Mesh normals broken along UV seam in-game...
Archangel35757 replied to Archangel35757's topic in Modding Assistance
So there is no "fix" for that since it's inherent in the GLM format. Best you can do is ensure the normals at that UV boundary are identical. Correct? -

The journey of my BB-8 model!
Archangel35757 replied to @JCulley3D's topic in Art, Media & Technology
Glad to see you back. What version of 3ds Max are you using? I have fixed the dotXSI 3.0 exporters for 3dsMax-- so you can compile your BB-8 and see him inside Jedi Knight! But I forgot to do the coordinate transformation on the vertex normals... so I need to fix that -

Archangel35757 replied to Archangel35757's topic in WIPs, Teasers & Releases
But can you or someone explain to me why it does that? Does Softimage --> Carcass do the same thing? If so, then we need a fix in Carcass to retain original normals along UV Seams, yes? -

Archangel35757 replied to Archangel35757's topic in WIPs, Teasers & Releases
Yeah, I'd like to come up with a test case for us to check out. We need a "not-too-complicated" model that we can test both vertex normals and UV seams... between Max & Softimage with Carcass. Maybe you, me and @@DT85 can come up with something. Yeah... that looks like I forgot to do the coordinate transformation on the vertex normals. I'll fix it when I add the other vertex normal export options. -
Revival of JKA's modding community
Archangel35757 replied to Xycaleth's topic in General Modding Discussions
This open source engine uses octrees: http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/vrml_engine_doc/output/xsl/html/index.html Edit: Only suggesting that the coders might look at this to see if an octree data structure can be added to OpenJK engine-- where we retain BSP data structures as children nodes??? Or some other harmonious arrangement between octree and BSP... of course I don't know what I'm talking about :-/ -

If Carcass doesn't show the same UV splits on your Softimage model then it could be the dotXSI exporter doing something with the UV normals... can you post any screenshots that show your mesh and UV normals? -
I'll try and have an update on the head mesh, hair, & lip area next week. Thanks for everyone's patience...

@@minilogoguy18, @@DT85, @@Psyk0Sith : While I fix the vertex normals for the 3dsMax dotXSI exporter, we may still have an issue with the UV seams from the Carcass compiled model. I understand the long-term historical problem of UV texture seems showing on models-- but I thought that was a result of the texture artist not painting perfectly blended textures across those seams. What DT85 and @@AshuraDX were describing is that Carcass appears to have non-uniform UV normals along the seam texture vertices. @@minilogoguy18 - Does this happen with dotXSI models created and exported from Softimage/ModTool & Carcass?
