Good morning everyone,
Due to reasons, it's been a while since the last post due to reasons, but what better way to come back than with just a whole exclusive pre-release for you all to enjoy.
As usual the pre-release comes with the caveat that the content within is still te...
2024-11-07 03:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostG’day all,
It’s a little overdue but it’s progress report time so let's quickly recap where we’re at with things.
Last post in December was the Patron pre-release build of Phase 1 of the mil-spec AR15 project( you know, CAR15s, Vietnam-era M16s, that thing). The public...
2024-04-02 05:53:32 +0000 UTC View PostG'Day and Happy Holidays to you all.
A little treat for you all while I take a well-needed break over Christmas - the Phase 1 Milspec AR15s Pre-release build (with the intent to finish up the public release in the New Year).
So there's a couple of things to get through as notes for th...
2023-12-18 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostG'Day everyone.
It's been a little bit of an overdue post but It thought it'd be good to get everything on the same page.
So, the L4 Brens went out, to much my own relief, until I saw the next weapon set voted for by you generous patrons -
There's a lot under that banner, and to some degree it also was int...
2023-10-10 10:12:18 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone,
Time to bring everything up to date for everyone on the state of things.
Apparently I haven't done a proper one of these in a little while, so... y'know.. let's fix that.
So I cleaned these entirely at some poi...
2023-03-13 13:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostG'day all, welcome to 2023 - hope the new year is treating you all well.
Let's get right into it shall we? Bren L4.
So, where'd we leave off?.. oh, all the way back there. WELL.
One of the first things I got working on after finishing the insides of the magazine well and breech-face is adding the barrel. Easy enough. L...
G'Day all and a Happy Holidays to you all.
So, this'll likely be the last post of the year - Christmas is fast approaching and with it, time off work. There's exciting stuff on the horizon and I've gotta talk about it, so let's do.
Right, L4 Bren. We're going with the L4A3/A5 model, because...
2022-12-16 09:20:13 +0000 UTC View PostG'Day all, regular check in time.
Not a lot to show in work this fortnight, largely because I was busy with [ahem] the other project, so consider this me switching back over to the patreon side of the house again and getting ramped up.
It's been a while since I've done a check in ...
2022-11-28 12:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone,
So, here's the news- I'm deep in the making of the SCAR release video. Deep Deep. Like, the allocation for extra story, narrative and animation might have been specifically dropped, but there's still a whooole lot of work going into this, and while I don't have a finished edit to show just now, I t...
2022-10-28 12:34:06 +0000 UTC View PostG'Day all,
So, progress to report -
The remaining tasks on the SCAR release are now done. Icons, missing strings, missing variants, missing magazines (SCARL STANAG mag), that sorta thing. We're in final testing and release stage.
As we're on the lead up to the full release, which includes updates to at least Core an...
2022-09-20 07:10:59 +0000 UTC View PostAlright here we go -
Not for public distribution
Features
G'day again, I guess I'm a little late on the posting of this one, but I'll hope you'll forgive me, I managed to neatly clean up a whole task to report, on my end that makes things simpler for the now.
Anyway, let's talk shop.
So first task was figuring out the GL Situation and finishing off the FN EGLM. By figuring out , I mea...
2022-07-20 05:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostG'day erryone.
So, we're into the back 9 of texturing here, and we're pushing right through. So , let's get into it.
First, I had a bunch of .30 Cal suppressors done for the SCARs, which, had been actually sitting unbaked (not sure why). So, needing a break from doing the same old SCAR materials, I took to these instead of...
2022-06-29 06:21:33 +0000 UTC View PostG'dayy
So, we left off in animating, and two things I'd neglected suddenly came back to mind-
1- Grenade Launcher animations (AGC and EGLM)
2- Edge cases (EGLM trigger assembly making regular magazine hold impossible, 10 round magazines needing their own animations)
3-Actually doing the implementation of them
This has Taken...
G'day all
Fortnight over, got a whole bunch of stuff to talk about.
So, when I last posted, we were getting to the meaty end of texturing, and I took a break to get more technical work done - First of which was the LODs.
I started with the first Step LODs, and on my own dime I did the further compressed and le...
2022-05-13 17:14:07 +0000 UTC View PostG'day all,
Don't feel like the old format was working for me, so I'm shaking things up and trying something different- doing these in shorter form, faster.
So, here's what's been going on in the last fortnight or so-
I got to a point where I was comfortable pausing the texture work to improve the te...
2022-04-28 15:46:56 +0000 UTC View PostSo, once again I've been a little lax on the updates, But it's been a pretty hectic year. SOG Prairie Fire came out, An Update for it came out, and I'm still doing stuff for Prairie Fire, and the XM8s and the big update happened, And my computer finally got to the point where it needed replacement.. but to me mostly it's been holdups that f...
2022-04-13 15:20:40 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so I need to do a bit of housekeeping while I remember -
There is an NIArms Discord. IF you have Discord linked to your patreon account , you in theory should have been punted an invite... but the bot is also unreliable so may not have done so. If you'd like in and you don't have it linked OR the bot has not thrown you an...
2021-07-31 09:54:52 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone ,
It's been a while, but it's time to do a write up of what I've been working on. So Let's get it started.
So a fortnight back there were some technical issues that if not fixed would have set this back a few months, but it didn't so- The XM8s and Johnson M1941 L...
2021-05-25 09:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone. It's been a little overdue that I do one of these, so without further ado, let's get into it. If you'd just like to check the images of everything - you can find an album of this post's images plus some here (I'd highly recommend you do to see the images in full ...
2020-10-27 16:32:30 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone,
Time for the Sitrep, a little overdue, but that's sadly just the tempo I've been at during Early 2020. So, let's go Top-Down, instead of breaking it down by project, we're going by task, because this is the way work's been focused out of necessity.
All of it is done. It took like.. all of ...
2020-03-04 09:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, this isn't a regular full depth post, because it's holidays and even I am taking them off mostly, so I'll be quick-
We're starting 2020 on a strongpoint.
Have a safe and enjoyable rest of Holidays everyone
2019-12-29 13:19:28 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, so before I get into filing you all /recapping how the last few months have been, I kind of just want to start off by kind of borrowing into Patreon's internal branded hashtag event.. somewhat.. and take the opportunity to thank you, all of you, for being patrons. Not that I haven't said before, but you've allowed me to do a hell o...

