Arcturus

Both Blender and Messiah can theoretically import .bvh. It's not on the list of Maya's supported formats: http://download.auto...ile_formats.htm,topicNumber=d0e72344 There is .fbx on the list. It's free for 30 days only. Unfortunately it can't read .ma nor .mb formats in which all our character rigs are stored. It can however read .rtg which seems to be a Maya's format? Could one of the Maya users export a character rig to it? According to wiki it's been used by professionals (Harry Potter, Hell Boy, Xmen): http://en.wikipedia....iah_(software). All our characters are rigged in Maya. I would like to use Blender but I can only import .md5. That means I have to make my own rig based on the bones and I never managed to do it right. The rig I ended with wasn't satisfying. That's why I was interested in Messiah.

And what about this .mot format? What about other formats like Modo's .lxo or .bvh?

http://www.projectmessiah.com/x6/shop.html They are selling this application for 10$ or 40$. Only condition is that certain amount of people sign in. It looks that it will happen. Do you guys know anything about this program? Could it be any use for TDM? I installed demo yesterday. It doesn't open .ma, .mb nor .fbx (it can export as .fbx). It can open .lwo and .mot (Lightwave motion). I imported md5 animation to Blender in order to make some animations but it was really impractical. I wonder if it's possible to export our rigs to .lwo and/or .mot and import to Blender or Messiah to work with them.

He doesn't. Well, at least not all of it is made with brushes. He uses 3ds max.

Run, I think it was test/lace.map. There should be both my carpets. I think you have to flip the texture on one end.

It's a model. It was rendered in Blender

Merry Christmas!

Do you know Arcturus? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXBs0SNjX5w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBzVeWgyrDw Oh yes. Abey Road is my favourite rock album and it's quite progressive too.

I may be wrong, but I think that most people still use monitors with lower resolutions than 1680 x 1050 px. You could rescale them a bit and then use lower compression.

Both walk1 and walk2 in tdm_ai_guard_proguard_devel.def were pointing to the old walk animation. I corrected it: anim walk1 models/md5/chars/guards/proguard/walk.md5anim { frame 7 footstep frame 25 footstep } anim walk2 models/md5/chars/guards/proguard/walk1.md5anim { frame 3 footstep frame 20 footstep }

What about this walk animation? http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/11822-alternate-walk-animation/

Saddle is perhaps not the best example because it was not meant to be animated, that's why I didn't connect bones. Bone chains are exported normally. Without them it would be next to impossible to animate limbs in Blender. However, I have some problems with inverse kinematics inside of the game and I suspect it's a problem with Blender. Anyway I know that bones should not be rotated on their own axis like on the second picture: It can cause trouble. Also don't rotate/scale whole armature. It seems that Blender has its own system of animation that is different from other applications. I haven't tried any, though. Blender's MD5 exporter is not perfect. Sometimes for example exported mesh is slightly twitching - some very small random movements are added that weren't in the original animation inside of the Blender. And I'm still not sure what causes it. Thanks. Wait till you see it textured

I've been using. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F80ZSTLI here's a model that will be part of the 1.03 update. A blend file and an af.

OK, texture uploaded.

Actually it has to be 2. Numbers below 1 increase texture size. qer_editorimage textures/darkmod/roof/shingles_red_plus_strips_ed { blend diffusemap map textures/darkmod/roof/shingles_red_plus_strips scale 2, 2 } { blend bumpmap map textures/darkmod/roof/shingles_red_plus_strips_local scale 2, 2 } { blend specularmap map textures/darkmod/roof/shingles_red_plus_strips_s scale 2, 2 } Unfortunately, it doesn't work with qer_editorimage. So I would have to make 512x512 jpg with same image pasted 4 times.

I remade shingles_red_plus_strips texture. It was made by Tels. He used a very old version of shingles_red texture which was later updated many times. I used current shingles_red by STiFU. There's a problem with scale though. Here's the old one: Here's the new one with the same scale: Tels' version has 4 times more tiles so if we simply swap images, scale in existing maps will be off. Here's how it looks with scale adjusted to match the old texture: I wouldn't like to increase number of tiles 4 times for obvious reasons: it will de facto decrease quality and it will not match shingles_red texture.

So, do we take it? I still think it's much more natural than the current animation.

Pagefile for all discs is 2GB.

I have 3GB RAM + 1GB on the video card. I don't think it's a hardware problem.

I made separate saddle model and turn into a ragdoll.

I would remove the old one. It reminds me this:

Judging only from the Youtube video it's much better than the old one. I would also animate the cloth. There are proper bones. Currently it's glued to legs. Adding even a subtle movement would add realism.
