[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuKxiSNINkY]blender crossbow rigged - YouTube[/ame]

thanx to the great tutorial i found some time ago on how to rig a bow i without much trouble managed to rig the crossbow so it can be animated easily

[Frost R17]

with 'previous one' you mean the original hexen2 low-poly crossbow?

This one; it does not look like it's easy to hold.

[talisa]

@frost
yeah that one is the original low-poly crossbow model

.

also.... big news!

the 'Buryza-do Kyanon' is done

ive also included the arrow pick-up for it, and ive also made the projectile.
it also includes the arrows enemies shoot because they use the same model

hope y'all will enjoy the new crossbow model!
lemme know what you think of it after you try it out in-game

first time i ever rigged a model to animate it, and personally i think it came out great!

.

.

in other news....
wont ya look at what i came across earlier when i was playing hexen2 for fun:

the exact same chest which is used in Nsoe, meaning this model is also from hexen2.
so ive fixed it up to be usable with FTEQW! find post about it in hexen2 thread here:

.

also, ive revisited my hud sword that i made cuz i wasnt satisfied with the animation of it,
it wasnt correctly positioned and it didnt look like the hand was really holding it cuz of that.
so ive completely re-did the animation of sword from scratch


last time i first removed the axe from the hand and then put the sword in it with each frame,
this time i didnt remove the axe first and used the axe as guide for the position and rotation of the sword,
and the position of the sword looks much better now during the animations

EDIT: noticed i accidentially had old texture included for arm, fixed it so pk3 includes correct texture for arm

[talisa]

just revisited the rejuvinators, cuz the "fake shadowing" i added didnt look very good at all, and made them look cartoony rather then real.
since i learned how to bake AO-maps since then i thought id instead bake an AO-map for them for realistic shading

the result:

they instantly look much more real then before

side-by-side comparison:

.

think ill be re-visiting the end-bane and twin-shot/equalizer as well and bake AO-maps for them,
cuz it looks a million times better then my "fake shading"

[talisa]

just also re-visited the end-bane


DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION WITH BETTER SHADING

[talisa]

and lastly, the twinshot/equalizer has been updated with AO-maps

also, the texture is now more hi-res. source-texture was 2500pixels, and before for old version i downscaled it to 1024. now i instead made texture be 2048x2048

GET TEH NEW VERSION WITH BETTER SOFT SHADING

[talisa]

just made a version of the crossbow i made for hexen2 with FTEQW

Great to see you honing your chops even more talisa!

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

[talisa]

merry Xmas to you too gdiddy

[MadGypsy]

That's looking really good, Talisa.

Happy Saturnalia

[talisa]

thanx a lot gypsy

quite proud of it since its first time i ever really did a serious animation for a model,
at least in the sense of it being a 'real animation' rather then just position/scale/rotation of the entire model

and the animation came out really well imo

[talisa]

just had a look at the twinshot/NSOE equalizer again, cuz the shading was a bit to soft.
so i played around with editing the brightness and contrast of AO-map a bit to get more obvious shadows on the model

right one is new version with more obvious slightly darker shading

[talisa]

lil something i decided to do since its a simple model and i been thinking of doing it for a while:
the barrel




this is another item which was obviously inspired by heretic


since a basic barrel is such a simple model
the model itself is already done, and its UV-mapped too

so all thats left is baking AO-map for it and then making textures for it

.

for the rings on it i decided to go for realism rather then a 1:1 copy of the original item.

real barrels never have a single ring along the center of the barrel,
so instead of 1 ring along center i made it have one ring some distance above and another ring some distance below the center,
which is what real barrels also have

[talisa]

and... shazaam

teh barrel, which is used in NSOE2 is done
cant think of any other instance where its used at all other then that

GET IT HERE!

[JDSTONE]

looks like all it needs now is a old #7 logo! lol i never understood why there were exploding radioactive barrels in base maps but a whiskey barrel i get that the orges look like there drunks grate work whats next on the list?
