[release][tab]Name:[/tab] Chickenstick! [tab]Version:[/tab] 1.1 [tab]Description:[/tab] Fried chicken model (now w/ bumpmap) + background made with it [tab]Requirements:[/tab] None [tab]Download:[/tab] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=50322][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=50322[/img][/url] [/release] :v: My very first foray into modeling, I decided I'd make something both functional and hilarious! I made a fried chicken drumstick and created a background to go with it, just for laughs. Tell me what you think, and I promise my next model will be loads better.

This update adds a bump map, making the model twice as sexy. You can get it by clicking the download link above.

You need better textures...

True he does, but it's a great model.

[QUOTE=sOmEcRaZyGuY]You need better textures...[/QUOTE] Suggestions? I don't know how to make a great friend chicken texture, so I used Photoshop's pattern maker. It turned out good enough for me, but far from professional. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=Teh_Cheese]True he does, but it's a great model.[/QUOTE] Why thank you. I tried hard to get a good shape. :science:

It's texture is kinda fine but it needs a normal map to make it look awesome.

How do I make a normal map?! Nobody has told me how yet, and I can't find a decent tutorial... :( I did make this one image that's mostly blue, but with some purple highlights from one tutorial, but I don't know what to do with it from there.

Wow... that kind of helped... I know bump maps are possible within 3ds max, I just don't know how to apply them correctly. Every time I try, the bump material overwrites the texture.

Download "Crazybump" When you make the bumpmap, be sure to save it as a .tga, and then import it into VTF-Edit. You can then export it as a .vtf, and rename it as "texturename_normal" or "texturename_n" Be sure to add this line, under your "basetexture" line of code in your material file. [code] "$bumpmap" "models\lolmodels/texturename_normal"[/code]

I'm editing the main post if anyone cares to download a new version of my model that adds a bumpmap.

wow, very nice! :D finally we can have more than a burger and fries model! This'll go great with evo-city's kfc!

why does the background seem kinda...racist...o well i guess i'm not one to say

Oh lawd is dat sum racism?

Nice!

Make it so you can see a little bit of bone showing towards the part where you hold it. I mean skin it, not model it.

I don't plan on changing this one anymore, now that it's functional and looks good. But thanks for the compliments! I never thought it would be so easy to make a first model actually look GOOD.

Hey, I was CLOSE! Crazy doesn't go with bumps in my head :(

Actually, I didn't use CrazyBump. I used an Nvidia bumpmap plugin for Photoshop. But thanks anyways.

HEAVY SANDVICH REPLACEMENT NOW.

[QUOTE=Flaming Neko]HEAVY SANDVICH REPLACEMENT NOW.[/QUOTE] HELL YES. Too bad I a) don't know how, and b) couldn't make bites come off.

[QUOTE=Owosso]HELL YES. Too bad I a) don't know how, and b) couldn't make bites come off.[/QUOTE] Open the sandvich model, see what it uses for attachment points and bite marks, apply to your model, make a model with a bite in it. Place model and stuff in the exact folder as it is in the GFC (IE models/weapons/sandwich.mdl) ??? Profit!

I might try something like that later on.

lol oh sure make it the black guy that loves fried chicken and a watermelon how original

[QUOTE=CodenameGM54]lol oh sure make it the black guy that loves fried chicken and a watermelon how original[/QUOTE] What? EVERYONE loves fried chicken and watermelon. Ahahaha.:downs:

Why are people going on that the picture is racist? There's nothing racist about this.

[QUOTE=g1real]Why are people going on that the picture is racist? There's nothing racist about this.[/QUOTE] it's obviously racist because there is a black guy :v:

:O Chicken! I'm gunna make a frozen chicken viewmodel!

We need that as a model replacement for the Sandvich.

You should texture on some bone, it looks weird it's completely covered with chicken.

[QUOTE=kevlar jens]You should texture on some bone, it looks weird it's completely covered with chicken.[/QUOTE] If you go down to KFC, order a bucket of crispy chicken. And then tell me they ALL look weird with no bone. Honestly, I probably would add a bone, but I'm just too lazy at the moment. Also, I wasn't really going for the "caveman drumstick" approach, I wanted a crispy fried chicken drumstick (and that means breaded).
