ReconSnake 0 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Pains modding video tutorials - I added this to the sticky for weapon tuts at the top of this forum. Piggyson's website will walk you thru exporting your model from 3dsm to GR. These two and Earl's tutorial are what got me up and crawling in 3dsm - not to mention a few questions asked here and at the platoon. Opinions on polycounts vary. I try to keep mine below 2000 per weapon. I guess it depends on the intentions for your mod. The one I am working on started as a project for myself and a few guys I game with so it was designed with our desires & systems in mind - if you are wanting to make one that you hope everyone will end up playing you might want to keep them below 1000 for the slower systems.

Swarm 0 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Also look in the 3DSM Standard Tutorials. I did most (any that seems like it would help with simple weapon making) and when used along with Pain video tuts and afew writen tuts I managed to make a very nice weapon (IMHO). Good luck with Max!

Sarc 0 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I started out with Pain's tutorials. http://www.planetrainbowsix.com/atwar/Pain/index.html He also has his tutorials in video form that are excellent guides for creating a weapon specifically for GR. He begins with creating the skin to modeling to texturing then exporting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
