How I Mod?

[SinbadEV]

Ok, so a while back ago I knew enough to writedocumentationon this stuff and apparently stuff has changed since then... or I write awful tutorials... one of those.

So I'm trying to make a model:


while in Wings it looks like:


and I knew enough to add an alpha that it 99% black on places I want to be my texture and 1% black where I want it be teamcolor... I even did the same thing with the alpha inverted (white where I want texture, black for team) but, In Upspring it looks like:

and



Please tell me what stupid noob mistake I'm making so I can move on?

[SinbadEV]

Ahhhh,... okay, I turned off lighting and it looks fine, probably my video card sucking

That happens when you scale up, I think it is fixed in the latest version.

I'm not sure, but I don't encounter the problem >___>

Hit the apply transform button or save and reopen the model.

[SinbadEV]

Okay I did all those things you mentioned and they didn't work... turning off lighting did.

BTW

he latest version

Thought I had that(1.5), link?

That is a different way to texture, really nice job. ^_^

I'd like to add that you should always overdraw the faces by 2-3 pixels. If you don't you'll have nasty outlines and it can be a pain to fix this later on.

[SinbadEV]

most of them are overdrawn already, because it's a 1024x1024 image scaled down it may look like a lot less... and sometimes I'm lazy.

[Snipawolf]

Well, what I do, is I select all of the perfect white, and blur it a good bit.
That way, it gradually fades off, and generally kills off the white line problem, and takes about 5 seconds to apply to any texture

A lot faster than overdrawing every single damned line, I think

[rattle]

Well I use masks anyway and simply expand them by 2 px along the way.

There's alot of wasted space on the UV map.

You should always maximise the use of the UV map's space, so scale up the pieces and arrange them so they take up at least 10% of the available space.

Not a bad effort though, keep it up.

You mean 90% right? It uses the space well, and the textures look great, not much of a reason to make it bigger.
