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.

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

What is he talking about at 10:52?! I plan on doing exactly that?

I believe he's talking about real time optimization think of it as reverse tessalation vs. discrete LOD (like in JA) where the models are swapped and don't require as much CPU or RAM (at least in 1996). With Quake 3 they were restricted by the vertex animation system, every player model has its animations baked into the md3 as opposed to using a universal animation file, which would've been another hurdle.

Ahh i see. I thought it was pertaining to us

Stars aren't far, we are... The stars are right there, we're way the hell over here. Barricade... I just don't know

why stars are so there

Because people are here? duh. If people were there, stars would be out here. It's a catch 23

I see... I was going to create my own Starkiller costume for the event but it seemed someone had already 3d printed a TFU face. He looked great... but all he kept saying was ghoul2 transform error so it was a little lackluster to everyone's experience.

Tch, a pity... I would have unleashed my Spoder, to get you all in the right mood for the Halloween Contest.

Lmao.

My name is DT85

Oops! My name is Barricade.

My name is Gray.

I must have missed that part, lol

Lol ya, that was good.

Haha that thread was a genius idea Chalk!

Well we only pay for a limited amount of viewers of this site at one time, and when that limit is reached, people waiting "in line" get an error page.

It's a good problem to have!

Indeed! I was very surprised!

you mean people don't just mod the game, but play it too?

He's never played it.

When it gets too overwhelming, use undying mode.

use the force

lol it should be working?

Inbox probably full?

try now

Cut off 1 head... and 2 shall take it's place!

Sorry about that. He's supposed to be dead.

*knocks him in the head with a shovel*

*drags the body into the AdminCP*

Nothing to see here.

animals

HAHAHA oh wow. I'm dying.

I'm pretty sure Bob would do something exactly like this the SECOND you let him out of your CP fortress...

GOOD

I had "keep motion bone" checked in assimilate I guess thats what did it

You need to keep the motion bone though.

yeah I don't know. It shows up in modview? It's a custom skele obviously

Dont really "bring it" though i was just playing =) "dont get cocky kid"

The only 'backup' I have is dropbox. I really should have a local backup like I used to 10 years ago with CD-RW + InCD

Well, even if you reformate the disk, you can still save the data with certain programs even after you've deleted it, but it doesn't always work.. I use Dropbox also and for studying projects and homeworks Google Drive.

It?

I never played TFU, so I duno if this was ingame or not, this is my guess.. https://img.neoseeker.com/ca/star_wars_the_force_unleashed_conceptart_SWM9O.jpg

yeah ive taken a few hacks at him. The good ol Bull Rancor. Ill most likely model him next time i feel like breaking into some zspheres

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

I know that feel...

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

Kinda like Launchpad Mcquack.

Lol

He's alive.. and in perfect hybernation

Thank you kind sir

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

Chalklyne is back ?!

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.

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?

Lol were you watching some kind of VH1 behind the music thingie? XD

nope... shes just always on the mind. world started taking a shitter once she passed. if i had 3 wishes id bring lefteye back... make god host saturday night live... and control electrical things with my brain

no idea who she was though

There are little gems that were forgotten in time.

I bet Bob_Bergen would love some of those likes...

Low blow man. RIP bob

Is the final name for 'bolt_r_hand' '*r_hand'?

Using 'bolt_' only works for running things through carcass

Yeah it was the _humanoid thing. Weirdest thing. Thanks Ashura

wut?

yes

Ramen noodles.

any plans?

Happy bday, Chalk.

Happy 'break from the womb' day!
