I'd just started this thread so everyone working on something for the mod can post their progress.

Thanks to the updated media site, we now know that most of the marine weapon models are in progress. The artist could post the progress of those weapons here, so the rest of us can follow it.

Personally, I've worked on a chainsword model. The model are almost finished, no skin or animations yet.
Someone mentioned a place we could upload pictures and such. If you tell me where and how, I can post some work-in-progress shots for you.

This thread should probably be stickied

The team members have our own area for organising this kind of thing and the media page is really only intended for finished content.  Work in progress is not always was well recieved as you might hope.

If any non-team members would like to post their work on here that would be great (it's nice to know where to look for future team members).

I see no need to lock or sticky this thread at the momment.

As I look for a place to host the screenshot, look at the picture I used as rotoscope reference for my chainsword:
http://uk.games-workshop.com/download/popup.htm?/spacemarines/artwork/images/01-big.jpg
The marine to the right holds it in his right hand.

EDIT:
It actually didn't take long to find an image host.
Screenshots here:

I'm a bit proud of the on/off switch, it is placed so it can be operated by thumb (theoretically, that is :wink: ). It might be hard to see that there is a "U" at the bottom of the handle.
It still needs animations, and a skin.

Pretty good stay migb, you seem to have the knack Smiley

A few suggestions before you go too far :
    Leave the Ultramarine badge for the skinner, so it can be re-skinned for another chapter.
    Your blade narrows toward the tip , leaving the "cut in" section looking alarmingly thin.  If you look closely at  the referenece the front and back of the blade run parallel.
    The tip of the blade in the reference has a curved tip, where as your's has gone all boxy, which is suprisng given the curviness of the hilt.
    Finaly in most cases the chainsword (motor?) at the base of the blade wraps around the bade rather than sitting on it's side.


Most of these oints could potentialy vary between styles of chainsword, but I thought they were worth mentioning.  I hope they help you make a better chainsword.

I havent seen any mentions on a IRC-channel for the mod.
What channel is it on?

I've made the proposed changes. Do you think I should round the edges of the chainsword? I've done it at the top, but I can change it back quickly.

I think this should be its own seperate forum. And only Devs. can creat new threads. And you have to be registered to view it. Which would probably make more people join.

Showing off every WIP screen in some forum would kindof ruin some of the fun when the news are posted...

No.
Reason 1: This is for "unofficial" models that might come into the game.
Reason 2: You can't get feedback for something you don't show.

And, by the way, a screenshot where I've fixed the model a bit.

Next step: creating a low-poly version (the w_ model)

why make unofficial models?

there are 2 kinds of models, Offical ones and works in progress ones. Unless you do something silly like mofe a necron monolith for a mod without necrons.

BTW, not to put a downer on your fine modeling work there but you know we have a chainsword already made?
