    How strange. Now that I'm on another computer, Gmax seems to export tags fine using tag_name. I'm almost sure that's the only thing that changed. Oh well. I didn't wanna use blender, because it's such a radically different UI and it doesn't install my exporter, but no need to worry about that unless I ever need to use it Also, DT, Noesis didn't seem to have tag support, so that wouldn't get me where I needed, I think.

    I use the same exporter. Could you check if it registers tags named flash and parent? I'm unsure about the correct prefix (could be *parent or tag_parent or just parent for all I know), but those tags are needed for weapons.

    Oh man, did you guys go 2 years without the sounds working? Added JA compatible version to the download with sounds fixed.

    Turns out the sounds weren't working in JA - updated description and uploaded JA compatible version. Please redownload for full immersion!

    I see. Any suggestions for what I could use to export with tags? The exporter for Gmax doesn't support it either. Is blender the only option? It would take some time to learn. Also, it gave some script/code error when trying to choose "Enable addon" that kind of scared me away from it for now. What do people usually use when making new weapons, or sabers even?

    I don't know what's causing it, but my tags aren't recognized as tags. Have tried naming them with a number of prefixes, like *parent, tag_parent, parent, based on different sources, and no change when taking tags from imported weapons. In MD3-/ModView it displays as normal surfaces rather than tags. I don't know if going via Noesis affects this, or what really determines that it's a *tag*. Any ideas?
  7. Boothand
    Yeah I suppose. Noesis loads and exports it correctly.

    Ah, thought I had linked it Here it is, and the texture if desirable.

    I notice that all of the models I've exported using this exporter, gives me a set of errors when loaded in MD3View - here's from one of my md3s: Other md3s I've exported give similar errors, however only this one has needed to be loaded into MD3View. It happens no matter if I export tags or not. Flashlight is only one mesh and has UVW Unwrap. Also happens with mrwonko's MD3View. @@DT85? @@mrwonko?

    Yes that's what I meant. The logical thing as I see it would be to open that .max file, then importing the mesh, not the other way. But seems like you've found your way. Vertices is the plural of vertex - a face or a polygon consists of 3 or more vertices. A vertex is a single point that each line of geometry is drawn from, going to another vertex, forming a polygon. In the Skin modifier, you're able to check off "Select vertices", so that they become visible. It's the little dots. Alt + X will make your model transparent, if that's what you mean. You can be in any view. Weighting isn't easy to get right without tutorials, and even so it's hard to get right if the model isn't well constructed for correct deformation (my models are bad examples.. )
  11. Boothand
    Also, doing it this way may prove to be hard. The reason why it's recommended to weight your model in one entire piece before segmenting it, is because all the basic body parts need the same weights to move in harmony when deformed by the skeleton. Say, if the rradius bone has an effect of 0.5 on one of the top vertices of the hand, and you have a separate limb where the corresponding bottom vertex would have an effect of 0.8, they would move apart when deformed. I don't recall however if I tried doing it this way, and checking off the option to merge identical vertices on compile. It might change the outcome, however I don't know, and even so I'd expect better results from doing the skinning on the entire piece, then segmenting. As for why you can't see the bones in the list, I don't know. Are they in the regular object list (pressing H)? Also try on a new completely unaltered download of the .max skeleton.

    Hah, it reminds me of The Protectors of Tomorrow. If not for the different animating style, I'd almost suspect the same people to be behind it.

    Actually I kind of enjoy having reviews in the description, the way it was done on JK2files. It was part of the joy of having your files approved, to get a review that everyone would see. Although I see how the "review" section is meant for that, but it feels more like an ordinary comment field to me. Sorry for offtopicing!

    The animation feature sounds really cool! That would probably be invaluable to the movie makers. Could it eventually be used to for example write custom saber animations and saving them?
  15. Boothand
    Cool. How did you fix it? Hmm it doesn't reflect in straight angles though, or how to put it, if you look at the right tree and statue.
  16. Boothand
    Mine was already set to 0.04 (assume you meant that). Are you sure you didn't do something else to fix it?

    It works in both games. For some reason it always looks dark and flat without highlights on its frontside in-game. If I ever get it fixed, I'll update it.

    Haven't used a two-sided material, and normals look fine in 3DS Max. I don't think the exporter would export a two-sided material in any case. The model also looks proper in ModView of course. Link to try: https://jkhub.org/files/file/1877-horseton-legged/

    You come home, finding footprints all over the floors and walls, all the plates in the kitchen closet are tumbled over, the table upside down and a trail of food leading to the refridgerator... and you're met with that smile.

    Over the water surface, once right above, once higher up in the air. Might have been small differences, but same thing essentially happened. It's on dropbox if you wanna try.
  21. Boothand
    Using a misc_cubemap in my map, with cube mapping enabled in rend2, causes this to happen (with and without a specular stage):
  22. Boothand
    I have submitted the model here, so soon when it's approved you could try, although I don't think it's a "bug".

    More information about "Horseton Legged"

    293 downloads

    Horseton Legged is a fictional character from the future Journey to Bootland campaign. He's the sidekick of the powerful jedi duck, and is the only one in the super duo that can actually speak, thus complicating communication just a bit. It's my second player model, following the same theme. Not without flaws, but it was time to finish and release this anyhow! UPDATE: Due to differences in path setup in sounds.cfg, sounds weren't working and a JA version was added to the download. If you downloaded this for JA, please re-download!

    Both + JK2.

    I'm done with my horse model, and the only thing remaining is to find out what's behind this issue. When turning around, the back of the horse receives light and shades as it should, however the front remains unaffected in all circumstances, and appears very flat shaded. This is unfortunate for the face part especially, since it has a lot of unison color-ish. Kyle and other models get light as they should. Doesn't seem to be about shaders. Any ideas?
