Sa74n

great work! so you finally finished it try to make some poses and export it to source.

thumbs up!

i think with a bit of work you can get it into Garry's Mod and then post/screenshot it to your heart's content!

nice work though from what it looks like from these shots.

Awsome. What's the poly count? Can you give any tips on the tools you used to get the charater into the game? I'm a noob to game modding but old hat at modeling.

warby

polycount is 4800 i used praalls excelent smd export script and the standart h2 source sdk that comes with steam


here is the smd export script: http://mitglied.lycos.de/prallvamp/

ah, so he actually is working without the need of a mod to add it?

btw the name "warby" is also the name of that well-hung gargoyle i have

warby

yeah no just extract the zip into the half life 2 deathmatch folder and select human male 01 in the options(has a littlethumbnail of me). its realy easy


well same here with this warby except he wears pants ... and doesnt have wings .... *looksleftlooksrightruns*

rollin

oha.. how do you get the thirdperson view to work? and how do you manage the sv_consistency shit?

katzeimsack

cool, but your jacket seems to be a little bit too reflektiv

eingeölt oder was?

warby

hessi posed for the screenshots rollin and well i could join what ever server i wanted to without any problems so iam not sure what you aretalking about.

frostymoose

Definately TRY turning down the spec of the coat but you may not be able to do it enough after this new retarded update by valve... just about everything that used to have any spec at all is like a mirror now.

warby

the mask is allready really close to black if valve fixes it it will be fixed ^^

This looks really nice, good job but some questions, did
you make custom animations ? and right know you replace an
existing model, no other way to get it working ? Seen some
new models for HL2 already but all replacing an existing
model.

@katzeimsack auch Zusatzbemerkungen sollten in Englisch
sein damit die Leutz das hier verstehen :P

warby

animations were provided from the friendly people over at valve software ^^

they do somethind wiered with their shoulders they get an off set from the ref pose almost one "head height" up in all animation frames rigging the shoulders is allways tricky but this one was extra sucky difficult.


and yeah replacing models is the only way to get em in has allways been like this with hl mods ... except with the old dm the more i think about it .... ....
