swartsz 7 Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 (edited) you got a point there, Argyll. oke there will be one more model in the silent Warrior 3 mod, a mp5 with Aimpoint. all i really need to do for that model is to figure out how to make a scope mount for the aimpoint, give me a couple of days!

EricJ 0 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 (edited) GG&G should have some pics (maybe) GG&G And also maybe Botach Tactical: Botach Course you could just hit up a search engine, but rail mount systems and Aimpoint mounts do exist.

swartsz 7 Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 thanks for the tips, EricJ. looking for some good pics right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thumper1518 62 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 (edited) The way I do it is to take the weapon view in 3dsMax that faces the weapon to the left. Under rendering/environment, set the background to solid white, and under global lighting, set the ambient and tint to solid black. When you render the scene, it will be a black silouette(sp?) against a white background. I save the render then edit it in Photoshop, trimming the canvas size as close to the weapon as I can to get the 3:1 ratio used by the kit icons. I then reverse the image to make it a white silouette on black. I then re-size the image to 54x18 pixels, and you know the rest. BTW-I have some pics of a Holo mounted on an MP5 (courtesy Lancer) and the Aimpoint CompM2 model I made also is set on a HK-type mount. If you want the .max file and textures, let me know.

swartsz 7 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 no i dont think so.... still working on it, but it looks like something i would make in my early days of modding. it would compromise the overall quality of the mp5 model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whisper_44 0 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 no i dont think so.... still working on it, but it looks like something i would make in my early days of modding. it would compromise the overall quality of the mp5 model. You have come a long long way my friend good job I admire those who have the patience to persevere. I uninstalled my copy of Max many many months ago - and I'm willing to bet I'm healthier for it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 thanks Whisper_44, but i can't take full credit for this model, Lancer and Thumper1518 where so kind as to send me a copy of their Aimpoint model. the mp5 is mine, but the Aimpoint is theirs and they deserve the credit for it, because it is beautifully done! last night i activated the first model i made for GR and thought "OMG, it is so ugly.....God, i could change this and that" but i am still amazed it has only been like half a year, if i had known then, modding was so must fun, i would have started back in the Rainbow Six days.

EricJ 0 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Gonna have to say that is pretty cool, like the whole setup. Definitely worth waiting for.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Argyll 1 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Eric is that your original aimpoint? Did you lower the original Poly count? Still a work of art Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 no the Aimpoint is from Lancer and Thumper1518 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 0 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Like swartsz said, not mine. I haven't gone back on it for awhile, been designing some missions and stuff, so the 3D work is not for now. Besides 3DSM is acting funny with my weapon models, so I've kinda kept it on the downlow.

swartsz 7 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 a little update to let you know the mod isn't dead or anything. i am still working on the mod, currently finishing the Kit icons and after that i will start on finishing the MP part of the Silent Warrior 3 mod. so give me a couple more weeks to finish it and i will release as soon as the Beta guys give the OK!

pantera_team_a 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 VERY NICE STUFF!!! Im gonna start to make my own weapons but i wasnt sure if a noob could get the acclaim of the community... now that ive seen a noob do some awsome work im a little less afraid to proceed... thx a lot for the encouragement to noobs from all of the community btw wtg Swartsz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 thanks Pantera, all the advice i can give you is to take it slow, don't expect the be the greatest modeler within 2 weeks and look at other models from others modders and try to figure out how they did their stuff. and like the old saying, practice makes perfect! plus there are a lot of people who are willing to help you at any time, if you have a problem, just ask and there will always be someone with a answer.

Thumper1518 62 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I quite agree. I would add that you can expect to go back to your first models and re-do 80% of each after you have learned more. The learning curve is staggering when you realize all the things that Max can do.

Parabellum 12 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Swartsz, you should post a screen shot of that pistol you did in the DYNACOMP thread. People won't believe their eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
