I think this is more of something that warrants a thread than a status update discussion. Maybe make a thread in Ideas and Issues?

texture mip-mapping?

Omg my bad. Yes. This. So is there a certain map distance that the textures start breaking down into lower res? Is it considered to be handled correctly by jka's engine?

I would like to know because Im trying to work with nice high res textures for pretty much the whole mod, but I would like them to scale down correctly for fps

No, the ModView source was given out with the source release.

You might have missed it but at one time ModView was being worked on so that it could display all the 3d model types for this game. I think whoever was playing with that gave up though.

Here's better Modview code. Still doesn't support all models but it has a cleaner viewport for starters. https://github.com/DT85/ModView

Lmmfao well plaid

That moment when you're looking at the code and are like...fk this, I'm starting over.

Ive been deep into modeling something at like 3am... and looked around and was like... wait... wtf am i building?

Isn't lazy mouse just a hotkey and not bound to a specific brush?

Youd think that... given it acts right for everything else lol

So i take it sculpting my whole mod and getting displacement and normals for all my models might have been for something after all.

rend2 is currently MP only.

Xycaleth is interested in working on an SP version though. We want to make all of the renderer code universally shared between MP and SP before we do that though.

Sherlock mode on: considering it's most likely TFU related, and coupling that with your need to create a shader with rust / dust over shiny (metal) parts... it could either be a construct, or Raxus Prime. Or something related to Raxus Prime. Because I don't recall much more rusty or dusted stuff in TFU aside from that cursed place.

where are an pics?

That's what she said.

I helped barricade wat shader, it's a variation of the shader I used on a bunch of my models eg the Assassins Creed weapons and my Rancor skin

wow did I jsut type "wat" instead of "with that" o-o

Lmfao. Well i think i got it looking nice.

Zbrush seemed wierd to me at first but it truly can be used to create some fascinating things easily.

I think you want alphaGen const x.y

I'm restarting my recreations, other than that, a few very good hilts and playermodels came to us. JK: Enhanced as well!

Say you import a low res object... then subdivide it while smoothing is on... then you sculpt and do your thing... well the UV coordinates on the original mesh get warped and smoothed when you smooth the mesh

So, you have to export the newly modified mesh to have the texture map be for the mesh it was intended. If you try exporting a texture and applying it to the same mesh you imported without re exporting it back out of zbrush then its normals havent been smoothed in correspondence to the UV

Export the original low poly from Max/XSI, then export the high poly from Zbrush. Then just use Xnormal to export maps.

Thank you kind sir

That should be most of it. Let me know if there are any others.

Chalklyne is back ?!

Hello gentlemen. I made dumplings

Welcome back

OMG you are Back

Lucky

A chocolate stormtrooper! How was I not aware of this?

Very nice!

Never a bad time for more GIFS.

Rofl i am so speechless for once...

Hey.............. <3

Just because you believe in some god, doesn't mean you have to be religious. I'm not a Christian, or an Atheist. I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Its like the line in Last Crusade. "Fly yes, land... no!"

Kinda like Launchpad Mcquack.

Lol

He's alive.. and in perfect hybernation

Yeah man. And reading that q3map shader manual is like...

I know that feel...

THE JEDI ARE HERE! ANAKIN, HELP ME, HALP ME!

Theyre dead. All of them. And not just the Googles, but the Yahoos and Bings too... theyre like animals... so i slaughtered them like animals

The community would be a dull place without you, Chalk

I spent a very long time on these storylines and am drafting a sort of storyboard to run by a few elite to gain feedback soon.

3 will tie in the stories of TFU 1,2, Dark Forces, and A New Hope, touching on the events leading to Operation Skyhook

Amazing

Oh, okay. I saw all those various parts, it looks very nice!

I eagerly look forward to the model pack of the many derp faces of Starkiller.

Derpkiller model pack XD
