lol... Logic doesn't seem to knock on the door of your mind. I'll make it simpler for you:

I can put it into Source. I can't if I want it to work the way I want it to. Why in the world would I export a model to end up going through the same process again when the techniques for making it work are identified and applied?

Idiot...

To see what it will look like in game. A 3DS render is an aproximation.

But that's the thing, even if I did get it in there before D6 is ready, there is no guarantee that it will look the same. So I do it with 3D Studio instead until D6 is ready.

If the texture is made in paint, you will say OMG WTF AIRCRAFTKILLER THAT LOOKS LIKE THE EMBODIMENT OF ASS PLURAL.

If it looks good you'll say Dag yo dat is a Scvheet text0r duder.

He's not going to show you a render of a Ranger in 3ds, and then a month later you play in game and are like OMFG WHAT THE HELL HE MODELED A TATOR TOT AND SAID IT WAS THE ALLIED RANGER!?

It'll for the most part look the same. It's like when you look at beta images of a game. Their pretty close, not exactly the same. They still give you an idea.

Post the full quote... Not just what you think justifies your retarded logic.I've stated many times that we're not taking in-game images until D6 is ready for us to do it.

I could do it for HL2, or just for the model viewer, but that's a waste of time when I can simply render it instead of spending an hour making the vtx files and converting from Max into .mdl, and finally making sure all the shaders are almost identical to how I want them to be.

So, then Renardin6 is wasting his time also. Right? :rolleyes:

No, but you're definitely wasting your time when you make responses like that which show you don't pay any attention to anything except one single reply.

As I said earlier, had you paid any attention at all, they already have an engine to place their work in, and they've rendered their work in said engine before. Switching to Max now is no excuse and only hints that they're hiding some crappy look of it.

Going back on topic, the little hump at the top shouldn't be there at all, but that is my only grief with the model.

Think about it. That machine tunnels under the ground, and the tunnel can only be as big as the cutting tools that it uses to make the tunnel. The Devil's Toungue has retractable flamethrowers for a reason - the digging tools dig an oblong shape, and the flamethrower extensions would snap when it entered the ground.

Since the grinders are BELOW the point of that hump, the tank would dig down about a metre and then just stop at an angle because some dipshit put a hump above the clearance of the tank.

And while that would be incredibly amusing to look at, it's wrong.

But like I say, otherwise it looks fine.

Not to make you sound stupid, but that top part DOES go down before and after burrowing, simultaneous with the arms unfolding/folding... and, allegedly, Reborn will have this animation take place as part of a new digging system.
