[gdiddy62]

Looks awesome!

[Ruohis]

we have an axe!

worked a bit on the axe attack animation, still not perfect but at least it's better than yesterday

[talisa]

great work ruohis, looks totally sweet

keep up the great work

havent tried it in-game, but the pictures look super. very accurate looking model

[Ruohis]

I must say that this has been a productive weekend

Animating the weapons was much faster than I anticipated

Now it's a bit more fun to try it ingame enjoy, and please post everything that needs fixing in the animation you can find, just in case so that I don't miss them while going through the animation over and over and over and over again before we have a completed model

Edit: And if you want to help with the textures please do the pants need pockets and the multigun is still a bit out of place

Hello Ruohis,

You proof once again that you have the right sense when it comes to Quake models.
All your models shows this and are perfectly faithful but include a nice personal Ruohis-touch at the same time.

I want to say Thank you for all the work you have done and still plan to do.

I also appreciate your close contact to the community and try to implement their thoughts/wishes/ideas.

wow looks superb ruohis. just tried it in-game, looks great, real faithfull and well-modelled

cant wait to see more models from you


later ill start a lan game with myself so i can look better at the animations from all angles,
and ill let you know if i see anything that could be better or such

The Axe on the back looks nice Ruohis!

I also had put the axe on the back when not in use in working on another player, so I think it is only logical.
I also like your idea for being able to switch that out for whatever melee weapon it may be and would do exactly that since you are only going to do it once,I'd say go that way to increase compatibility for more mods.
It is a shame we still have to use a multigun but at least you have made a new one and it looks worlds better than the old one.
Thank you for all your effort,I cant wait to use it.

Got to give this a spin!

It's the good feedback from the community that keeps me making these models and not just thinking why bother. Thank you all for your support! And i'll at least complete this remodeling project Not a lot remains http://www.ruohis.com/progress.htm

And all the talk about what weapon will be holstered, for those who have not herd of this here's the original project thread by trickle, I also helped by modeling the shotgun
Trickle's new vweps project! | QuakeWorld.nu

Will implement the same model name used in this project w_weapons.
I'll make one complete player model the way it is, and one without any weapons and have a set of my own w_models included. I can also make a simple "rigging" model that has the correct animation so anyone can use that and create more w_models

my only thought is how this will work when the weapon is on the back when switchin between axe and projectile wepons.

... Not a lot remains http://www.ruohis.com/progress.htm

That is an impressive list Ruohis.
I was not aware, that you did some of the mentioned ones.
It would be nice if you would make a complete "set" download once you are finished.
So many things got lost during your break several years back.
Even the bravest collectors dont have all of them I guess...

Read what Spike says about these kind of issues.
It requires a modification of some sort. There are several possibilities, but all have their disadvantages...

hey ruohis,

just last night i tried what i said to take a good look at your player model, and i must say it looks sweet. but i did find a few oddities and things for improvement:

multigun doesnt stay in players left hand, position keeps moving at left hand
multigun seems to 'wiggle' in the players hands
metal parts of multigun seem to be slightly transparent too, which causes weird visuals


player seems to look down while holding axe, which seems kinda odd
idle pose while holding axe is not smoothly looped, and skips constantly
players head seems to wobble in axe holding pose, kinda like one of those wobbler thingies

here's a short clip i made last night which shows the things i mean:

ill try it later ruohis
although i remember that more often with items you make there seem to be problems with alpha of your textures when using them. like with your monsters the textures first had to be converted to fix the alpha problem before being able to use them at all in darkplaces

@ the vweaps
they look totally sweet i think
only the grenadelauncher and supernailgun look a bit to small i think
perhaps try making them both a bit bigger? especially the SNG looks quite a bit to small

[bluntz]

Maybe you fixed his legs already .

[Ruohis]

the player isn't holding any weapon so I assume this is one of the first test versions, in my previous post (and in the first post of this thread) is a link to most recent version
