My First Model In-game

Recommended Posts

With the help of Jay and some threads on D3world I finally managed to create my own custom model and import it into D3. :) And it is already frobable, but that is probably to be expected now.

 

Don't expect to much, because it is just a simple bowl, and I think it might be much t heavy for such a simple object. It's a drab bowl and it has 84 faces. The problem is that i don't know how to lower the polygons while maintaining the detail. Maybe somebody could explain that to me.

At least it is a start and I can now create my own objects for testing until I get good models from our artists. Are there any still around, or did they all leave now?

That's great news, Sparhawk! Thanks for letting us see.

Actually it is pretty easy once I figured it out. :) The only problem I have is that I can do only static meshes. As I save the files as ASE there seems to be a problem with them but I haven't seen any so far. I thikn it has to do with using multiple textures. For the objects that I had in mind, I don't hink that this will become an issue though.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.
