Reskin Of PoTC Ships

[Hylie Pistof]

Your walk files work very well. The crew go where they are supposed to and don't go where they are not supposed to.


That's a frigate? Big changes there.

Some more detail work.

That is some really fantastic work Craiggo!!!

Any chance you could make the same kind of bottom/lower gun deck with guns like you show here on the POTC Pinnace of War and War Pinnace? The reworked textures and sterns you did are are fantastic, they just look naked with no guns down the sides.

Since I know it bugs you so much, I will do it just to shut you up!

Just kidding bud, I'll be happy to do it if it makes you happy.

Thanks mate.

 

[craiggbrown]

Hear is the latest.

 

[craiggbrown]

More new stuff.

 

[craiggbrown]

More work for the ship pack.

 

[craiggbrown]

Hear is more of my work on the Heavy Warship.

 

[Armada]

Lookin' good, Craiggo! The ship looks like new, except for the cannons.

 

[craiggbrown]

Thank you mate,

If I could just figure out how to successfully add texture files to an object in Maya the cannon problem would be solved!

 

[Armada]

I might be able to help you there. The only part I couldn't get to work was the actual export process to GM format.
Looking back though, it may have been to do with locator/group naming or something. I was able to add textures, mind you.

First, select the model (which is already open in Maya).
Next, open up the Attribute Editor and select the object's material (e.g. lambert1, part1, blinn1 etc.)
Under 'Common Material Attributes', click the icon to the right of the 'Colour' slider (see highlighted section in screenshot below)



In the following screen, choose the folder icon next to the 'Image Name' input box, and then browse to the appropriate texture. It MUST be in TGA format (and must match up with the model, unless you want to go into UV editing... :wacko: ).

And that should do the trick. This is based on memory and a quick test, so hopefully I didn't miss anything.

EDIT: I posted before seeing your screenshot. Looks like you just forgot to select the model, so far.

 

[craiggbrown]

It wont let me brows for anything, that is the problem. I can't get the "brows for file box" to open?

This is what I don't see

 

[Armada]

Strange... can you post a screenshot of what you DO see when you get that far?

I don't get any file drop-down box to navigate to the Tex file location. There is just nothing there.

 

[Armada]

Ah, that's probably because you need to select the 'place2dtexture1' tab.
There, you need to open the 'Common Material Attributes' drop box. That should contain what you need.

 

[craiggbrown]

This is what I get if I click on the 'place2dtexture1' tab.






There is no 'Common Material Attributes' drop box'

 

[Armada]

Then I'm stumped.
There should be a tab for the material- that's the one you want, but it's not there.
Have you tried selecting the model in different ways, or something? I can't think of anything else that I did that you haven't.
This is why I hate Maya. It should work... but sometimes just doesn't.

 

[craiggbrown]

Thanks for trying to help me out Armada!

New stuff.

 

[craiggbrown]

Hear is some more re-skin work i did on the Battleship for you Shipwrites.

 

[craiggbrown]

Some new stuff mates.
