Bomb Preivew - First Timer

[NickTheSushi]

Hai, I'm a first time MilkShape user, and I wanted to show off a bomb I'm making ;o
Comments please :D

Looks nice - very "Blocko" style. You could probably take a lot of triangles/stacks/vertices/etc. off the fuse of the bomb, though, and keep the same amount of detail, to reduce lag.

Example of what I mean attached. It's made in Blender, but still the same thing applies in all 3D programs: both models here would show up looking the same in-game but the left one would be a lot slower to render.

Thanks

No problem

Reminds me of the Zelda Bomb item I had to fix for my project

Now what is done by beginners was done by pro's 10 years ago.

Set the string part as a node so it can burn and be hidden once burnt. You could even have a failure of explosion :D

[Space Guy]

Or give it an animation of the fuse moving downwards (maybe a blackened tip?), that way we can add emitters and have it burn down slowly.

[Jervan]

Ooh cool :D

[NickTheSushi]

Alright, I got full MilkShape :D I dunno how to do animations, so I'll upload the model in a second, and someone can do it for me. Jervan, use it in the PPT Midevil mod if you want.

[Jervan]

Monty's in charge of that, so it's up to him.

Nick you are on the right track for sure :D Wish my wlan was working so I could host with some of my personal add-ons D:

[NickTheSushi]

Well, for whoever wishes to animate the wick, enjoy
