[QUOTE=RikohZX;30627016]Man, for the way they handled the camera system (technically ARMA-style, with the camera attached to the head and the player's animations all carefully done to fit it), they really cut the detail on the back ends of the weapons. Like the Freeze Ray - the front parts that you'll always see are really high quality, and then the back parts that you'd never normally see are really low-quality. :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
Pretty much like valve did with the hl2 viewmodels.

Playing around with the phong lines, it seems the higher it is the less phong and the lower it is the more phong it gets. Anyways, hows this look for the Freeze ray or does it look the same?

Looks the same, tone it down more so its noticable but not plastic-looking.

Also, not really, all of valves games use third person models yes, but the viewmodels are highly detailed, seperate models that only you can see, and they make the player model invisible to you during gameplay (except for L4D1's legs)

I'm trying to push up the phongexponent so I can get it to look right but it just remains the same, unlike the freeze ray and shotgun

Phong Exponent just affects the tightness of the shine; higher number = smaller, brighter shine, while smaller number = wider, dimmer shine.
After a point (usually around 80) the shine doesn't get much smaller until it is around 200.
Use it in conjunction with Phong Boost (higher number = brighter, lower = dimmer) until you find something good.

Damn, great job. This is going to be awesome. Wonder if it's possible to make a white board entity...
Oh and, Jason, I've always wondered something. Did you make your personal model or did someone else make it for you?

Who was it? I've been wanting a personal model. (Chances are though that I'll get a "no" and I'll have to end up making one myself some how)

Well Dean (A Big Ass) did the skin for me and Enhanced_AI hacked the mask
Dean hates personal skins now apparently and Enhanced is done with Gmod

Phong boost doesn't determine the overall brightness of the phong. You need a proper map in the alpha channel of the normal map in order to really control brightness.
With most guns (and metal for that matter), you want a broad shine rather than a tight shine when it comes to phong. A high exponent looks good for little details like scratches and whatnot, but having it all over the texture makes it look wet. I'd also look in to making exponent maps to control that.

Forgot to mention that, but he's already got that covered by the looks of it. A flat white alpha in the normal usually looks much... ickier than that.

You want sharp specularity on the scratched surfaces, as well as have it somewhat brighter. And you'll want somewhat smoother, duller on the painted ones.
If there's no direct spec map just make it off the diffuse - use the yellow for a darker base, with making the scratches brighter.
This all sounds like to much, I'm just going to remove the phong and leave it as it is

It really isn't that difficult...you basically just need to make a grayscale specular that you put in the alpha channel of the normal map to control phong intensity, and another grayscale texture that controls the exponent. Darker means broader shine, while lighter means tighter shine. Simple as that.

Also, murphy7 is doing more than "having a life" "sleeping"

Remember these joindate medals I concepted?

So here's the status: murphy7 modeled, unwrapped, and textured them. There's just one thing I don't like about his UVs: they're not set up to support different class logos.
Murphy gave me the files before he dropped off the earth a while back... would anyone be willing to re-uv or otherwise help out? I have the files, just comment if you want 'em.[/QUOTE]
[editline]24th June 2011[/editline]
So unless murphy can make models of quality in his sleep, back off.
