Recongr's normal mapped arms. (PHONG)

New normal mapped hands. (PHONG)

Extract the hands folder to counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\models\weapons\v_models/

I think this one won't be the final version...

Use it with the default hand/forearm or with a tatoo skin. Don't use it with full gloves, it won't fit.

I made this because the default normal map is compressed (DXT format) and bad quality.

Includes an exponent texture, for more realistic phong (see render).

    I think this deserves a total 10/10. I haven't seen one problem.

    Pros: The phong lighting looks fucking SPECTACULARZ. Long have I waited for something of this nature. Forearm muscles is a BIG PLUS. I can't keep my eyes off this baby while playing. Notes: This is really impressive man, keep it up!

    Posted by deadlyencounter Pros: XTREMEMLY good, detailed and realistic Notes: how did u map the muscles

    I just used my imagination... anyway, they're not that good. I have to improve it in my 2nd version.

    I always make the black & white heightmap first. Then I convert it to a normal map. I mix it with other normal maps I made, including the default one if it's decent enough. Some tweaks and... here you go!

    Simple. Effective. Great.

    This is something someone like me (who gets so sick of some of the glove models) can love.

    GRAWR!

    Posted by Rufus The veins are way off. Take a look at your veins, if they look like this I suggest you go to a doctor right away because that is not how veins look. I mean how they are done looks good but how they are placed is just random.

    Posted by Recongr Veins will be the same size, but improved and the location and distribution changed, too.

    Thank you for the info, but that's what I was talking about. I'll make a new one with better placed veins. Also, I'll try to improve the tendoms. ;)

    Also, dont worry. My veins are well placed. or not? OH MY F****NG GOD!! I'M A SITUS INVERSUS!!

    meh, just kidding... XD

    Posted by Bosso Pros: Good nice job on the phong Cons: The veins are off, and the mucles look wierd in first person and the muscels you dont see :(
    I know, muscles are hidden most of the time, but you can see them on some custom weapon animations and when stabbing with the knife. Anyway I'm improving it. Veins will be the same size, but improved and the location and distribution changed, too. I'll see what can I do with the muscles, if I can make them a stronger look and more visible from the 90ยบ POV, without looking weird.

    The inner wrist, where the veins are is what you see the most. At least I do because I mainly use smgs and rifles. The veins are way off. Take a look at your veins, if they look like this I suggest you go to a doctor right away because that is not how veins look. I mean how they are done looks good but how they are placed is just random.