Running a bit late this month with the report, but some exciting things are happening that I wanted to be 100% were sure things before I start running my mouth. Without any further ado, let's start getting everything up to speed.
Starting off, drum roll
Starting off with the family of ...
2019-08-31 05:52:53 +0000 UTC View PostG'Day everyone, time for another progress report. Got a fair bit of ground to cover, so let's start with the area that's not got any images to show off - The Johnson LMG.
Since last report, nothing's been done on the M1941. It's awaiting UV mapping, but I'm not starting that yet because I have stuff that I need to knock more polys into, an...
2019-07-01 12:41:20 +0000 UTC View PostApparently Arma's getting Alliums, which is great because I've always wanted Garlic Bread in my MilSim.
Jokes aside, getting back into the old polygon crafting rhythm after a few months doing nothing but patching, time to put the cards on the table and show the hand I'm working with.
As of last week, we...
2019-05-27 05:54:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, hooboy has it been a while, and you probably are wondering what exactly the hell I've been up to.
Short answer, since Jan 1, it's been 100% work on patching the entire of the NIArms . 5-6 days a week, for 3 months. Why? because it's been basically a year since any of them had some love, and there's important under...

Ahoy there,
Well it took a week longer than anticipated, but we're finally here- C96 Preview Build.
Now, as a disclaimer this isn't the final build, there's a couple things still needing some touch up work (like having the stocked pistols stowed when holstered,) and I need to at least see if I can work on an internal-magazine-u...

As a little extra, an additional thanks I must extend to Blutze, Robalo, and the Codekeepers of the Github. I don't get many chances to sing their praises but they've been by FAR outstandingly tolerant of my terribly formatted chicken scrap code, amongst other...
