Noblewoman Oddities

[Schatten]

Sorry for the pun.

 

Ok, so I played around with the outfits of the noblewoman and noticed a few things with the model, and I just wanted to check if it's just me:

 

- There's a hole under her right breast. Handy for knowing what's going on inside a woman (apparently not much), but not really nice to look at.

 

- There's fleshy looking stuff sticking out of her left breast.

 

- On the right side of her hip is a bright triangle. I thought this was a normal/specular/whatever map problem, but when I altered the TGAs in question it didn't do a thing.

 

For the record, I was checking in test_walk_ik, because I have no modelling app.

If these are visible when she's moving, it might just be because the walking animation hasn't really been tailored to suit her and there are weird stretching issues. If it's when she's idle, then I don't know.

[Schatten]

Hmm, haven't seen her idle yet - she's constantly moving in the map. The hole and the felshy bit seem to be movement related, since they're only appearant when she moves her chest. The thing on her hip doesn't look like it's caused by something sticking out though.

Gosh! What are your doing to this poor woman? Looks like a rubbermaid to me.

Hmm, I see the fleshy bit in the middle pic, but I don't see anything amiss in the other two (other than the weird yoga-pose).

[Schatten]

In the first pic, look at the seam of the dress where it joins the torso. There's a triangular bit that's bright - the specular light on the rest of the seam obfuscates this in this picture, but the triangle looks always like it's fully illuminated, regardless of the surrounding light.

 

In the third pic, note the black streak directly under her breast. That's a hole, you can look inside the model there. It's especially obvious when you stand below her and look up, but I couldn't get the bitch to hold still, so I had to gas her and give her some yoga lessons.

 

Just load test_walk_ik and observe her for a while, these things a rather obvious when you know where to look.

They're just some weighting issues with the rig.

Okay, she went through a major overhaul but I can't commit:

Error Commit failed (details follow):

Error Can't create directory '/subversion/darkmod/darkmod/db/transactions/2120-1.txn'

[ascottk]

Okay, she's up & still having problems. But she's using the citywatch's animations, has a shadowmesh (which needs to be fixed because they're casting some nasty shadows on the dress), and has new mitten hands.

 

Some of the problems were weighting issues & the glowing triangle on her right side was due to some vertices not properly welded together.
