I can steal that for the hunter chopers mines?

[knorke]

depends, is it more chopper or more hunter?

random video of units shooting each other!
Nothing really new to see but since spawning units and having them battle kept me occupied for an hour I decided to make a gif video. (its so easy these days! Maybe I need a blog as well.)

Spring need's more Bolo tanks

[Wombat]

u make same mistake as all beginners (including me)

ingame, ur tank will look too candy. too much smoothing usually ends badly, same as using smooth on big angles (hope u know what i mean)



1 year old stuff as example ;p check front of tank, looks badly, totally doesnt remind metal.

texturese, do them...

Texture is something on me that is unavailable

[PicassoCT]

I never get it, texturing is one of the easiest thing, just timeeating, but hey the rewards..

[knorke]

I think the bad thing about texturing is not painting the textures but the uvmapping.

[PicassoCT]

select everything- planar mapping..
select everything that looks like shit, planar map from other direction
repeat until success is reached...

Planar mapping? Is this something included in wings3d?

[PicassoCT]

naw.. its 3d to the max sorry

[KaiserJ]

normally these days picasso i use unfold mapping with an angle tolerance of 0.1; gets everything nice and perfectly sized (no stretching) and then weld edges to assemble my uvmap (if you enable visible seams in your 3d view, with a little practice, this method is very easy and will yield nice results;

Especially when it got alot of faces..

[smoth]

if you set your normals properly it would not be so bad. INBEFORE SHOW ME HOW.. I already did and you never did anything with the model.

Stop making excuses and do it.

[PicassoCT]

Every Post after this until hallowee is over has to contain a zombeeing one way or another

Post all the zombies



Also, Wombat started it.

[Wombat]

hey i recognize that sir, nice texture :) (ugh, legs, looks like brokeback mountain visitor)

[bobthedinosaur]

why is it that blocky definable models look much better than detailed higher poly models?

[smoth]

I don't follow you bob... care to post examples?
