All this stuff is looking great, I somehow want valve to put this in the actual game when it's done as an option for low end computers.

Noobcake, [i]you can't model[/i]. [/QUOTE]
While I agree that it doesn't look like the Brain Bucket (and it's already been made anyway), you don't really need to be a master modeler to participate in this.

He's failed at making boxes. I think that speaks for itself.

Let's not start to mocking about the new guy, ok. We don't know how long does he practice making 3D models.
I have told it here once, you guys need to control yourself. that's for Hideous too.
Let's make constructive comments instead of just deliberated expose our anger and genius. Please!

Well, he's got stuff in Medieval so a few months, definitely. I'm not angry or anything, I'm just trying to help him out because well, he won't get any better if he doesn't realize he needs to get better.
um, i need to adress an importnat issue about the player models...
the scout doesnt technically have the dogtags as a part of his model, (i can substitute a fake submodel, that both are blank) BUT this causes an issue for me as it screws with the original style of his model, now this isnt the first time i have raised the issue of the dogtags, i proposed the option of them being a part of the actuall model, but was still indebate over weather or not to go through with it, after some talking with Revenant 100, we decide not to, now that The sign of the Wolf School is a part of the witcher 2 pack, that beings up this issue, should we leave it, keeping the model as is, and adding it in as a seperate model for it, or should i model the dogtags and get someone to remove it from the texture?

Just model them with polygon strips and remove them from the texture.

Seems to be missing the crack that the original sports on the visor.
alrighty revenant 100 is getting the tags removed from the textures, ima put thye new tags on the model
[QUOTE=Guillebon;30139318]Is anyone good at texturing here?
I can compile the models and then someone else makes the textures...[/QUOTE]
I'd be happy to do the textures if the UV's already laid out for me
just looks kinda funny to have the default animations on such lowpoly models.
you also need low res particle effect textures or completely redone effects.
Which models are done/being done? I feel like contributing. For science.
I'm back!

Boston Basher has been done, Zebus.

Yeah i saw. mine is better optimized though.
[QUOTE=Insaneicide;30143540]i hav made my own sniper hands, they are much better than the player hands in the pack, and use about a third of the default player model hands

current tricount is 670 on the dot
each knuckle is modeled so that everything looks and runs smoothly, after i rig them to the skeleton[/QUOTE]
I like how you managed to get so much personality into the hands while still keeping them so simple
[QUOTE=Zebus;30155741]Yeah i saw. mine is better optimized though.[/QUOTE]
surely using a pyramid for each spike would use the same number of tris, and not require an alpha map?

I think the stake can have less polys. and the Amputator definitely can have less. the blade should be a 2D side shape.
[QUOTE=Hideous_;30146538]Can I say something? I'm going to say something.
Noobcake, [i]you can't model[/i]. I'm serious. This thing doesn't look remotely like the Brain Bucket. I don't particularly like telling people they're not good at things, but [i]you're not good at this[/i] - and unless you know that you won't get any better either. You should make sure you know what you're actually doing before you try to join in on a project like this.
That's all, folks.[/QUOTE]
Okay, practice time! Without progress posts.
[QUOTE=pogothemunty;30155834]surely using a pyramid for each spike would use the same number of tris, and not require an alpha map?[/QUOTE]
and if the pyramids were three sided, as in just 3 triangles, it would be less wouldn't it?
and the least would have to be 2 trangles instead of 2 rectagles
also if the short sides are flat shouldn't the triangles all connect in one corner rather then in the middle?
What hasn't been done yet? I wanna contribute.
hey, has anybody tried a low res lightwarp?
[QUOTE=Recurracy;30156760]What hasn't been done yet? I wanna contribute.[/QUOTE]
low res lightwarp?
also if the models are without normalmaps atm i would like to try that once i get home
that is... if you want them normalmapped
[QUOTE=pogothemunty;30155834]surely using a pyramid for each spike would use the same number of tris, and not require an alpha map?[/QUOTE]
Actually no, the spike goes through the bat and acts as 2 spikes. a pyramid (i originally used) uses double the tris.

clever! but if each spike was just 2 trangles positioned like they are now, it would give you the same amount of triangles and wouldn't need transparancy or to be marked out in the texture

I concur, the current method wastes a lot of uv space
To me it seems like all you're doing is decreasing the polycount. I really don't see a point in doing this but...it's your opinion.
wonder how small someone could make the polycount pin
[QUOTE=psyke;30157522]wonder how small someone could make the polycount pin[/QUOTE]
depends how round you want it - 6, 8 tris? Doesn't need the reverse side

amputator is fine except it needs tohave a flat blade, like hecates said, other thatn that its fine
as for the boston basher, i tried flat spikes on the stickybombs, and it worked but looked like complete and total shit, we arent gonna get lazy and to 2 planes perpendicular to eachother to try and save some polys,i think that if you use 4our sided pyramid spikes, (with the bottom not solid) it uses the same amount, 3 side and you save a tri per spike
[editline]31st May 2011[/editline]
[QUOTE=psyke;30157522]wonder how small someone could make the polycount pin[/QUOTE]
well, if we base it off the already existing medals, we can get it to be 3 tris (6 sided and flat, but i would prefer it be reaised or rounded, so add 2 tris per side so thats 15)

This project offers an alternate artsyle, a more retro look, and because of the vast simplification, a great performance boost. :eng101:
