Collective Modeling

enfurno

<div class="IPBDescription">MODEL ideas [REQS]</div> Ok, im starting this thread because there arent enough models for picking and choosing through.

So, post a pic of a gun fantasy or real, or even a drawing you have worked up so that the modelers can have a look
at osme of the ideas we would like to see in the game.

Also, please rate the pics in this thread [1-10] pls keep several things in mind other than your own taste [which should still be the biggest part of your rating]
1. Originality
2. Style

Style being the most important of course because that is the sole discretion as far as most peoples taste goes..

After a model is declared "fit" for the game we should collectively work out skin colors, anims, and accessories

Im making this thread so that us [the active NS players] can all work together in some way, with large and/or small contributions to
creating the best wepaons for the game, if we all put at least an opinion in then we will be moving toward a better gaming experience
for us all because we will hopefully be building and obtaining the weapons, armor, etc... that we would like to use in our gaming experience

thank you for your time....

Enfurno - NS player for life

p.s. remember PLEASE post pics of your ideas, or something youd like to see worked on i.e. similar to what you would like but add detailed descriptions to the changes you would like to see

also remember this is a collective thread read everyones ideas, build offf of those ideas, add your own input
and please NO FLAMING, this is to help everyone who plays NS flaming is not desired in this post, if you dont like an idea
pls state why you dont like it and confer with an idea to change it..

ill post the first pic, i included this in another thread i made but here is a better place for it

what i think should be change: 1. take the feeder off the top of the gun[so it doesnt resemble a paintball gun
2. make the front clip area look like a clip
3. a change to the barrel, maybe loos the giant suppressor looking thing on it

other than that i think its a very cool futuristic replacement for the pistol

Tyralion

It's a nice gun, and could probably make a pistol replacement, but I don't do modeling or skinning (I'll stick to website coding) so I won't be able to do any work for it.

The only problem with posting model requests is that most of the time nobody with decent skills is willing to do it.

<b>EDIT:</b> Forgot to rate the image. I'd say that gun is a <b>7</b>.

your not getting the whole point.. the pooint of this thread is for the good modelers like souris and those guys to see what the whole community wants, and the ideas they have...these forums are for this type of thing, souris wouldnt even post his models here before completion if he didnt want our input...im suggesting, we all work together come up with the ideas that work well

enfurno

i guess this isnt gonna work, i was sure this would get a sticky...guess noone is interested in a collective attempt... =(

Delarosa

it might work, it's jsut that we don't have too many modelers, i'm trying to learn, but nobody is really willing to help me with my questions....

RoadMaster

and I don't help anyone... oh and I'm not that great....

why did you mension souris anyway? souris hardly models anything... I even asked him myself

Maus

It's True You Know™. Most of what I do is hackjobs and reskins for my own satisfaction , e.g. the pulse rifle I reanimated because I didn't really like the reload anim, or the TSA HA with repositioned HMG anims, or any number of little tweaks I've done to the models I use because it's rare that I'll download something I like 100%. To me that's the beauty of teaching myself to use modelling programs - not making new things, but tailoring other peoples' work to fit my needs/desires. It's perhaps a selfish position to take, but until I learn to model properly that's all I'm going to do.

I very rarely release things unless people in IRC persuade me to, mostly because there's nothing special about conversions and hackjobs.

enfurno

simply because he has the knowhow

im not singling him out, im he just the only one i kow by name off hand, and there re good modelers who post here

Morgoth

ur models are awesome souris, you should release all ur stuff <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Another thing is that I don't always keep the readmes after I download models, so I'm never completely sure who I ought to be crediting and I don't want to step on any toes and get flamed for ripping models or getting credits wrong.

Of course, I suppose that's something the forum's search function could help with, and I <i>have</i> been meaning to update my site (last update was the end of November, so there's not much there) before I bugger off to the states for a few months, since I'll be unable to add (or make, probably) anything from there.

Hmm... We really need somthing like the "AHL Armoury" but for NS, so we can keep everything nice and organized

Maus

There's this hack for example, which it wouldn't be very nice of me to release until TalShiar gives his version a proper release (I satisfied myself in the meantime by contributing p and w models in his wip thread, if he wants them). You can see that his version is a very attractive gun (prettier than mine, certainly) - I just didn't like the positioning of the scope, so I lowered it and pulled off the handle for myself. These are the kinds of little hacks I do, like removing the colonial marine's helmet and tweaking the head a little so he can be shaved, though the "proper" release of that won't happen until I've finished my new JP model - the skin is holding me up a little.

Delarosa

or even this..... you can pass on your hackjobs and edits to somone that is willing to search out the correct info FOR YOU.... some of us are really dedicated to doing things like that (do i hear a *COUGH* *COUGH*?)

but anyway man, i like Tal's shorter stock... i've got the conversion by Dominator, and it's a little too long for me....

---edit---
forgot to add that i like your lower scope better.... but i guess since i'm not as great as doing hackjobs as you... there is no way i can edit one that i like...

enfurno

see, yeh we can help you get the info for the hacks, that was the whole idea behind this thread, collective accomplishment
