Now we just need that chapter 2 : how to get a custom weapon model in source : /

[IamWhack]

I'm more interested in the UVing part.

[Nysuatro]

I have finished all the videos. I am very interested in seeing the other coming vids

[Stormy]

I made a start on the vids again today! woot. I need to do around two more texturing videos. I will warn you tho, I have not made a tutorial for the whole process of texturing the weapon because i feel it would just take far long to make and two long to view. What i have done are a few parts focusing on a)unwrapping b)texturing metal c)texturing plastic and probley a final second on specular maps and finishing touches.

Chapter 3 though will not focus on compiling as it will be about the rigging and animation. Chapter 4 will perhaps be getting the animations ready and compiled. So there is a little way to go yet.

Also, post up your finished models in this thread to get feedback on your progress!

Man that texture part should be a quick run through. So many tutorials for making metal and unwrapping and hardly any if none about getting a weapon in source/compiling

I thought I would post a screen shot of the texture to show you I am still alive and i'm still working on the tuts!

[wayofthehunter]

great tut! cant wait for the next half (or quarter, or eighth or sixteenth...) ! the first tut that tells me everything i dont know.

heres how mines coming along


its being modeled on a BB gun i got a few years back...i should have stuck to something a little simpler, but oh well...im leaving out quite alot.
its still a bit messy in places, and im slowly cleaning it all up before the next tut starts!
