[Modeling] about 3rd person/sitting on the ground, not fp.

[bigshot007]

I finished a sniper 1st person model(FP) I now need the same model for 3rd person, what is the better thing to do, make a new 3rd person model, and if i do, wich one is it?

[hiheyhello]

ok there are 2 ways you can do this, for way one you have to model all the models in sniper rifle mod2 thing a majig

1. make a 3rd person model
2. do it the cheap way and just go to hht
scroll down to weapons
click sniper rifle
where it says mod2/sniperrifle/sniperrifle change it to
mod2/sniperrifle/fp/fp
there your 3d model is done:D

So this includes when the sniper is on the ground/nobody's holding it? This pic explains it>>>

[hiheyhello]

you moved the model... i said IF you want to make 3rd person model do them all OR you can take a
short cut and go into HHT scroll down to weap tag, then selected sniper rifle
where its says mod2 to the left VERY first thing change that to sniper rifle FP/FP

there you just made a 3rd person model

Since your model is going way to the left it looks like you shifted the whole model

the levels of Detail do not affect the different persons (1st + third) there are 2 different models for those.

As you can see there is a third person model and a third, you can either do it the cheap way, swapping the 3p with the fp in the dependancy swapper, or by opening your model you currently have and moving it back to the proper positioning of the 3p model. (I'm not sure if the verts + inds are the same, I think they are)

Edit: Wait, do you have to model all the 3rd person view models (LoD's) for it to show? I'm not really a modeler so I don't know for sure.
