Half a SUSAT and a pistol grip to go

oh bummer great pitty it`s not a ABA model though

i'm downloading the software now cos i want to give it ago, i have a few good ideas for the game, and there's no harm in having a bash at it, i.ll install it and see whats what and if you don't mind telling me the basics it would help please

Ok i installed it and lookeed at the tutorials but im still lost, when i click one one of the windows they turn black lol, am i doing something wrong or is that ment to happen, now i've asked for help twice, am i going to get an answer or is it work it out for your self coz i cant be f**ed to teach you?

Use the tutorials to make a few chess pieces, you learn a lot. Then make something simple like a box., honestly mate, it is similar to ComBAT, you need to just play with it

ok i'll give it ago

The pawn and the knight are the best ones. Then having just been in the same boat as you i would get ambitious, you will learn tons from overkill, that gimpy i did was 35,000 polys when it should have been 3.5k, i learnt a lot and the carbine is now on 3800 polys and its almost done

Did you get it working properly yet m8?

Yes and no, yes the white screen bug is fixed, and no cos i can't find all the buttons lol

right worked it out i had to download the service packs for vista, and now i have done the chess parts/ an apple(lol) and the plane, that one was a poo bag cos of the lineing up, but all good fun and im learning alot from this, going to move on to something else tonight, i got square eyes at the moment tho lol.

I think i have gone as far as i can go on my carbine model now, here it is completed, yeah i know the pistol grip looks weird among other things but i think i nearly got it right.




My next mission is to try and UV map it, whatever that is, then make it the right colour, skin it, however you do that

Right, apparently UV Mapping is breaking it down into its component parts, like this ......



Then its making a skin for it, obviously mine is very rough to try and get the mechanics, so i just coloured it green and black.......



Then you stick it all back together and it looks like how you coloured it in......



Yes..... i know it looks poo but i am still trying to suss this out. I set about making a skin-thing for it as a complete photoshop novice and heres where i am at now.....



When i have cracked it i will let you know

If you get stuck giz a shout mate, I'm a whizz with Paint look left
