If there're any modellers here who could modify the snark model to look like a Snark standing up on it's back legs and holding a flag with it's front legs, that would look brilliant.

something like this?

or this

the hat is courtesy of paint shop

www.quantum-physics.co.uk/files/models/texas_snark.zip

it's an hl1 model, which means replacing the flag with any other 8bit 256x128 .bmp in jeds model viewer is childsplay.

FISHY thats awesome man.. I love it. I spit coke all over my keyboard from the burst of laughter.

Its a Model sweet, that means we have a model we can get the wire frame from and use on the t-shirts. AWESOME!

I hope we can use the little snarks with flags under our names or on our profiles.

You know what always bothered me most about the snark? The damned thing could inflict so much damage, yet had no obvious means of doing so. Look at the big pic displayed here in this thread. It has a cyclops eye and tiny feets, but nothing offensive in the way of weaponry.

Maybe it had some "Quantum" toenails and clawed you really fast.

ahem, sorry, truly lame.

[EDIT] @Fish.. *whispers* Its "Longhorn" not "Bighorn"

Longhorns are cows, Bighorns are sheep. No self respecting Texan would dare wear a hat that said "Bighorn's" smiley

ho ho ho.. A random sampling from ~190 country flags. Auto generated as necessary <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

There's a hi-poly snark in the High Def pack. It's available on the net, or I can send it to anyone who wants it. If anyone makes another flag bearing snark, I'll redo the images.

sadly it loses something without being animated.

it needs a flag like Mikee's old avatar. One flapping in the breeze.

I agree. It needs a Flapping Flag. But were on the right track.

I'm pretty sure the snark has some teeth. In HL 1 I seem to remember that the idle animation is when you try to pet it/poke it it struggles and attempts to bite you.

Didn't the original box have that image on it? I am unsure now, since its been ages, but I have seen that particular snark screen someplace before..

Who knows, maybe lep took dozens of screens while being eaten by them till he got one he liked. smiley

It's from the High Definition model Pak that was released with Half Life: Blue Shift.

k, i downloaded the HD pack and played around a little with the v_model, which is the one with a decent beak.

I would like to move that The Snarkpit be declared an independent nation, and should also be represented at the UN.

Edit: Sorry about the filesize, and ignore that little bit of the bottom-center flag that's been chewed off. Snarks got hungry.

Is there any way we can get these Snark models (with/without flags) working in Half-Life 2?!

it's only a matter of converting the bmp to a vtf, and changing a few lines in the .qc file to get a static hl2 model. if animating for hl2 is the same as for hl1, then i could probably get the flag waving about.

getting it to run around doing snark stuff is another matter, though.
