Hi everyone,

this is a little model I made with Milkshape and Photoshop in about 2 hours (most of the time spent on the texture). I will release it as an FPSC-ready model later, but I just want some C&C about it to improve my skills

Also, I thought of animating it, so that it crouches on the floor and follows the player. As I haven't got any of my animated models working in FPSC yet, should I really give it a try now and spend again some hours on the animations, or redistribute it as a static entity?



BTW: Hope I'm not off topic
The claw looks quite stupid and its texture is stretched...

Comments are welcome. What do you think of it?

Here is a pic of the stretched part of the texture on the claw...
I think I'll remake the claw

This should probably be in 3d chat
The problem is your uvw mapping rather than a modeling issue.
You should really have a go at animating it,it's a fairly simple rigging job,and it would be good practice for more elaborate models.
best rolfy.

OK thanks that you moved this thread FredP

Yes, but Milkshape haas no real UVmapping and I wanted the model to have as less groups as possible. I'm going to remodel the claw and try to animate it.

I thought that was all right, since I haven't found any rule that really forbids model previews for FPSC

me too but fredp seems to need in game screeny, texture file and model. If you don't have all 3 then it goes to 3d chat. which is dumb because you could have a model that is in fpsc in the entitie library but doesn't go in to the fpsc forums because it doesn't have a texture.

In case you missed it simply because you don't read the stickies...
The media must be FPSC ready.To be FPSC ready a model has to have an .x file,an .fpe file and a texture...without those it's not FPSC ready.You can post your half finished models elsewhere.
It also requires one or more in-game screenshots.
I can post screenshots of Popeye but what's that got to do with FPSC models?
It's a real simple rule.

[off topic] heh... reminds me of a robot from timesplitters FP on the level in the underground lab. That just sticks out to me because a few days back I realized you could use those arms to mess with some on the test subject on the tables.

[On topic] nice robot arm, you should try making a script for the player to control it

famous last words: check this out
