has anyone picked up the models for skinning? i could do some, if you like
glassakias, I vote that you try some skins out. I think Louis Lux said he would skin too... I just want to see these things skinned. Especially the wolves as there are maybe some modeling glitches that could be fixed with skins.
I'll try my hardest, and will help as much as poss. Thanks for the ivite sqk PS tell me what you wan't and I'll get straight onto it
Squeaks!? You are a miracle worker with all the work you do around here Lets see what you have in mind for the brown matriarchs....
Hello Disatras! Well, I seem to be working on a few bits. Wolves I've never tried. How were the models made, and where do I get hold of the model? I think Glassakias is in there before me, so I'll do what he doesn't want to do. If you need glitches fixed, maybe a slight remodelling to fill the gaps or that sort of thing would be useful, which I can happily do...? It's amazing what you can cover up you know! The modelling side of it is key to the success...if the uvs are out then they'll be hard to skin...that sort of thing, so I can alter htem or whatever you want.
Right, got the model....will probably be a while before anything comes of it, but I'll shove soemthing together as soon as I can. Noticed that Glassakias hasn't posted since 15th, so I'll just get on with it. Alreadyded...I think the guy you need to talk to for scaling info is Marcigaglio. He does buildings and models for us and wanted to resize elves etc, so I think he may be able to help.
I got it all figured out awhile ago squeaks, I have just been too busy with life. Now I just have to overcome my laziness and certain parts of the code. I should have the majority of the drakes in game in the next few days.
Squeaks, I think you have the right ideas for now. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Okay ded, if you're sound about it, that'as enough for me ! I hope I have the right idea
Right. We have an issue....do you have a previous save of the spider model from BEFORE you combined the body parts? If not, I will do my best, but it's looking quite uhm, difficult to uv map, as it currently ain't that doable. If not, I really will try. It'll just take days of work rather than a much shorter job, and will not look as good as it could
Yes I have models with the parts separately grouped, but don't worry about the skins yet squeak. I will do quick and easy skins for all the units for the release myself. I'm sure you have plenty of your own work to do right now anyway. But feel free to reskin them after they are released. On the progress side I managed to get four drakes done even though I haven't really been working on this for like two weeks. I will upload a new beta later today.
WOW! Hope I can be of use to you....don't fancy being pointless to your invite here....
I would like multiple skins for each creature if possible, for variety's sake, which is why I want help with skinning. But I will make one skin for each myself. Also I would like the older creatures skins to look more worn and dingy, since they are so old. So I will need help with that as well, but not for another week at least.
sure, okay, I'm here for that when it happens
Alreadyded, you have a lot on your plate my friend. You should delegate some of the responsibilities to others. You could have squeaks work the skins until you like them. I just know you have a lot going on as you were going to upload the drakes, dragons, and some others for a while now. We're here to help. Don't let the enormity of the mod bog you down when others can work on the smaller projects. You've got a team of people pullin' for ya!
It is not the mod work slowing me down, I don't spend much time on this mod. I space it out a lot, maybe 10-20 minutes of work a day. It is mostly me just waiting until I feel like doing the work, which may be a week or more sometimes. The only part about the skins that will even require time and effort are finding good textures to use. After that you just wrap it around each group and do some touching up. I don't plan on investing too much time into them, just to give other skinners a basic idea of what I was going for. Plus squeaks probably has more on her plate than me, she is helping a lot of people out right now.
I hear ya. I just was doing some wishful thinking. Squeaks doesn't have too much on her plate, does she? Well, here's hopin' you get a boost of creative energy for the project!
I believe squeaks is helping with about 3 or 4 other mods, making units and skins I think. I am sure she is working more than 20 minutes a day, so she must be more busy than me. But if she wants to start skinning models now I do have a bunch completed, and I have no problem with it. But either way I will create one skin apiece myself, so there is no rush. Surprisingly my mod is only a little over a week behind schedule, thanks to the damn hardcoded wardogs the spiders and wolves were a . And I am adding over eighty units and dozens of regions, so that ain't bad...
Sarcasm hardly ever transfers well to writing. Squeaks is way busy. I can hardly believe how busy she is, but she cranks out consistently good work. Speaking of consistently good; 80 units?! Wow! I'm wondering if you meant 8, but 80 wouldn't surprise me either. Can't wait to see them! "Dragons and drakes!" That'll be my warcry til I get them.
