Has anybody got a chainsaw model I can use? Please?

Heck, the only chainsaw models I can find cost like, 45 bucks or more. No one has a freebies out there. I'll poke around some more.

Thanks. I found one for $25 but I'm trying not to waste any money (it's even more in $AU).

Well I made a quick one up in trueSpace 3.2 just now. Took me less than an hour with distractions. I thought it would be a good challenge for me to see how fast I could make a good low polygon chainsaw. The total polygon count is 248 triangles. Its a direct x file. No texture applied. It is currently cube UV mapped but I couldnt get it(the uv map) to look right, in gameSpace Light. The rotaion might be screwed up because it was made in trueSpace/gameSpace. I hope this is what you need!

Edit: I am sorry if it is blocky in some areas, I was trying to complete it too fast and forgot to smooth out the edges. If you would like I can upload the untriangulated file I have saved on my computer if you wish to mod it.

maker of games, i would be willing to also make a chainsaw but i dont want to under rate your work so am asking you if you would mind me atempting it aswel, i dont want to offend anyone if i say here you are after you put all the effort in, and also if its better than yours wich i dont know as i havnt made it yet i just dont want to offend you so am asking your permission

You have my full permission! I do not mind if you try to make one as well and no offense taken. I probably put a total of twenty minutes into my chainsaw. If yours is better than mine, very well done! I just thought I would give it a shot. It was mostly a small "project" to see if I could even make a chainsaw without much time and tweaking.

Also, thank you for telling me that you want to make one as well. Its good communication like that, that keeps us on eachothers good sides.

*I dont know if you are reading my game thread (in general discussions) but I really used the attempt as a distraction from working on my game. I surf these forums and side track myself since I am currently in a ruff spot on development. I should get back to working on my game now.

Good luck with your chainsaw!

thats cool well i will atempt at it in a few days, im in the middle of making a sword, as soon as thats done i will see what i can do

heres mine, bit higher polly count due to the two handles of a total of 570, probably is a bit too high polly but up 2 u if u want to use it. its in ms3d format.

well i would but now its saying i cant load the file type up and im tierd as its gone 2 in the morning ill try getting it up tomorow.

You'll probably have to zip it.

Thanks! If I could just be able to UV map objects I would have been able to texture my chainsaw too! However, since I already have gone out of my way and made it I should really get back to making stuff for my game instead. I am sorry I cannot help any furthur. I have to start school again late this August so I need to focus on my project and get as much as possible done before then!

As I have stated before, I can upload the basic nontriangulated mesh if anyone wants that to modify. If anyone does want it just let me know what file type you want it in. I will try my best to convert it and get it here asap.

well me being the stupid guy i posted the chainsaw under a different post by acident so i have not removed it i have just alterd it slightely and now posting the pic here

Whoa, thanks a lot guys, especially you MoG, you didn't have to do that! I'll probably use the other models, but I might give yours a look. It's nice to know a gave you something to do for twenty minutes. I can't wait to get home (at school right now) and use them all. I probably won't be on for a while, I'm going on holidays for a week.

Thanks a lot everybody!

scott, it looks great!!

MoG, I'd like your model in ms3d format, if possible!!
