Normals in MD3 are a little arcane to deal with compared to other model formats, so some tools don't deal with them properly. What exporter are you using? Maybe we can get that fixed so that your process is more streamlined.
My process has been a little different to others, and may seem a little ass backwards, but its got me the best results when exporting from 3DSMax.
I make the mesh in 3DSmax and export it as a .obj.
I load the obj in to noasis and export it as an MD3 with uv's flipped.
I then load the MD3 into md3 compiler, and name the frames and reset normals.

I was going to make a new thread for this, but it is relevant, if it becomes a massive pain in the butt I will move it.
I will be making a new model at the weekend.
Because I'm not making them as quick as I would like, I am giving everyone else the chance to vote on the next model to maintain some buzz in the thread.
Dont waste your time with med packs, these are nearly ready (Apart from atomic health, I wont be doing this now).
Props / Switches / Weapons Only (I'm seriously poop at people and organic things at the moment, but it doesn't mean I wont contribute these in the future.)
You have until Friday when I come on and say STOP.

Digging this up because I've encountered problems again in Duke 12:12 and Midnight Arrival.
If the model is OK, is there something about the map design where it is used, then?

[EDIT] Correction : it's tile1221 CRANEPOLE in these screenshots.

[...] genericpole. The latter's model seems to have some issues (too short?) as can be seen in Roch and Dogville2012, but I didn't have an extensive look into that yet.

I did a quick check of the genericpole sprite and model in a test map. Sized at player height they look the same.

Good decision; I think we can all agree that the Atomic Health model is as good as it gets.
If we start in E1L1 and go logically you already did the C9 canister, which looks great. Then in that same area there's the skycar, which isn't a bad model and far away, and the pistol clip, which isn't bad either and hidden. Fence is also good, so that leaves the spinning fan, which is indeed starting to look old. That's where my vote would go!

Looking at those screens, I forgot how wildly different HRP looks from the original textures.

The current one doesn't look too out of place unless you were using the trunk for something besides a tree trunk (which I assume a few user maps do since it is just a greyish brown stick). The top is fine, the trunk is a little too different.
There is always room for improvement in the humanoid models (babes, robots, easter eggs [Indy, Luke], monk, and jury) However, those are not a weekend project and will undoubtedly cause criticism and frustration.

Yeah the fan's a good candidate, but then again so is the palm tree, (and also tree 2, which has an identical model to tree 1 even though the sprite is completely different).
Didn't someone make a really realistic palm tree a year or two ago that wasn't too high on the polycount? What ever happened to that?

He said nothing organic! People and trees are like the definition of organic!

Says the author of the Atomic Health model. But it is good.
#3559 Posted 19 February 2013 - 05:28 PM
The fan is a good candidate for remaking. At least a year ago I was looking at the model in one of my maps and hated the off-center skin for the fan blade hub and I tweaked it for my own use.

I would also like to see a new palm tree... but yeah that is organic.
I wouldn't mind a new dome light (0551) (siren light) the current one is pretty bad, and the animation is off, only the part in the middle of the light should spin.

Your doing health pickups so next logical thing is the armor pick up.

Armor pickup would be a good first step towards organic things since it would be the torso of a male.

#3564 Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:58 PM
I disagree about doing the armour, since the model already looks ok. If the palm tree is out then I'll stick with the rotating fan.

Yes, it makes a lot of sense redoing models in the order they appear in game or, even better remake the models that are more used in the original maps first. Is there a way to know this?
#3566 Posted 21 February 2013 - 04:14 PM
OK Its Friday.
Made an early start on this one, pretty bare high poly so far, will be a bit more detailed tomorrow.

Looking good already. But the broken fan texture seems to have X shaped brackets rather than a single vertical one.

I've been away from the forums busy on another project, but I'd just like to say how great it is to have someone like you working on the HRP. Thanks so much for your time and contributions 
#3569 Posted 24 February 2013 - 12:48 PM
A serious question. Should I resore the old pistol hands? I don't think I can make the new ones look any better and I'm not entirely convinced that they look good enough. Or maybe someone can make them look better?
