{MODEL} Human Pistol

JRCougar17 · Post by **JRCougar17** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 11:29 am

I tried to make a human pistol today, this is my first model ever. Thanks to Philly for teaching me. Anyways not much to say, it is not entirley done, but I will make changes in a new version. I tried to flatten it as much as possible, as well as move the butt of the gun to not such an off curved position. Skin not included.

Screenshots:

That's really not bad for a first, though that skin looks corrupted...

I thought the assualt rifle skin would look cool on the pistol, but I failed miserably, and I don't have the normal pistol skin. I just wanted gray-ish steel color ( not like the orginal skin).

well why dont you include that skin?

The model looks great, BUT the skins needs some work, so make your own skin next time, and don't use the Assault rifles, Tip just because a skin looks good one 1 thing, doesn't mean it will look good on something else.

The model looks realy nice! i know nothing about moddeling but it looks real good to me 8/10 for the model... as for the skin, The reason it didnt look the way you wanted is because... the pistol cubemap makes it shiny so you need to swap the pistol cubemap with "caracters\cyborg\bitmaps/detail corroded metal" (i think thats what the assult rifle uses

) and you need to put the assult rifle on the multipurpose as well... i couldnt show you what it looks like on your model because i downloaded and tried to import it in HMT and it said to many vertices or somethen... but heres what it looks like with the normal pistol, you might wanna edit the assult rifle skin or make a new one from scratch to make it looks alot better like get rid of that green thing and stuff, but if you wanted to get rid of the shiny stuff do the swapping with the cubemap but thats probably the easiest way... Im probably completely wrong though

(please tell me if i am) I just realy like this model and id love to see it with a nice skin and stuff. but heres a screenshot of what it looks like on mine with the "caracters\cyborg\bitmaps/detail corroded metal" instead of the pistol cubemap, and with assult rifle main skin and with the multipurpose as well, but your probably best off making a new skin for it.... (cant import the model though)

The reason it didnt import is because you probably didnt put it in the /pistol_fp. Try that and it should work, btw thanks for the skinning help.

Edit: I reckon the way you did it (shiny) looks better than the way i did it

I made that mistake when making the model lol. I really like that look on my pistol, I suck at skinning so this is good. I'm making more human weapons that I'll probably put into a pack.

^^

Agreed.

This is pretty good for a first, and I dare say I might DL it, 7/10.

Though it might be an idea to fix up that stray vert.

Thanks for the feedback, what is a good way to fix the stray vert? I can't seem to find it on my model.

I can't seem to find the stay vert! I almost ruined my model by messing with stuff. Could someone point out where this stray vert is in this picture?

If you need to you can zoom in I believe.

You need to export the model from the map you imported it too, then you can see the stray vert.

I did that as you said, I saw the stray vert (I think) and pushed it back into the gun. Then I start up the map and its still there!

EDIT: LOL, I know its there pepsi, I just can't find it on my model![quote
