Very Nice Silas, I think the model is great, I think it would look more like the BR if the texture was darker, but the model is self is very accurate.

Don't kid yourself Silas, that thing looks awesome!

Only thing I see wrong with it is that the hp_active looks a bit off.

And tsurugi113, that mac-10 ain't no little thing
It is insanely sweet, real detailed but it doesn't look too high-polied either.

calm down,
i made models only by moving points for 4 months (i didnt know any tool but the move point and add edge one)

wowzas. Didn't expect this reaction. thanks for all the comments guys, makes me a little more confident for my project I'm making. Maybe I'll take the time for some more custom weapons, this one was just supposed to show up in my map as a "hey look, I can model!" sort of thing. This topic has really made my day

I did the same thing Darth Duck. The first thing I tried to do was import a clone trooper with Rep's mesh importer, and move the points around too. Obviously, it failed (the trooper was a bit...spiky). And to think that was only about a month and a half ago...

VF501 wrote:Yeah, adding black and brown would make it more realistic looking. Got any suggestions on how to do grooves and bumps normally found on insect/arachnid exoskeletons? I'm not too good at GIMP/Photoshop so I'm not too sure on the best way to achieve that look. Tried photo-sourcing, but didn't find anything hi-res enough to cover a majority of the skin.

EDIT:

Custom Skeleton is done, and its rigged and weighted properly. Hopefully I have the heirarchy setup correctly as I used the Unit-Template as a guide on how the effectors, roots and bones are done. The Acklay would've been a better template though as it has 6 limbs too.

Pic of said skeleton, effectors and roots are hidden.

And now? Making custom anims.. I do hope you make it a walker type; whatever happens, good luck on that

Haven't replied to this topic for a while so rather than single anyone out, to all who have submitted lately, good job!

Now for me to show off

Given things I have learned lately and because it needed a paint job here is the newly refurbished Buggy

Hidden/Spoiler:

And now a video of the buggy in motion, the treads work, the front wheels steer and even though you can't make it out too well the steering wheel also turns.

Well you did improve your buggy there didn't you?

This is what's pandemic level; taking the maximum out of what the engine gives us.. 9pose anims; 10/10. Detail on moving (treads) 9/10, model itself 9/10, FragMe! ITself 20/10

I love how you did this man, great job, can't wait to drive it, and apply these tuts to my vehicles too

Wow FragMe! If I had words for how awesome that is I would type them. Nice job!

Excellent use of the new 9pose information Frag, this makes many more things possible not only for hovers but flyers as well!

I'm thinking a drivable Juggernaut, a Grievous Wheelbike, rudders elevators and ailerons on planes oh my!

Post by **-_-** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:22 pm

Mmm.. that sure looks a lot like the K-Wing texture there FragMe!

Its been a while and I didn't understand it when the issue last came up. Why was it that its so hard to make wheeled vehicles?

Now that the secrets of 9pose animation setup have been revealed we are capable of making wheels steer left and right depending on how you move the vehicle and then use this in combination with the scrolling tread info to make a realistic looking wheeled vehicle, where as before we only had the scrolling tread info.
