Adding an M16: Part 2 – Geometry Rigging   4 comments

Important Note:

During the video, I mention that all weapons point down the Y axis. I was basing this knowledge off of the Shock Rifle, which turns out is coded to be rotated to be facing down the X axis like the Rocket Launcher. Your model can face down any axis in 3DS Max, but make sure that after you import it that it faces down the X axis using the Rot Origin properties. You can leave it facing in the Y axis if you want, as adjusting the rotation in the weapon’s code is also really easy to do too and I will go over how to do so in the code part of this tutorial series.
