I'm in the midst of adding a cannon to the arm of Megatron from the now dead MOTA Transformers Universe. The model is fine on it's own, but him without his gun leaves him quite "naked". I'm adding the cannon from War for Cybertron, but I'm having some problems getting it right. Any help would be greatly appeciated. I'm also willing to hand it out should I royally screw it up. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t587/James_Cheamitru/MegatronCannonpreview_zpsd0e48fe9.png

As of now, I just decided on a new plan on my model, and he is currently finished. Will be a while before I make him public in the Workshop

I'm getting a model of a scifi gun to the SFM workshop, but when I try to upload it, it says "we cannot detect material in mod path materials/models/Optimus_Prime_Weapon_Pack/WEP_OptimusRifle_TEXTSET_Colors.vtf". The odd part is that the file is in fact in the mod path, but it can't find it for some reason. Same issue with another model, but the file it's looking for really isn't there. Any way to fix this, I would like to upload stuff into the workshop.

Update: I am trying my hand at animating again. Been trying to make a teaser, but I am currently having trouble getting items to lock on a model with the puppet script active and the biped simple rigged. I also got lost when setting up another shot with a 2nd camera.

In a nutshell, I'm coping with animating on a crappy laptop, doing teaser posters, and writing out the story and the concepts. Though a co-writer or two would be useful as well.

You're more likely to have more support if you show previous examples of your specialties. Whether they be lighting, rigging, modeling, texturing, animating, or musical composition, it's best to show previous experience.

I've had my experiences with SFM, but it's nothing to gawk about: http://maddogsamureye.deviantart.com/ Problem is that my laptop is utter crap for animations, but not for posters. I've also done some basic model porting with one model, but it's Sci-fi and mostly for another project of mine(though I do wish I could get someone to help with these): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=310337304&searchtext= Don't worry, I do plan to release a couple more related to the model. The most I can do with this setup at this point is make good posters, get good poster requests, and write up the story, plot, concept, etc.

After having a look at the recent Pacific Rim Model (not released in SFM due to how MASSIVE he is), I've been on the fence of either replacing the Evas, or to work both of them in the story somehow. I definetely need a co-writer for this.

Really great for a first timer. Amazing things happen when you have time on your hands.

Love it! Had me chuckling at the exploding car bit.

I know i'm already helping you with another project, but can i help with this as well?

You could help, but the reapons why this is on hold is because it's old. Not to mention that the requested models for the project have yet to be made. I DO have one idea though that involves Megatron fighting hordes of Grey Mann's giant boss robots. Might as well try that while I'm fixing the issues for the Moonlight Sword and the map for the "Trials of the Soul Arts" teaser.
