Maus · July 2003

When I get it animated. I hate MS3D's animation tools, and I haven't found any goot tutorials for weapon anims in max <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

is project X that close to being done? or are you releasing the hmg from the pack seperatly?

Maus · July 2003

It's nowhere near complete - the LA marine (which was pretty much finished) is going to be messed up by 2.0's third-person reload anims (my marine has completely new anims, see, so I can't just use the new ones), the LMG is almost complete ... and other than that it's a bunch of half-finished models and concept sketches, since I stopped working on it (lack of motivation - I'm perfectly happy with the model set I have at the moment) to get started on my Oni kharaa pack ... which has also ground to a halt <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

This model isn't totally Project-X, since it's nothing like what I had in mind for the HMG, but it's nice practice and I guess I'll just release it when I get the anims done instead of the point somewhere in the sistant future when I get round to finishing the pack.

xanieth... ur nerdy knowledge scares me just a bit. besides he said it wasnt tau, it just looks similar, lasers=better

I guess that if I asked you for the shotty with the folded stock...you wouldn't have that either...<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

ThinG · July 2003

Maus that's some very good work, and I hope you'll release it (maybe let a fellow roobster test it *cough*)

It's not a tau rifle, but it's definately inspired by it, and she's gorgeous m8 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

I don't play Tau myself, and I haven't been able to find a weapons diagram explaining all the bits and pieces on the gun.

Maybe Spawn could have a look in his codex <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Anyways, if you are wondering what I am mumbling about go here:

<a href='http://www.games-workshop.com/40kuniverse/warhammer40k/tau/Tau_index/Tau_index.htm' target='_blank'>General Tau info</a>
These two links are from the Games Workshop website:

All in all, Maus, great stuff, keep it up, and lemme have it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Finally an image of this highly advanced alien race, so you can see where the idea came from:

HKK · July 2003

Yeah i could prob scan some pics if you want them ?

enf0rcer · July 2003

i want that now please. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Maus · July 2003

I've been thinking this'll get itself finished an awful lot quicker (and with less risk of be pulling all my hair out) if there are any decent animators out there who fancy doing it for me. Anyone? Bueller?

Owen1 · July 2003

whilst we are here, the tau armor would make a great marine model

Shockeh · July 2003

Xanieth : You're sorta mixing the two there.

The markerlights are only Shas'ui & Pathfinders, but the underslung GL (Which is what you quoted) is standard on the Pulse Carbine.

Dunno if that was intentional or not. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Maus · October 2003

I guess I'm still slowly working on this. After playing a bit of Fire Warrior I decided I'd remake the scopey thing. However, progress on all of my models at the moment is very slow, as it's hard to motivate yourself to model for a game you hardly play.

MetalHeart · October 2003

Wow ... Good Job Maus ! Nice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
I didn't play Fire Warrior yet, but please <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Keep up working on this beauty ! Please <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Maus · October 2003

Okay, I clearly need a bit of help here. The attached file is the model in max format, with a skeleton constructed and assigned in MS3D and imported to max. It's being a real [female dog] to animate though - I don't seem to be able to do anything but rotate things, and the wrong joints seem to be controlling those rotations. As I have next to no experience of animating in max, is there any chance of someone taking a peek at this and suggesting what's wrong?

edit: No readme, but this is my work so no stealing, editing, hacking, yada yada ... death of your first born, yada yada.

Twiggy · October 2003

well..its very very nicely made, except you`d create a massive earthquake everytime you throw it to the ground...

its gotta weight ton <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Ulatoh · October 2003

that screw shaped thing... you could slap a handle on it and put a drum mag in there, move it back if need be

IceWolve · October 2003

Looks cool but the back of the handle looks uncomfortable, it woudl be good as a hmg thou

yep I agree.... It should be a HMG <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Shazbot · October 2003

I like your model Maus, it's really looking great. The skin looks awesome, but I'm concerned it'll look blurry in game, but that's not the point. I hope you continue finishing this nice piece of work.
