Si senor, thank you for you two cents, I have cheddars, petera and Idltp on my back, because I am not fond of rippers who don't make custom content.



Annnnnndddddddd nope. It does take talent as well, to make working effects as well as knowledge of how the tagging works.

And @ idwhat ever your name is, it is actually a fairly complicated weapon tag modification.

Also at both of you, now that cheddars has seen fit to come to your rescue, if you are interested you might want to check the rest of my xfire videos, considering that you seem to thing that the plasma launcher tagging is my only CE work. Most of which is particle and weapon effects.

Cheddars, the projectile isnt the point of it anyways, the projectile is simple, it is the weapon tagging that goes along with it that took the most time and effort.

All I do to change it to shoot more: Replace a lil 1 with a lil 3.

WTF? He wouldn't have called it a "plasma launcher" if that's all he did. It scales how many shots to fire based on how long it's charged, and the meter on the side goes up to indicate how charged it is as you hold down the trigger.

Lol quoted the wrong thing there...

This is what I was talking about.

Bro, you are awesome, my buddy kvasir and I also have done some work with those animations. He also made a custom sound for the reload and the overheat.

IVEE (and Kva too), why are you using the charge-shot for the regular fire-1?...

I mean, it does make it look powerful but really weird looking at the same time xD
Unless that is the regular shot, which I have a feeling it isn't.

Thats just a regular plasma rifle bolt :P

Also, more ingame t3hlag awesomeness :DDDD

They look a lot more sluggish than what I remember from the render.

Sigh...oh Halo, how I love and hate thee at the same time.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I think it actually is - I was pretty much just messing around with the idea and made animations as if it was a heavy slow-firing weapon. In any case it's nothing that a little DIY work can't fix.



You think you could make that a video response to the Animating with Teh Lag video? Might be nice if people could see it ingame from there.

Do grenades count as weapons?


I sure hope so...
Anyhoo, just a random grenade that I started working on, 'cause I'm bored... Didn't use any refs, or anything so it ain't gonna look anything like a real grenade...
It was also a very quick model, so it's not particularly well done.
If you want it, i'll give it to you. If your gonna hate, stuff it, atleast tell me what to fix.

Sincerely,

Although it can be tempting, don't make grenades a perfect sphere. Most grenades arent.
Your grenade already looks mostly like this one:

So I would just elongate the sphere into an ellipse shape. Don't bother with actually modelling in the squares though, since it's a grenade it won't be seen much.

Oh, the safety pin looks like it could stand to lose a few polies. I don't know how many it is now, but I'd go with 8 sides for the cylinders, and remove some of the edge loops on the circular part.

That said I think you could do more with the connecting part (?) not sure what it's called, but right now you just have a cube. Don't make it super complex or anything, but just search grenade on google and see how those grenades don't have a perfect cube on top of the body of the grenade.

Hope this helps.


This is the closest I found to a sphere grenade, but if you look closely you can see how even this one looks like the top has been squished down, and isn't a perfect sphere.

Thanks, broseph.
I'll do some-more work on it later today, or tomorrow. The silly pin (which needs some work. ) is actually only 3 sides, so it's only like 100 polys, seeing as I don't see point in using many more polys, for such a small thing.

mw2's frags are basically a perfect sphere, if you look at them closely during a killcam

M.mm.m.m.m.mmmmmModern Warfare 2 l.lllll.llll.lied?

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!1one!!!!11eleven1!

but like seriously, dont listen to MW2. Frags are not spheres. The M67 ingame is nothing like the IRL M67 Frag.

CA=/= RL.

comparing their models to real stuff they arent too bad

focus on the models

I haven't modeled a weapon in a long time. Anyone have any requests?

Something fantastically awesome, that makes me pee all over my keyboard when I see it.

lol, pee all over your keyboard...?

Ok, well I'll try to find something, but I am open for suggestions.

a telefonmast which you can use it as a guitar

I've drawn up a blueprint of something I had planned to do, but if you're interested I can send it your way?

ya sure

PM on your way soon.

everyone is doing reach stuff, so...





shaders are wip.

Oops, I sorta forgot I had promised to release my animations for that thing...
Looks like it's made of chrome to be honest, but in a way it still does look nice.

Ya, personally I don't like how that original pistol was released, with the chrome texture, it looks dumb.

What's with the obvious UV error on the side?

ionno but im diggin the metallic silver

Moses released it for the public, and Infafudafi used it in his "Another Stupid Campaign Mod" where it was animated by ICEE. The mod is open sourced.

Shiny me likey.
EDIT: Looks so detailed, the rest of the screenshot looks really bad, even the fp hands.
