Hey guys, remember that Sigma team?

Well I finally played downfallbeta2.0. No idea why I never downloaded it earlier.
I was blown away at the amount of potential the map had.

Of course, stick people like Donut, ICEE, and Geo on a team, and you're bound to yield desirable results.

However, I noticed most of the weapons in the map were untextured.

So I decided that I would try to texture them myself.

NO, I am not trying to revive Sigma, NO, I am not making downfall_v2, NO, I do not guarantee I will finish every single unfinished thing in the map. I will, however, try to texture or at least unwrap many of the untextured weapons in the map, so maybe one day the whole weapon tagset will be completed. Not making any promises, but I WILL have some open-sourced more-finished-than-before content for you guys in the coming future.

IMPORTANT: If anyone wants to help me on my endeavors, feel free to. If you wanna try your hand at texturing any of my unwraps or editing/beautifying any future textures I make, just ask and I'll send it to you.

I started just today with the Sniper Rifle:

Scope, unwrapped (normals):


Rifle, with scope normals:


Now, just watch as Advance goes like "Oh, you mean this?" and posts fully textured versions of all of the Sigma weapons...

Could have done better with the unwrap.

so any one can bring sigma team back to life?

No one has really touched Sigma's stuff actually, or bothered to texture them for practice or anything. I animated one whole weapon and then just a reload and 2 other animations (not shown) for another, but otherwise I don't think anyone else has really touched Sigma's stuff. I think I've seen ICEE's PP animations in some maps but no other weapons or assets.

Try asking some of the team members and seeing what they think of your 'endeavor.' They may have some things not in the map they could give you as long as you show a promising V2 in the works.

Way too much wasted space in the unwrap.

started texturing, nothing too major to show yet.

i dont texture or unwrap.

Doesn't mean you still couldn't have the assets textured completely. He didn't exactly say you textured them.

So he points me out if I happen to have them textured?

Consider it an honor :P

Nice to see someone pickup our work. Me and Arbiter are about the only ones who still do stuff for CE. I haven't seen him for awhile though :\

Texturing scope. Around 50% completed, need to add moar details and do the other side of it.

Current Pics:

Desert camo? O.o

Rust camo.

why unwrap it when you can do that no matter what just box uvw it. then make the words and the emblem a floating plane....

Or just unwrap it properly so its texel space can be constant. Why try to avoid a better UV space when it is more rewarding to have a better UV than?

oh wow you have my absolute approval of this project. cant wait to see what you come up with

I can't wait either,as long as you actually release it,and/or the tags.

Fix that seem.

dunno how to make that texture tileable :(

That... that doesn't make any sense.

false!

anyways, while you're at it, you may want to reunwrap and retexture the stuff that was already done. the best thing I did was the smg (http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/8917/progress2us5.jpg), or maybe the spiker (http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/5981/progress2cu4.jpg) , which were both far from great.

and this is as far the the BR got: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/1309/progressbv5.jpg

If you are going to unwrap it you should really make a texture that flows. Dont just throw a texture on there other wise it will look like trash you have seems you can see right now. You should also emboss the text so it looks like its stamped into the gun. If you want send me the model and I can texture it for you hit me up on aim x3bec.

Well mister, I was going off of the current Sigma list on Xfire so...

Greetings from the purgatory

*cough* ahem, no...

Hi, im arby from sigma. Yes we are still alive (sort of), grifball is on halt because math, chemistry and physics are eating my foot, so i spend my free time playing Lineage insted of scripting :D

But ill try to revive this thing somehow... Any help (textures, or anything else) would be greatly appreciated.

I missed you Arby.

What do you need help with Arby?

Well, basically a portable D4NO robot or an army of texture-men

Since the first one is impossible, ill stay with the second one :P

I need people who can texture (quality ones) and that can unwrap and texture using a pre-existing unwrap.

It would really help alot, because my texture skills suck.


PD: I need both weapons and enviroment textures :)

PDD: and yes dee, i missed you too lol

Nah dont worry. I have mines and they somewhat work, they require some fixes tho. Thanks anyway


Basically everything is done, we just need texturers
