[quote="STORMHAVEN"]So I downloaded 3d software again earlier this evening, and thought i'd try chucking a new skin in game so you can all see it is possible ,albeit time consuming. I know a lot of people will take the piss and look at it and say it looks awful, yes, I agree with you, but i'm not going to put time into modelling something good, yet anyway, let me get back into 3D stuff at least lol Few points 1. I've not done any 3d modelling in over 10 years, not even had it installed in probably just as long 2. I've not done anything soma server or client side in probably 12-14 years 3. Yes the model is awful, I just rushed the shittest thing I could so no one could say I took it from another game lol 4. Forgot to turn AA off which is why the pink / colour on the edges has gone to shit and got the positioning off on pretty much all the frames but it's just time consuming and very boring. I've done all angles in attack mode, not going to bother doing any animations as the model itself is dreadful. This took about 2 hours if you take out the troubleshooting I did with the BMP > SPL tools, last time I did this the mass spl tool didn't even exist lol Will probably chuck a quick monster together another night again to show it's possible to make new skins start to finish.

[quote="CHOJINE"]If you are cool sorting out animations I can model a few weapons etc. and send them to you, have a bit of experience with maya / 3ds max from a prior job :). Also happy to use your prefered software of choice, C4D etc. Will make a sword this weekend with this as an inspiration.

[quote="LUPISCUS"]Grande Saxon Sword.. nice! any with green stripes pls ? ;p[/quote]

[quote="ADATH"]Good job storm it's great to see it's possible! [/quote]

[quote="STORMHAVEN"]Cho, if you whack a camera on a circle spline and keyframe 12.5% increments focusing on the sword, 8 frames give you your 8 angles then export to jpg. From there you just have to edit the bmp generated from the relevant spl, which is the time consuming bit However I did noticed with this new tool, you can pick number of frames, new recoloured weapons are 24 not 32 like ripper etc If you changed to 24 frames it wouldn’t take as long Ideally you’d have a character template in place to work out where to erase the image in each frame etc. In regards to attacking animations, one swing is all that’s needed, again use the camera +12.5% increments to generate the 8 angles[/quote]

[quote="CHOJINE"]Awesome, cheers dude, will have a crack this weekend at home =] If a few of us get to grips with this the results could be amazing. [/quote]

[quote="STORMHAVEN"]The stuff I did before was ok, I spent hours modelling the first one (1h sword) to then get it in game and realise you can’t even see all the detail lol Just takes time but if you can use 24frames not 32 that will save a good amount of time.[/quote]

[quote="DIOS"]Good work gents !! Look forward to seeing what you can do. [/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]It’s only been nearly 18 years but could do with a new skin for exorcist spear. Bad form to have two t spear skins next to each other - rough and exorcist 🤭[/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]so many designs from fantasy and manga/anime that could be used. would be awesome to see. unfortunately i cant draw to save myself lol[/quote]

[quote="STORMHAVEN"]If anyone done any 3D modelling it’s a piece of piss after that, don’t even need to be too detailed lol It’s been a long time since I’ve done any minus that quick one but if anyone wants any advice and get started on their own be happy to help [/quote]
