Why is it so hard to find.... Thread

Player modelers and animators?! I've got almost everything but those two for the mod, which by the way is starting to turn into something looking quite a bit good, so yea.Any help that could be scrounged together for those positions would be nice .

I already did I post in the Help Wanted section, just thought I'd come and ask on here since noone ever looks at the Help Wanted, at least not good enough to actually respond.

Perhaps they're all occupied? Try searching for fullfilled help requests.

Either that or try www.3dartists.com on their forums for modelers. I don't know any for animators, though....but, you can always strike gold and find a modeler than can both skin and animate. Just look for their usual hangouts

Shame im too busy

Alot of them are busy. Why don't try yourself? Could be a good learning experiance.

It isnt that hard .. theres some great player model tutorials out there which i wont list here cos theres a whole bunch listed in the moddb features section and in various other topics .
If you get reaally stuck id be happy to help

Cause it takes mucho skill to player model because you need to get the proportions right. Where as modeling guns and such is easier. And making realistic animations takes practice too.

I've done my try at player models, in fact I think I posted my first work in the Pimpage and Posing forum.Thing is, my head on that model looked like crap, and some of the proportions were iffy.Also, I CANNOT RIG.If my life depended on my rigging skills, I would have been killed 10 times over. Stuff, I think I AM going to request your assistance, at least in some departments so send me a PM or I'll send you a PM, and we'll see what we can arrange.

I player model its the best. But ive given up on HL1 mods.

Remember, you can animate yourself. And if your doing character animations, then why not rent a animation center to record movements.

but he cant rig... or so he says

Hmmm. I can't rig either. Hire someone.

But that is the problem they are hard to find.

Congratuations everyone we have brought this thread full circle it is ready for a lock

Ok, I think I know some who can do some animating. If I do find him, and the threads locked. Then too bad.

Riggings easy if you find an already made one that is or use in built character tools like valve did .. Skinnings a bit dodgy , But animating is the coolest

You just need plenty of practice and plenty of watching things watch how people walk if your doin cartoon style stuff watch cartoons its as simple as absorbing whats around you .. as well as how you move try what ever your trying to animate for yourse;f . watch yourself and copy.

The more you practise the easier you will get .. theres loads of animation VTMs out there which i found really usefull.

Basically just have ago .. remember were all pants when starting out but with practice you can be the best
