[TUT][Modelling] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

Credits:
Koshak - for his video tutorial how to change knife in v_knife model
GAARA54 - this tutorial

Cs 1.6 have 3 model's for weapon:
v_ - view model (you see this model in your hands)
p_ - player model (you see this model in other player hands)
w_ - world model (you see this model on a ground when you drop weapon)
How to make p_ and w_ model's for weapon when you have only v_ model ?
It very easy

look at an example of this v_ model:

Put v_ak47 in any folder
Open milkshape3d
Go to: Tools -> Half-Life -> Decompile Normal HL MDL File
Decompile our v_ak47 model

Then go to:
File -> Import -> Half-Life SMD

What we see ?

We see many animations and 3 reference:
lhand.smd - left hand
rhand.smd - right hand
f_ak47_template.smd - (reference of ak-47) it what we need

Import f_ak47_template.smd
IMPORTANT: put tick only on TRIANGLES

then put standart cs 1.6 w_ak47 model in any folder
decompile: Tools -> Half-Life -> Decompile Normal HL MDL File

and import w_ak47.smd (reference of w_ model ak-47)
IMPORTANT: put tick on triangles and skeleton


What we see ?

Then use 2 button: Rotate and Move
apply exactly our colored ak-47 on standart ak-47

Then use Scale button to change the size of our colored ak-47

http://forums.alliedmods.net/attachm...1&d=1287437436

Change X Y Z size of model and press "Scale"

What we see ?

Our AK-47 is exactly like the standart AK-47 and is suitable in size, very good

What do next ?
Go to "Groups" select standart ak-47 meshes and press "Delete" on keybord

Go to "Joints" select joint Line02 then select with mouse meshes of colored ak-47 and press "Assign"

Go to File -> Export -> Half-Life SMD
and export smd there when we decompile standart ak-47 w_ model
Export for example as 1.smd

open w_ak47.qc in decompile folder of standart ak-47 w_ model

and change:
to:

Copy all textures from folder where we decompile colored v_ak47, to folder where we decompile standart w_ak47

Go to Tools -> Half-Life -> Compile QC File
Compile w_ak47.qc

open w_ak47.mdl with HLMV

what we see ?

WOW!
we maded w_ak47 colored model from v_ak47

just as well made p_ model, exactly you can change the knife in hand in a model of a v_knife and a lot more we can attach anything to the body of the player model ...

Try to do it

lol, not enough room for all images)

Re: [TUT] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

Nice, I always wanted to know how to do that, it sounds pretty easy indeed. :p

And what about about non-standard weapon ?

Re: [TUT] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

You mean like [ZP] Extra Item Grenade Launcher ?

if yes... if i'm not mistaken [ZP] Extra Item Grenade Launcher using events from ak_47
so for this extra item we must make models on skeleton of ak_47

Re: [TUT][Modelling] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

You have plenty of weapons from CS or HL which don't look like the "normal" CS weapons, my question is how you do for them ? It should have another way to make such view with non-standard weapons.

Re: [TUT][Modelling] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

well this can be useful when a model is causing consistency errors in a server, you can do this or just put mp_consistency 0 in the server.

Notes:
-when you are rigging a P_model almost all P_references use the "line03" bone, although it can be "sg552" or any other, usually the last bone is the one you need
Once done delete the default p model reference.

-you not need necesarilly put the reference as "1.smd" and edit the .QC file!
just overwrite the original reference and just add the textures.

Re: [TUT][Modelling] How to make p_, w_ models + other stuff
 

This is easy, but a lot of people don't know how can do a p_ and a w_ models.

Nice tutorial. :)
