//sorry, my English not good// Earlier I did not play TA online. Experience is not present. I and my friend played today TA on the Internet (by IP).

is the complete installer of GIMP really only 7MB ?

Hi Maestro
Is free and small program for pictures and textures. Can make many things
http://www.photofiltre.com/

I think, mainly... it's that newbies use crappy tools. They're using pirated versions of 3DS 5.x or whatever, which had really terrible uvmapping tools. Go get Uvmapper Classic. It's free. It doesn't suck. It's easy to use. And it has instructions! I am getting veeeeeeeery tired of repeating myself...

Yes, of course. This program good only for low-poly models

jcnossen wrote:Uhm, what are you trying to point out?
It's no UV-mapping that you are doing either, its probably planar mapping.

In this program not need think. UV-mapping or Planar mapping
or something else..
You import 3d model and begin texturing.
Very easy !
------------------
Import: 3ds
Export: 3ds and obj

// Warning! Big file! //

Texturing 3d model in program "Google SketchUp",
this not work, this pleasure

Good work jcnossen!
Thank you !

Import BVH - all right !
Rename objects this not problem, don't think about this.

If will be can make also,
Import BOS and export this file to BVH.......this mean:
TA units have road to > 3DMax=SupCom !

jcnossen wrote:...However I intent to support BVH and supcom animation so that should give more options...

Thank you, dear jcnossen

nice, nice words

... I didn't know there was such a universal format... Yes, "BVH" this universal animation format. Can take animation from one program, and give to anather (3DMax, MotionBuilder, Poser, Cinema4D, and so on.....) If UpSpring make animation with frames, and also will be can andestand "...

Only for Maestro.
Exuse me, for me dificalte say (you know my English),
therefore I try show:

maestro wrote:hi how to do that ? (doing animation in upspring)

Maestro you kill me ! What a question ?
You should teach us, as it to do !
I know nothing

I tryed first time make animation. It work !!
Nice tool !

-----
I think will be very good and important, if also make
for UpSpring, converter for universal animation format BVH

jcnossen please, continue work !
This program very important !
Only with it - we shall be happy

Question:
UpSpring can export models WITH textures,
to "3ds" or "obj" format ?

maestro wrote:...Gonna write it in my next Upspring tutorial

Yes Maestro, please. You good teacher and writer ! We all wait !

"UpSpring" - last version, great tool !
Is also animation ! Excellent !
---------
But how all this work, I don't know.
Please, somebody can say me,
where I can find tutorial ?

No any secrets. This simple show-hide method. For me was simply interesting to try apply this method - in "3D Builder". And, to the surprise, I have seen very clean picture, with good animation. "3D Builder" with ease has accepted this method ! But in Spring game not so. At once ...

I tryed take Unit (with animation, 20 frames) - from "3DMax 7"
and put in "3D Builder"



All right, not problem.
----
But in "Spring" not so good.
He shivers (FPS about 70)

Thank you guys
