Rodger Wilco came through with a variation to the shader, and now his helmet glows brightly in the dark. I love this. Thanks RW!

I still use "Milkshape", and if I need a more organic mesh, I use "Hexagon", Then import it into Milkshape because "Hexagon" does not suport .x format.


Here's a WIP shot of my next character. It's going to be a generic soldier that can be used for anything. (Non-specific military branch).



I messed up the extrusion on the leg, so that will be fixed next. I also found a nice "free" military boot mesh on "Turbosquid". I'm considering using those instead for the leg as well, or do them simalar anyway.

This is an exciting time CP

I always thought your previous characters were pretty good, but could tell by your posts on them that you never felt happy. Now you seem much more comfortable and are turning out excellent stuff ^_^

True, I made those like a year, and a thousand models ago. I've learned a lot since then. And decided to try my hand at some serious character modeling for you guys, Then, on to some guns.

I know folks like all my "Free Stuff" but honestly, That stuff, I breeze through, and knock it out in bulk. So it's not truly an expression of my best work.

But I do try to make it look pretty good. but hey, it's "Free". Know what I mean?

Nothing wrong with your stuff CP. I did a (rather harsh, but I think honest) review on PW's game for the simple reason I thought the media looked top notch custom work by PW in the screenshots. So jumped on the demo and gave it a go, only to find out it was pretty much all your stuff lol

Can you upload the raw MS3D file? I'm trying to get this into FBX, and reverse engineering X always always ruins the animation...

And exporting from milkshape makes a broken model that crashes the program...

Nomad Soul: Hell yeah it does!, Sweet! Glad you found it useful bro.

Well I ended up trashing the first build ( Could not get the leg straightend out)

But this one is more on the mark.



With this base mesh, it will be easy to extrude packs and gear from the body. Still got some tweaking to do.

CoffeeGrunt: Sorry bro, all I have is the original .obj file I used for mapping, and the .X file. I use a Template MS3D file with the biped, and I dont save the changes, That way, it's ready for my next project when I need it.

Nomad Soul,

Thanks for the screen shot. It really is something how far FPSC has come since I joined. And the level design looks pretty good too!

Tested it out, and I had the same thing happen. For some reason it's gliching when he hits the corners of a waypoint. I tried rigging him to a differnt biped (a newer one). Same thing.

I am going to test him in an earlier version to see if it's an issue with the new upgrade. People have been sending me e-mails saying that after they upgrade, a lot of the older stuff is not working right for them. For one reason or another. But it all focuses around textures not being read, and animated entities. I'll let you know if I find out how to fix the waypoint glich.

The strangest thing CP is he only seemed to do that forward flip when turning left and he never did it once the other way lol

Please note I used the follow.fpi so that may be the trouble ??

Edit: The other thing I noticed is that he is scaled via the fpe. This may cause bounding box issues ?? Please excuse any/and all my ignorance, as I'm out of my depth regarding Characters

So how did you stop him going into grenade attack to be able to watch him walk round the room ??
Removing his shoot fpi just makes his right arm fall off and he locks in place

Edit: I tried the coward10.fpi also and he still forward flips when turning right. Actually can do it turning left also on closer inspection.

It reminds me very much of what can happen if a root bone is deleted, where the skeleton loses it's T-Pose orientation?

Hmmm. The helmet won't glow for me, even though I downloaded the redone textures

Do I need a new shader?

This is an excerpt from an e-mail from Rodger Wilco. This will do the trick!


[quote]all you need to do is edit the shader file (bumpbone.fx in the ps_2_0 folder.)


Find this line:
// float4 selfIll = specmap.w * diffusemap;
and remove the slashes commenting it out;
float4 selfIll = specmap.w * diffusemap;


Then find this line:
float4 result = 1.0*diffContrib +1.0*specContrib + ambContrib;// + selfIll;
and remove the slashes and semicolon;
float4 result = 1.0*diffContrib +1.0*specContrib + ambContrib + selfIll;


Ta-dah! Self-illumination in all its glory!
As you can see, it was in the shader already, just commented out, probably for compatibility with the stock characters, as they don't have any self-illumination in their specular alphas (and thus become fully bright since auto-generated alphas are usually completely white.)
