Tutorials & Resources

To start the whole process, are you familiar with making models or sprites right now in any modeling or graphics program?


Unfortunately, I'm not. Based on what I think I understand from what I've read here, the weapons are modeled in a 3D program, then colored over, which I'm sure I could do (if that's actually right)
And the next step, actually making an animation out of it and putting it into the game, well that I've just got no idea.

I understand not having the desire to make a full tutorial - I'd be more than happy to do it a step at a time, and based on what I've read in other threads here, I THINK i could piece it together if I just had the first steps.

Starting in a 3D modeling program is one way to produce the weapons as put into the game, whether you are rendering the weapon into a sprite, or using the 3D model itself, or both. Other artists have the patience to draw weapons completely by hand. Some do a combination of other weapons from games, mods, and TCs, ideally with enough new creative impulse to call it something more than a sprite rip.

I would be qualified to write such a tutorial from start to finish, and in fact this is not the first time one has been requested. I am also on fall break from college, so I have ample time to do so. The question is whether or not I will feel motivated enough to devote the length of time required--whether I will wake up tomorrow and feel the creative flame that drives me to make mods or document something on the wiki or add a feature to EDuke32.

Misfit Model 3D with MD3 Export poly limit removed. (Raised from 4096 to something incredibly absurd.)

I tried out your hacked version and it does indeed convert and save high poly md3 models. But do they work in games? I haven't tried any yet.

Looks pretty plain with just the diffuse. Do the normal/spec maps apply as is or do they use different methods?

I set up my new PC with all my most commonly used open or free software.

This list may be handy for someone wondering what programs to use to work with Eduke32, or at least for me firing up a new PC again some day ^_^

I suppose this as good a place as any to post this:

MakeHuman, an open source modeling and rigging program, recently (I'm not sure when) changed their license to be CCO. Previously, there were restrictions on the use of the exported model (you had to basically rebuild it to use it in things like the HRP, if I recall correctly).

The program is also out of the beta/alpha stage I remember it being in the last time I was looking at this type of stuff.

Sounds like good news. I'll have to google search the program again. I don't remember if I was impressed with it or not last time I checked it out.

How would people feel or receive a full set of tutorials from the very basics to the most advanced stuff? I'm planning on doing that with english and spanish subtitles... Sometimes it's easier to learn if you watch someone else do it for you.

My browser must be too old. The smartnormal home page is blank.

Davox: Make a tutorial or two and see how people like them. I'm sure you have had the displeasure of watching some truely horrible tuts on youtube where the person did not prepare properly and makes mistakes and excuses for things. It would have almost been better if they didn't make it. If enough of us think you have a good style then I say go for it.

I would really really want to see updated tutorials with example code for the con coding Wiki.

Don´t know, what Browser you are using, but it works fine with latest Firefox here.

Here is an older version running on Flash:

Use 'NPherno's .md3 Compiler' to check what the first frame is by importing the object into the program. It might be blank and you'll have to name it.

Really inspiring awesome work Cage! How long does it typically take to do an average sprite like a bush?

if I remember right there was a art utility that would be able to tell you what map files a certain art tile was used in...does anybody remember this or was it a fever dream?

Ahaha. At first I was like what? But then remembered that I've added this feature to find and view freshly created HRP textures ingame.
