AshuraDX

Haven't exported to GLM to see in ModView, as far as I know @@AshuraDX has only exported a static model which is probably a MD3 model.

nope glm , weighted to Jose carlos Throwable stuff asset skeleton  , and @@Xycaleth it looks perfect in modview , would oyu like to have the mesh to take a look at it yourself ?

in Photoshop I'd have done this using a seperate masked layer , Gimp can do that too and this is pretty useful if you wanted to blend 2 textures together aswell as you can allways change the way the 2 textures blend by editing the layer mask

The Normal maps display correctly in every program I looked at them sofar aswell as the mesh normals, the only thing thats off is the strange lighting bug which only appears in Jedi Academys multiplayer, base JA and OpenJk, while it's lit correctly in Jedi Academys Singleplayer. So I guess there must be a difference in how the renderer renders models in jasp & jamp

@@Xycaleth yep, otherwise it wouldn't render correctly in Substance and jasp

@@OmarFW yup everything up to date

soooooo do you plan to create a highpoly mesh to bake Normal maps from or will you take the route I took with mini's AT-ST ?

Some more testing revealed that my static model is shaded correctly in base JA SP while the wierd "lit from back only" issue appears in base JA MP aswell

really strange

@@DT85 @@Xycaleth Thanks but sadly the Lighting problems still persists :

-normal maps don't react to dynamic lightsources (could also just not have been implemented yet)

-the model is only lit from one side , it's probably some wierd exporter issue again though but I don't know what could cause something like this

Any ideas @@Psyk0Sith ?

@@Xycaleth a Geforce GTX460 - it should actually support GL3.2

so far all maps I tested except, Rift, worked fine

Nice !

ah okay , too bad

shoutout to some people who might be able to help here : @@eezstreet @@Xycaleth @@DT85

Rend2 is giving me some funky results :

textures/models/atst/st_m
{
	q3map_nolightmap
    {
        map textures/models/atst/gray
        rgbGen vertexLit
    }
    {
	stage normalparallaxmap
        map  textures/models/atst/st_n
    }
    {
	stage specularMap
        map textures/models/atst/st_s
	specularReflectance 0.25
	gloss 0.1
    }
}

Ingame :

This second shader , appears to work as it should ingame but sadly it looks like the model is allways lit from the same side , as If I baked a lightmap and put that on the model

textures/models/atst/st_c
{
	q3map_nolightmap
    {
	stage diffuseMap
        map textures/models/atst/gray
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ZERO
        rgbGen lightingDiffuse
    }
    {
	stage normalparallaxmap
        map  textures/models/atst/st_n
    }
    {
	stage specularMap
        map textures/models/atst/st_s
	specularReflectance 0.25
	gloss 0.1
    }
}

As you can see it's allways only the back side of the model that is lit , I tried r_forcesun 2 and it had absolutely no effect on the model

EDIT : the lighting issue also appears with the vanilla renderer - no clue what's going wrong here

Wat.

Funny , happened whn I loaded the Rift ffa map in MP

any clues ? I'll provide anything you might need to troubleshoot

An idea that came up during my chat with @@minilogoguy18 a few minutes ago

we were able to do that on good ol' jk3files (Rest in Peace) so probably it'S something we could try

The External content thing is nice but it's not really the same

Holy Mother of God! That's awesome :OOOOO

Can we see screenshot how does it look like in game?

I could get a static version of the mesh ingame , but you'll have to wait for mini to see the actual animated model ingame

@@Archangel35757 - I might just do that , didn't really spend a lot of time on the frosty version

I do it similar to crimsonstrife, start with a single quad on the bridge of the nose and extrude out the model from there, the face takes the most time, after that the torso, the rest comes quickly after that.

that's the way I usually start aswell

Hard to tell on my cell... but looks like the Hoth variant needs more "frosting"

It has some snow and ice crystal forming around all edges and in cavitys aswell as all over the surface , the image doesn't show it too well I guess

My work here is done , now it's @@minilogoguy18's turn to get those sweet animations done

show me your seam , and the mesh before mirroring

probably I can help you fix it

@@Boothand STOP before you go ahead and start over , check the autobackup folder for a backup of your scene

Possible Base replacement Skin Candidate :

Screengrab from dDo's model viewer. I'd call this version of the textures done - upcoming :

-Snowy

-Mossy

-Heavy Dirt & Rust

@@Archangel35757 I'M working in dDo so the AO map is a seperate input which I can easily swap out and adjust anytime so I dont really lose any progress just need to do a new production render in dDo everytime I switch out the AO and Material map whch is a little Time Consuming

but absolutely not the end of the world

LARGE IMAGES AHEAD

still has some issues with the AO Bake , but I got allmost everything sorted out AAAAAND I crammed the wire UV's inbetween the AT-ST Uv's so this whole thing runs on a single 2k map for now

I also have to work at the material sepperation - so far most of the bolts and plates are assigned to the same material group in dDo which I dont like , so I'll have to split the material groups further

This is, a downscaled, version of my Material map - each color belongs to a specific material

Once I'm done with this there will be various gray pieces scattered all over the orange areas here

each of these representing a bolt or small plate
