Yes, that's in the animation. Just make sure the clip is a separate part, so you can link it to a node later for animating.

As far as I know, models do not lose any quality when you import then export them. Not like Bitmaps...

Correct ^



Why call him a fag because he is 100% correct. You admit that you dont know anything about modelling, so shut up. We do, your giving him part false information...

Yes it would. For it to function correctly in game however, make sure you check if the vertex weights are correct under the skin modifier, and that you haven't touched any of the nodes (will mess animations up). Also, make sure you export using CAD's JMS exporter. Blitzkrieg screws you up.

It should, just remember to separate the different parts again. The importer gives you the option to import vertex weights, which rigs the model to you can animate it. In weapons, you might want to detach those peices and link them to the nodes they would have been rigged on.

oh man it seems I should make my sarcasm so blatantly obvious a toddler could pick up on it, seeing how you just can't seem to be able to

Quick question: How does plane modeling apply to weapons?

do you want a clap? i have never seen a model of your's so...

fail.

what i said still applies. he is correct, you are PARTLY.

LOL how sad. sup? umad?

if only you knew what you was talking about, jealous ? big headed yeah but it seems true with all of these troll's.

Turbo-smooth really increases the poly-count and makes the models un-usable for most people.

turbo-smooth is there to make normal maps for models or pretty renders no other reason.

What on earth is going on with the accounts? I assume gane has made the 2011 account?

probably, after all, hes a troll.

Orrrr... Gane '09 and '11 are all teh same... Unlikely but probable.

It would be probably better and more efficient to model something like a handguard out of a plane, other than that I can't really say...

turbo smooth isnt just for renders.. if you know how to use it properly the models can still be used in modern engines.. i often use turbo smooth with 1 iteration for models for my engine...

Yes but it's not used for that very often, i just named the most common uses.

The more you turbo-smooth the more poli's yew wind up with. Also that PR doesn't look like it has 5 "ITS" on it.

LOL. honestly i think if you render that with mental ray,your pc will explode.

Why does everyone think Gane is a troll :|

Wrong. Turbo smooth can be used to make smooth objects from boxy objects and it has many other uses.
Stick to what you know and stop talking altogether ")

i like how you cut out part of my post...



i was referring to the 3D engine that i am making for a game in C#.
in my renders and animations i use as many iterations as necessary although that has never been more than 3. so congradulations! you spent money on a computer that's able to handle that many polies, but you still dont know how to use it properly.. that plasma rifle looks like garbage because you can't just apply turbo smooth, turn up the iterations and hope for the best.. i would be happy to give you a lesson on how to use it effectively if you like..

P.S. notice the turbo smooth on this has 3 iterations and yet i still have crisp edges where necessary http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr84/gtheflea/Audi%20R8%20GT%202011/back2.jpg

Sorry for responding to the troll guys.
It should be said that Hunters modeling skills are very good, he is capable of modeling great high and low poly items for games and such.
Where he lacks is in creativity (so do i), and his posting habits, but he is still probly a decent guy, so w/e.
Any new weapons for us anyone?

Let me rephrase my answer.

turbo-smooth is there to make normal maps for models or pretty renders usually.

you can sya what you said about ANY tool in max then as ALL of the tools can be used for anything in many combinations.


can tell this troll is new seeming as ALL of my older model's never used turbo-smooth and i have only just started to model for next-gen games.

you know nothing, be quite.

I apologize for being rude, i like our arguements :)
You are right, any tool can be used for almost anything if you want to put in the work.
But we both know that if you are looking to be a professional modeler, then you best know the quickest, easiest and most efficient way to accomplish the final result. If you are working with low poly modeling, blocky-turbo-target weld/collapse can be a very efficient way to go.

I'd kill myself if I were an egotistical bigot who thinks he's the best around



don't you know? having any opinion that conflicts with someone else's automatically means you're a troll. this is doubly true with autistics, sonic fans, weeaboos, furries, and children who's parents let them play halo

so generalizing groups makes me a troll? okay, by your logic, anyone who says 1.00 is filled with mexicans and pirates is a troll

Anyone who makes comments specifically to start an argument or to continue being off-topic is a troll.

oh you mean like the insultive generalizations everyone makes about the 1.00 players, I get it.

hmmm, you sound a bit... frustrated :) seems to me you just don't like what I have to say or my stance on things, so the easiest way for you to disregard anything I have to say, valid or not, is to label me as a troll ;)

E: aw snap skidrow guess I am a big, fat, turd troll

Provided you continue to stray from the topic and attempt to insight arguments, yes.
Edited by Skidrow925 on Jan 19, 2011 at 07:08 PM

alright then

can anybody make me a br but make it so that it shoots lasers, that would be hella pro

Step one: get a BR.
Step two: get lasers.
Step three: open guerrilla and swap the BR projectile for the one the laser uses.

Easy enough?

It's extremely easy to think that when you dedicate 8 posts a day for the last 72 days towards hating and starting pointless arguments on a community which is based around a game which you supposedly despise.

It`s best to just ignore trolls and get on topic.



WIP of a M4 variant I am attempting to make. 2nd attempt at sub-d modeling (I`m not making it any easier for my dying laptop :V)

I am still quite new to sub-d modeling, and details on round surfaces is really giving me a headache. There are some pinching here and there (the round section in the upper receiver, where there are details) that I am having trouble with. From what I`ve searched, it seems that details on round surfaces in subd-modeling is bugged, since it was designed for organic and semi organic modeling.

Some details are heavily customized by me, partly because i don`t know how to sub-d that part and made it so that it`s possible, and partly because it looks better.

Maybe someone can help me out?
