    DT's Stormtrooper

    in Unleashed Models, Textures, and Sound

    Posted

    I'll put any further updates on my Stormtrooper here.

     

     

    Now does anyone know if it's possible to use a specular texture to mask certain areas from using this shiny shader?

     

    models/players/DT_stormtrooper/armor_d
{	  
	q3map_nolightmap
	q3map_onlyvertexlighting
    {
        map models/players/DT_stormtrooper/armor_d.jpg
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ZERO
        rgbGen lightingDiffuse
    }
    {
        map models/players/DT_stormtrooper/Gloss
        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_SRC_COLOR
        tcGen environment
        blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE
        detail
        alphaGen lightingSpecular
    }
}

     

    P.S I stole this from that Hapslash Improved Stormtrooper v2. :P

    Yeah, I read through that Appleby doc to make sure I had everything correct. I added a mesh_root to begin with, and removing it changed nothing. Must be different for Max.

    I thought about using multiple scenes, but I decided to use layers off the bat to keep everything neat.

     

     

     

    Thanks for the help guys, I combed the scene again after I finally got some sleep and I fixed it. I had the r_leg named as another l_leg. Loads up and switches fine in Modview now. Doesn't matter how much you learn, you can still trip up on the simplest of things. :P

    Me too, which is why after looking at Hapslash's Stormtrooper I decided to try harder to get my own to a lower tri count. He did great (and certainly kicked Raven's ass), but there are a few little things that aren't very accurate and it's the ANH armor. The one I made is ROTJ armor and is as accurate as I could make from the refs I had.

     

    Now I just need to try and squeeze a little more tri's out of LOD0 and make some extras.  :P

    The final count for that is 7,088 tris which is still too high and that's with no extras. I'd have to do some serious LODing to make it remotely useable.

     

     

    EDIT:

     

    Ok I can't get it any lower than 6,620 tris without a full redo. I have however made LOD1 at around 4,500 tris. Chalk, it's upto you whether you want to use mine or Hapslash's Stormtrooper. :)

    Hell I dunno. Someone contact him see if I can remake it? If not screw it we can start one from scratch. I'd like to anyways. Much like the TIE fighter, I'd like to have my own version of a ST as well. If I did that... couldn't I add things like packs, paldrons, modified armor, different helmets, ammo, and other things and just rig em all to the same skele and just have variations via .skin files? I guess what i'm saying is would it greatly drop fps to have all that stuff on a model? or does the game plain not even load the geometry that is *off in the .skin? That way I could make a clonetrooper and a stormtrooper "create your own" kind of thing. I could use them for my mod, and it would be a cool download by itself. It would have to wait for about 2 weeks though because i have some things i need done first, then, i will need the ST. it would still be nice if someone could try and ask em if I can rebuild

     

    I'm pretty sure no one cares if you tinker with their models, so long as you give them credit for the original. ;)

     

    If you want, I could un-mirror Hapslash's Stormtrooper for you.

    To be honest, you may as well just use Hapslash's improved Stormtrooper. I'm really not liking the tri count on mine, and I can't really cut anymore detail out without ruining how the textures fit. That and I don't really feel like doing a full remake just for JKA.

     

    There isn't really anything wrong with Haps one and it's already done, though it could use is a worn version.

    If you made this in 3ds Max, make sure you reset xform on the mesh and collapse the stack. Any surfaces that are flipped you will now notice, then all you need do is flip them back to normal. I would also do an editable normals modifier and make sure all your mesh's normals are unified. ;)

    I do plan on doing LOD's, the original model's tri count is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high not to have them. However I will only be making 2 LODs, preferrably:

     

    LOD0 - 7,500 tris (original model, need to get it down to this first or lower)

    LOD1 - 5,500 tris

    LOD2 - 3,500 tris

     

    The only person who did make them that I know of was Hapslash, no one else (once again that I know of) did not even me.
