Hey all. For all of yous that want to pop zerglins with gause rifles or consume tasty marines (crunchy on the outside chewy on the inside!) Ill be starting to make a total conversion over the next month or so. However i need some tuts or something on how to actually get a milkshape model into halflife (skeletons and animation and all that.) Ive made this list on what ill probobly include.

Marine: CMC-300/400 Powered Combat Suit (standard terran marine)
Heavy Armor: CMC-660 Heavy Combat Suit (firebat armor)

Knife: probobly a bigger knife
Pistol: Marine handgun as seen in one of the zerg cinimatics
LMG: 8mm C-14 "Impaler" Gauss Rifle
Shotgun: Something simmilar to the gause rifle (only shotgun like)
Welder: Fusion cutters (as on the SCV)
Mines: Spider mines
HMG: Belt fed form of Gauss Rifle
Grenade Launcher: 25mm C-10 Canister Rifle (ghosts use them)

ps. Ill also reskin all the buildings to go with the color schime (probobly black and red)

Skulk: Zergling (of course)
Gorge: Drone (requires new animations)
Lurk: Scorge (or maby a tiny queen)
Fade: Hydralisk (requires new animations)
Onos: Ultralisk (smaller version)

What about for the jetpack guy?

I'd like to see a ghost model made. Especially the Ghost from the new game StarCraft: Ghost.
I'd also like to see some of the buildings from StarCraft be made too, like the Academy as one of those research buildings, etc.
Buildings to match the models basically.

I know this is asking alot, but hey, I'm greedy.

These sites might have what you're looking for.

way cool!

dunno if i'll lose em but starcraft rocks

Keep in mind that ghosts are special ops. Ghosts work alone with stealth and err... sneakyness. If they add somekind of cloaking armor or something then ill make a ghost.

Darnit... I wish models could be higher-poly in HL with less performance hit, so we could have some cool-looking Terran Marines or some Warhammer 40k Space Marines...

Yeah but then what would the jetpack look like?

The HMG should be the cannons ripped off a Goliath.

When you think about it, Starcraft would mix in pretty well with the NS mod. Zergling=Skulk Hydralisk=Fade Queen=Bah I forgot its name... Drone=Gorge Ultralisk=Onos. It matches quite perfectly IMO.

Er yeah, where do you think NS drew inspiration from? The drone is little like the Gorge (they both spit acid), but when you think about it, the Gorge has very little else in common.

But replacement models for them would fit nearly perfectly. The Fade has nearly the same stance as a Hydralisk, a Skulk definitely looks like a Zergling, an Onos is quite similar to an Ultralisk (if a little smaller).

So... When can we expect the first screenshot of your work?

Maybe the Khara Hive can be a Queens nest or Zerg Hive

Offensive Chamber = Spore Colony

That'd look really funny. Imagine a hive floating without ground support on a ceiling. It'd look kinda weird dont ya think?

Spore colony for the offense chamber is a nice idea though.

Doesn't have to be the actual hive or anything, you could always make the model an overlord/cerebrate or just leave it as it is and call it a cerebrate.

Overlord concept is very very intriguing...

I'll get excited when I actually start seeing models.

I was hyped about the USCM models but look what happened there.

cool, I can help if help is needed =)

All I can tell this guy now is he's should hurry up before some other people make them StarCraft models...

Good luck to ya!
Looking forward to it.

McGibs Still working?

Guess so. He doesnt post much.

He hasn't been around lately. Just be patient about it.

Not a problem, i don't know if hes even still working though, i can wait, i would just like to know if i should abandon hope for starcraft models.

i wanna skin them
