Its a very usefull click-to-edit-desktop. In other words i use it as a interactive workspace. And i use the old classic theme because its more relaxing for the eyes and its way quiker after i shut down all the useless shit windows xp has built in.

Latest version of mine:

Its a pitty i wont enter, but what i want to do requires spirit if i want to retain some sort of control on the actions.

It does, as i said, its animated.

Well, he is k.i.a.

You can pick up the model at my website:

http://pepperdesign.cjb.net/

instructions included in the zip file.

Have fun, c&c

You dont want to know how fast it was going at first. And if you still dont like it after you have tryed it then i might make a quiker one especialy for you

Nah, its a slowly rotating one. But you can see for yourself soon, im finish up the final touches on my website for the download.

Alright problem fixed, i set the fps 60, just as much as my keyframes, this means that the model was playing the animation in one second instead in one minute, so i set the fps to 1 so the model now completes the scanning sequence wihtin one minute.

I cant find any sources for hard-coding the sprites into a model.

On the other hand, i created a animation that makes you..... dizzy....yeah, thats the right word, its going so frickin fast that it makes me crazy.

I know i should. maby in the upcoming weeks il write a tutorial.

And the sprite is hardcoded in the model, and i have no clue on how to do that.

Alright, here it is ingame, still un-animated.
far
close

And add a sprite in hammer and you got a eerie looking camera.
Im watching you!

Tell me if you like it

I already got this snark thingie going on for a good 1.5 years now.

I dont know, they enjoy eachothers e-penis and try to raise there 'social' status here, but i dont mind. quite fun to watch them compare the e-penis.

Indeed 7th, But in the test trials when they approached the sound barrier the plane got uncontrolleble and drifted away to a side and down, they fixed it eventualy but the barrier always was a point at wich the plane started shaking, after that it flew like a dream.

Gwil, same thing happen wiht RUST, thats what Andy is talking about.

I think in one of the ally's i saw in the square outside the station.

And there telling exactly the same about your prisonplanet faked stuff.

You know, im not even reading that anymore. hell, i thaught jazhel wouldnt reply

Well well kids, give eachother a hand and stop arguing, ore this will turn out in flaming. And that is something we dont want, dont we?

Yeah, i think he indeed was the first one to go through the sound barrier wiht the bell x-45 if im right.

Then buy the game!

Maby you dont, browse through the entinity guide and look up some entinity's. Because it shouldnt be to hard to make a door fall on someone. i dod it once with a trigger once and a func_door_rotating.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from aces of o.a. WWII and WWI and VN.

Good flying never killed [an enemy] yet.

Up there the world is divided into bastards and suckers. Make your choice.

The first time I ever saw a jet, I shot it down.

-- General Chuck Yeager, USAF, describing his first confrontation with a Me262.

Willie, how long can you tread water?

-- Commander Randy 'Duke' Cunningham, USN, after his and Willie's F-4 took a missile hit over NVN and he dashed for the coast.

Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

To true, as i myself have found out painfully when i lost my wingmate and i faced 3 zero's alone. Though i crippeled the fools and shot em down.

A fighter without a gun . . . is like an airplane without a wing.

I was a pilot flying an airplane and it just so happened that where I was flying made what I was doing spying.
-- Francis Gary Power, U-2 reconnaissance pilot held by the Soviets for spying, in an interview after he was returned to the US.

The Yo-Yo is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

If you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly.
-- Nick Lappos, Chief R&D Pilot, Sikorsky Aircraft.

The British were sporting. They would accept a fight under almost all conditions.
-- Gunther Rall, Luftwaffe, 275 victories.

Every day kill just one, rather than today five, tomorrow ten . . . that is enough for you. Then your nerves are calm and you can sleep good, you have your drink in the evening and the next morning you are fit again.
-- Colonel Erich 'Bubi' Hartmann, Luftwaffe.

If I should come out of this war alive, I will have more luck than brains.
-- Captain Manfred Baron von Richtofen, in a letter to his mother upon being decorated with the Iron Cross.

All are real, not one of those are fake.

As far as i know Autocad is one of those programs that can do that, search for it on google and mail to there support system.

Question, should i make it wiht ore without animations?

It is a combination of serval reference pics i found. and im scaling it down, so it doesnt look so big in-game.

NOt really, just normal planes wiht a aplha texture on them. its mostly the texturing that is the problem.

As soon as it is completly finishd and tested.

Indeed, he mentions it in the article you said.
And its a really nice guy, he helped me on the way wiht learning to texture from scratch.

Here it is textured:

textured1
textured2

Yep, it colours the groups, then its easier for the skinner to recognize where what part belongs, but you can turn that off offcourse.

Here is another example of uvmapping

http://img226.exs.cx/img226/2964/camera37bk.jpg

Feel the power of uvmapping(bows to lithunwrap)

wiht uvmapping you flatten your model by un-packing it as you would do wiht a cardboard box. then you save the model, i usualy save it is a ms3d file. If you do that he saves the coordinates of all the vertexes and faces on the 512x512 workspace. then you save it as a bmp texture and it will be applied to a material on milkshape.
Then you apply a material to the groups whom are uvmapped on the texture. and there you got your model ready for texturing.

It takes a lot of time and patience to re-create everymove of a muscle, it helps for me to draw out the animation by using my own arm.

You need 2 qoute tags, one wihtout the / and one wiht the /.

Yeah, but make sure you set the right axis to rotate on, otherwise it could look very odd!

Scroll down to the bottom of it isnt there, then you should try re-installing steam.

Hehhee, i thaught your avator was a render in a program like maya, lightwave ore max.

Indeed. that is harder then modeling.

Hehehhee, thanks then. Still i got a high grade for my exams A.T.M, my avarage is around the 8, and if i would have my final exams right now it would be raised to 8.5. (They round it up to halves.)

Dont ignore, use it, integrate it, feel it.

me dances of happyness

Ah yes, i recall. i had the scare faced lad.

Mine is a snark...on fire....its burning.

It is easy. Just practice alot and dont expect to make a hl2 zombie as your first model. Though i need to practice on organic modeling.

No problem, wont take me any trouble at all.

Iwas bored so i wipped up this camera in a few mintes, its 146 faces and you can put it in your map, wiht animations.
I only need to texture it.

camera1
camera2

Tell me what you think about it.

You certainly can use the animation of a default weapon. I assume you use milkshape, so search on there website for a tutorial on a smd export and compiling. It should help you on the road.

And for skinning, i think he already did that, otherwise he first would need to uvmap it.

I will make one for you wiht your own skin, that isnt a problem, but i suggest you use a program wiht layer support to create a good looking skin, but its possible that you dont have time to learn that

Ey, keep it calm on me, im dutch!

Practice is the keyword to succes.
