At least he posts WIP pictures and doesn't show any signs of just dropping off the face of the earth with what's been done so far like a lot of other people do.
Not to make a jab at any other modellers because I know it's a lot of work, but it's hardly a rare occurrence where people post WIPs and then never release something.
my general thesis is that if i show it, i'll release it. that's why i'm also making backups of all the progress; because even if this laptop breaks for whatever reason, i'll make sure that the project can be continued later on and eventually released
[QUOTE=Garfuncle;47199535]No, but we probably won't have a 65 page thread based on wanking the guy porting them while not getting any actual models.[/QUOTE]
The alternative approach is to not say anything at all. Sure you never get the impatient whining you specifically are producing when you go about it this way.
But it also means whenever you do show something it's pretty much a huge kick in the balls for anyone else involved.
Here is one such example. Still a work in progress.

Does this make you feel better or worse Garfuncle?
well it sure makes me feel a lot worse and kicked my nuts up to my lungs :v

plus i never managed to find any of the official Librarian files myself
Apparently making models that literally don't exist in any modern video game is inane. Thanks for clearing that up garfuncle.
i can see his point, sort of, but these things always take time and i expect people to be patient. in the end, it will pay off. Garfuncle sounds like one of those Workshop idiots who want to rip your guts out because you didn't make a playermodel for them... or you did but it's not good enough and you're an idiot for even trying
not because of his message, but because of how angry he seems to be about the whole thing
How ironic it is that sometimes I see playermodels released for things I've been waiting to pose (BFH SWAT, some Dark Souls models) and I get salty that a proper, poseable ragdoll hasn't been released :v:
Still, it'll be great to finally have some good warhammer models when you're done.
If you want joazzz I can teach you how to bake down geometry to normals. Helps make the low poly stuff blend in with what relic has going.
many thanks for the offer, but i'll stick to hand-drawn heightmaps/photshop trickery. i feel like learning a new technique at this point could be too distracting to me
can someone remind me which space marines are the most up to date? theyre kind scattered and i forgot
[QUOTE=Luxuria;47200398]can someone remind me which space marines are the most up to date? theyre kind scattered and i forgot[/QUOTE]if you happen to come by Nirrti's Blood Raven and Black Templar models, i'd say those are
well, in addition to the Ultramarine captain, Wraith also ported two types of Chaos Marine, but the scale she used is different from Nirrti's so they're a bit smaller
Neat, thanks dude.
Did I miss out on the progress on the flamers? Or have you not started on those yet?
haven't gotten to doing handheld weapons properly yet, other than the Boltgun variants
light glow skingroup for all vehicles

i've also decided to put all the Land Raider's weapons in the front sponsons, with only the Terminus Ultra having twin linked lascannons on the back door slots. this is because, well, why put a huge frigging cannon BEHIND the exit hatch so that the disembarking troops are directly in it's line of fire and thus rendering it ineffective as a support weapon, when you can put the door behind the WEAPON so that it can create a barrier of dakka for the infantry as they move in/out? this also frees up a bunch of polygons so i can finally put heavy flamers and meltas on the damn thing and that way complete the weapon loadouts for all variants
i'll update y'all on the overall progress of the Space Marine side of things later on, now i have a gig to play
i made some updates to the Thunderhawk
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/thunderhawk_updates1-663cea.jpg[/img]
improved the geometry on the cockpit and the front hatch
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/thunderhawkupdates3-f312da.jpg[/img]
proper, modeled side doors. the old ones were just textures and not even good ones

remade the interior almost completely
Just wondering, will the space marine also have the helmet-less head with the mouth mask? (I'm not sure what that part is really called)
yes i'll give all the bare heads a respirator bodygroup
are the aircraft and vehicles ragdolls or bodygrouped?
So how well could these guys pass off as vostryans.

I'd say pretty well, a bit more grey hair and bigger hats IMO though.
bigger hats, fancy beards and coats and gas masks and ornate lasguns
We should port more things from the Warmachine game :v:
[QUOTE=justinl132;47235678]are the aircraft and vehicles ragdolls[/QUOTE]props, for more detailed physics and easier compatibility with different kinds of turrets and such
[QUOTE=justinl132;47235678]bodygrouped?[/QUOTE]well you don't pay much attention do you
some of the bodygroup options on the MK7_Leader.mdl, formerly MK7_Commander.mdl
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/BloodAngelChampion-b992cb.jpg[/img]
not done though, i still have one more type of pauldrons to add
sorry i meant to say if we needed the joint tool, i had something on my mind
oh yeah Joint Tool (or better, Advanced Bone Tool) is absolutely a requirement for all the Marines and vehicles
Where do I download these models?
nowhere, i haven't released them. if i had, you'd know about it already. read before posting.
everything i've shown will be released when it's ready

they look like they could be some kind of special regiment but the firstborns look quite different, they have like a red coat feel to their uniform.
