Here’s a test material for the main body of the laser
when you rotate around it, it has a very shiny metal look
Yep OOOOOOHHHH end it with the big laser firing into the camera!!!
lol, thats exactly what i was thinking!
i just used an image texture (these ones might be good, but its not the same one i used, i cant find that one on google again)

maybe ill upload it when i get home, doin this frm skool. otherwise just brows around on google images.
i just told the texture to affect the normal value and not the colour. and them made the material mirror as well
cool laser btw, looking better everytime - i like the shiny material
do you still need a rigger?
oh definitly!! wanna join us? how experienced are you? Can i see some of the rigs you’ve done so far? can you do facial rigs?
i ve been using blender for one and a half year now. i am bad at animating, quite ok at modeling but my strong side was rigging. if somebody could provide me with models i’m happy to rig them. i will do body rigs not quite sure if i ll manage facial ones but i ll try. you need fk, ik both?
awesome, you’re in!
I’ll need your real name (preferably full) unless you are like Mr F1rst16 and wanna use some unpronounceable online name 
And sure, I’ll provide you with all the models… i hope you like naked people 
To start you off, here is one of the important characters - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?61xy43u57ofknm7 - please do the rig and try the face, otherwise I’ll do it (although ive never actually done one, I know the theory and am pretty good at learning )
oh and im no proffessional at rigging so im not too sure about the whole fk ik thing, but do whats best for a human, im sure i can tweak it afterwards
id be happy with my unpronounceable online name.
Could you send me the models with the cloths so I can add weight paints to it as well?
with what cloths? they dont have any clothes yet.
I’ve been experimenting with shape keys, and i guess i can do the facial expressions… just lip sync is a problem… maybe we can avoid it all together?
Should i model them? because it will be quite long rendering if the clothes aren t weight painted
I think lipsync should be done with a jaw bone thouger with the shape Keys never tryed this set up but i think to would work
ok sure, model them please!!! that would save a lot… with soft bodies i presume?
What kind t shit and jeans or robes, milatry?
i gave you the little kid ryt? so give him some typical kid clothes… i dunno… and i can give you some other characters later…
im not sure if ill manage the weight painting by myself. i finished the body rig and im moving on to the facial one. could i send you just the rig so you can weight paint it?
ya sure, when you’ve done the face you can send it
i had no idea how to do the nose control
You can control your nose? lol nvm… its fine, i can do that, do you want to send?
