Weapon Tutorial

by Ryan C. Seirks · in Artist Corner · 09/12/2005 (12:52 pm) · 4 replies

I've looked all over for a good tutorial on weapon mounting etc, but can't find one. Does anyone know of one? Doesn't really matter what tool its for, I use blender, and most concepts are pretty across the board.

Thank you!

No but I can tell you that in milkshape I do this..
You make a node connected to the end of your arm
call it mount0, mount1 or mount2.
then in crossbow.cs you can select the mount point

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(CrossbowImage)
{
// Specify mount point & offset for 3rd person, and eye offset
// for first person rendering.
mountPoint = 0;
eyeOffset = "0.1 0.4 -0.6";
