TheWhiteRaider Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I am doing Count Dooku's saber(That is when he was still on the light side). Since I can't use one texture file for the saber I need multible files, but I can reduce the saber down to 3 meshes(Model talk. for anyone that doesn't know, but this is a modeling forum so most likely won't need it). So if I can get ahold of the files I can finish the saber. I've got the model made all I need is the textures. I've got to have a nice chrome(for the brunt of the saber) and a red texture(for the button). So if you are able to please help. And I can unwrap. I can't make the textures do to the fact I don't have a good texture program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Vertex Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 hmmm you could try GOOGLE, computer talk for GOOD SEARCH engine. You should probably state the paiting program your using. IF your using photoshop your best search will come from "photoshop" realistic metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRaider Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 That is the problem I only have the default windows XP paint programs. That is why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Vertex Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 well that is a problem......see what you can get from here, you might have to do TONS OF cropping. http://textures.forrest.cz/ try a google on texture libraries. There are tons of free textures. Or use a digital camera and take you own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRaider Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I'll look. Thanks for the help. And about the camera that would be killing myself in my case. The camera is my bro's and he is protective of his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Vertex Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 hmm, just have him take a pic for you, you 'could' probably get away with taking a pic of you pots and pans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRaider Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 True. Now I only have one problem. I found a texture that looks good on it, but in the game it won't load the textures and the games says Can't load non-power-2-dims Now how do I get this to work?

Kahl Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hey if you have access to photoshop 5 or better, go to http://www.phong.com or http://www.designsbymark.com they have great tutorails, and its really satisfying to make your own customized textures and sh|t. I've been doing web graphix for 2 years, and i still go back every now and then to see whats new. and BakerS8er is right. UVwrapping us hard:D so just give up. i did. heh nice model btw:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 UVWrapping is hard but you shouldnt just give up on it....once you figure out how to outstretch your wireframe model, The only thing standing in your way would be the skinning ( which im just horrible at:p) so dont give up..

Kahl Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 eh.. i've tried. i've looked at tutorials, but either im doing something wrong, or i cant understand the jargon. and when people attempt to help me out, i never understand what they say:P im just really tired of fukin with people and life, wish i could just stick a .45 in my mouth and paint the wall with my brains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
