You have first choice for Geometry Challenge 9 if you want it. Remember you can participate even if you're hosting the challenge!
Tetsu0: yup, just another annoying thing about Hammer compile... BC makes it easy to -wadinclude wads, with the checkbox and browse button for the path...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take a random npc/monster (from cockroach to Nihilanth) from Half-Life and make a brush version of it.
Rules:
Your npc/monster doesn't need to move, so make it in its stationary position (idle).
The bigger the npc/monster, and the higher the level of detail, the more likely it is that you win.
And please, don't choose the cockroach!
Now get to it!
Rules:
- Only npc/monsters!
- Use the npc/monster original texture(s) or design your own.
- WADINCLUDE your custom textures!
Your npc/monster doesn't need to move, so make it in its stationary position (idle).
The bigger the npc/monster, and the higher the level of detail, the more likely it is that you win.

Does it have to be an ingame npc, or can it be any model? (for example, a friendly)
Posted 16 years ago2008-05-16 11:25:11 UTC
Post #250027
It can be any model, as long as it is a character/npc/monster. No propmodels!
So yes, you can do the Friendly.

That's good, although I haven't decided which model I'll do yet, and it probably won't be the friendly.

You're making a big version of your npc so that there's more room for details right?
Very nice!

Well.. seeing as how I'm using the 8 unit grid, when I'm done if i scale it to one eighth, it should have no problems. But I do want a lot of detail.

I'm only giving myself the rest of the night to finish mine. I'm doing Dog:
I was going to port the model to HL1 and use it as a template in hammer to make it perfect, but i decided that would be kinda like tracing a picture and hence sorta lame. So, it will be far from perfect and quite a challenge !(it's shaped so weird! which is why i like it)

Ohh i'm finishing allright. All i have to do is get the pecs right and do the head and i'm done.
And until someone else enters, i'm just going to keep going at it.
I haven't gotten bored yet, because i'm working on my car at the same time. I'm doing some body work on it. So i apply the bondo, come up here and model while it's drying, then i go back , sand it down, put on another coat, and repeat the process. So i get new inspiration almost every 45 minutes
All good things must come to an end however, i'm starting to finish up the bumper.. so then after that it's a wet-sand and a few primer coats.

2001 Chevy Cavalier.
I slid on a sheet of ice and hit someone's lawn during the winter months, poked a few holes in my bumper. It just looks downright ugly. I can get some time-lapse pics and put them in my journal. I already patched 2 of them, i just need to get the biggest, and most noticeable one down. But i need a bumper repair kit. It comes with wire-mesh, and J.B. Weld Epoxy. Need backing for something for the bondo to grab onto

Why didn't you just order a new bumper?

Post #250174
Because a new bumper costs $190
And Bondo + Paint + sandpaper + J.B. Weld Kit costs $55
Give or take.
Plus i get bored easily and i could use a good summer project.

Tetsuo: you can also use the alt-e scaling function to scale it down if you want. I know some brushwork purists don't like using that tool, but it's unimaginably useful imo. Just keep in mind if you shirnk it too small using alt-e, it will cause invalid solids. If you get the HOM effect on any of your brushwork after shrinking, make the the problem brush or brushes INDIVIDUAL func_walls to fix. Also, make sure you're absolutely finished with the piece before you shrink, because it will most likely put all your verticies off-grid, and subsequently it will be tough to edit it cleanly after that. [/walltext}
It looks great so far... i can't wait to see the mp5... = )

i don't even want to think about the mp5 until i can get his stance right.
I have all the vertices set up like an actual model. But until i get the hands and the helmet and stuff.. i'm not even approaching the mp5.
Got the arms all set.
Now i'll start on the hands.
I'm surprised i kept the proportions right thus far.

There's not as much detail as i'd like.

Once everything is done, and it compiles, then i'll push the engine.
