Davy Jones

Hi,

That is just plain cool, very nice work!

When are you going to release your other models?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->


When I've finished em <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

No, seriously....I'm trying to learn about skin weight painting etc. first, as I've been hitting lots of problems with deformations around the joints.
We need the talking head skeleton\example too, this head of Davy's doesn't talk and is made up out of two models,..not brilliant but better than nothing for the time being.

I'll try finish Jack Sparrow though in the next couple of days.

I put my question also in a PM before I read this so, thanks for the information. It seems it is a very difficult process <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Wow! I'm impressed. DEFINITLY the best one we have! Good job! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Well done Damski! Awesome looking Davy Jones there.

Hi,

Cheers All, but we're not out of the woods yet.....the models' camera settings need changing or as I've found if your line of view (between screen & player character)gets too near him the game gets CTD'ed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> .

I'm looking into that problem now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/readon.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="readon.gif" />

I have made one improvement though.....I've got him down to using a single texture file instead of five.

Looking on the bright side.....once Davy is finaly sorted at least I'll know what I'm doing when I get on with the other characters.
 
Ouch; that's an interesting one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> ,

I think I've solved the problem ...... the skin is double sided and it shouldn't be. You may have noticed that the camera will go through other characters if you get close enough , but with Davy it couldn't hence the CTD.

So I will sort out the extra mesh parts and test it today. If it goes ok & that is the only problem, then we will have a finished, albeit admitedly not animation perfect..but acceptable, model to be going on with untill I do a better one.

Fingers crossed, I should finish it tonight.

Sounds good. VERY good! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

Well that fixed him.........no crash. I'll get him ready ASAP.

That sounds very good. And I am glad that you finally have figured how, how to do such things, because now you can call yourself the first modder, who succesfully made an own model 'from scratch'!
 
Indeed, a good news, this new Davy Jones <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Good day to you Gentlemen! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" />

please excuse my revival of an old topic. i thought it'd be a waste of forum space and a cluttering up of the forum to make a topic for such a small question regarding something on this subject.

Would anyone be willing to direct me to a specific file in the FTP in which i could find Davy Jones and the outstanding new Flying Dutchman?
 
Check out the PotC Files FTP; The Flying Dutchman you could find in ZarethPL's folder and Davy Jones in damski62's. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
cheers mate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" /> . now...anyone know of any newly completed British naval ship projects? perhaps fixed guns for the Victory?
