Hi! Now it's my turn to write a small article! My name is Flavien (a.k.a. Eldrad), I belonged to the SGTC 1 devteam, then I transited by The Last Stand to end up in the SGTC 2 devteam around Christmas 2007. I work here as a weapons, characters & props modeler, on the assignation of bones for the animations, on the UV maps and on the animations. Furthermore, a tight collaboration with Speed should allow us to create a map named tokra but this will be detailled in a future article or in a future news.
Let's come to the subject of this article: the Tau'ri sniper rifle! It's actually a MSG 90. Here it is modelised but not textured yet nor animated:
I'm currently working on the bone placing and the assignation of weights for each vertice to these bones. Here is what it looks like so far:
Last minute add-on: The following pics show you the weapon textured by WeaponsB (cf the DevBlog article on the TER to learn how he proceeds):
Bye bye!
