Belcher

[sparhawk]

So did anybody take on Oddity's offer for the Belcher?

[New Horizon]

I would like to see him take a crack at it. Nothing wrong with the current Belchers, we can even keep them as another sub-species of sorts. I'm just curious to see what oDD would rip out.

I think his offer was only to make a hi poly version to make normal maps from. I only have a triangulated version & those don't convert well to hi -poly.

You didn't save the original quad version? That's a pity -- some high poly detail is exactly what it needs. There is nothing wrong with the basic shape as far as I can see.

I thought that's why we created the various source repositories? To upload models and such in their original state, to allow for such changes?

The original mesh of the dino was triangulated when I found it

 

To refresh your memory on the repository:

I suppose we can make it work without one, but as you can see here

it can get a bit confusing - it would be ideal to have an SVN repository for source models, to just be sure that I downloaded exactly the right file, added the changes, and commited it.

 

I suppose source files take up a lot of space, so it might be a problem to keep multiple versions of them in a repository.

 

Just wondering if its possible? Sorry if it's been addressed already, I wouldn't know where to look for such information - I tried the "Important info" thread.

 

Uploading all of the changes to the AI to ftp is a major pain. I sometimes rigging fixes affects the animations being produced & I would have to update the files on ftp. With SVN, character modelers & animators can keep up to date, if they actually used it that is BTW, what happened to all of our animators?
