WytchDokta Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Right, I've got to over three quaters of the way through the exporting process for my new Dieter Munz character model. The thing is, I think I haven't UV mapped the top part of the torso properly as the skin doesn't fit correctly on that bit (looks like it's squeezed in). Here are some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) It's official - I've managed to export my first model (my previous models were exported by Phlookian) and it works in game. In fact, I had to export it twice because when I did it the first time, I accidently selected the Max Coordination export setting thingy to inversed.... Then when I previewed Tunney in the player roster, he was a monster! His neck was about 4 foot long and dragging on the floor, his legs and arms were not recognisable in the tangled mess that was then Tunney. Although, what seemed to be the main part of the boding was holding onto the SA80. He looked just like one of the those Curly Wurly chocolate bars, seriously! So, I re-exported my Tunney model with the correct settings and have some screens to post. These are not the final skins as such, the skins still need some minor adjustments (beats me how I forgot to add the holster in to any of the four skins, but nevermind), and I'm in the process of exporting their respective headgear. So here goes: New Nigel Tunney & [hooded] Jack Stone woodland character models New Nigel Tunney & [hooded] Jack Stone woodland character models again New Nigel Tunney & Jack Stone desert character models New Nigel Tunney & Jack Stone desert character models again Edited June 2, 2007 by WytchDokta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WytchDokta Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 looking real nice WD good work, Thats my next learning curve "Export" of a max model If you need an export walkthrough give me shout. I won't forward Phlook tute to you out of respect to him, but I am planning on writing my own comprehensive tute soon too. I think the hardest part of exporting is if you have to 'rebuild' any polys as you thn need to remap the UVW mapping for the models' texture. I've just exported my first attachment - nobody told me I needed to have it rotated at a 90 degree angle in 3DSM and down on the grid (in fact my model needs to be slightly above the grid) in order for it to fit on the head properly.

Hammer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 look forward to that tut WD, so far the Ambulance and the RR limo i built were exported by Tinker but its about time i learnt how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Replacing the lost vertices has to be the most annoying and most time consuming part - especially as the devs didn't name the bones correctly. Their bicep entry is actually the shoulder 'bone', their forearm entry is actually the bicep 'bone.' These bones control the movement of the vertices when the character moves (so if you set one of leg the vertices onto the neck bone, it will move in the same direction as the neck at the same as the neck moves, which can lead to some very funky results.) Just when you think you've got it right and export the character, you see the character move in game and some of the vertices are all over the place, where they shouldn't be. Think I've got square eyes now after working through this on several models in wireframe mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krise madsen Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I managed to get some solid info on current (not those in the mod) Danish small arms. These belonged to Air Force security personnel: C8A1's with a mix of ELCAN's and Aimpoints, including one setup with an Aimpoint mounted in front of a small night vision sight. A few C8A1's had Picatinny rail handguards (looked like KAC RAS) with vertical grips but no lasers or lights. Barrett M95 with some big sniperscope. Full size HK USP 9x19mm with single action safety levers and rubber grip and, get this, extended barrel with threaded muzzle and thread protection cap. The only serious use for this is a sound suppressor and I'm pretty sure those aren't use outside SOF... Also, FKP in Afghanistan used US Army type M240B machineguns with side-mounted Picatinny rails on top of their HMMWV's. And sound suppressors are used quite liberally by JGK. Dunno the type, but it had a pretty big diameter and a rounded front (akin to the later MP5SD). Small picatinny rails mounted below the front sight of the C8A1 LMG. Just FYI Respectfully krise madsen PS: WytchDokta, check your PM inbox, I think it's full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 PS: WytchDokta, check your PM inbox, I think it's full Just the way I like it.

WytchDokta Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 What can I say except it was case of 'Little Red Hen Syndrome'. That is, everyone wanted the end result, but no-one would assist in achieving that end result - I scrubbed the mod due to lack of community support. Help me to help you and all that. I appreciate your interest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I would have happily helped you If i knew wytch I guess there is no chance of carrying it on from you though right? Anything to keep me occupied on Photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not sure if I still have the models et al here. One model did survive the scrub-a-dub-dub, the RAFR model I made (I had plans for missions that was to be a joint op between DK and UK forces to seize an airport in the Serbian capital.) The RAFR model is featured in WD ChrPack, as Nigel Tunney or Jack Stone, I forget which I my old age (what old age?) The ChrPack also features my new character models for Galinsky and Grey, and IIRC one other. I'm sure it was five new models I did. Dayum, what was the fifth one? Ibrahim maybe. Incidently, I also had an new unfinished character model for Osadze that obviously wasn't included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WytchDokta Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 As stated before, I'm not sure I still have the models et al here. I certainly don't have 3DSM installed anymore, and don't know where the disc is. Too bad the help wasn't there when I needed it, back in the day when the modding machine was firing on all pistons.
