Any sample weapons in Maya?

by Morphonix LLC · in Artist Corner · 02/14/2005 (11:04 am) · 1 replies

Looking for an example... I will be needing to make some weapons soon, and I havn't seen any examples in Maya. (I could be looking in the wrong place, of course) I find it much easier to start from something that I know works to see how it's done.

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis - I would suggest starting by making some dts shapes with the maya2dts exporter to get the hang of the parenting and layout (the maya2dts exporter docs are very very good if you read them thoroughly and practise).

The next step would be use an existing resource (I think there is an assualtrifle on here somewhere) and substituting your weapon dts model for the actual resource one. This will introduce you to the mount point, the muzzle point and the eject point (each one is a single joint skeleton node in maya) as well as using the .cfg file with the exporter.

When you get your basic model exporting and working in the engine, you will have a very good idea how to continue.
