Here's my take on it: <img src="http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3801/ns2magazine.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />
You can't really put it in a gun but one can't have everything ^^
This one barely uses any normal mapping. In fact, it doesn't need it as it's only used to try to emphasize the separate pages (which it fails to do XD).
I didn't bother to make the whole texture as IIRC you wanted to do that yourself.

Don't worry, at first I also thought he meant a weapon magazine :) Although I wasn't sure how I'd model a universal mag that could fit into any gun and be open. But I did think he meant that.

Yes that's very good! Send ASAP!
Just make sure that when you send it that I can just put it in my models folder for NS2 and it'll show up in the editor. I don't have modeling programs to convert it myself :x
Edit: Here are a couple other things I'd like to request
Empty Magazine/Game rack (so I can put a variety of stuff on it) A closed magazine (like a book, not a gun :P) and a game box
Again, these do not have to be textured. Just make the model so that it can easily be added to the NS2 editor and send the UV maps my way.

I certainly hope someone can do this! I really do not want this to go to waste.
@Kouji: That would be a great idea! I'll probably do quite a bit of texturing with these magazine models.

Well first let's get the model so we can texture it then decide what we want to put on it :P
Edit: Hey dandi, can you go ahead and upload the model files so people can download them? It would save time having to PM you then getting the files.
sorry about the lack of updates someone at polycount released one of there models for people to practice texturing so im trying my hand at hand painted textures, not bad for my first try so far. will resume the scissor lift when im done.
@Slayer: Gladly, here it is: <a href="http://uploading.com/files/a65e2233/NS2_Magazine.rar/" target="_blank">http://uploading.com/files/a65e2233/NS2_Magazine.rar/</a>
So here is what I have at the moment. I didnt want it to look exactly like an IBM for legal reasons heh. This will be the ingame version. All UVs done. ~2000tri. Ill be doing the high poly version for the normal map.
It might be a few days since I am playing with new XSI tools and 3D painting stuff.
Comments
Looks nice nonetheless.
Good work though Renegade!

Now, can someone export this to NS2? :)
Now we just need someone to convert the files...
Anyone?
It becomes all stretched and skewed.
But you don't need it anyways, since it's converted to a .model file already
Although something seems to be wrong with the shading on the model o.O
I did this quickly late yesterday night. I tried using spec map and gloss map but no success in it.
Actually just delete the spec map and remove the specular code line in the .material file (magazine_open.material)
That will correct the thing. Cause now it only have a black spec and a white gloss map. Which isn't good lol
Edit: wait, forgot to try something
Edit: Yeah I can't get the texture to show up. It only shows up as the missing texture thing.
Edit: Ok I figured it out. The .material file goes in the models folder.
It might be a few days since I am playing with new XSI tools and 3D painting stuff.

How 'bout that closed magazine model?
A magazine rack would also be nice.
Preferably something like <a href="http://www.handystorefixtures.com/images/products/652/tiered_magazine_06.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>.
