for any of you that are fans or just like Metal Arms(and also a good at biped creation), well then this may turn out useful. I wanted to make the Glitch biped and other bipeds when i come home from school, but of course i suck at modeling. anyway for some of you that didnt see metal arms, ill bring pics later


Edit: heres pics

fine ill make the models, but sopmeone has to ATLEAST fix the edges

The models can have open edges. The collision model would need fixed edges, but then again, on bipeds, they are normally boxes covering limbs and such.

if you cant model something without guaranteeing you'll have open edges, then chances are the model isn't going to look too good.

Metal Arms is an awosme game. It took me a long time to beat this game. But why was it not that popular. It's a great game. Doesn't seem liek it sold too well. I think it was as fun as halo.

I'd second that considering I've never heard of it.

never heard of Metal Arms? that is wierd! Metal Arms is a really cool game. too bad they haven't made a sequel to it (THAT would be awesome if they do). anyway, i thought that i was the only one who was thinking metal arms bipeds and such. if you want, i can make weapons 4 u if you send me copies of the finished biped models. ill even try to make vehicles. are you planning on making a few maps to?

sure, it would be a great help thanks guys

im done with the glitch model and i know, i suck at modeling but I used Hard effort in this model and it took a week to finish it


front


back

not trying to be rude but that docent look right at all. feet = to small hed = not right and i can carry on try getting some modeling tuts to help you out abit, other than that your model looks goodish.

The body is too big, arms look like sticks and legs seem too small.

The head is reasonable but i think you need some more reference pictures.

You using GMax? I made a scene with the pics set up for front, back, left, and right views. Hopefully it helps. Back view's feet aren't straight, you'll have to improvise some

Metal Arms vehicle: the Rat (I didn't make it)

Haven't seen a 6 wheeled vehicle in CE yet

thats ok for a beginner. anyway, i am almost done with the grunt model. just got to finish the top of the torso, make the head, and finish the arms and legs. the guns can be put on in-game(pick up guns)

Wrong thread?

i know it, i suck at making models, i suck at fixing edges and let me guess i suck at making water! what else can go wrong!

that you fail too make us make it for you??lol:PJoking..

how is it now

If you're gonna do that, use the boolea modifier.

It looks better, however the head looks a bit dodgy and you need to add more detail in certain places.

Just keep modelling and occasionally try new things and you should get better.

well i added some detail to the legs and i cant make them line carving on him so that will have to be in the texture, and the head... i dont get why its "dodgey" but I cant resize it cause the vertices are close to each other and my mouse double clicking problems and wheel moving errors so i dont want to end up messing up my model or finding open edges on the resize of that head. trust me. i have a hard time making this model due to mouse problems and my parents refuse to buy me a new one and im not old enough for a job.

added detail

so far so good

sometimes mice can be found for cheap in thrift stores

now have anybody made any other characters, vehicles, or weapons?

Lots of work cleaning up after a boolean
collision can be simple geometry, and for render (gbxmodel), you could hide the visable-to-the-outside faces and delete the ones you don't see

like i posted before, i am almost done with the grunt model i am working on

What's the grunt model for? Grunt city? You sure you got the right thread?

no, the grunt from metal arms. there are grunt robots, or mils as they ar called, in metal arms. i would post a picture here, but i cant seem to figure out how to do it

Dangit it wont lemme put the code here

Press the little picture thing and paste the link

And this is looking good

Better then any biped I could make

oh well, i couldnt find a good picture but if you go to http://metalarms.com/home.html ,go to game, select bots, then go to mils. select grunt, and there you go, a mil grunt.

Aha...

yep, that's it

did anybody make any models for metal arms?

i said yes i am almost done!

ok, dont need to yell. God

Actually boolean is a very effective tool if used correctly.

i got the metal arms soundtrack as the music
