Im starting some ideas with my clan... A bug-mod with gigantic bugs like these:

----------------------------
I've got reference photos for all the models if anyone is interested...
----------------------------

[Skulk] = Normal Spider

[Gorge] = Black widow Spider

[Lerk] = Killing Bees

[Fade] = Prayin Mantis

[Onos] = Big Beetle (maybe a spider too, is that possible?)
----------------------------

[Hive] = ? (maybe an bee-cube)

[Marines] = Evil bug-terminators

----------------------------


Can anyone give some ideas? <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Frogs aren't insects

    it's a decent idea that has been thrown around before.... along with my animal idea and the robot aliens idea. I suggest going for it if your a decent enough modeller... some other plausible insects are ants and beetles. I'd say a beetle could make either a good gorge or an onos (some beetles are pretty big, with pincers) and the spider or ant idea would work well for the skulk, because they are wall climbing insects...

    a dung beetle is always handy with building stuff <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe i could edit the original cockroach to be an gorge? (or widen it to look like an beetle...)

    And a spider/ant (not sure witch one to choose) for the Skulk it is for sure!!!

    I can't help you with Milkshape, since I use 3dsmax. However, if you're extremely new to modeling, I'd suggest checking out the stickied "Modeling 101" topic at the top of the forum.

    Also, to be perfectly honest, I would suggest taking the time to learn to model from scratch, rather than just hacking other models. It takes a little more time, but I guarantee you will be happier and others will be more impressed with the end result.

    .... Coil... can u send me (email) a list of what 3dsmax- plugins u use? Or some1 else if u are busy (i am very confused right now, cant find out what plugin goes with what program...

    And do u use GMAX or the bought one?

  • SnO0PySnO0Py Join Date: 2003-02-27 Member: 14092Members
    Well its easy to use, once you learn to use it. Ice you realize 3dsmax costs over $800 right? And even with GMAX you still need milkshape/3dsmax to export the .md3 or whatever to, because GMAX dosent support Half-Life...or something like that.

    I use the full version of 3dsmax. The only plugins I use are Texporter for exporting my UVW skinmaps, and a HL SMD Export plugin. I also use a HL SMD Import MAXScript for importing SMD files to use as references.

    You can find all of those in the Modeling 101 topic.

    I know that everyone is interested in SC right now, and im far from pro when it comes to modelling so i thought that it would be a good idea to start somewhere else than sumthin as "Pro-requirering" as SC...

    (I hope that u understand my post! A bit messy, right?)
