I also tried making just the head with the hat. I hex edited those lines but then the face didn't move at all :confused: That happens sometimes, not every head seems to respond ok to this editing. Sometimes it helps to just redo the whole process.....  [Read More]

Well feel free to do some testing/ research/ messing around on body modelling :) Making new bodys & heads is something we can't do yet, as we don't have a clue what to do with certain steps and stuff....  [Read More]

Smoothing groups? XD I don't know what that is. Thanks though. It could have something to do with weights, but then what should I do? Smoothing groups are an option in the Editable Mesh/ Editable Poly modifier. So you'll need to select that first i...  [Read More]

I've got questions on how to go about modeling to get fine results. I usually use kotor tool to extract model files and mdloops to get the ascii source. I use 3dsmax 5 with NWMax 0.7 to edit the models cos nothing else works. I figure there's loss of...  [Read More]

Yeah, that's what I meant. What's bothering me: can you interact with those other companions in cities (а la Ebon Hawk) or not? I'd be a shame if you could only establish a relationship with the companion you take with you. Lets hope its a bit lik...  [Read More]

I remember a BioWare interview where it had been said that you can only take one companion with you at a time, and it'd be best to stick with that one throughout the game. Odd, I thought you could have more, but only 1 active following you around....  [Read More]

Well, seems a good idea. But: You'll need to fix the wall texture, its not tile-able, you get this hard edge at its top. I think you'll have to make a choice, the walls are very dirty or the floor is very dirty, not both. IMO its "heavy"...  [Read More]

@LR: I think what you would need to do, is create a box in Max, (smaller than the actual skybox but larger than the apartment) and texture it as you would a regular skybox. .... Try it and see! ;) You got it ! Infact you would only need about 2...  [Read More]

@Trigger: Using Autocad ? Thats silly, that program is meant for Tech & architecture and such. I do know off C4D and Maya, though since NWmax ( clear hint of what's if for) was made for Gmax and 3Ds Max I adivce to use one of those. Eventually...  [Read More]

Okay, :lol: Let me illustrate what I mean :) This is an example of wasted polys, see the big blue arrows, they point at edges&verts that are not needed to give shape to this cylinder. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p214/Quanon/BADCY.jpg)...  [Read More]

Remember also that the game mesh polys are triangles, not quads. If you model in quads (like I do and as you appear to have done) you have to halve the poly budget - i.e. a 500 quad hilt will end up being a 1000 tri game mesh. Woops, yeah I forgot a...  [Read More]

Ahoy, got your PM. Well, the only way to get what you want is to manually model the curves, you'll have to be content with tad bit more "hooked" look. I suggest you read the tutorials or watch'em, I believe there is still some vid I once...  [Read More]

Quanon,how many vertices etc can K1 and K2 handle.What if I apply optimize to get lower values.I already applied MeshSmooth. Well IMO I think 3000 polys for a lightsaber is the maximum. I'd mostly try to end in between 1000 - 2000. The game won't cr...  [Read More]

Um,turbo smooth.Help OK, turbo smooth is a bad idea, remember that K1 or TSL are older games, they're low poly minded. I hope turbosmooth is still on your stack of modifiers, just remove it and then redo your mapping. Else go back to an earlier s...  [Read More]
