Custom enemies

[Harry]

If you make a model an a ded, how do you determine what the enemy shoots?

[Xerxes]

Yes, but just the already existing shoots : Fireball, zombiegun....

[Harry]

Don't wory, I've done it now :D the tank shoots out streams of rockets :D

[Xerxes]

Glad you got it

Make new thing is very simple with doomsday ;) :D

Splended Harry:D:D

[Xerxes]

Cool Harry :D

[Harry]

Good news :D i've found a cool unwrapping tool :D called lithunwrap so now it'll be ok to skin :D

I'll probably make a better "unwrapping" because i forgot to scale everything to fit the 1024 x 1024 :)

Heres the tank with the template around it :D

[sLydE]

that's cool, i know nothing about modelling, but am going to be learning a lot here in the next few weeks or so. so are you using milkshape to do this?

[Harry]

Yep I am using milkshape, get it at www.milkshape3d.com to make that tank all I used was... a cube(a small one) then extruded it. to get a proper skin for it use lithunwrap I can't remember the site but if you google it, it's there. ;) very easy stuff, I've only been using it for just over 2 weeks :D

You really need to sort out your unwrap. Your wasting over 50% of you texture space. What you should do is try to cover every bit of texture space with your UV's.

[Chilvence]

I'm very tentative about saying this, because I know theres a big chance I might end up not doing it. But can I have a go at skinning it? *grin*

[Harry]

Sure Chilvence, you could have a go at skinning it as soon as I've soeted out the unwrap ;)
Because like Dani says I am wasting alot of space.
BTW in what way can I give you the skin? PM me about it ;)

[Harry]

Well I've done it, the whole thing is pretty much all filled up and to be safe the skin template is 2048 x 2048 because it's a big model.

Looks messy, I know, it has been scaled way down :P

[doominsanity]

That tank is really cool Harry. Ever thought about creating some custom Doom enemies. Maybe i'll break out GMAX and try to create a few creature like those in the movie THE THING.
