half life 2 ministrider/hunter Anonymous
Are there any models of the Half Life Two MiniStrider AKA Hunters.http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Ministrider
>> Cotton Eyed Joe
We have access to the 3d models.

No papercraft of them tho :'(
>> Anonymous
Largely because HL2 models have over a thousand polys, which tend not to work outon paper.

yea this think looks quite complicated but its A BEAUTY

AARRAAAAHHHGAAAG!!

Yeah, resulting papercraft should be like the size of real hunter to make all those details. In the other hand, what type of paper would you need to make them both strong and still light?

Though, I'd like a papercraft of it, even if I had to make some small parts over and over again.

Sage because my comment is pretty much useless.

Anyone brave enough for the SCURRY THOUSANDS OF POLYGONS. CUz i wanna huntor
>> dragolad
could someone post the .mdl with all therelated files. i might get a chance to turn it into a papercraft i did the same sort of thing with a lot of stuff from hl2/portal. I just cant put it on the web in a .pdo format because i need to buy pepakura.

sorry bout what i said earlier i thought you meant that it was obvious to buy pepakura, oh and by the way i might be able to get the files for the hunter from my friend.
>> dragolad
and i just found a working keygen for the new pepakura.
so can somebody post the files.

you need gcfscape. have fun finding the right files

i got bored/motivated and extracted the correct files I have the

The only problem is that you need a SMD coverter

I know that 3d max 6,7,8 all have SMD converters
and another free program called Blender has one too

but i cant figure the damn things out i dont do 3d modeling so im a noob.

If im missing something i have more files
<this is where i found out how to extract the files>

So if anyone wants the 3d model i can post it in SMD format, It was simple to get
Using GFCScape found at:

http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26

go to :
"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\episode two content.gcf"

and search for ministrider
and you got the correct models

So here is the Rapid Share of the SMD model hopefully someone can convert it

Hi 00,
I’ll be glad to help you if I can. Just so I understand, do you want the model source or a compiled version of the model. You can use the Source SDK and the model viewer in order to look at the compiled model. If that’s what you want then I can send you some links and directions. Promise you’ll send us pictures of the finished product.
>> Anonymous
sweet!!!!!!
you should talk to him about the very high poly count, and if there is anyway for him/us to reduce it without taking away from the model
also explain that we would simply need a textured .3ds file
very low poly


WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
EPIC!!!

WE WANT DIRECTIONS TOO!!!

Its so sad that we had to end up asking Valve for it, lol

Oh wow. This is freakin' awesome.
>> dragolad
instead of using a smd converter use crafty off of the same page as gcf scape and vtfedit from the same page also. from within crafty open the .mdl and export as an .obj, then extract the .gcf that has the episode 2 materials in it and open the .vtf and export as a .jpeg.
this is the way ive done all the other models from hl2/portal. oh and by the way ive made a .pdo of the headcrab and strider from hl2 if anybody wants it.

okay i could use a second opinion and critique
first of all, no matter how we make this, it has to be pretty big inorder for this to work
second here is a pic of different versions of the ministrider
the one on the far left is the original with 9000 verticies or polygons i forget. the middle has 1800, and the closest one has 940
which is best???
any suggestions?

oh and please dont even go on saying how terrible it looks.

WE AREN"T GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP EVERY DETAIL!!!!!!!!!!!
please understand that

Holy shit thats some bad topoplogy

the middle one looks alright, but the 940 one is messed up

Pepakura works by unfoldying the polygons, so it would be easier to assess the model if you posted a screengrab which showed the polygons. That way, /po/eple can already "mentally" try to unfold it and see if there are likely to be any problems.
>> Anonymous
the only problem with that, is that there is still enough polygons, that a wire frame is pretty confusing from only one angle

do you guys want me to upload files?
>> Anonymous
Valve wont email you back. They've been working for weeks on spy tf2 masks for me. havent heard from them since.
>> dragolad
ok on the previous topic of not being able to lod something on mega upload, the headcrab is now uploaded on the pepakura archive and im working on puting the strider on their archive.
>> Anonymous
yea the first email was quick but than nothing
>> dragolad
striders on the pepakura archive and im hoping on getting the hunter model tomorrow.
>> dragolad
somebody should have said this but valve isnt going to give any of their stuff away they want you to buy all their games so you can use the sdk to open the models, to do stuff like make models and such.
>> Anonymous
yeah i did buy it, and i have the model, but what we need is to lessen the polys and optimize it for pepakura.
>> Anonymous
do we really need him for that?
>> dragolad
got thestrider model and it's saved in .pdo format i'm now going to post it on the pepakura archive.some one might want to make a cleaner version.

Eh, for some reason I don't seem to be able to do anything with the .mdl files that I extract from portal - would you be able to upload a .pdo or some 3D model of chell? No need for it to be low poly or anything, just a workable format that I can open straight in Milkshape or something.
Pretty please with a cherry on top? =D
