Half life models in CS ? Created 18 years ago2006-12-15 19:45:38 UTC by dave73

Im new in the forum, im sorry if this topic doesn?t belog here. I want to put a car like in cs_siege in my map. But if a make a cube and put the car textures, the result is horrible.

Any idea? How i make a car?
Thanks

pd: a pic for help

it doesn't look that bad... proportions look a bit out, although it's quite hard to tell as it's a dark screenie. I think that the car models were generally quite boxy anyway in the game....... but I have seen loads of prefab cars avaliable - not that I would recommend them, but it would give you a good idea.

That screenshot is from cs_siege, alexb911. Jeez.

dave73: Just use the clip tool creatively.

Yeah. No other way around it really. You have to make it bit by bit. I don't use the Black Mesa jeep anymore cos its been used to death but back when I did it took me 4 hours and 3 restarts to get it right.

It's not that hard. Not for me, anyway. I can easily make one under an hour.

Well yeah. Same here now. But when I started mapping 7 years ago it was quite a demanding task. (Worldcraft 2.1) shudder

Difference is, I've been mapping for less than 2 years.

So you never had to deal with:

A)WorldCraft 2.1.

and

B)Lack of Zoner's Tools.

Also bare in mind that my 1337 5ki11z only came about after I got the net 3 years ago.

Thanks to all. i'll try doing step by step.

Try the clipping tutorial in case you need help with the clipping tool.

...oh, whoops!

Just make it out of large sections - wheels, mid-frame, bonnet, rear. A bit of clipping is really all that's needed, it could probably be done without any VM at all. I know with the textures that it is really hard to align them because obviously when the game was created, the textures were created with the car shape in mind. Just.... have patience........ and do what every1 said!

Best would be too cut it up into sections, and from there on shape each section individual. You should probably try to wrok into section, first shape the side, then the front etc.

Also half the texture size. I don't know about you guys but it seems way to big to me.
