Utensils And Cutlery

[DeepOmega]

Now that I can talk and move again (I had a nasty sickness over the holiday), and I've gotten over my HL2 addiction by beating it (damn fine game) I'm getting some modelling done. I'm whipping out some really quick stuff, for now, but it'll probably get more involved as time passes. So far, I've got:

 

-2 forks (dinner and salad/dessert)

-1 spoon

-1 knife (as in, knife for use at a table)

-1 ladle

-1 bigass kitchen knife (cleaver, really)

 

All modeled and UV-mapped. I really don't feel like painting the cutlery, so I'll just lay down your basic metal texture as a start, and if anyone feels like painting in details, more power to 'em. Once I have photoshop reinstalled, I'll paint up the cleaver. Should be fun.

Mmmm, yummy. We can have a nice set of golden loot textures for them and junk textures. Ahhh, golden utensils.

Well, they're done and in ASE format, but I can't log into the FTP. Internet Explorer, fireFTP and WinSCP all fail to work. =P Here's a screenshot to inspire someone to fix the damn FTP problems - it seems like once a week, another program is dropped from the list of programs that can log into it. (Note that the cutlery has a temporary texture - not at all a final texture, but really, how much detail does cutlery need?)

Update: Decided, hey, this is a next-gen engine - I can spare a few polys for better looking cutlery. Screenshots below. Note that the first is basically just so you can see that the cutlery all has height - not thickness, but it's at least curved for a nice specular highlight.

Looking great! About ASE format. I thought I read somewhere that there was a decision to have everything in .lwo format from here on in. I think a part of it might be to do with ASE format causing issues with the frobbing. I think it was BT who mentioned it...might want to check with him.

Still, the other utensils are nice.

[DeepOmega]

And once again, I guess I scrolled right through 'em. =P

 

Atti, are all of those models UV mapped and ready to use?

[_Atti_]

no..i cant do much mapping/texturing

so lets use yours..if yours allready Uwv-d

 

i will give my ones to another project..

Uploaded to the server, under models/props/misc/Cutlery - note that the CutleryDiffuse.tga is used for all of the non-cleaver utensils. If anyone wants a texporter unwrapping, so they can see how they all fit on the texture sheet, let me know, but since it's a simple model with a simple texture and no tiling you should be able to just lay down some colors.

It's fine that you uploaded them, but where? FTP? Who will put them in CVS then? And why didn't you upload them to CVS if you didn't? Nobody uses the FTP anymore for files.

[DeepOmega]

FTP, yes - I have yet to set up CVS. Will prolly do that later this week.

I think we should still use the FTP for unfinished stuff - otherwise we all have to download a whole bunch of crap everytime we want to update CVS.

And how are the models going into CVS? Is BT skinning them and uploading?

yeah that was the workflow eventhough I didn't skin everymodel (and I hope that I don't HAVE to skin every model )

LOL. Well, I guess we could need another texture artist or skinner.

[Fingernail]

I can do some skinning of other people's objects.

Finger!!!

 

I would prefer if you finish the pipes with some broken models, so we can tick that off, and then start on doing a map. We already have a lot of textured models, but we have no real map and I don't know who is working on that. Not sure if Renz is doing one. So I would say that a map has a higher priority right now.

[Fingernail]

Yeah, I'll get them finished first. :lol:
