**Description:
--------------

Bug inspired by Warrior Bugs from the famed movie StarShip Troopers, here how it came to being:

Apparenty the arachnids from a far off distant planet have discovered
how to pick up weapons and shoot making the War against Bugs versus Human Kind all that more violent and ruthless. You are now pitted against an even more ferocious alien foe........."Do you wanna live forever?!!"


**Acknowledgements:
-------------------

Paul: Bug is a team effert. I'd go "nuts" if I did this all by myself:)

"Must" thank Redlemons for doing the hard work of 3 Bug skinners and giving it life, very appreciated..........thank god somebody did it, and very well:)

Must thank all those who critiqued and helped me at my pimp'n post at the messageboards at polycount.com

Redlemons: id Software and polycount (the usual). Paul for having faith in me and giving me the chance to skin the Bug, everyone who commented/critiqued the skins and Nick Cave for providing inspiration.


**Construction:
---------------

Bug was Modeled in MilkShape by process of Box Modeling. It was then UV Mapped in Lithium UV Mapper, and then animated in gMax.

Templates for skinning where exported from Lithium UV Mapper.

The key to exporting MD3 files from gMax is to copy all the plugins from Tempest (gMax associated software) and placing those plugins into the gMax plugins folder. You now have a MD3 importer/exporter for the gMax animation system.

Read the tutorials made for Pop'n Fresh to then determine how to export Q3 Player Models.

The sounds came from the internet. I'm assuming the source was the movie "StarShip Troopers"...........keep in mind this model is free and for non commercial use:)

That's it. Hope you enjoy, thanks.............
