extract the sounds folder and start looking you can look at my mod for the screaming sun from rick and morty to get an idea of where to look

All gamejam folders are deleted except the textures gamejam folder

So I found this a while ago and didnt think much of it but with Todd Howard saying there are still secrets in the game I figure I'll let this one out. This can be found in the extracted files under textures/gamejam. Its found among other simple textures being a poster, load map, jet pack, synths and a sand texture. This Future worm texture is a 2k texture so its obviously something that was important. I cant find any other gamejam folders and looking through the code one of the whales references an explosion effect in a gamejam folder in the meshes folder which isnt there any more so I'm thinking they just forgot to delete this gamejam folder in the textures. As for the whale, I did some looking around in the assetts and there are 2 models for the whale and then there is the same model used for a dolphin. Im thinking in an update it would be possible to overwrite the "whale" now with a larger whale if that's what people are looking for all while keeping the mutated dolphins in the game with out any one noticing the nif switch. just a thought What do you guys think. http://i.imgur.com/nAUIY0Y.jpg

Id love to make an Atlas from Titanfall maybe one day

yeah, I've tried to use the ZModeler in zbrush but I just dont think its worth learning. I was super excited but not being able to easily add modifiers like the ffd or a proper bend deformer was a killer for me. I absolutely LOVE learning new software and new methods but that was just way too time consuming for something that I should be able to do in seconds. As for texturing, I would suggest only using photoshop for the first few months. I say this not so much as a texturing exercise but as a UV exercise. (what do you mean?) - forcing yourself to texture 2D will make you think of the projects future. as you model you will think of proper edge flow and where the best place to cut your seams will be to get the most out of your UV space. it will also teach you proper UVing. instead of just doing an auto map and being able to just paint right over your seams you'll be forced to, again, make more technical minded decisions and fill your uv space properly rather than having fractured uv islands just splatted in your 0-1 space. maybe that's just me, learn the hard way first so you have a better understanding and if I go to a studio that doesnt have substance or zbrush they will almost always at least have photoshop or another photo editor like it. as for substance designer, that is more for tiling textures and its a lot more technical. its just a shiiiiit load of nodes strewn together. Im into that but idk how you feel about node based scripting and editing

For starting out I would suggest Max for modeling Zbrush for sculpting Maya for animating Photoshop for Texturing Xnormal for baking Unity as engine of choice Those are the most user friendly weapons of choice for those uses in my opinion. Yes, max can rig and animate but it is a pain in the ass compared to maya believe me. Another reason I suggest you start with those is because you more than likely arent going to break into a large studio that will have the money for Substance Painter/Designer, DDO, Knald . . . I suggest starting out in unity because it is such a user friendly engine and there are years upon years of documentation and there are a s#*! load of people that are willing to help. Though Unreal has technically been out for a while it has made a huge shift from 3 to 4 and though it has a lot of technical doccumentation it honestly is very artist friendly in my eyes. The only thing Unreal has over unity is that it has node based scripting built in but you can download packages for unity that do the same thing in a much friendlier way. I started with UDK years ago and moved into 4 once it came out but lately Ive been fiding myself using unity more and more get Unity and get your hands on Shader forge and Playmaker once you are ready to start implementing start making games :D

yeah same here

when UVing you need to try to use as much space in the 0-1 as possible to get the most resolution out of your maps but you want to keep the texel density consonant here is a quick image showing my M4 body and mag, highlighted in yellow are the most useful tools when UVing. If I have time later I'll explain upon what I mean in the statement above. http://i.imgur.com/fxfB3UP.jpg

posted the mod here http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9541/?

this what your looking for :D worked the on my first shot, just gotta switch up the sounds and damage http://i.imgur.com/gpPFn0B.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/VHIN7EI.jpg

hey guys, just saw this being bumped I told Wildsamich already but I figured I'd let everyone know I uploaded it to the bottom of my mods page on my website, I will be making an actual mod for the nexus later tonight so if you dont want to make a file path for it yourself just hang in there you can get to my site by clicking "personal work" below and heading over to my FO4 mods page

I know its doable, Ive done it with my swordsplosion mod maybe I'll dabble with it this weekend if I have time

that's too funny, I just made a wearable deathclaw head and yao guai head Wearable Yao Guai Head Wearable Deathclaw Head

yeah, you can get meshes in using the 3ds max plugin to export a FO4 nif then use nifskope to do what you need to do to get it working and bring it into the game. I've gotten both armor and weapons in but if you want anything special you'll need to script it yourself or wait for the CK

yeah, I install all of my mods into a folder labeled "xxdeathknight72xxMODS" for convenience on both ends as for the art work, I sometimes add a little something just incase there is any discrepancy
