Question About Blender


Maximius

Recommended Posts

I would like to download Blender and start to learn a little modelling, but I have a frew questions.

 

Can I import D3 monsters into Blender to work on?

 

 

If so, to what degree can a AI be re-modelled with Blender? Am I limited to changing the color of their clothing or can more major changes be made, such as adding or subtracting limbs.

 

Whats a rough timeline for the learning curve? Im a modelling illiterate but I learn pretty fast.

 

Can anyone suggest any other shareware that would be helpful/interesting to a neophyte modeller/designer/mapper

 

Gracias,

max

The best place for you would be the Doom3world forums. You'll get all these answers and the hundred and one other quesitons you'll likely have.

Blender has its own subforum there.

Yes, you can use belnder to make your own models and put them n doom, but I'm not sure you can modify the existing ones and then expect them to flawlessly use the same default animations agian. It depends if the blender md5 importer imports the vertices in the correct order. I know the maya importer does not.

Welcome to the world of us cheap Blender-heads! The Blender section of the Doom3world forums is great. There are also a lot of good tutorials you can link to right from the Blender website.Blender3d.org Also, check out elysuin.comhttp://www.elysiun.com/forum/index.php?sid=a63f5e236397f6d540aa72af74a929db

there's a really good forum there, too.

The learning curve can be pretty high, but if you're a good learner and put the effort into it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

As for other open source shareware type of programs, you might want to look into gimp. I don't know too much about it as I have photoshop, but from what I understand it works well and does a good job for making textures and such. gimp

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
