Model Polycount

[Renzatic]

I don't mess with DDS textures, and they're all tested and shot in D3. I do convert them from TGAs to PNG files before loading them up to the site, but that's supposedly a lossless coversion, and shouldn't be giving you any troubles.

 

Right now I can't see the attachments, so I'll have to wait til I get home to see what they're doing. In the meantime, if you want the original TGAs, just ask and I'll find a way to send them.

I made dds textures from the png's of the master builder store, shouldn't have done that for the normal maps. I already removed the pictures cause the textures work fine now.

Ahh, gotcha. My bad.

 

If you do anything cool with my textures, post a screenie or two here. I like seeing what people do with my stuff.

ABOUT TIME, HUH? It only too me...what...like 7 months to finally get around to it?

 

 

It's kinda simple. I'm not too terribly pleased with it, despite all the talking over it I did on the T3 forums. But it's a good first step. I learned a ton about a ton, so it's all good.

What was it you were supposed to be doing? The model looks really good. What polycount is it?

Getting a model into Doom 3 if that's what you mean. I tried it a few times then went off on another tangent. There was some stuff I needed to learn before I'd even consider it worthwhile to get a model ingame.

 

What you're looking at there is actually 2 models. 3 if you count the doorknob which isn't in the shot. Altogether, it's about 2100 tris. Considerably higher than what I was aiming for, but I had to add alot of geometry to get all my curves and edges working together with the normalmap without looking sloppy.

 

I'll probably upload it alongside a bunch of other things I'm working on when I'm finished. Kinda get a basic theme going on. Right now, I want to redo the diffuse to make a closer fit with the new floor I've done. After that, I'll finish up my arch I've started on, my new wall texture currently in progress, and probably a baseboard and trim I've yet to fire up depending on how much time has passed. When I get all that, I'll be posting here and see if you all want it or not.

Okay well good to have you back

 

I've found it's really rewarding to make Dark Mod a bigger part of my life, it's something I really want to complete. For me it boils down to not playing video games very much and even turning down LAN games with friends - but I still go out I just culled out the less important stuff.
