some tree and statue

[GoldenGirl]

hi there , i have a litle request for my map simce im poor at max 3d skill and things like that.

i dont know how these tree (plant or whatever) are called in elglish but i need a model whit colision on it that we cant pass trough

i also need 3 statues at 2.5x the size of normal player of :


1 spy in cool standing pose

1 engineer in a cool standing pose

a spy and engineer in fighting pose and blocking each other attack or preparing to attack in same time. (like the picture 1 and 2 , the spy seem to have the advantage .. if its posible to make the pose where no one look like have advantage on the other

and the statue whit a marble texture if posible



these pictures are only reference but not exactly what i want since google dont have every picture people want.


i dont have anything to give back exept i can do comission of a picture or flash for the one wo gonna do it . im sorry its only what i have to offer. (also credit in the map.)

I don't konw what they would be called in elglish, but in English them there plants/tree thingy's would be called hedges. The first looks like a box hedge (Buxus Sempervirens) & the second a conifer/spruce variety

Surely you have hedges in Canada?

Perhaps you could use Propper to create your hedges & collision meshes as they are fairly simple shapes. Then edit the VTFs yourself?

Getting a modeler to make something for you like this will be tough. The best thing to do is to post a map, have it tested (use a brush or something as a place holder for these) and when you enter beta and it looks like you have a solid map, THEN people might make you something, but asking for models for an unknown map, that will be tough to come by.

EDIT: They can also be called Shrubberies.

and the statue? , they are more important than the Shrubberies.

cant they be made by the original model of engineer and spy?

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Maybe, I don't know. You'd have to reposition them, put them to a base, then retexture the whole thing, which basically means re-doing the whole texture of engineer/spy...

Like I said, just put place holders for now, and put your map up on the forums. Let it be tested, go to beta, thats when you start worrying about details.

For a simple, dull effect, you could find out how to retexture the character model in marble textures.

In max you can pose the character and export that frame (mesh only, no skeleton) as a 3ds or obj. Then re-import and skin to one bone so you can export as an smd.
The decompiled models are uv mapped, it's just that the coords are shifted so using the original tex would require clean up, but if you use stone you should just be able to slap it on there and it'll look alright, maybe an AO bake would help though.

The hedges are doable in Hammer, no need for models. Models are a problem because they can't be resized. But if you make a cube, displace all faces (except the bottom one), then just paint it a bit to round it out some it would be fine. Just need to make/find a tiling leaf texture. Then you can have hedges in any size shape you want.

First you must find another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle.

We no longer require a shrubbery

but first, you will cut down the tallest tree in this forest, with a.......

Holy Mackerel.

Anyhoo, where were we?

 

[Sgt Frag]

herring, and if you can't find a herring a holy mackrel will work.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Saying that you could use a marble texture, which would be easy, but I don't know how easy posing the models would be...

And why engineer/spy... I though Sniper and spy were Nemesi?

 

[GoldenGirl]

We no longer require a shrubbery

wait what?


also i need an engineer at the place of the sniper because :
I need engineer and spy to fit the map theme.

 

[Sgt Frag]

wait what?

Sorry, we got off on the monty python/holy grail tangent. The Knights who say Nie (don't know how it's spelled) (see the pic above) ask king aurthur for a shrubbery. When he returns they say they no longer need a shrubbery.

Posing it shouldn't be that hard, I do belive the decompiled models are still rigged, so you just gotta tweak the bones around until they are where you want him. Much easier to pose than to animate.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

dont try , they will give you info and answer to your question whit pleasure but im not sure someone will do the models

Much like I said earlier, you can ask, BUT it really helps to have a running, working map that has been through some testing first.

Release a map, have a -few- tests, and then ask again.
