Hey,

a LONG time ago now I mentioned the possibility of me making a complete custom weapon tutorial. Something that would cover modelling, unwrapping, texturing, animating, tagging, and sound FX.

Well, I finally got around to making it!

It is EXTREMELY long, but I hope that it will be especially helpful for new members who want to learn to create custom weapons.

Here are some pictures of the completed weapon (Yes it is simple, but anything more complicated and I would have never finished the tutorial)





I have a video currently uploading to youtube that will show the weapon in-game, I will edit this post and add it when it finishes.

I intend to upload the tutorial here on halomaps, on moddb, and to youtube (although to follow it on youtube you will still have to download everything but the videos, there are some included resources you will need).

I hope to have the tutorial zipped up and uploaded sometime in the next couple of days.

Let me know if you have any questions.



EDIT 1: Here is the video showing the weapon in-game:

EDIT 2:
Well I have the first three tutorial videos uploaded to youtube, I will continue uploading videos tomorrow.

EDIT 3: The first 7 videos are up on youtube now. The modelling stage is through and it is getting into the unwrapping stage.

I would appreciate any comments, its always nice to know you didn't go through a bunch of work for nothing :D (and the thread could use a bump so more people will see it :D)



EDIT 4: Not sure if anyone is keeping track of this, but the entire tutorial is now uploaded to youtube. I would love to get some comments/feedback/requests/anything to let me know that I didn't go through all that work for nothing.

Pretty nice ! The community need more tutorial like that, can't wait to see the video on you tube ! :)

in order to cover every step of the process.... it is kind of a lot more than one video :D

I think I may set a community record for longest tutorial EVER. lol.

(unless you are not talking about the tutorial itself... but rather the video showing the UMP in-game... that is just one)

good job on finishing this, i just noticed now that you got it all uploaded :)


sorry about the bump, but i doubt everyone that would be interested has seen it with all the links
added.

That's great news, this tutorial seems pretty good. Could you upload it to the official Halomaps archive? This way it's it won't ever disappear.

i just added the 29 links anyway incase they hadn't been added yet. i'm not sure if the way dennis has the video section setup, means the videos stream from you tube, or if they are stored on the server.

nvm

Hey, I appreciate the comments (and the bump) it was dissappointing to see the thread dissappear so quickly after all that work.
