fuck procrastinating, time to get organized as FUCK. i'm going to port the Monolith tomorrow, upscale the Necron Destroyer and then release the fucking zombie robots as soon as my trusted SFM guys can make some quick promo animations. after that it's MK6 Corvus time, fuck everything else because that shouldn't take more than a day anyway. then i'll work on the Gargants for a bit, get one of them done at least. then back to Space Marines, first i'll rearrange their textures and texture folders, and then i'll hopefully get the MK7 done. if not done, at least started. the next thing to do is to figure out how much more bodygroups i can slap on the Space Marine models and make some new bodygroup shit in general (robes, shoulder pads, bling). kick that shit up to the max, then start making Legion/Chapter reskins with the help of a friend. after i have 20 Legions and 10+ Chapters, it's time for release. after that will come the Orks. or Chaos. or Dreadnoughts. who knows.
there won't be any ETAs because i have other shit to do too; i'm constantly trying to do some songwriting while practicing the songs my band currently has in the works, and i also have to do the Dawn of War mod stuff. the Monolith will be certainly done tomorrow, that's for sure
SFM and especially IK rig compatibility will be ensured whenever possible
Daemon Prince will be released with the Necrons as a bonus, since it's 100% done.
here have something else
[img]http://i.cubeupload.com/josYvA.jpg[/img]
in-game shot featuring two versions of my "personal skin". i used the beta Terminator for this as you can see. the Berzerker version will come in handy when i start working on Chaos Marines since it already has some meshes/textures that will be used in those. also, Kharn helmet, hint hint nudge nudge
[editline]22nd June 2014[/editline]
the chain weapons have [I]animated blades[/I]
[editline]22nd June 2014[/editline]
at some point in time i'll also make special Necrons like Lords and Lychguard. shouldn't take too much time since i can use the Necrons i already have as bases and the new geometry/textures won't have to be very complicated or detailed
Awesome, now once thats released, time to make an epic SFM vid.
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/monolith-bdb318.jpg[/img]
just as i planned
the teleport gate will be upgraded with some sort of ripple effect soon but otherwise the thing is complete and done
Coo'
Holy shit a Monolith
Never stop being awesome Joazzz
while waiting for the UA guys to reply to my Gargant update i've been keeping myself busy with some upgrades and fixes:
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/LotsaDakka-fd332d.jpg[/img]
the Warlord's leg length has been corrected now, it towers above the Reaver but the gun scale is roughly the same to keep things consistent. "Epic 40,000" proportions basically. after these bodygroups are done and the $blendtintbybasealpha masks are ready the Titan is complete
i'm going to give it shoulder-mounted Apocalypse Missile Launchers of course. not sure about adding the Inferno Guns because i'm not sure how effective flame cannons would be when fired from so high, same deal with the Reaver's carapace mount
[editline]26th June 2014[/editline]
the Gatling Blaster barrels can be rotated by the way
doubletoast in the same day?

Awesome stuff.
quoting the images from a post directly above yours is heretically unnecessary
-fangirly squealing intensifies-
The army of Kleiners cannot stand against them
Did those kriegers get ported to Gmod yet or are they still SFM exclusive?
oooh yeah the Grenadier should be GMod-compatible now but the normal trooper was FUBAR to begin with
i'll test the Grenadier when i go in-game to mess with the Warlord again
i guess i could reverse-engineer the Guardsman from the Grenadier by taking off the extra armor

someone make a proper Lucius pattern Lasgun for the Krieger, i'm too busy. can't do all this shit myself you know
[editline]27th June 2014[/editline]
use a BAR as a base, it's got the reciever/stock/magwell down pretty well
If you ever want help testing models from someone that has no clue how to test models, let me know.
I'd love to work with those here 'n' there.
Me too! :v:
here's the current weapon load on the Warlord
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/titanweapons-1f638b.gif[/img]
still needs Mega-Bolters and Vortex Missile launchers (maybe) on the shoulders, and Quake Cannons and Plasma Destructors on the arms
let's see if i can cram all this stuff within Source's polygon limits
Amazing, keep up the good work Joazzz!
Holy crap man, you're like a machine, Joazzz. Why aren't you on Mars with the techpriests?
...Unless you are?
Anyway, good stuff. I was just looking up some stuff about Titans earlier today, so this is a pleasant surprise. :P
plasma destructors added

improvised design by yours truly
[editline]28th June 2014[/editline]
i'm skimming the very limits of the engine though, to get the Quake Cannons and Mega-Bolters in i'm going to have to strip some more detail from the bodygroup meshes
is it a compile issue or the "too many verts" error in game?
-nothing was said here-
Compile issue
are you doing a multi-piece compile? apparently that will compile a bunch of parts separately and then merge the files. you'd have to ask someone who has actually done it though.
alternatively, just separate the weapons. anyone who wants to do poses can place them manually or attach them and anything animated is going to want to use attachments anyway.
i'm compiling it from pieces
at the moment i'm thinking of doing a few different versions with different weapon loads if i can't make one version with all the guns
the shoulder-mounted Mega-Bolters are going to be separate props though; since bone manipulation in Milkshape is the biggest bitch in the world i'm going to make them props with their own bones so the rotating barrels can be animated
[quote] since bone manipulation in Milkshape is the biggest bitch [/quote]
Changing animations in NATIVE supported fucking titles like AvP2 didn't even work right, I can only imagine what happens to imported stuff.
yeh that's why every time i want to add a bone, i have to:
add it
export the SMD
correct all the bone angles fucked up by the addition of a new joint (meaning all of them) by editing the SMD's joint coordinate lines in Notepad
save
re-import
then start editing the lines for the new joint, trial-and-erroring one value at a time to correct its position and angle :v:
I think making the titan usable with the bone merge tool will allow you to make a single titan model capable of complete custom loadouts while maintaining your preferred high quality. Each arm and shoulder with have their own bodygrouped gun model to be bone merged so you won't have to worry about one single compile being too much.
I don't know shit about how to make bone merge stuff so it could be harder than it seems in my head.
well i've already made three models with different arm bodygroup selections
the next thing to do is re-rig the Necrons so they're IK compatible ([B]SERIOUSLY VALVE I MEAN FUCKING CHRIST WHY IS EVERYTHING ALWAYS SO NEEDLESSLY HARD MAKE SOMETHING SIMPLE FOR ONCE FOR FUCKS SAKEFJAEWGHWAGGIJHWAJGHAJGWA[/B]) so they can be released
[editline]30th June 2014[/editline]
i'm going to see if i could use bonemerge to snap the Gauss Blaster's hose to the Immortal's spine though
We need Catachan.
No way you Death Korps boys would last a week on a [B]REAL[/B] death world.
finally a Space Marine update
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/Da_Beekie_Iz_In_Da_Ouse-15343e.png[/img]
currently finishing the leg bodygroups for diz wun
ive also started reorganizing the textures, so we can have more more marines with less files
here's something else i made while the Necron IK mess was being sorted out
