Well, I cant do any of that at all! I try, but nearly all of the time I screw up. I know that the modders will say that this happens to them too, but seriously, I can screw up an entire computer by putting a disc into the disc drive. I have a knack for that sort of thing. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

While waiting for a couple of things, here's what I did today, just because I wanted to see if it could be done... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

<div align="center"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/justagrrl/Mixed_Minx.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></div>

That is <b>towngirl4</b> from the waist up and then a texture-modfied <b>Danielle </b>from waist down. Works just fine too except for some of the more extreme animations (like from the front when landing after a fall) as she still is in two parts... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :rolleyes:

" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Still fiddling with that so I can merge two models without having to remap the whole model (mapping is a pain <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />). Still learning these things! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

But, from behind - the view the player has got - it looks just fine as far as I have tested it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

Yes, I could - but I discovered a bug that I reported to Inez that she will try to fix, and I would hate to release buggy models. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> It seems the light is somehow coming from the wrong direction in the modified models, making them not catch the light as nicely as the untouched models. It occurs when exporting to VRML and then back in, not when loading a GM and saving it straight away.

I was way too busy modelling... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :eek:

ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> ...uh, <i>PotC modelling</i> to notice it before! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :rolleyes:

" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Let's give Inez a chance to catch up and I could (within reason) take a few requests. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

But I will combine these right now anyway just as a teaser - just so you can see what it will look like! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

Glad you like it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> All I need to do is to figure out if I can join them without having to retexture them - and, failing that, make the "joint" of the two bodyparts (<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shock

" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />) as good as I can. That should be easy enough, although detailed textures crossing the lower body and the upper will be tricky at best. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

However, more general textures (uniformly coloured shirts et cetera) will be easy enough. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

Questions:

1. Does the gm point to one tga.tx or does it need two?

2. As the waist down is Danielle, I assume that the sword and pistol locators are included on this combined model, right?

Rico · Jun 2, 2005

Yes, I think the locators are included, as I could see pistols on the previous model. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Petros @ Jun 1 2005, 10:28 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>1. Does the gm point to one tga.tx or does it need two?</div>
At this point, two, as they are two seperate objects (and thus also get the glitch best seen from the front during the "landing" animation). If I combine them, one of the model's textures will be applied to both and while some bits work fine others do not. As I am still learning I have yet to figure this out, if it is possible. But I have a couple of ideas I want to try... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

One alternative is that I try to remap them, but since I know that can be a bit of work I try to put that of unless needed! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

However, releasing a model in two parts is <i>not</i> what I intend to do... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :no

" border="0" alt="no.gif" /> But, I have a couple of ideas as I mentioned! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Petros @ Jun 1 2005, 10:28 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>2. As the waist down is Danielle, I assume that the sword and pistol locators are included on this combined model, right?</div>
Yup. Rico is correct. They go with the model, and (so far, touch wood <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(hey, stop pawing my head!)</span>) that part seems to work 100%. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Well, no remapping... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> And of course, I should have known, since Inez told me she tied to UVW mapping to the animation. D'oh. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :rolleyes:

So, looking into other alternatives, but it looks as if the ladies will have a few glitches - although I am certain I can tweak those to a minimum.
