Re: Model showcase thread Part II
Sorry to be blunt, but that is about 100 times above your current skill. So, if it's really yours you need to show stuff like the UV map, wireframes, etc because it's really fishy that you can jump up to that kind of detail.xXxINSANITYxXx wrote:TA Da.... my super crazy, high detail, over6900 poly M16!!!!Hidden/Spoiler:
*IF* we find out it's stolen from another author or game there will be one of two consequences:
1-Come clean now and get a warning
2-Claim it's yours, we find out it's stolen, and you get a ban.
So if it's yours you have nothing to fear, but we need proof as it's really fishy that all of the sudden you can do that kind of work. If part/all of it is stolen tell us now (and how much is stolen) and you'll get a warning. Lie about either part and get a ban.

Tean, You can steel something and put it in wireframe. He probably had to have put it in wireframe because he added the null for the front of the weapon. I think what we need is to see full screen shots of his work in progress, so that the start bar is also on the screen.

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
Whether or not that model is actually yours, Insanity, I'm excited that you can actually put weapons that high-poly ingame.
Maybe I'll rework some of my models.... on second thought..... maybe that might slow down the framerate......

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
hey red, i like itredgroupclan wrote:A model that I have deemed 'Tank Buster'. As you can see, there is a big turbolaser cannon (faces to the front) and a missle launcher on the top (faces to the back, but full rotation). There is still much work to be done. In the back, Im going to add 2 mounted machine guns that can only rotate within the back view. They're gonna be like the top gun on an IFT-X tank, just machine gun...ier...After that, Im going to add more details to it. Vents, squares sticking out, power lines, etc. And last but not least, the tank treads. Im still deciding on whether to have it a mobile tank, or have the treads and the bottom parts of the tank wrecked so its like a big stationary turret station.Hidden/Spoiler:

You're right. The staff has no idea what they're talking about. They've never dealt with anything like this ever before.woner11 wrote:Tean, You can steel something and put it in wireframe.

/sarcasm
The start bar wouldn't mean anything. That just shows he's running XSI and the file is open. Big deal. That's why we asked for stuff like UV maps. If a shot of the UV map is really professional, then it wasn't done by him, as that takes some real experience to make a super-efficient UV for a model like that.

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
Yeah Tean, that is true. I am not taking sides in this, but what you say is true, it does seem kind of fishy that someone came up with a model of quality as high as that, who doesn't seem that experienced. No offense meant, insanity, if it really was for some reason actually your model then it is quite good.

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
Anyone got advice on doing the treads? Otherwise Im just putting a bunch of cubes together and takin what I can get 
And quick poll-
Mobile tank or wrecked tank turned into stationary turrets.
And insanity, might you have downloaded that from turbosquid?
Can anyone see if theres any similarities with these and his.

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
i votes stationary turret. The height compared to the width and length is a little awkward for moving around with, it would look kinda funny. I like it though, looks like it will turn out nice

Re: Model showcase thread Part II
Yes, make a cylinder with enough U segments to make the tread look correct in the next part. You only need 1 V and open bottom and top (the little check marks at the bottom of the creation thing. Still in the creation window make the height the width of the tread. Close the creation window. Rotate the clyinder so it is aligned where it should be on the model. Freeze all transforms. now scale the cylinder so it fits correctly. Then if you want the treads to "move" in game there is a tread tutorial that is pretty good.redgroupclan wrote:Anyone got advice on doing the treads? Otherwise Im just putting a bunch of cubes together and takin what I can get
An alternative on the cylinder (leave the top and bottom closed) is before rotating make a second cylinder that is taller and slightly smaller in diameter. Select the first clyinder, then from the modify menu do a boolean difference selecting the second cylinder. This will give you poies on both the inside and outside of the tread. Freeze modeling on the first cylinder. Then do the rotate and scale parts mentioned about. Once you freeze modeling on the first cylinder you can delete the second one.
Clear like mud
