idea: corvus model showing holding different weapons
hey all.
i totally love playing heretic, and sometimes i like to play from 3rd person view as well.
and i noticed that the current corvus model always shows holding the staff, no matter what weapon you have equiped, while in doom the marine model actually shows holding the weapon you have equiped.
it would be so cool if someone would also make variations of the corvus model holding different weapons so the model actually shows holding the model you have equiped just like in doom with the jdrp.
i would sooo love to see that, since i play heretic a lot more then doom, and think its a shame corvus doesnt show with different weapons just like the space marine does in doom

Well, if people are playing multiplayer, then maybe I should finish this other, newer Corvus model instead of decorations...
it would be so awesome if you would make corvus model holding all weapons.
ive always missed that in heretic and think it looks rather silly that corvus is always holding the same weapon.
i could easily live with waiting a bit longer for decorations if we're finally gonna get a corvus model which actually holds the weapon you got equiped.
please make that psychikon!
I am probably at risk, but would like to say something more about the Corvus-model.
I noticed that Corvus has 3 death state:
1) normal (shows the current model - Corvus lying on the floor);
2) Corvus burns in the fire, in this case - nothing from him is (do not see in the current model);
3) Corvus breaks in part - on the floor are lumps from him (do not see in the current model);
..........flying head.....
The latter two states can easily see if the shot to the Corvus of the rocket launcher!
Also, now the model is not implemented the conversion of Corvus in Chicken, both on behalf of the player,
and outside. What is likely to need to build up a new - 10 th HudWeapon?!
That I had in mind - when I said that is not easy and we need to change the Corvus animations.
(Guys, you can see those pictures from the Russian server?)
Psychikon, I just want to help, and does not ask you all to realize this! Might just be useful information?
Probably - do it yourself well know.
Any improvements it is good for jHeretic and players who play in it. But of course - you know better what to do as. I'm just a little present - how to make the models. I modific and try finish old model of Shadowsphere - this is the highest achievement of my.
PS
Guys, write such big posts in English and technical language - it is very difficult for me. I read in English much better. I think you do not understand me correctly. You tell me, if I can - try again.
PS-2
I've never played in a Heretic multiplayer. In the single, I sometimes laugh when converted monsters in chickens.
Most recently, I strongly laughed - when my friend accidentally turned me into a chicken in LAN-game!!! Since I do not know, that the players can transform other players in chickens! In the Raven - come up with fun!
he he...
all your other models look amazing, so im sure the new corvus will be great!
looking forward to seeing it
I want to show an update on the Corvus, but I don't want anyone to be anticipating it too much, because I keep spending so little time on it. Even when I have free time, it seems like I am always scared to run into difficulties or that it won't be good enough when I get it done. I think that's the real problem right there: a lack of confidence. Also, not much experience. Most of what I've done has been for this sourceport; besides that, there have been a few Oblivion models which were lost with an old hard drive, and also some other stuff, such as models used for rendering sprites for a GameMaker game which was also lost.
The main problem with the Corvus model that I keep being frustrated subconsciously about (which affects my progress) is this: to make a complete model, I'll want different weapons also. For the different weapons, I'll have to create the models for those, which should also be recyclable for weapon pickups. To model those, it would be wise to first model the more detailed HUD models, and then do those others. You know what I could do, though? I could just release it in stages, kind of like the gargoyle was. Yeah, so first release, expect there to only be a wand like in the sprite. After that, I have the knowledge to implement the other weapons already, but just need time for modeling them.
Psychikon - you make a new model from scratch? Or use the old Corvus body?
But in any case - do not worry, I'm sure, this forum does not contain people who will say - go, go faster! I think everyone here does what he likes! And even if his work will appreciate a few people (not millions) - it will still do it, because he likes this thing! And if you do not interesting Corvus now - leave it, do what you like best! (I hope you understand me correctly...)
If I can help with something - you tell me. Though I do not help you technically, but I have a somewhat complex ideas at the expense of Corvus model.
As for me, I'm interested in any progress! And if it will be release a step by step - I'll be glad of it too.
Possibly off-topic. I have selected some, I think not bad screenshots. This is not the last state in jHeretic, I have not yet managed and connect all the new models, which you did, but they can be interesting to see someone. I put them in one archive (23Mb): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16645572/jHeretic2011.zip
Very funny this screenshot:
As in a circus: Lich looks representation - Gargoyle on Weredragon!
At these screenshots seen a lot of work of many people! I think - it's a great job and I like it!
all your models look amazing. hope to see screenshots or so soon. any are welcome. and we can try giving constructive commentary for it
but take your time of course, id rather wait long and have an amazing model then that you try to finish it quick in exchange for quality. quality always goes above speed, and making something amazing takes a lot of time. i know that, ive tried making 3d-models too long ago. i was amazed to see the amazing quality of your props and the imp/afrit models. it are the highest quality models there are in any doom/heretic/hexen port.
yours look so real and detailed, and the animations look fluently and realistic, unlike nearly from every other model which almost all look rather cartoony and lack detail and have choppy and static animations
anyways, again, take your time and dont rush the corvus model. id rather have you take long and make an amazing model then that you rush it and the model doesnt look as great as it could be.
Well, I will put the Heretic II style Corvus alternate model on hiatus then, and just concentrate on the original style for now, especially as it is easier. I did a body sculpt, but now I'm starting to do the shirt, and the pants may be altered a little for the original Corvus, but not too much. I can show you the sculpt and also how the face looks so far, but that's basically it for now. Everything else is easy besides this part, and I think I got discouraged with trying to do the alternate one first and keeping the original til afterward. I haven't even begun on the cloak or gloves yet, but that's ok.

looking pretty good so far. I have always preferred the original Corvus compared to the Heretic II version.
and i agree with elysian, the heretic1 version of corvus is nicer then the heretic2 version.
in heretic2 he looks way to skinny and not warrior-like imo.
heretic2 corvus looks more like a fast runner or an anorexia-patient rather then a hardened warrior like he's supposed to be
anyway, the corvus model looks quite amazing so far, especially the top picture.
you got eye for detail, and i love detailed stuff
it looks kinda like a generic model now, but thats of course cuz it doesnt have hair and such yet and its only a start
