[mreq] Realistic Welder

Visual_Mirage · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">possible?</div> I was wondering ... would it be possible to make a "realistic welder"? Like..when you draw the welder, he quicky sparks it, and theres a small flame there (which can be made with transparecny dll's i'd say)? And the flame just stays there, and you weld away <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I accually think AVP welder is realistic, it looks alot like a normal welder from today, except its a bit more futuristic. It would be possible, but it wouldn't look real nice. I'm sure you could use a sprite attachment (they add sprites to TFC models that originally don't have them) and start off with it offscreen, then zoom onscreen really fast during the draw animation (so it looks like a flame is starting).

Hehe, good idea, if done properly i reckon it could be awsome ^____^

It is certainly a good idea, but I think an experienced modeller should do it.

It would require some skill, but i bet it could be done

Somehow use the sparks that come out of the structures when you're building for when sparking it ^___^

Spark effects can be added to attachment points. See the Valve HL modelling guide (available in Modelling 101) for how.
