Model issues

Main PC has an Nvidia 7600GS card. The laptop has intel and renders crap, so can't even look at most stuff. The other nvidia card I tried in a different machine had decent rendering.

 

Things where I noticed it most:

 

* the pipes in SL sewers, I think this is caused by excessive triangulation due to the patch bars intersecting the patch out part (so it is probably not a model issue )

* the chairs in my old mill map around the table - they have a few gaps I think

* the priests shadow in the candle map has a gap between the hand and the lower arm

 

Unfortunately, I cannot work on either ASE or LWO.

You can post either in the forum or the bugtracker; I can fix any .lwo issues. A screenshot would help.

Which ones?

Yes, that's a rigging issue. Nothing is going to be done with the AI until the new skeleton is finalized.

Here you go, sorry for the delay, had to go to my PC:

I hadn't the patience to do screenshots while crouched, so hopefully it is still visible what I mean :)

 

The sparkling lines look worse when you move.

The chair model is a bit of a mess. I fixed the obvious z-fighting issues and the gap at the top, but it probably has other imperfections.

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to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
