Hollow model using blender?

[grunewald]

Hey Everyone!

i've been code Lua for quit some while, then decided i wanted to do some modelling.

i am trying to make a box, like a "hollow" box, when i view my prop in hlmv then i can see the Physics model is not going to way i want.

$modelname "grunewald/crate.mdl"

$scale 50

$body 1 "crate.smd"

$cdmaterials ""

$surfaceprop "plastic"

$contents "solid"

$sequence idle	"crate_idle.smd"

$collisionmodel "crate.smd"
{
	$mass 100
	$inertia 1
	$damping 0
	$rotdamping 0
}

oh yea, maybe i made a little mistake here, i though it was quit implicit that i am trying to do models for gmod, but yea atleast now i told you guys :)

$concave

[grunewald]

for some reason i cannot get it working :(

$modelname "grunewald/newcrate.mdl"

$scale 20

$body 1 "newcrate.smd"

$cdmaterials ""

$surfaceprop "plastic"

$contents "solid"

$sequence idle	"newcrate_idle.smd"

$collisionmodel "newcrate.smd"
{
	$concave
	$mass 100
	$inertia 1
	$damping 0
	$rotdamping 0
}

Try this and replace the TYPE with your names.

    ERROR: c:\users\tobias\desktop\tutorials\cube.qc(28): - could not load file 'snake_anims\idle.smd'

so i replaced that with my own idle, but still din't workout :(

[Leonpg]

yeah because you dident change the idle path. If you have it rename it in the qc.

$Sequence "idle" {
	"newcrate_idle.smd"
	fadein 0.2
	fadeout 0.2
	fps 30
}

Here it is fixed for your model.

He had it correct the first time, that Crowbar QC you posted is actually worse.

To have a concave collisionmodel you need to give all the pieces their own smoothing for the $concave command to do anything.

[grunewald]

well, i just tried that out, still no result :(

can u lead me on the way on how to smooth it correctly? i am still new to 3d modelling.
all i have learned so far is by a paid account cgcookie
