You're... making a model? For serious? Wow... Good on you, sir! Looking good so far.

Not bad, not bad! Good to see someones still got the motivation to make custom content for NS1. I look forward to it!

Me wants!

Finish it NAO!

Texturing progress.. I suck at this part. Still got a bit to do. (and fix the damn seams)
E/Pic removed.

Looking Fab!

hoooooolllyy crap! Is this the restart of ns customization ?

bloody hope so!

awesome model btw!

Very cool

Can not wait to see this done!

Looking damn good so far. I'll probably try 'er when she's finished :D

I am VERY impressed by your work here sir, especially in a time where NS1 customization is completely dead.

Need someone to host this when you're done?

Done. Haven't tested ingame yet so if anyone wants to take some ingame screenies please do.
kinda also got lazy finishing the textures but meh.

Hlmv shot


Download is in first post.

E/and yes some more hosting would be cool. File front is a shadow of what it once was.

Needs more reddy/brown instead of grey.

However, very very spiffy NS1 customisation that I can only applaud.

Really cool in-game!

All it needs now is a glowing belly :P

Also an Ns2 style onos.

Don't know if I can be bothered to texture it or not so all you get for now is the normal colours.

Could you be bothered to provide a picture? :p

Now that you mention it.




No.

Could you possibly to a skulk model too?

The gorge is absolutely amazing looking in-game.

nice!

I wanted to try to skin the Onos myself, but I'm not really sure where to start...

Not sure where to start with installing a custom model? 'Splain this a little bit more, there are plenty of people here more than willing to help!

And Jamin, lookie here: http://www.scootrnova.net/features/ns/jamin_ns2_gorge.html

You asked for a host, is that acceptable for you? That link should be good for a long time, I can't imagine moving domains or dropping hosting anytime soon. And if there are some pictures I'll throw the Onos you made up there too!

Good work, mate!

This gorge model looks great ingame. I use it now and it looks ace with the fade because of similar colouring but an onos would really rock!

Anyhow, great job jamin. If it was possible, you would recieve +rep!

Thanks for extra host Scoot.
And thanks for comments everyone else. (the more comments I get the more likely I am to texture/make more Ns2 style models... so shoot me.)

And would someone please post some ingame screenies! I wanna see what it looks like ingame because I'm currently unable to play (or even load up) NS.

The texture is what I meant.

I know how to extract the texture, open it and photoshop, and color on it and what not, but I'm not sure where to start with the actual texture itself. I've never done an actual "skin" before...

I'm probly not the best person to give advice on diffuse only texturing. (I'm not that good at it.)
But the way I do it now is to:
-start with a few basic colours and rough them out on the texture.
-draw some sketch lines on the texture so that I know where I want everything to go
-build up big light and dark forms using big brushes
-progressively use smaller and smaller brushes to build up shade and detail
-Use texture overlays to give the material some definition
-start adding details such as infestation and dirt in this case
-adjustments using contrast, levels and such until I like the look
-sharpen, because half life likes to blurr the crap out of textures.
-done.

I'm sure there are a bunch of tutorials online.. Probs better looking at those than my workflow.

Anyway, I started texturing the onos cus I got bored. Head is pretty much done the body not so much.
E/Pic removed

I'll see if I can grab some screenshots tonight.

The Onos' teeth look a bit... pronounced? Maybe darken them a bit?

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing the finished beast!

Cool.

What's this! Do I detect motion in this sector?


Awesome project you got going here, simply awesome :D

I just loaded the gorge, awesome I hope you'll create more =)

edit: how about a view model ? ^^

Onos download in first post.


Model viewer shot

Nice.

Epic I'll use this one aswell.

So how about a Viewmodel ? orange gorge doesnt fit with the greyish one xD

Edit Filefront doesnt let me download it :(

A re-incarnated skulk? XD

Strange, Tested the download and it works for me.

And no view models, They require more effort than I'd like to put in.

Finally it did let me download^^

Well too bad for the v_ model then but better then nothing :D

Very cool! We are gonna have to give this guy a cookie!

A real cookie would be awesome.

This is some absolutely fantastic work! Keep it up! I hope the devs see this!

We've got the gorge installed on both the <BAD> servers. Looks awesome. I'm hoping someone will finish up the Onos and we'll install that one when it's ready.

The onos is already done ;D

As requested.

Thank you very muchly.

Looking good!

We installed the Onos today. Pain will probably put up some screenshots tonight. Are you going to do the skulk as well?

It's definitely in the maybe pile.

Would you be interested in making some Christmas models, and/or maybe even Thanksgiving?

Not the best screen shots, but you get the idea.

seriously good work LOL

We have some Halloween models that we are using now and I would post a shot of them, but I don't want to hijack your thread or get it off topic. We could always use some new ones. :)

Skulk model started.
