Well, i'm done modelling it and i'm now skinning. I may ammend the model a little when i've got the base skin on, but this is how it's looking at the moment. Note i've taken the shot in flat shading mode since the texture at present is hideous.

Also, i'm thinking of making the whole lot thinner, but in the end, it's not gonna be that big at all.

*doomed*

Esuna while I don't have such a "helpful" comment as tresth.
Isn't that a bit odd for a mine?
Mines are suspose to be small and not noticable.
I grab that you are going to make it smaller but that shape seems odd.

It is small though.

I've been told that it more resembles a C4 charge, but then again, i don't much care, it's the most complicated model i've managed to do in my exceptionally short career in modelling, heh, so i'm gonna finish it regardless.

I think it's an interesting design. It should be much flatter though or it'll be as much a danger for the Kharaa by tripping them up as it is by exploding.

Looks cute.

i take it u got the idea from a block of c4... thats the impression i get anyways

except that it`d be spotted from the moon, great

A little update, the base skin's getting there, it's not that pretty yet, but it's an improvement.

Also, this shot's the right way up. And where i've used the 'vent2' texture, it will be changed, i just needed something quick, heh.

Got a full working skin now.

It doesn't look so bad ingame, gonna play with the size a bit tho.

Now that I see it in scale, it is pretty sexah...
Agh, I've tried all modeling tuts and I just can't grasp modeling...sigh....I give up!

can you do a drake stripe ver.

lol! What's the point of a mine with warning stripes?

i think we need a pack of stripes for everything! ADD STRIPES TO ANY MODEL MADE FROM NOW ON!!!!!

verry nice!

Looks very cool ingame. I'll be downloading this when you release it. Good work, keep it up.

looks good, I would have gone with the standard TSA green but what ever suits ya.

very nice model . it kinda fits in with the spec ops model out there.

Maybe kharaa are attracted to the pretty stripes, then BOOM!

Is it just me, or does this look a lot like one of the traps from GhostBusters? You know, the thing that sucks up the ghost to hold it...


Funky mine anyway, probably harder to spot than the current enormous green pancake that sticks two inches out from the wall.

Nice mine!

I like the "armed" text on it. (What if someone makes a version that sys "If you can read this, your most probably dead" or something funnier)

Release it, and Ill use it.

hehe or like "If you can read this, and i havent blown up yet, you really should jump away."

but sometimes u would be blown up b4 u finish reading that!!! XD

Exactly

Thanks for all the great feedback. I've now got the model finalised (Did some tweeking with the size of the lens and of the "tail") and the w_ models are implemented and working perfectly. The skin still requires a little work, but it's functional at least, so now i'm doing the toughest part for me, adding on the marine arms and sorting the animations. I'm gonna see if i can get away with using the default mine animations, but all this bones stuff is making me crazy.

Hopefully i can have something for the v_ model done today. Hopefully......

I've not even looked at the p_ model yet so i'm not sure what that entails to get working, oh well, guess i'll see when i get there.

You can do it Esuna
Looks really good, probably the best Mine replacement out there.

You mean there's actually other mine replacements?

Anyway, after another failed v_ attempt, i decided to do the p_ for the time being, and here it is, done.

Yes, i know the back's unskinned, i'll get round to it, ok?

doing great esuna

Quality, long tim since u been outta the OT forums an ur doin great

Well, i finally managed to get the v_model in place. No animations as of yet, but it works.

maaaybe you should scale it down a bit

it looks like its in the size of the stomach of a sumo-wrestler (old joke warning)

I've left the hand positions in the same places as the original mines, i just scaled my mine up.

It's not like you actually need to aim with the mine really. Heh. Although, point noted.

Sorry to say but imho doesnt look that good the v model. Mayb some more detail in the skin I dunno, it just doesnt do it for me. But strangely the peewees r cool0r

Lol, I know. Looks good so far then

i find the model and skin to be nice, but its a bit too big..

I really like it.

but I would suggest making it green and putting TSA on it, so it fits in better

Who needs green?

But a TSA logo is fitting.

QUOTE (343_guilty_spark @ Oct 7 2003, 02:52 PM)

Looks cute.

cute? naaaaah! Cute is a little fuzzy puppy or kitten. Cute is (according to my girlfriend) me when I blush. This model definetely falls in the "cool" category.

IM doing some striped med packs/ammo box's

stay tooned

NICE mine Btw

when its finished, PM me if you want some hosting.

(and ill be watching for ur ammoboxes/medkits drake )

That is a fecking huge mine!
Might wanna size it down a little.
And I zink TSA green and the logo would look good.
Good work so far.

uhm..any progress..at all?

/me wants this to live on and be completed

Well wouldnt the 'rines think the Kharra are... well... dumb? And put warning stripes on to stop themselves from walking over them, without worry of the Kharra seeing them cause Kharra are dumb ****s?

that would work if it wasnt for one small detail :

that works in reality

this is virtual reality

<--i love that one

ahem. realism.

and this mod is just so realism based, isnt it?

jesus christ must you analize everything? just because this mod isnt a 'realistic' mod doesn't mean we can't have realistic models. Theres no argument. I never said the mod was realistic or not, i meant that we like realistic models (or just more detailed ones), HENCE we MODEL our own! Jesus!

hurry up and release this already, enough talk more play.
