How to make a lowrez player model??

[Anakin]

Hi,

i always find tutorials about how to make lowrez models (make a lower model and name it name_lowrez), but never a tutorial about lowrez player models.

Is there something special i need to observe about the basepose, skeleton, animation??

hi hi Anakin, you can use the same skeleton but the difference is on Envelope, when you attach points to bones, the lowrez player model wont use _clavicles, _toe, _foot, _neck, _a_spine, _b_spine, _hand.

so when you envelope lowrez player model use the next bones: ribcage, head, calf, thigh, pelvis, upperarm, forearm

all right thank you. now i understand why my lowrez look that funny

==EDIT==

what about shadow. Can we add a shadow volume to lowrez player models??

Lowrez Models do not need shadows. A unit's shadow is already been generated by its sv_ mesh.
