Ascottk's application thread

Hi, some of you probably seen some of my work on ttlg. Anyway, I'm getting frustrated with t3's limitations and I've been doing homework on Doom 3 editing. Here's some examples of what I've been up to:

 

Textures I've done as a "Flesh Eater", a t3ed community project "The Cabal" campaign:

A tweaked Garrett model I managed to convert to 3ds max then back again (tweaked mesh, new textures, physiqued):

And new textures for T3 for a mod I was working on, but probably never finished due to t3's limitations and lack of documentation:

I like to do a lot of tweaking. I managed to convert t3's animations and skeletal meshes so I can edit them in 3ds max. I fixed rope arrow creation (it's still not working very well, it TDS for crying out loud!). I'm also the creator of "GarrAT: Animations Tweak for TDS":

I created a tds fm called "Krellek's Labyrinth":

As for 3ds max (I know some of you think the program's evil) but I found some import/export plugins for the md5 format. I'm getting the hang of character rigging, animation, uvw unwrapping, and I'm well versed on the texture-side of things (t3's specular implementation is an extreme PITA).

 

I wrote a few tutorials for t3ed:

http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pagan_WilloWisps

http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Conve...tions_to_3DSMax

 

And a normal mapping tutorial (an old method I don't use any more):

I'm also a composer/sound designer/editor but I know you're totally full in that department.

 

I may do a little more with t3 but I'm often getting frustrated with its limitations, but I'd like to help the Dark Mod.

Wow, you don't know how much we could use someone with that skillset right now. ;)

 

I'm sure NH will give you the application details shortly.

For a while there, it seemed like you had no interest in TDM and never would. I had personally hoped you'd join up some day. I'm glad to see you now embracing the dark side... muhahahaha...

 

(oh man was that cheesy)

 

I was interested from the start B) But I wanted to see what I could do with t3ed, which wasn't a whole lot :angry: The terrible lack of documentation is killing me which won't be a problem with this engine.

Do we even need to go through the contributor step for Ascottk? I think his TDS work should be more than sufficient for instant membership. :)

      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?
