Yeah, your probably right. What about a laser sight?

Aw, what if i told you peeps that i lowered it ...I like the scope. I like making scopes in general since there so scope-like round, big fun to texture and all.

Look, aint that one helluva scope?Alright then, free beer for all that vote for the scope .

Improvised scope, roughly based on its real counterpart. Note that the gun isnt quite as accurate as its real counterpart overall.

Its the depth blur in G-max that makes it look low quality.

Trigger has been deleted, nobody's going to see it.

Is the FAMEA S.A.F. Manufactured by chilean army factory. Sold under lincese from FAMAS as the original designer. Its a small compact weapon. Reliable and equiped with a 30 or a 20 rounds 9mm bullets magazine for extra stealth. can be equiped with a scope and silencer and a extra handgrip.

Original designed developed from the the SIG. Weapon shows a remarkeble resemblance to the H&K MP5 series. Not only in the basic design but also the sight has been lead from this. Can be equiped with rails for extra attachments.

Finishd the FAMEA,decided to drop the stock. Im going to mount a scope on it.

Congratulations to all the winners!!

People whom use winxp themes should be shot on sight anyway, 98 FTW!!

I can offer you a beer?

il model one for ya'll ...When i can think clearly again offcourse.

Pfff, i dont know if hunter'd like that. I dont really see bread in it

@hunteh, let me finish da famas first , mkay? But not tonight, i got a big Flightsimulator event. And i got the honour of patrolling LA in a LAPD AS350 as baker 1.

@daub, shouldnt be to hard, when i finish the W_model the grunts should be using it to. Could be wrong though.

Only 3 days of modeling, something along the lines of 5 hours.

And texture . Though animating is my weakest point. One can better know all then focus on one thing.

They are. The Game industry gave it the name bump map, in the ol' days we called it normal mappin' . though i could be completely wrong here

Unseless Hunter is hiding a animator in the closet then me .

What what?

I finishd modeling this UZI today:Hope you like it.

Sounds interesting!

Urb, that defo aint a 747/3/4/2. It more or less looks like the lighter DC-10.

Restart, rejoin, restart, and rejoin. You'd might want to try this a couple of times.

Had this problem to, solved it.

Also try loading it in singleplayer. Also helps a lot. And remember, BF2 is the worst coded game in history, so im not that surprised to see that you have quite a lot of trouble with it.

Yes, and offcourse installing the electrice fence did miracles .

I coudl argue with jazhee for hours, but now i miss his crazy conspiracy threads...

That same thaught slipped my mind dajuppi.

All to treu Ant, so many.

A lot more though, just those that i recall being there 3 years ago already.

dang, time passes fast. If it go's on like this il be flying F-16's in 3 years .

I shall continue modeling the UZI.

Sorry for the thread bump, but it took this long for Deep Thought to calculate the answer to life, the universe and everything.

There was me, this big light, and then suddenly stars all around. Mkay? Oh, some big ass explosion was also to be seen .

Well, its quite funny if you know a bit about terminology in planes .

Its taken from aviation quotes, it's an old pilots joke. Dont take it serious.

Qantas is the only major airline
that has never had an accident.

I highly doubt that, i can probably dig up some accidents that ATP's consider major accidents.

Urb, most modeling programs are capable of opening .obj wavefront files.

If you cant find yourself any mesher/skinner then it will be a pain in the ass to uv those models, you may not know how to skin but you know to torture them very well j/k

I received the models without a scratch, il try to compile one when i have a free moment.

I assume saving?

Goto:

File / Save As

Or:

File / Export

In both cases you can select the file format you prefer.

That reply just craked me up, really

A program to pain the skin with offcourse.

Why did you put this here in the first place? Dont you think that there is a actual reason they put the warning there? Do you actualy think?

Yeah, maby we should find a different forum, this is getting annoying.

The whole key to skin succesfull is to look, not only look at the model, but look at the world around you, study different materials and make sure you understand how it reflects on serval objects.

Dodge and burn tools are your friend, use em wisely because they can make or break a model. If your done with the skinning part then apply a sharpening filter and as a final touch up the contrast and change the lightning up to how it suits you.

here are a few guidelines i use for different weapons wich should give you some insight.

metal: it is reflective, but not quite as much as chrome, usualy varying from a dark gray to a white basic colour but can be adjusted with heu saturation. Metal scratches easily and bounces the light around the skin. Skin in some scrachtes with dodge on highlights, 1PX and 100%.

Chrome: Most of the times chrome looks quite clean, it reflects almost all of the light. Usualy seen as a light colour, along the lines of white, light gray and light yellow(gold look). The base of the textures is mostly the same as metal only less worn. Also the contrast is usualy higher.

Plastic: low level of reflection, shoft shadows and soft lightning. Probably the most difficult material of all to skin. Small scratches usualy show the worn use of it. But, dont overdo it or it will look like metal.

That are my guidelines that i use by skinning.

And why dont you show us a example of what you dont understand, i might be able to shed a better light on it.

Offcourse, the only thing i can say is practice a lot.

w00tage, though it might be smarter to post such things in the team only forum dont ya think?

I saw that one comin' 7th.

Smooth - carlos santana

No, a long long time ago, i recall reading a news article about it when he started it up, it was on the frontpage back then.

Yup, that means random tilingtexture.

I really have no cleu how much space it will take.

B. 20 terra bytes

Seriously, we cant make any statements on both since the content isnt finishd yet, though were working very hard on finishing this.

Good news Rim, i got milkshape up and running.

Feel free to send a model or 2 through in .obj format(in max go file/ export / wavefront format). Also state as wich weapon you want them to act.

Note: HL:HS has a bigger priority as you probably understand

The forum is doing alright, sometimes it is a bit slow though.

Well, nothing i wont get around.

Good news though, il be trying to compile the FAMEA S.A.F. in a few minutes.

Alright, il be setting up my compiling pc for milkshape to tommorow morning. Il let you know how it comes along.

Hostage situation is taking shape, working on the models most of my modding time. The skin takes up quite a bit of time though.

Now now, first let me get milkshape back on track, il need it myself to for the hostage situation weapons anyway.

I might be able to help you out with the skinning, but it usualy takes a good day to make a proper uvmap, i usualy go part by part for that.

feel free to pm any other questions about the uvmapping and skinning, though im pretty sure you'll pick it up quik enough. The only thing that is different from textue creation is that you skin the lightning into the texture.

Rimrook, when i get milkshape back on the road again(got corrupted) il give compiling the weapons a shot of you like.

If you need info on Uvmapping and how it works do a google search with uvmapping, that gave me a ton of usefull links.

Woks in most langua's 7th, also in duthch
