oh Russey :P Did you read my post?

rwease the uber orgin or die!
jk release the uber orgin whenever you feel fit too, or just send it to me :D

excellent job on this garand russ..no offence to the others that skinned it, but your version was the one i liked the best...specially the re-origin version...dunno why..but it's so much easier to use..

props to trigger for a great model too!
