That's nice. Would it be possible to photoshop out the arms though. Then put them each on their own alpha mapped plane so we can animate the hands.

 

I've done alot of thinking about rotating a texture for hands instead of rotating a model. I think it would be wastefull, the tex would have to be way oversized so when it rotates it doesn't tile across the corners (if that makes sense). I've been putting off work to the grandfather clock for quite awhile, but I think seperate hands would be better. If we have one good tex like those hands we could use it on all the clocks, maybe a new model for size, but the model only needs to be 2 polys so it'll be super low file size. It could also be used on my gauges instead of the red needle I modeled.

Wouldn't take too long though right? Would be cool to start getting some clocks set-up. (not that it'll happen right away)

But we are starting to get some of that stuff more organized, and added to entities and prefabs so authors can just drop a working model in a map instead of having to piece them together or replace them later.

 

Whatever floats yer boat though ;)

ok finally something new from me. Wasn't able to do anything last weekend, since I had guard duty from Saturday to Sunday, so basically the whole weekend was fucked up. In addition to that I also had to do the 'vice guard commander' because I was the 2nd highest rank (absurd since I'm just a private first class (?) myself :D ), so I had to stay up the whole damn night to supervise the other guys...

 

Ah, how I miss those times. NOT! :)

 

here's a wallclock:

 

Wow! Looks great, as always! :)

Wow, nice! But, please don't take this personal, but I do think the clockface looks a bit too modern. It are probably the roman digits.

Ok I'm feeling almost ashamed when looking at the last date 10th December...but anyway here's something small again I can contribute from last weekend.

(First model I did on my new computer, which is in fact a notebook (Asus G1S) I bought for uni. I still need to install some software, tools and other stuff...)

Very nice! I assume that's for a bust? I'd be happy to texture it for use as a character too--we're short on good heads.

 

BTW, are you uploading this stuff to SVN yet?

we can't really use this model as a character head, since it doesn't have any proper edge-loops needed for an animated head. I don't have SVN installed yet, so I'll upload it onto the FTP like the other stuff (not sure if anyone noticed, but there should be all the textures and models I posted in december last year)

Oh really? I didn't realize that...FTP isn't really used for much anymore.

Do our existing heads have proper edge loops (whatever those are)? Currently the animations we use for the heads are pretty primitive, and they're not likely to get much more sophisticated between now and the beta-release.

yes they have at least the very very basic rough loops required as fas as I remember.

Here's an image to illustrate what I'm talking about: poly_regions.jpg

 

However I could of course model that head for AI use again - it's just unusable in its current status, as it doesn't even have a modelled mouth and even eye blinking wouldn't work.

I looked around on the FTP, but couldn't find the models, BT...where did you put them?

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
