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

[t]http://files.1337upload.net/wipshot-0cb90b.jpg[/t][/QUOTE]

Give the green zones some darker edges so that they don't look so monocoloured. Just looks really weird.

You could actually connect a green FX glow to them. (I think ep2 antlion grubs have the right glow, alternatively could just make one yourself) Here's a qc example of attaching the FX to the model - I attached it to specific bones which are placed in where I want the glow to be.

$attachment "L-glow" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1" 1.222 -3.463 68.606 absolute
$attachment "R-glow" "ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1" -1.222 -3.463 68.606 absolute
$keyvalues
	{
		particles
			{
				effect
					{
						name				"vort_hand_glow"
						attachment_type		"follow_attachment"
						attachment_point		"l-glow"
					}
				effect
					{
						name				"vort_hand_glow"
						attachment_type		"follow_attachment"
						attachment_point		"r-glow"
					}
				}
	}

ye i'm planning to do that, i'll also make the orbs on the back smaller

[editline]3rd July 2014[/editline]

wow didn't know that FX trick was possible, i could try that i guess. working with joints in Milkshape is a bitch though

[editline]4th July 2014[/editline]

here's the full selection of helmets available for the Mk6

[t]http://files.1337upload.net/helmetgallery-fa93e7.jpg[/t]

amazingly enough, they all use the same diffuse map. hooray for easy reskinning

many of these - not all - will also be available in the MK4, 5 and 7 sets. furthermore, the upper middle right one will also be used in Crusade/Heresy-era Terminator models

i've also sent the old MK2 helmet to the dump and made a new one, but don't have any pics of that yet. i'll show when i get to overhauling the MK2 and MK3 suits

[editline]4th July 2014[/editline]

here's some other bodygroup options

[/QUOTE]

You don't actually need to work with the joints specifically, as the FX attaches to an attachment. I just tend to make a bone in the place where I want it. But you can pretty much attach it to the head bone for instance and get the place for it in HLMV

[Joazzz]

HLMV has a tool for that?

shit i feel like i've been doing things the hard way again

[editline]4th July 2014[/editline]

the spike is in a bodygroup

think i'm done for today

Mmmmm.... dem helmet variants.

I especially like the other Maximus variant at the top left of the picture.

[Joazzz]

second page? HERESY! here comes the MK7

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/SPEHS-beed3f.jpg[/img]

one model, with bodygroups. i'm also doing certain upgrades to the older armor suits such as better leg bionics

Warlord Titan might be released as a standalone model soon

[Joazzz]

did someone say DARK ANGELS?

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/battlemonk-b12f01.jpg[/img]

[Ninja Nub[NOR]]

more like dork angels!!!!

that is pretty cool though

Well you know I'm gonna skin that.

FOR THE LION!!

[Joazzz]

i had to strip a few bodygroups though, so now the MK7 set will be divided into three models:

-basic
-"fancy"
-commander

basic is simple Marine armor with few ornaments, commander has the most bling, and "fancy" is for veterans and officer dudes and such

[inexact]

Heyheyhey! random guest here! I dare one of you guys to make a thresher noise marine!

i'll keep that in mind when i get to making Chaos

Thank the dark ones, I suggested that years back.

And someone needs to make newer Tau models. For the greater moo.

[QUOTE=Vipes;45320880]And someone needs to make newer Tau models. For the greater moo.[/QUOTE]i wish someone else got on this too. i can't do everything by myself. well, of course i CAN but it would take a very, very, very long time. my ultimate goal and dream is to get and make HD models of all the main armies and i'd be happy if someone got to making Eldar or Tau, maybe even Nids. and let's not forget the Imperial Guard

i could give guidance and instruction too, to ensure a decent level of quality

As long as someone does it, and there's a newer Tau Firewarrior Playermodel out of it, I'm happy. I would hope it ends up supporting Playercolor like mine though.

Mmmm. I had been working on some custom textures for Wraithcat's Space Marines and Fussy!/Bloocobalt's Imperial Guards, just haven't released them on the Workshop. If you want, I could get back into the swing of things.

[Joazzz]

well Wraith's marines will soon be obsolete, but anything related to the Guard would be great

[Kommandant4298]

I'll have to get in contact with Bloo then as it was his Imperial Guard models I was using for the textures.

[Joazzz]

were those ever released anyway? i remember them being excellent

[Viper123_SWE]

Fussy! released his Chaos edit of them without Bloos permission, Bloo wants everybody who still have them not to share them.

[Slim Charles]

they're p good other than some weird proportions and the design of the armor is eh and it has terrible fallout modder rigging

[Joazzz]

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;45326020]Bloo wants everybody who still have them not to share them.[/QUOTE]hahahaha what

gonna need a VERY good explanation for that, the fucking things have been private for what, three years now? that's nearing "Nexus_Elite" levels of heretical

[Viper123_SWE]

Don't look at me yo, it's Bloos models.

[BBarnes005]

He probably lost them when his hard drive crashed.

[Kommandant4298]

So that mean's they are scrubbed. In that case, I'll see if I can use wraithcats IG models for some texture hexes to get more IG regiments out there, with her permission of course.

[Joazzz]

i'm literally only a few more meshes and bodygroup tweaks away from having the model side of all the Marines finished and ready

then it's time to take care of the texturing side, which i've actually already started on

[editline]9th July 2014[/editline]

want a little update?

i made an alternative Beakie with vertical side grills. doesn't replace the old one

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/newbeakie-910cf7.jpg[/img]

fourth robe setup for Black Templars and such

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/robeloincloth-9da557.jpg[/img]

some bodygroups for the "basic" version

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/bodygroupgallery-bf123a.jpg[/img]

[editline]9th July 2014[/editline]

also, as some of you might know, each arm, leg, shoulder pad, torso and helmet had its own diffuse texture and bumpmaps. that makes reskinning and file managing a little difficult. so i cut some corners and...

[img]http://files.1337upload.net/sm_armour_mk7-b468b0.jpg[/img]

left some room in the lower right corner in case i still want to add something. the full size version is 2048x2048 of course

i'll do some more texture fusion tomorrow, might combine the backpack textures; and the old armor sets could use some merging too i think

[editline]9th July 2014[/editline]

i'm not sure if the MK4 Maximus torso piece fits the "basic" armor, it's an archaic design and usually reserved to officers and veterans after all. it can be found in the "Fancy" armor set anyway, so should i remove it from this one?

[editline]9th July 2014[/editline]

when i'm done with the model side of things, it's time to start making the texture masks for reskinning. GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

[Kommandant4298]

Impressive. Hey, as I said for the IG. If you need help with some reskins, I'll willing to help.

Here's proof of concept:

Please remember that these were done ages ago when I was getting into the swing of things, and I had crap tech on my side. Things should be a little different nowadays.

[Joazzz]

eeeuuuuugh those colors are way too vibrant, it's like they hopped out of WH40K: Chaos Gate. the White Scar is the only one that looks proper

however since we're going to need all the original Legions, a few of their corrupted versions, the First Founding Chapters and some of the Successors, i'll take all the help i can get
