tFighterPilot Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 lol, triple post Anyway, real prefebs are, in fact, map files, but those are md3's http://www.massassi.net/3dos/md3s.shtml
monsoontide Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 Having Some UV mapping problems with it. Am trying to get to it this weekend.
Manquesa Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Just for the record, my next project as soon as i'm finished with my Awing is the Slave 1. Of course that doesn't mean nobody else can do it, just thought i'd make that known.
monsoontide Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 Hi Manquesa, Was watching ROTJ tonight and noticed that those little exhausts don't actually have a glow or exhaust effect rotoscoped on them - they just detailing.

Oh well, i'm not changing it. What I ended up doing was putting exhaust tags on those 4 smaller engines (which now doesn't seem like was necessary) and recessed them into the model a bit so only a little more than the tails of the exhaust flames shoot out, then I put four tags on each of the big engines to make it look like one big exhaust on each. Woulda been so much easier to keep it the way I had it before. Glad to be done with it though.

monsoontide Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 Phew finally! The chrome shader now works great Heres what I have 1: The colour image .tga (with alpha channel - white areas have no gloss / Grey - inbetween / Black areas have full gloss) 2: Environment map .jpg 3: Glow map .jpd (Black areas become transparent) also has a sort of pulse added to it with the - rgbGen wave noise 0 1 0 1 - line. Hope this will help anyone else wanting this sort of effect! Heres the shader itself models/players/n1_mst/n1_mst { cull disable { map models/players/n1_mst/n1_mst.tga rgbGen lightingDiffuse } { map models/players/n1_mst/env_chrome.tga blendfunc add rgbGen lightingDiffuse tcGen environment } { map models/players/n1_mst/n1_mst.tga blendfunc blend rgbGen lightingDiffuse } { map models/players/n1_mst/n1_mst_glow.tga blendfunc add rgbGen wave noise 0 1 0 1 } } Just a few more tweaks to the vehicle file to make! Then I'll send it back to Duncan and see if he can make it big enough to fit a droid like on the x-wing (Or at least animate the R2 head!
wedge2211 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 You sure you want "cull disable" in there? That makes the shader visible from both sides of the face that it's on...when there shouldn't be any way to go inside of the N1 and look out, right? Having that line in there might affect the number of tris the game draws.
monsoontide Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 You're right. Must've left that on by mistake! Will be used on my speeder bike though - So I can use single polys for the fins!
monsoontide Posted November 21, 2003 Author Posted November 21, 2003 Well, it looks like Keshire almost has the Acklay ready for BETA testing. Should be in the next few days.
Zappa_0 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Ahem...Light blue, not green. And im looking forward to the Acklay release.

Zappa_0 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 The Starfighter is a top and front pic. I may do a back drawing of it also. The Droid sub i have all three. Ill try to scan them here in a bit and also iamyourfather do you have msn messenger, so I can send them to you? If so message me at JediOutcastMovies@msn.com

If so message me at JediOutcastMovies@msn.com I can't do without a left shot, it's second in its importance after the top.
Zappa_0 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Monsoon count me in! And Iamyourfather, I will see what I can do.
GothiX Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 I'd be more than happy to beta test again for you; I think I even saved the instructionsfrom last time to my HD.. gothicx3@hotmail.com

WhiteShdw Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Hey, I'd like to beta test that Acklay as well, although I mostly do my testing in SP, but I'll give MP a shot as well. kal_el23@hotmail.com
