toolboi Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 EDIT: hm but my blade is a modeled one... a mesh... not a sprite like the original lightsaber-blade... this might be a problem... or not? I dont know, thats what I was wondering about. Send me the model and Ill see what I can do, but no promises that it will work, especially with the curved blade. However if I look at the shaders there might be a way to change the area of the blur so that it will start in the middle of the model. if you want to send it to me: einfinity@mac.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 3, 2002 Author Share Posted May 3, 2002 Originally posted by IronFist115 Will you release it today??? :D heh pain... i'll release it when its done....(!) it will be done as soon as someone imports the tags from the saber_w.md3 file and send em to me (cuz i cant with max4.2, i can only export md3s .. not import) and send em to felrog@gmx.de or if someone posts a link on where to get a script for importing md3 files (FOR MAX4.2!!!!)

Dark Cloak Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 *pokes* Just try using the one for Max 4.0, babe. It might actually work. The upgrade couldn't have made THAT much of a difference...could it? I use Gmax, so I wouldn't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 3, 2002 Author Share Posted May 3, 2002 er DarkCloak you have to know that there arent any 4.2 plugins there are only ver4 ones.... but its compatible.. so i use the v4 plugin.... but it has no import function... however found a max4 import script.. now i have to learn how to use it (plugins and scripts are something different...) expect it to be released sooon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloak Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 *bounces* Soon! Wooha! And I gotcha. Scripting...eh. I can't program. Can't seem to be able to grasp all those concepts. I'm not a math oriented person. But I'm glad there are people out there who ARE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolboi Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Just wondering back, if the lightsaber were to go straight up (in its normal position) would the tip of the katana blade curve back behind the tip of the lightsaber, or would it curve forwards, meeting the lightsaber at the lightsabers tip? If the latter Im not sure how the blur would work, but the former could be done easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 the katana tip will be slightly behind the lightsaber.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Jo Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Will he slice with the sharp side of the katana? With lightsabers that isn't importent but with a real sword it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 not possible to prevent that without coding... but i think even WITH coding it would be very hard to prevent it.... however most animations (not all of them ) hit with the sharp side... but i'll surely create new animations... (as soon as possible) i'm planning to do a kungfu/akimbo/swords mod wont give you more details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
