Tutorial: Creating a Weapon For Source - Part 2

[Stormy]

This is the second installment of the "Creating a Weapon For Source" series. The chapter will take you through the unwrapping and UV'ing of the weapon and then into Photo Shop where you will learn how to set up your UV map for texturing. From here the tutorial goes on to teach you some of the basics of texturing.

As with the last tutorials, feel free to upload these to better hosts as I know these are by no means the best. If they are uploaded to better hosts please leave the links in this thread to help others get the files as quick as possible.

Lastly, feel free to post progress in this thread! This will give you some nice crit to work with and also helpencourage others to get through these tutorials wile keeping the forum as clean as possible!

Definitely will download these when i get home. I've still got two videos from the first part to watch! :P

I'll help you fix the links.

Instead of: (i added spaces between the < and the first A, and between the last < and /.

< a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/7m3ld0" target="_blank">Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!< /a>

Replace:

Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

With the name of whatever you are linking. (Again, added spaces in the same places)

< a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/7m3ld0" target="_blank">Grunge Brush< /a>

End result:
Grunge Brush


Note: for some reason, the forum's Code tag does not work like it should. With text/code wrapped in the Code tag, it should show up without any formatted HTML (example: no clickable links). This is not the case, however, because i had to add spaces in the HTML to make my examples work.

thanks! just one question, if the gun isnt "neat" on the inside, will it effect anything in-game?
outside of my gun is fairly neat, all attached to each other, etc.
the inside isn't for some reason...

Great tutorials stormy probably the best tutorials in game-art so far.
Not too many ppl take the time to do this so your work is appericiated .

[wayofthehunter]

the links have gone tits-up...
can work around it by 'copy-shortcut' ..but i thought i'd better tell you!

[Stormy]

I put a second link up at the bottom there which takes you to moddb, i think people should get some pretty fast download speeds from there

[wayofthehunter]
