Dont put the shiny reflection on the, uh, butt area (for lack of better terminology). Use reflection in texture 2 instead.

That would involve actually adjusting the photos in some way after pasting them on >_>

I fix'd the stagbeetle's tex, removed reflections from texture, made jaw joints look better.
Made the Dragonfly and the Ant(based on the carpenter ant, tex is still WIP)
P.S. The butt is called abdomen, and the torso is called thorax

What are all these cool insects for? modname?

Here is some of my "new" stuff:

Holy crap cool mod... too bad Spring doesn't support MD3's, since there's some good MD3 fan-made Doom stuff out there that you could probably get permissions for.

That isn't too bad - even if the models could be ported to Spring I propably would have to redo most of the stuff to fit my style. But support for .md3's would be fine for organic models (without having to use dirt tricks). We could have orcs, sandworms, dragons and rancors then!!! Think of the possibilities!

It's a sekrit
Tons of work still needs to be done...and moar bugs!
P.S. Im going to be away for 3 weeks, then i'll continue pumping out bug awesomeness
Bug ideas are welcome, currently there are about 8 more bugz on my list. Just keep it real

Flower mantis! (As pointed out to me by Panda in the off topic arthropod thread which is probably worth looking at).

The (German)Wasp(tex is WIP):

Make it entirely smooth-shaded because it's organic.

make high res textures..

He can do what he wants, low res textures make his project more readily available to lower end machines.

How about you make like a tree?

Seriously, it is better then anything you are doing.. oh wait you are not.

Eh the textures are fine.

I don't think there is any point making it higher res, because you won't see it closely anyways most of the time. It flies really fast too, and is a small bug.
Besides it already looks nice enough...

All these secret mods that are being worked on all hush like...

If you just browse through the WIP thread there are hundreds of models for mods that never even got released.

Open source development model, people. Please.

simant + entomology + spring + drugs = bug warz
FTW

Nah leave it but add specularity (green channel). And perhaps subtle environment reflections for the eyes (blue channel).

Well, this mod is gonna get done.
Still have to pump out large volumes of bugz and other stuff.
I haven't decided on the mod name yet, but it wont be a alphabet soup for sure
It IS bug warz

Yay! I always wanted to play a bug-war game!

This is gonna be so awesome with Agorm's Tree Map

Indeed.

Columbus, are you mapping the models to photographs of insects or are you painting them/copypasting stuff?
