That's right, I did a test!

What I did: Got VALVe's Headcrab model, Bond1's zombie model, modified them a bit, gave them the basic FPSC biped and imported them in to FPSC... The result:




Please note that I do not intend to release anything with this headcrab model, that is just a test marker until I have my own. Nor do I intend to give it the standard FPSC biped...

And dont take the FPS seriously, I'm not releasing the game i'm making until lag is fixed, even if it takes a year... I'll even use a mod if I must, but only if it uses the newest source code which Lee may give out... Until then, I'm just going to ignore the lag and admire the great quality graphics i've produced with FPSC...

Ywah, except the hat kind of killed him in the process and turned him into a zombie

Oh and when and if I make my own headcrab model, i'll make a modification to the zombie model, and add the basic headcrab zombie claws and chest mouth etc...

You do realize that you probably aren't allowed to use Valves headcrab models?

Okay, I guess. mainly all you did is decompile the MDL into a SMD, imported into max, imported the X, and did a re-rig...
also, have you deleted the head mesh, of the original zombie, that'll get rid of some poly's of course, also the headcrab looks good, kinda slanted anc could do with some colour alterations..
but it's a cool experiment, and a good choice on what to do too, hl2 stuff fits in perfectly. i mean... i see no resolution loss at all

You read me like a book.

It's like that in 3ds max, but only because I didnt connect it properly.

No more then bond1 releasing a model from half-life 2, and technically i'm not releasing it, only the game which uses it, which will have piracy protection. If people get past the potection then it's no different to valve using it because people can enter their protection.

Which Bond took down. Whether you're putting it up for download as part of a game, or as an entity...you're redistributing copyright property. If you put it in a game that's just for you...that's alright.

Nice work

You could always ask Valve if you can use it for a non commercial project.

John Carmack wanted to make the Doom engine open source much earlier on than it actually happened. It was only corporate red tape that delayed it.

Half Life and Doom have always been intended for the mod community to use. You just need permission as you'll be using it in another engine. They don't prevent anyone from distributing stuff for people making mods of their engine.

=) I do it all the time too, But I decompile it and import the SMD into XSI_mod_tool_6, then I export a 3ds of it, then I import the 3ds...
=S I use max 2008, which yet there is not a importer for, however Wunderboy is working one one slowly, but there's problems with bones...

[quote]Me: Hello. I’d like to make a bone please.
MaxScript: Sure, here you go.
Me: Great! Can I move it over there?
MaxScript: No problem. *moves*
Me: And rotate it a little to the left?
MaxScript: Anything you want! *turns*
Me: Fantastic! "
Now, lets re-enact that little scene as it went for most of Sunday afternoon between myself and the MaxSDK:
Me: Hello. I’d like to make a bone please.
MaxSDK: What sort of bone? *shifty eyes*
Me: Well you know. Regular bone in Max that you make skeletons with.
Quote: "MaxSDK: Like a helper?
Me: Err I guess, if that’s what it is.
MaxSDK: Ok. *creates*
Me: That’s not a bone! It’s just an object!
MaxSDK: That’s what you asked for a helper object bone!
Me: No, I meant a blue normal bone in Max.
MaxSDK: Oh you want a geometric object derived bone.
Me: Err yeah, whatever. Just make one please.
MaxSDK: Well you’ll have to tell me it’s class and super class.
Me: What? How the hell do I know that? Don’t you?
MaxSDK: Oh yes, but I just like to hear it. *sniggers*
Me: Oh FFS. *looks in SDK docs* I can’t find anything about that class!
MaxSDK: Well try harder!
Me: A clue? Nothing’s coming up when I search for “bone” or “bones”.
MaxSDK: Maybe I put it somewhere else…

Later that same afternoon…

Me: Ha! Found it! Make me a bone please.
MaxSDK: Oh very well….
Me: Can you move it over there?
MaxSDK: If you wish.
Me: And turn it a bit?
MaxSDK: Ok.
Me: What the hell? Why did you move it again?
MaxSDK: I didn’t!
Me: Yes you did it’s over there now!
MaxSDK: Oh yeah. Well I decided to reset the translation component of the matrix.
Me: Why you do that?
MaxSDK: …
Me: I f***ing hate you MaxSDK…
MaxSDK: What? Oh sorry I wasn’t listening, I was just over there eating some more memory.
Me: Sod this, I’m going to the pub…
MaxSDK: Can you get me some chips on the way back? "

=D Haha, Wunderboy is realy working hard on it =)
