Sorry about that, typo

I do apologize in advance to anybody who thinks that it wasn't the best in the world.

Reasons why it ended up that way:
1. Youtube accepts videos up to 10 min.
2. It will take to much time to rig bones that won't export
3. this is the simple and fast way

Just got the time to watch it and as someone who has had no experience whatsoever in the animating department I'm going to say it was brilliant! Great for that first step into animating. Its always best to start with the simplest of things before moving on. My mind is already flooding with simple objects I could easily make and animate thanks to your videos Once again, thanks!

You should make a tutorial for weapons. Like how to import the differnent animations and textures. That would be sweet!

Thank you for these tutorials. Certainly gave us great information on learning to model and the steps involved. Thank you for allowing us to post on FPS-Media.

Subtitled is fine. The music is enjoyable.

However any method is fine with us.

Having voice is better for explaining things rather than having a huge block of text covering half the screen (not reffering to your previous tutorials) So I think I preffered the voice.

Hey guys, Sorry for keeping all of you waiting on the tutorials. I been heavily involved in my entry for the contest as well as real life problems. SO the bad news is that it looks like you will be waiting a bit longer.

Now, for the good news. I have found a way to allow bones and weapons to be combined and animated for FPSC which ultimately leads up to making characters.

Once this contest is over and depending on what happens in real life. I will have a flood of tutorials coming in for you all to use and a possibly a flood of models too. <--- Don't expect it though

That is all, thank you guys for your support.

I have been busy lately trying to get a paying job and working a new innovating FPSC Game, but I have finished a blender tutorial that covers 2 things (How to make guns and how to animate more than one part of a model). I unfortunately could not get it posted onto youtube yet (computer issues (software not hardware)). Hopefully tomorrow I can manage to get it up on youtube, if a job opportunity goes right (I wait tell the next day to work) or wrong (they won't hire me). I am going to update my First Post with a plan I have for actually releasing future tutorials.

This is to show that I have not forgotten about you guys.

If he can figure out a way to get Blender animations out of Blender and into FPSC, he'll even teach me something new.

Let's start off by clearing up a few things:

Quote: "would it work with darkbasic pro."

Yes they work in Dark Basic Pro

If anyone really have any problems with this tutorial, I will take it down a just do it over from scratch.

I know that I was going to use a melee weapon, but a gun with multiple parts is to0 good to pass up on eliminating 2 tutorials at once.

The tutorial is being uploaded to Youtube as of right now, but you can go ahead and download the not so very good gun files that was just a quick thing for the tutorial.
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/file/j0yzoywti31/Guntutorial.zip

The animations do work and the proof is in the pudding. For example all the critters I have been making were 100% modeled, UV mapped, and animated in Blender using Bone rigs.

*EDIT* Here is a pic of what you will be working with in the bone rig tutorial.

Checking in to see how everyone is doing with the new tutorial and to say that I am trying to figure out a problem before the next tutorial is started. I also am changing the gun up to something more a bit better (see pic).

When it comes to the guns, you can't use EntityMaker for making the gamecore file. If you have Weapon Creation System from Bullshock, then you could use it instead. I knew that most people didn't have the Toolbox or the Weapon Creation System and therefore I did it the old fashion way.

Quote: "I. were do u get gunspec text from...do have to write one.

II. this part is were i get lost at towards the end were u start saving: were do u save it at becuase i look in my fpscreator folder there nothing like that to change name. "


The Files I put up for download had two folders. the Blender folder has all of your files for blender. The Files folder needs to be copied into your fpsc folder and merged with that Files folder. That files folder fills in gamecore\guns\pistoltemp. in the pistoltemp folder, there is a gunspec.txt file. open it up and make all the changes and then you should be good to go.

I some news for you. I have fixed the problem for the gun animation with rig tutorial. Now with news comes news. I will be placing it on the back-burner until I finish a bone rigging tutorial. I am doing this, because you will need to know some of the fixes in order to use bone rigs + This way you will know how difficult it may be to rig something, but know that the end result will be amazing.

Don't expect anything until the weekend is over though (US Central Time Zone) (that is my relaxing time and I need it).

These are very good tutorials, very handy as Ive just picked up Blender to use, but I see one error, there is nothing on setting the grid up for blender so one knows how big the models are one creates.

Ive been playing around with a few plug ins for blender that make interesting meshes, but when I exported them into FPSC they was absolutely tiny, so either I have to manually scale by hand, or one sets up Blender to say one unit = so many meters, which would be the most sensible, so whatever it is.

We need some way to get things the correct scale for Blender and FPSC, any ideas on this.

Do to computer problems, I can't do much to help. In order to size the objects for grid size. I took a 2 cubes and modified one with the scaleX=50 scaleY=50 scaleZ=3 for the wall. for the other cube scaleX=50 scaleY=3 scaleZ=50 for the floor. Then I set the floor peice to be right below the x line and the wall to be moved 50 unites on the Z. This is the exact dimiensions of a segment in FPSC. one of the file downloads have this segment template in it.

These are extremely useful

1. How to change the pivot point so that its in the center of your model.
Answer
you can automatically move it to the centre of an object by going into the editing buttons (F9) and selecting 'Centre New' in the 'Mesh' panel.
Links - http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=87787

2. How to have your object exactly in the center of the grid.
Answer
Do the above then go Object/Trasform Properties, then edit them to 0.00 for all xyz.

Ill just add these here as this is very usefull for large scale models like terrian or building whole levels in Blender.

I been out of touch as of late with FPSC and Blender. I now have a new computer and decided to come out of hiding for a little while and I should have a new tutorial up by the end of Labor Day for something that I know will cause me to get irritated when I get asked a thousand questions pertaining to it. In the mean time I am going to update the First Post with a more organized look.

@Fallen one, not sure if you are around still, but I will add those useful tips to the First Post

If I understand correctly, you want a tutorial over creating a glow effect on something like a light-saber. I will add it to the list, although I will say it is more of texture then it is modeling, but both are need to pull a decent effect off without shaders.

>UPDATE<
I just finished recording the Tutorial and will be editing it and should have about 3-5 videos up in the end (maybe less depending on how much I cut out )

sorry I forget things at times.

I am going to continue to use V2.49 as it is the stable release. But I may also dive into V2.50 in the future to show differences between the two versions (I do use 2.49 more then 2.5).

thats some good news. i still use 2.49, bearly getting used to 2.49 the 2.5 comes out. i am also glad about hearing the saber effect. i didn't know it was texture, i was thinking maybe it had to do with lights or color nodes.
