    Again, Bots, please chill out. That's coil-the-moderator speaking. Here's a quote:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->If you have a problem regarding the rights to a particular model, its inclusion in a pack, proper recognition of the creator, etc -- <b>DO NOT air your dirty laundry on the forums!</b> Contact the person in question PRIVATELY and try to sort it out - frequently, things like this are simply a matter of oversight.

    That quote is from my <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=27974' target='_blank'>Gentle Suggestion</a> thread stickied at the top of the forums.

    I'm not going to lock this thread, as there are other, legitimate contributions being posted in it (e.g. Jim's). However, I think it's safe to say that Duo won't be releasing that particular skin any time soon.

    Again, please remain rational about this. It will be taken care of.

    ...did Bots get flamed when he didn't puthed me in the credits of his PR ? NO. That was a model , and this was just a screenshot and i almost get the bullet? Did anyone get flamed becaus he used my model (...) , didn't puthed me in the credits? NO. Like nothingham says , it's officially Daphisto model. God you people make me so **** !

    Then just start over again.

    And BTW. theres to many stripes on the grip. There should only be 10 and 2 of them shouldnt be fully drawn

    Whatever. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think it was an hackjob but im not sure. It uses the AVP2 textures + there is a reskinned version by Bots

    oooook guys... less flamage, more skinnage plz
  • BotsBots Join Date: 2002-12-18 Member: 11065Members
    I'm really ok actually... its just that I've run into this type of stuff in many other situations, so I've been somewhat 'battle hardened' to folk who steal the work of others. I apologize to everyone who I offended by attacking Duo so ruthlessly, indeed this forum is a lot more aggression sensitive than other forums I visit (deadlok, dod, etc.). The matter, I hope, has been settled between Duo and I.

    I'm not sure I'll finish, I'm getting pretty frustrated with parts I've forgotten and I can't get the metal right <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'll be blunt...
    Your highlights suck! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No really... you made them like way too far from the edges of the gun's receiver to look good.

    Aa for the metal, a quick way to do it is to fill the part with 31 31 31, add clouds, sharpen once and dodge with big brushes with low intensity going to progressively smaller brushes with higher intensity.

    Is there any way to apply this skin to the model without 3dsmax? I've wanted to learn to skin so I figured I'd start with this but I have no way of seeing how it looks o_o

    <a href='http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/hlmv/' target='_blank'>Half-Life model viewer</a>
    Then you load up the .mdl, go to texture, then export/import the .bmp from/to the model

    NOTE: The skin has to be 256 colors, but what I do is temporarily change the skin to 16.7 million when I work on it, then change it back to 256 when im done.

    EDIT: Oh thats only for CHANGING skins, but to accually apply it/adjust it you need Milkshape 3d, 3dsmax, or any other modeling program.

    whats the word on this baby?
  • BotsBots Join Date: 2002-12-18 Member: 11065Members
    Snoopy, you have to understand that since these meshes are grouped with a 3ds file.. the only way to apply the skins is with 3dsmax. I would also like to mention that 3dsmax has a gigantic learning curve, and that not everyone knows how to apply skin meshes to 3ds files (including myself).

    you can use deep exploration <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yup, the HLMV technique requires a .mdl file to work from, hence my request for one a few pages back..

    Deep Exploration?

    Sounds like a pr0n movie..
  • JimJim Join Date: 2002-11-26 Member: 9989Members
    hehe it used to be called 3d exploration, I believe <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    guys guys guys... plz...

    just get <a href='http://www.milkshape3d.com' target='_blank'>Milkshape 3D</a> and IMPORT the .3ds and put all the skin files in the same folder.

    simple enough no?
  • JimJim Join Date: 2002-11-26 Member: 9989Members
    skins don't show up in my ms3d if I import .3ds D:

    anyway, I've spoke to some people and I'm gonna start the skin again tomorrow, hopefully it will look a little better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • BlackPantherBlackPanther Join Date: 2002-02-11 Member: 197Members
    go to the materials tab in MS3D and re-open the skin files.
    It'll show up.
  • DelarosaDelarosa Naturally Custom Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10214Members, NS1 Playtester
    you might aslo want to right click on the 3D window, and select "textured" mode... so you can see the skin on the model...


    beginning Milkshape and Smoothing groups tutorials will soon apear on T2K... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    and if my bos gets off his butt, we'll have some Max tuts soon enough!

    I have a MS smoothing tut in the works too, though it'll have to wait until the start of May to see the light of day.
