A few tweaks could be done to improve the anatomy but overall great work and faithful to the originals!

The model is actually complete and you can fight against him as an NPC. He uses a custom skeleton and was never meant to be a playable character however.

A quick check: if you changed folder structure then you will also need to change paths in she shader file and .skin files.

The models seem to have a high poly count, which may be difficult for the game to handle.

This one may be the easiest of them all: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/doom-eternal-crucible-76d8a23f718a46c983a62b10dc530501

Still too high on the polycount / verts. Needs heavy optimization to prevent crashing the game.

He definitely seems more alert and ready to kick your ass!

Pic model updated - now includes caps and 3 LODs.

Dev team should check the drive for DF2_pic.pk3 and change the bosses.npc to "Pic" instead of Reborn.

If you are updating the textures further lmk. I updated the file on the drive just to include an altered animation.cfg file since I found the swings and movement to just be too slow making him too easy to defeat. He fights more like the "Desann" saber style which is a 1 handed medium speed style that has the strength of the heavy style. Increased walk speed and such as well. Working on death and jumping animations rn for him.

Should be good for now unless something needs to be tweaked. Looking forward to the update. I've also checked in a playable Pic, just modify the bosses npc to Pic instead of reborn for the model.

It comes out like a rat's nest. Looks like something went wrong during the export process. Sorry.

It looks sorted now, thank you. Will keep testing but it's already 100% better.

Looking great! I'll try to reproduce the issue you have and fix it asap. Would you mind sharing your config file with me?

There you go.

Textures overhauled and previewed in updated renderer. Excuse the crappy shots but the new build keeps crashing on my end.

The number of total head bones i irrelevant, only 9 are used. The extra bones are part of the animation rig from XSI.

According to this, it might be pushing it for SP. Using a mod should be fine.

For JASP, you can have around 6600 verts maximum before you hit the error.
In JAMP and OpenJK, you can have around 13100 verts before hitting the error.

Both cases assuming you have 32 surfaces.

Any Ghoul2 model attached to the model also counts towards the limit. For example, if your model is holding a saber, you would add another numSurfaces*4 + numVertes*20 for that extra model

What's most likely happening is that the .skin file for that asset is pointing to a "made up" image file from the shader. Let's call that a material instead of a texture.

Short answer: you need a diffuse.tga map, a spec.tga map a glow.tga map and env.tga map for your shader to work as intended. Each image needs should reside in the same folder as the hilt and be assigned properly in blender (at least in max that's how the .md3 format expects it).

In the md3 tool you can also load your hilt and assign textures with a .skin file and then export that to .glm.

Do i need a .skin file pointing to the shader for each part of the model ?
Only if blender fails to assign textures properly, you will then use a .skin file to assign textures to an md3 model that gets exported to .glm (that's the process i use with 3DsMax, could be different with blender)

Do i need to point the .shader to the model part name instead of the texture ? (kittyhilt or saber_w)
No, the shader only cares about image file names and paths

 

Basics of porting.

-Load a stock JA model, such as kyle to use as a template to scale / position your ripped model.

-Use the ripped model's bones to roughly pose it around Kyle's mesh.

-Make sure the joints line up with the main joints.

-Once the ripped model has been posed as best as possible, get rid of the ripped model's skeleton and Kyle's mesh.

-Start rigging using the JA skeleton / tags.

-Once the weights are good, you can start splitting the model into proper limbs.

Export and enjoy.

Blender or Max? Why do you re-import your .GLM? That is probably the issue (it does some funky stuff when you re-import a .glm, at least in max)

Hmmm would be something i need to check, i remember enabling something on initial run (ages ago) but not sure if that was it.

Testing the model in the engine in different light to see how the specularity behaves. Can't quite get constant spec/reflection on the eyes.

I guess i got distracted by other projects and life, never added proper optimized LODs. Also he's got no custom sounds.

Kudos on your dedication to this project and creating everything from scratch.

Paste the content of your new skin file here. Might need to send the pk3 file over for troubleshooting.

Maybe this will help
