stop zat dot dot dotting.... I'm currently in the process of skinmeshing (the SLOW TEDIOUS process of skinmeshing).... then I'll have to make a new skseleton and animate it.... which might be a bit of a challenge, because to be honest, I usually handle skeletons in milkshape or just use existing skeletons.... I have to learn to actually animate well in Max

why would you discourage encouraging nice quality (albeit funky) models....?
-we should all join in behind (or somewhat behind/among) the modelers of this community, and let them know how much we appreciate their pigs/chickens/guns/sprite manipulation/creation....
they deserve a pat on the back for all the time and energy they dish out for us....thank you for your quality models man, keep it going, you've got at least SOMEONE in the bandstands rooting for you!
thanks delarosa.. and everyone else who have been encouraging me on these models, it's nice to know I'm not the only person intereted in my models <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
And I don't mind Zero, he's expressed his opinion about piggorge before and he can have his opinion, but I'll be making my model no matter what he says <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for the model... I'm currently almost done the skinmeshing still.... ugh skinmeshing... and then comes animating and bones, another annoying part. My favorite parts are the modelling and skinning of course... so I'm happy at the start of a model and the end... just not in the middle. As for buildings and marines I'll get to those when the time comes... one step at a time here.
i think your models are great. as for zero, you really have to appreciate people to spend their time making things like this and dont even get paid (roadmaster, entire ns team, anyone else who does this cool stuff)

for those looking forward to this model I'm sorry to say you may have a bit of a wait... I'm having some issues with the model which i need to clear up before I do any work on it. I've been trying and failing at such attempts for the past 2 days slowly making progress, and it has frustrated me to no end. I know the problem, but I'm a bit frustrated at modelling right now and I may take a few days break from it, but if I feel like it I may also work on the skin <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Anyway don't expect this model to be released very soon... I'll make an update when I get some good progress done..
some smd exporter I found lying around on my hard drive from a while ago.... I have like 3 different versions which export, but only 2 of them get my skinmesh right... and when I use those I can to rebone the model using milkshape.... it's a process where I make many mistakes...
i was asking because i've got a jericho that i want to skin, but have no idea how to skin it in Gmax (i know, it's free, and crappy...but legal).... i just figured out how to skin in MS3D, and was going to export it into that, but can't figure out how...
the exporter doesn't work with gmax files... it works with 3dsmax files.... sorry... and the link to the exporter I use I think is in the modelling 101 thread <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
