Readme.1st The Interview [Boggy B]: How long have you been Modeling? [Oddjob]:Since last March. Before that I knew nothing of the subject. [BB]: So did you do any Quake 1 models then? [OJ]: Nope. I don't even own Quake 1. [BB]: {in shock}, Surely not! [OJ]: No. Actually I was playing Superheros 2 mod for Q2 and I got the idea to make a Green Goblin model. So I took the male model and added his glider to it. That was back in March. Oddjob was my third attempt. [BB]:What was the 2nd? [OJ]:Dr. Doom. I did that as a trade for some software, then started Oddjob. [BB]: Is Quake 2 the only game you've modelled for? [OJ]: No I have been working on AHL for a while now. [BB]:What software do you use for modelling, 3D studio Max...? [OJ]:3dsmax for Dr Doom, Velvet Jackson, Oddjob and the Half Life stuff of course. But I did M on Maya. [BB]:For HL are you just doing the player models, or are you branching out into Weapons, items etc? [OJ]:No for now, just player models. And all the new animations that Action Half Life requires. [BB]:Any chance of any Sneak Previews of the models? [OJ]: I'll have to ask Suislide, but probably. Suislide likes to keep things hush hush. [Model Pictures at The Bottom!] [BB]:yeah I can understand that.. :) [OJ]:He started as an AQ only model but I added regular vwep and he was released about a month before he came out in the Aq2 model pak [BB]:I was gonna ask you what has influenced you, but I'm guessing 007? [OJ]:Yup. I have been a fan since I was 10 years old. Of the books more than the movies. [BB]:Ahh yes, Ian Flemming... [OJ]:I named my son after him. Ian that is. [BB]:Not James :) [OJ]:Nope. He is more of an Ian. [BB]:What is your favourite model out on AQ...? [OJ]:SAS, but it's becomming over used. I wish there was some way
to get AQ2 vwep for the McLaine model. That is a great model. Some
people don't like the run animation, but I think the author nailed
Willis' run. [BB]:What would be your favourite Map for Aq? [OJ]:I really like the new Lighthouse map. But my favorite map would probably have to be Urban. [BB]:Ahh, I haven't seen Lighthouse, I'd prolly go for Armyterr meself. [OJ]:I like that one as well. Except for when I fall in the damn pit. ...After that point, I had to go to dinner
which I was decidedly unhappy about, perhaps it's one of the things
I'll have to get used to as I try to bridge the gap known only as the
Atlantic. I had a great time talking to Oddjob and I think we both survived
my first interview intact :) |
