A Guitar

Darkkiz

<div class="IPBDescription">For knife</div> Yes, i know that there's a guitar for cs already made, but it's textures are ugly and i think Stratocasters suck <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . So, i decided to make a new one. I used my own guitar as reference(Washburn Rs980). Things missing are: Tone and volume knob, Floyd Rose(Bridge) and locks, strings, tuning machines and the cable plug. I haven't decided the color yet, i may use my guitar's color, but i think most of you don't like purple <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> . So, color/pattern/image suggestions would be nice <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .

Looks cool, although I'm more an Ibanez bloke myself..

Polycount looks a bit excessive though, what is it?

Darkkiz

Don't know the polycount, as 3dsmax doesn't show it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> . But that's not the problem though, i'm finding a way to override the polycount in milkshape's compiler.

But i'm guessing that the polycount is about 1000 atm, as it's pretty low detail right now(proper shading and shadowing does miracles).

You can never have too many polys, more More !

ArgOnatH

if you've got Milkshape do this to find out poly count (this is the only way i know atm)

In 3d max goto Export in file save it as xx.3ds, now open up milkshape (thats if u got it) goto import, look down to near the bottom and u'll see AutoDesk 3DS file, click it then locate ur model and open.

tadah! uve found ur poly count! but there must be a plugin or sumthing about that tells u in 3d max

You could swap the default knife sounds for crazy feedback noises.. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Darkkiz

I know how to do that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> . I'm just Too lazy. I need milkshape to convert stuff and add the arms and animations.


Oh, didn't notice the post from hamster, yes, i already have recorded some guitar voices(for my friend who needs them to some techno song=))

i wud have prefered a warlock... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Darkkiz

Warlock sounds terrible <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Otherwise i maybe would've picked that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Darkkiz

Some progress. Floyd Rose almost finished. Strings, tuners and some minor optimizing missing (oh yeah, and skin)

Darkkiz

Oh yeah, and the polycount is something like 900 (the main part is 600 and all the boxes and stuff have 30-10 each)

ZeroByte

Uhm... to get poly count in 3ds max 5, go to the laaaaaaast tab, with the rollout labeled utilities, click on the button to the right of "Sets" (the button with the window and 4 buttons on it, mouseover is "configure button sets") and click on it. Find "Polygon counter" on the list on the left and drag it into the list in the window.

Now you can go to the utilities rollout anytime and press polygon counter and get a polycount. Wheeeee.

Darkkiz

heh, thanks, the polycount is 973

Jim

is that in 4 sided polys or 3?

Mr_Headcrab

Go all FLCL on their ****, make it a Bass!

Darkkiz

A bass? I never touch a bass again after that bus incident! (And that little thing with my schools cafeteria.)

DocterJ

How about a flute?

Maus

Uh-oh. I sense a new trend in modelling, as all us guitar players build them for NS. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

By the way, you could no doubt save a bunch of polys by skinning on the pickups' bits. They're often flat anyway.

Darkkiz

Yeah the pickups have more polys than the body <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->




-Just some skin-testing-

Rasulis

FLCL PWNED YOU ALL!!!

Darkkiz

Ingame!!!!!

No textures, not placed properly, only testing.

and yes, this will be fo NS!

Custom sounds will be included!

HEVEEEEH!

Lucid_Melody

CS hands suck.

Darkkiz

I know that. I'm using those as a test, 'cause they're easier to apply.

Mr_Headcrab

Attack better be an overhead smash

Darkkiz

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

Darkkiz

I'll finish this tomorrow, now, i'm going to sleeeeeppz0rzzzzzzzzz

Unreal_Panther

NO YOUR NOT.......WAKE UP! FINISH THE MODEL!!! FINISH!! *shakes hand in a fist*

Mr_Headcrab

/me gets to work making FLCL version

Darkkiz

So, the model itself is almost completed(strings missing). Skin ain't ready yet, 'cause i suck at skinmeshes <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . I'm finding a good tutorial. If someone would like to skinmesh this for me, i can send it.
The anims i have atm are made by laxu, for his guitar-knife for cs <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . They're very good, only the idle animation doesn't show the whole guitar.

Jezpuh

Like if you bash a skulk, the guitar will explode into 1000 pieces floating around, piercing everything and everyone, leading to a bloodbath that noone will survive?

Darkkiz

The model is done, now i'm doing the skin (I will include the skinmeshes in the final file, so every one can customize it =)). Should i use this color? Or maybe a black one?
