Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

Where do they put it? I´ve tried PrintScreen, but I never found the picture file. The problem with me is, GMviewer doesn´t show textures on character modells.

Thank you Alan, but what do I do if there are some uncovered parts on the model?
 
Yep, Clipboard. What you do is open up your graphics program (MSPaint will do) and do a "paste" into a new palette. That will copy the contents of the clipboard to your program so you can edit it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
Uncovered parts on the model? What do you mean, exactly? Like gaps, say between the head and neck? I smooth those out as best I can by tweaking the size of the body/head and their orientation to one another, high or low or centered, or forward/backward. Some don't combine well at all, which is a crying shame when you have a mix that would otherwise be stupendous.

Exactly. And in my mixed character (man3´s head with the french soldier´s No. 5 body) it´s only a small part, but it would be right in the center of view if he were a tailor skin for your playing character. As an NPC, it might not matter that much, but I haven´t tested that, since I´ve got a `more-than`-slight problem with making NPCs.
 
Maybe it would be better to separate the parts based on height instead of bone number ? That would give you a clean cut at the neck - however any hair, hats etc would be cut also.

Will do. I think I´ll have it ready by Monday.
 
I'm trying to picture exactly what difference that would make, but I can't.

Say, any chance to seperate smaller pieces of models - hands, legs and hats? Or swap torsos? With a little moving around and resizing, a woman's top wouldn't fit too poorly on a man's legs...

But then, I guess you have the problem of animation, oops. Only Danielle's legs would use the same.

Hands and legs yes, because they have bone numbers, for hats I'd have to learn how to select parts of a model in 3D View first.
 
Hands and legs would be a great start, for adding hooks or boots or whatnot. That one hook is the only hand that's any different.
 
I put that on my list. But first in line is resizing characters with animations. (Working on that rigt now.) And I want to play, too - your own fault: I need to try the opium den and get my tatoos.
 
Heh, yes, I wish I had time to do that, been kinda busy... Maybe later this weekend! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Inez, would you have any idea how difficult it might be to import an island from Sea Dogs into the PotC map? Or blend the two maps? (do we want to make ourselves even nuttier than we are now?) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> (HA!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />
 
Not sure. I have the game here, but it's not installed so I can't really check. Perhaps someone else will know the answer to that? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

The towns are rather simplistic, compared to PotC... We'd probably have better luck looking into the A&M mod as I think they created new islands for it... AlexusB might know more - and tho I think it would take a lot of work, we MIGHT be able to integrate that mod with what we've got working here... He did indicate that would be fine with him... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Just an idle question... Someone raised it in another topic, so it was on my mind... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
I think CCC and Alan have opened up so many opportunities for new locations that makings new Islands isn't really pressing.

With the opium den we could even have fantasy settings: you smoke a pipe (or whatever they do with it) and then walk into a picture to reappear right in fairyland..
 
It is possible to add islands from A&M expansion mod to the world map,if ye remember Cat,I managed to do that.CCC showed me how to put a target locator on de werld map to find locator positions for the islands by typing in coordinates,which in turn ye could also add towns to the islands me thinks ,thats as far as I got wid it when unfortunatley me hard drive packed it in and like a dummy , no back up,It could be doable but someone with far more experience would have to confirm that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Heh, I like that "fairyland" idea, Inez! We could have melting walls and all sorts of interesting oddities...

And that's right, Skull, you remind me now that you in fact DID do that... Well, if you did it before, you can do it again - just a matter of working at it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
