throwing in a skylight and calling it work isn't special. Same goes for raytrace materials

umm.. look at the finger placement in holding the gun, that is something special

It isnt really difficult... They are good renders though so nice work.

Would it be possible to send me all of the models that you extracted from the game, and put them in 3ds formatt. I have a new idea for several things. Thanks.
if you can plase send em to this address [email protected]
or aim me : Shadowmaster382

Thanks.

those arent exactly renderworthy quality, especially the mc

Moving some bones is something special?

except its not rigged, and even if it was, try rigging fingers... its not easy

If they are rigged properly it is easy, very easy. Just use a character biped and spacewarp it.

How did you get thoses models out of the game? I've looked in the game folders on my pc and whatnot but can only find '.map' files.
How do you open these?

<- confused

LOL, i wish it was that easy to make a CORRECT and FUNCTIONAL rig

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 7:59 am

Oh, but it is. Create a biped to the right size, and then you can do an automatic spacewarp to vertex, sometimes some vertexes connect to the wrong area of the biped, but it usually works fine, its easy to change.

For a project I was working on when I went to Data Scope, I had to rig character models, i managed about 300 in 2 weeks of working there (it was work experience so thats all I had, meh) Going back there novemeber next year for a month.

No matter how close the biped is, there will still be vertices connected that you dont want... unless the model is very simple.. which this is not, the armour makes a very tricky rigging

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 8:13 am

Possibly, but for most of my models, most of them were random soccer players, I had no problems, they had nice clean meshers, the IK's worked perfectly.

For the MC, you could choose where the IK joints are, which is where the "cloth" part of him would be, would take not much longer, but the only problem I can really see is the shoulder area.

Also diddnt supreme taco rig that arm that he used? It might not be so but it was up for download.

trust me, for this model you have to go through every envelope and make sure there are not vertices on wrong parts of the armour.... for every joint

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Fri Dec 24, 2004 12:30 pm

Still not that difficult.. Scaling the envelopes doesnt take long at all.

But it does take a long time going through every bone and making sure it doesnt have a part of another part of the armour..... dont insist its easy when you have no idea
