Bug Mod?

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Im starting some ideas with my clan... A bug-mod with gigantic bugs like these:

----------------------------
I've got reference photos for all the models if anyone is interested...
----------------------------

[Skulk] = Normal Spider

[Gorge] = Black widow Spider

[Lerk] = Killing Bees

[Fade] = Prayin Mantis

[Onos] = Big Beetle (maybe a spider too, is that possible?)
----------------------------

[Hive] = ? (maybe an bee-cube)

[Marines] = Evil bug-terminators

----------------------------

Can anyone give some ideas? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'>

well i dunno if this is a good idea. but then again its as good as any other idea if you like bugs.
a gigant mantis could work for the fade.. hehe

Mantis / kneeler (on danish: knæler)

Naksu · April 2003

how about a praying mantis for a fade? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

edit: ack, Wider was quicker

edit2: GORGE PORN!

RoadMaster · April 2003

Frogs aren't insects

it's a decent idea that has been thrown around before.... along with my animal idea and the robot aliens idea. I suggest going for it if your a decent enough modeller... some other plausible insects are ants and beetles. I'd say a beetle could make either a good gorge or an onos (some beetles are pretty big, with pincers) and the spider or ant idea would work well for the skulk, because they are wall climbing insects...

a dung beetle is always handy with building stuff <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Maybe i could edit the original cockroach to be an gorge? (or widen it to look like an beetle...)

And a spider/ant (not sure witch one to choose) for the Skulk it is for sure!!!

Jim · April 2003

spider would fit better imo <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Mantis ref here... Any takers?
or am i the only modeler that would like to participate?...

[EDIT]: Its back should be raised if any modelers take over!

Delarosa · April 2003

i was thinking about a dung-ish beetle for gorge, but i've gotta finish my pistol first.

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Any refs? Ideas and refs are always usable!!!

Any modelers that are interested im modeling one of the "Bugs"can e-Mail me at [mabo_2010@hotmail.com] to get some refs by me... If you have Messenger that is!

GWAR · April 2003

There is a Cocroach skulk someone made. Look that one up

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

The Spider-Skulk is a little bit better (when thinkin of the whole concept) but i know about the other one...

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Here's some fresh screenies on my hax-editing work. Haxed the cockroach to look a little like a beetle...

1st here:

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Here it is, compared to the cockroach:

And how do you copy those vertexes/models, fx: like the legs?

BtW: Look in the upper post...

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Cant anyone help me right here? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> I really need help at this moment!!!

I need to know how to copy things, since Ctrl+D doesnt help anythin...

coil · April 2003

I can't help you with Milkshape, since I use 3dsmax. However, if you're extremely new to modeling, I'd suggest checking out the stickied "Modeling 101" topic at the top of the forum.

Also, to be perfectly honest, I would suggest taking the time to learn to model from scratch, rather than just hacking other models. It takes a little more time, but I guarantee you will be happier and others will be more impressed with the end result.

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Ok... Maybe i should try to download 3dsmax... And start to model my own one...

[/EDIT]: Forget it!!!

SnO0Py · April 2003

Its ok coil he has to learn somehow. And the current tutorials for milkshape kinda...suck...

EDIT: Oh yea I suggest a spider for the gorge, and a rhinoceros beetle like coil said for the onos.

well milkshape isnt really that a hard program to use D:

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

.... Coil... can u send me (email) a list of what 3dsmax- plugins u use? Or some1 else if u are busy (i am very confused right now, cant find out what plugin goes with what program...

And do u use GMAX or the bought one?

SnO0Py · April 2003

Well its easy to use, once you learn to use it. Ice you realize 3dsmax costs over $800 right? And even with GMAX you still need milkshape/3dsmax to export the .md3 or whatever to, because GMAX dosent support Half-Life...or something like that.

coil · April 2003

I use the full version of 3dsmax. The only plugins I use are Texporter for exporting my UVW skinmaps, and a HL SMD Export plugin. I also use a HL SMD Import MAXScript for importing SMD files to use as references.

You can find all of those in the Modeling 101 topic.

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

Ive dumped the beetle-model, and am currently workin on the spider one (100% "homemade")...

Shall i post a screen? (its messy but u can see the concept...)

3ncrypted_zer0 · April 2003

Here is an idea... starcraft... I know I know I'm a starcraft freak... ain't my problem. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

IcELoRD-2010 · April 2003

I know that everyone is interested in SC right now, and im far from pro when it comes to modelling so i thought that it would be a good idea to start somewhere else than sumthin as "Pro-requirering" as SC...

(I hope that u understand my post! A bit messy, right?)
