t3rr0r Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 wow... looking really awesome there with the clawdite face (and the rest, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMarz1 Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 :angel: BIG NEWS! :angel: Zam has been weighted (still a little more work), but I just ran it through Modview, and its very awsome to see Zam animated for the first time. A big thanks goes out to Moooa! He has been hacking away, and it reallys shows! Should have some screenshots coming soon! This is an incredible moment, and things are looking really great! The finished model is now coming on the horizon. We plan to do some polishing, so that Zam can be at her best on release. Stay tuned! Mars out! Dang Hekz that was quick! Screens are up... Thanks Man!

boinga1 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 YEE-HAH i'm OK, just awesome to see a great model by an even better skinner so close to completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphius_doh Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I'm very impressed with what's been done in such a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMarz1 Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well I still need to finish the LODS, sounds, and skin varients. I can get through those fairly quick. I just put Zam ingame, and she looks great! I will need to change colors a bit, since the game renders everything lighter. Between me and Moooa (work monsters) I knew it would move along. I told him to take a break, since I know he was working like crazy. I am a little tired myself, but I want to get this done, so I can think about the next project. Mars out!

ksk h2o Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 it looks like tha skirt is going to be very tough to weigh without clipping. The skeletal animation is very poor for models which have robes/capes/skirts. I hope mooaa doesn't go crazy in trying to get the skirt perfect with no clipping in any anim frame.

t3rr0r Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 i was wondering... have new sounds been captured for the disrupter replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm not sure what Moooa did, but the skirt looks great!!! He even added the veil hanging in the "Unveiled position" and guess what? "No Clipping". I shortened the veil, because I was afraid that would clip. He made it the right length, and there doesnt seem to be any clipping.He seems to have it all together pretty well. I was concerned about the clipping issues in the begining, but Moooa has shown me that you can figure these things out! I think youll all be pretty impressed. Mars out!

I'm glad your asking about this, Yeah the sounds are in place! I even got a good charging sound effect. Only problem is that I cant find anyone to get the new rifle ingame. I know I can probably get it in, but I have no way of importing a glm into max. Once I can do that, then I'm sure its no big deal. I cant use milkshape, cuz I expired my trial. I know its cheap, but it would take to long to get the program for this deadline. I'm trying though. The rifle is what makes Zam, and I would hate to backtrack by using the old one. Mars out!

Hellfire Jedi Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Marz, You think you could give us a little beta of Zam? If you got ICQ and you wanna talk about this here is mine 330902605. AIM is MkStoughton I will be on but only if you get on within the next few minutes.... *EDIT* I would post her up on my site *EDIT* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want the model to get leaked out! And Ive seen this happen with the Yoda model. This sort of thing can really make a mess for the first release. Mars out.

BTW, check your pm box I read the PM, I tried to get on your site's forum, but had some difficulties. I might be interested. I have some models that you may want to use. Such as Zam's speeder, and a Republic Gunship. I'll get back with you as soon as this model is finished. Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skeletal animation is very poor for models which have robes/capes/skirts. I hope mooaa doesn't go crazy in trying to get the skirt perfect with no clipping in any anim frame. I don't go crazy with the weighting of zam, but the weighting of the mon calamari model because i've to weight all the clothes you can imagine : robe, skirt, xwing suit .I past many many many ... times to weight them and now it goes faster for this model. It's funny because all the clothes i weight for many mon calamari models are usefull for the only zam model But I have to say too that the model is very well done and then it's easy to weight. You don't waste time to move the point because of the clipping; for example on ackbar i past some days to test it in modview and to clean all the clipping and for zam it takes me 1 day. I can only tell you that you will be very impressed by the work of mars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMarz1 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 We may have a pistol too, but its only in the talks. Moooa is going to research the weapons thing, and we'll see what happens. Thanks for the kind words Moooa. Mars out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 i was goona ask if there would be a pistol-how'd you get the rifle in-game the first time? Or who got it in-game, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksk h2o Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 That's awesome. I remember having a nightmarish time weighing a mace windu model for Klorel, bc of the skirt. I'm glad you figured it all out without editing the mesh mooaa, and am looking forward to see how she renders in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixOblivion Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 NeoMarz1: Ive got milkshape registered. If you want, i'll export the rifle to any format u want. Just give me instructions on how.

I've also got some nice sounds from the movie in the Episode II Weapons Pack included with OmniMOD II Well ultimately I need the .max file. I dont know if milkshape can export a glm. to Max.. see if you can, If not try glm to 3ds.file. You should be able to access a Import or Export option from the "File" on the menu dropdown. Try importing the glm, then exporting it as one of the files I mentioned. Let me know if you have any luck. Psyko or H20, do either of you guys know what format I need to get it in Max? Also do you guys know where the Import/Export option is in Milkshape? Mars out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyk0Sith Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Marz: .md3 will work (if you have the max plugin), .3ds, .ase and maybe others. The import/export option shouldnt be too hard to find, usually under file...and most likely export. Cant remember cuz my MS copy stopped working a while ago.

ksk h2o Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 psyko is right. I'd opt for: glm->[milkshape]->md3->[3dsmax] if you have the md3 importer plugin for 3ds max.. if not psyko has a wonderful link for where you can get this very useful puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, If you got a link where I can get the md3 importer, let me know. I think you sent me the md3 patch a couple of months ago, but I couldt get it to work. I'll just download it, and patch from scratch Mars out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Here it is: http://www3.sympatico.ca/psykopat/tools/md3imp.zip You just need to extract the .dli in the plugs dir, other files are source code. Dunno why they didnt include the import feature with the exporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
