You need to decompile the heavy, then import the lod1 ref model (there is one for fists, one for body. The body has all bones, the fist hs fists and bones.
When trying to get my brss knuckles correct in both 1stand 3rd person I found it easier to just skin them to the middle finer bone, so when his hands animate they are always aligned (halloween anim was especially bad) @3dmark,
I was using the same shader/texture as the eyes, however all I got was a weird white. Never saw iris's. Would be creepy to have them follow you..
Thanks a heap buddy I won't be worrying about rigging it/getting it in game for a little while, I tend to show my OCD with taking ages to actually finish a model despite it being 99% done for ages :P I'll no doubt be back here to look for more advice though
I was going to make a total conversion for VC by converting all the classes, seeing if someone could code double jumps and airblasts but I'd need to convert animations and I suck at animations so I scrapped it
EDIT:
I can't believe I didn't try importing that one =.= lmao, a question though, should I start modelling them for the position the arms are in when imported or should I get the clenched fist going first? *I know I could probably figure this out myself but I'm tired and I'd rather get it right the first time
Stated working on a pyro item today, it needs unwraping properly/texturing. I think I like the main style more, but people may think the 'single eye' style is more robotic. Any thoughts?
Yeah I know, but cuck doesn't make any sense really. It's like you're trying to avoid using cock. And if so you might as well think of a chicken /pyro related pun. Hence Cluck, but I think I like cook better.
Here's a 360 of the Chernobyl anim running twice. Haven't rendered to movie forever so it was just a quicky. Not even sure if I can just imbed it... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15441325/chernobyl_disaster.avi
Now that's just superb. great model, great texture. The little Masa label is awesome. The sad part is, it's a perfect EP3 promo. Which wont get added the game for a whiiile.
Or they could just add it in one day, and give one to everyone who owned a half life game anytime before it was added. that would make it a half valuable promo of sorts too.
Thanks, but now the whole model is self illuminated.. should I separate the lights ? my basetexture has an alpha channel, but it doesn't seem to work.. I guess I'll just have to play with it a bit more.
I've completely lost my model in HLMV. I'm working with the Spy model, and I can't find my model no matter how I move the camera around. I try using the "Center View" option and it doesn't help at all. Does anyone know how to actually get the model back to the default state???
umm, there are two choices, center view and the other one, the other one is better.
You can also move your model to center of grid in 3d program if you keep the bones intact, and it'll show centered in 3d but attach to bones correctly in game.
Coup De Grace might be a more suitable name. Coup D'etat is more related to overthrowing the government which isn't really reflected in the Kris design.
Cook is more of a pun, and it's not as cheap as most items. Valve would change the name to whatever they wanted anyway, so I can't see how much names matter in the workshop. 'The Alliterating Alliterator' gets tiring eventually.
Anyway, I've started working on the Axe 'The Chippa' chipper' for my sniper set, I've a selection of shapes and I'm not sure which to chose. far left is the latest/my favorite design. Any thoughts?
dash the chainsaw is on the steam workshop already, the gatling gun was made by sparkwire, i dont know if he ever released it on the workshop, and im pretty sures someone attempted to steal it already.
ya. but even tho its on the steam workshop. doesn't mean its ingame
does it?
No, it means it's been submitted to Valve and the public can vote on it now (as opposed to the public not knowing about it before) so hopefully it has a better chance of getting in.
that's really as much as an author can do.
@Ronin, Nice lid. But the stretching on the neck piece is pretty ugly. Maybe it would be better to just have a plain 'fabric' there instead of the ringed collar thing.
lol did u need to post all my wips ? ^^
Yeah the chainsaw is in steam workshop, had a word from Bay Raitt saying the model was great but that's all (coming from the guy who made Gollum's face, i'm already pretty happy)
@ Sparkwire; BEAUTY! Another couple of great ones. The Head Crab and the Spytech Pack.
@ Habboi; The whole chicken thing is super funny,
I'm sure it will make people rage quit even more after getting killed by the guy in a chicken suit.
Name-wise, why not "Dick-A-Doodle-Doo!"
Is Valve really going to be that harsh on the word "cock" when used in reference to chickens?
@n NeoDement; Greasy, just greasy... The Big Man's Bush is pretty awesome.
Below is my latest update to the Craft Bonk! helmet:
@ronins: Didn't people in this thread say that Robin/Valve didn't want to put flags in team fortress?
Otherwise a cool astronaut helm. Does it work well with misc. items?

@ronin, I remember I made mine with a flag, and I asked for some feedback on it, and they said to avoid using real flags, instead use red or blue flag/banners.

That was just a suggestion from me, as to not offend anyone from the country depicted by the flag. You also had the flag on a gun. The USSR and USA space race is world history, and could be comical. But flags should be omitted, as to not offend people. But Like I said way back when I gave my 2 cents on your rifle, It is only my opinion,
Yeah I agree too for the flags. Eventhough the nationalities are obvious, there's no flag in the game. Perhaps it's easier for people to identify their character this way.
I don't know, people tend to be all patriotic, serious and agressive when there are flags involved, so i would avoid them aswell. But I guess more "subtle" reference to it is ok (red star, stuff like NBA logo...)

The collar's the main problem. Really should be more applicable for the heavy. Commie and Tony had the right idea.
Submitted. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3685
The hands are in the open position I believe. So just wrap them like they are and rig them good, don't worry about using the 'weap bone'.
Habboi, maybe you should name it 'cluck' a doodle...

Why can't you? Backbiters billycock?? How about 'cook-a-doodle-doo?'

@Sparkwire
That headcrab is absolutely perfect.
"The Immolating Automaton" ("Seems like he's got a few screws loose...")
@Sparkwire
"Lamarr: The Hat" ("The kids love this one.")
@Psyke
"Sgt. Swatter" ("Perfect for blugeoning any pest into bloody submission.")
@Tomm
"Russian Rudolph" ("They never let him join in any reindeer games. So he killed them and used their pelts to make this stylish hat.")
You can also move your model to center of grid in 3d program if you keep the bones intact, and it'll show centered in 3d but attach to bones correctly in game.
Makes it a lot easier to view hats especially.
combine it with the One Man Army...

None of that means it'll never get in game.
