What programs did you use?

[KingArthur]

Good job. :)

[jaik]

I saw no w_ model for mercsuit, so I decided to port that.
However, the result was quite amusing.
Yes, that little DOT is a merc suit.

I need more experience to work on the playermodels, so you have to wait for that.

[jaik]

Fixed, ready to use


Thanks to Raviool

Wow! Great job on that Jake! I have always wanted a W_model for that. Now it's time to port the AS-VAL.

I am sure we have that one.

[Bielecki]

Nice work, though I wonder how they will be dished out.

[andrewhatesyou]

Also, knowing Exile, he will never put these into the server.

Or made donator-only, but, we will see.

After correct rigging:



I need to learn how to weight map.

[Yorty]

You mind setting your texture setting to "High"?

[jaik]

You mind setting your texture setting to "High"?

There won't be any actual improvement on the model

Correct Rigging

Are...

Are you sure?

[jaik]

Textures stretch because of the missing weighting procedure.

[Ragolution]

Textures stretch because of the missing weighting procedure.

Why..

Why would you do that?

Weighting is totally important.
That's something Necrobard could do if you totally can't.

It also looks like you totally fucked up rigging the hands.

|HGN-DEV| Jake: This should work
BabyFawnLegs: excellent
BabyFawnLegs: That's better!
|HGN-DEV| Jake: alright
BabyFawnLegs: Hmm
BabyFawnLegs: There's something very unusual about this model
BabyFawnLegs: Was it ripped from somewhere?
|HGN-DEV| Jake: Correct.
BabyFawnLegs: It's got some problems that I don't think are helping it
BabyFawnLegs: There seems to be a lot of flipped and unwelded faces on it
|HGN-DEV| Jake: There are faces which aren't assigned to a bone?
BabyFawnLegs: No, it's a different problem all together; we'll cross the bridge when we come to it
BabyFawnLegs: right now I'll just examine the weights
BabyFawnLegs: ah, actually
BabyFawnLegs: I think this might be the whole problem
|HGN-DEV| Jake: Huh?
BabyFawnLegs: There's some kind of malformed siamese mesh attached to this one
BabyFawnLegs: which is like.. webbing between the limbs
|HGN-DEV| Jake: You mean the one under his shoulder?
BabyFawnLegs: It's kind of all over
|HGN-DEV| Jake: lol
|HGN-DEV| Jake: what exactly
BabyFawnLegs: I'm not sure what it is
BabyFawnLegs: http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3128/whatisitl.jpg
BabyFawnLegs: All of those guys were in there!
|HGN-DEV| Jake: don't know
|HGN-DEV| Jake: I have only one person in here
|HGN-DEV| Jake: lol
|HGN-DEV| Jake: how did you get them
|HGN-DEV| Jake: actually
|HGN-DEV| Jake: I don't think I want to know
BabyFawnLegs: I examined the model with the 'editable mesh' modifier and picked them out with the 'select by element' tool; the one that looks like a cube
BabyFawnLegs: haha =P
|HGN-DEV| Jake: well
|HGN-DEV| Jake: were they attached?
|HGN-DEV| Jake: I really have only one guy here
BabyFawnLegs: They're attached by the vertices aren't welded
BabyFawnLegs: they're all kind of layered on top of eachother and that's why they look webbed
|HGN-DEV| Jake: lol
|HGN-DEV| Jake: now wait
|HGN-DEV| Jake: how did you take them out
|HGN-DEV| Jake: if I move the whole model
|HGN-DEV| Jake: some faces
|HGN-DEV| Jake: are just there
|HGN-DEV| Jake: and the whole thing stretches
BabyFawnLegs: I just cloned the mesh and deleted the rest of it to isolate the siamese twin
|HGN-DEV| Jake: oh god
|HGN-DEV| Jake: OH GOD
BabyFawnLegs: :U
|HGN-DEV| Jake: why is it
|HGN-DEV| Jake: like this
BabyFawnLegs: I'm not sure
BabyFawnLegs: I think something went horribly wrong when it was extracted Xl
|HGN-DEV| Jake: I don't know really
|HGN-DEV| Jake: what the hell am I supposed to do
BabyFawnLegs: Yeah there are like eight billion vertices in there =l
BabyFawnLegs: there are probably 50 guys in there
|HGN-DEV| Jake: what should I do oh god
|HGN-DEV| Jake: they're like parasites

I re-rigged this arctic US army model which silver gave me.

[Chrono]

Looks really good.

[Silver Knight]

Some great work right here.

[lolKieck]

Nicely done, though on the AR2 you can see the fingers going through it, but, well, shit happens. I don't know how to rig anyway.

I didn't bother with the fingers, they're pain in the ass.
I'll attempt to properly rig the fingers in the next models.

[Comradebritish]

Bot really something you should be worrying about, not that important.
