Stargate Models

[the fonix232]

Hey!
I would like to have a question:
I'm using 3ds max, and I have a big problem.
I should import a material what should fit to one of an existing model's boxes. The problem is that this box isn't just lying there, but it was rotated to an almost 45° pose. How should I make this material fit the model?

You can use UVW map or Unwrap UVW inside of Modifier list

[the fonix232]

I use, but it still looks ugly...
By the way, selrak, could you tell me how to export the textures of the model into VMF?
I've tried with baking the materials (aka rendering them) but the final result was just something like when I cut some pieces from a paper...

okay the textures should be outside the model already but u want them to be vtfs not vmf k so you need vtf textures to start with hope it helped

In 3ds max use your texture but in format .tga, then, copy this .tga in steam/steamapps/username/garrysmod/garrysmod/materialscr (you need make this folder)

Open other folder and go /steam/Steamapps/sourcesdk/bin/ep1/bin

and draw .tga to vtex.exe this make a .vtf in garrysmod/materials
and then you need make a .vmt with the program vtfedit

PS: sorry for my bad english

[QUOTE=josepho93;18492287]rightio all i have been away most of my weekend and then week sorry bout that my parents did thanksgiving so heres some updates

kino = 20% coded
remote = textured but having trouble compieling it

so yea i have been working as hard as possible in the little time i have im on the laptop right nows so i cant display pics but the remote looks good so far the kino i still need to texture it

if anyone else also wants to have a go a texturing or can compiel the models and send em back i can start coding if i get that ancient chair model i might be able to start coding it and we can eventually get a nice pack going[/QUOTE]

Meaby you can use my Ancient Chair? What do you think? Only need is compiling for Gmod and better textures... If you want it, just PM me ;]

yea sure send it to me it would also be great if u could model a cool drone shooting cannon thing for the chair to control

[Ronon Dex]

For the people using sketchup: When you model with sketchup, it creates unessacary geomatry. Making it a high-poly model. So when you import to a .max file and compile it. That geomatry will still be there. THus when spawning the model it can take a while and possible cause a crash.

[josepho93]

dont worry ronan they are giving me the models and i am fixing the geometry lol

[Wilk]

Ok, I sent you Chair, Check PM

But we have never actually seen how they are shot, i think they are just in storage in those racks, get active, fly out of them, and exit trough that big hole, so he'd have to make something like a pentagon, with a lid that closes and opens when there arn't and are drones being fired.

Um...yes we do.
I can't remember which episode, but in the first episode of SGA the drone powers up and shoots out of the big hole in the ice. And some other time where we see that a hole opens for the drones in storage to fly out of on a city ship...can't remember if it was Atlantis or one of the other ones...
But, you are right still.

Thats what i said ;) We have never seen anything shoot them, meaning not something like a drone launcher.

Great, but, do the playermodels fit in? and would it be possible to put seats in, and that, like in the show, the pilots seat is lower that the backseat?

I was thinking it would be similar to the jet, [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=83371[/url] , but if you want you could make Ronon as the jumper instead of the door is opened, the cabin apart and clicking on the cab seat and closes and can be used to fly (at the time of closing the booth, the player is invisible, like the jumper).

[TheSniper9]

There is one big thing I have been seeing in all the models shown in this thread so far and that's you are all trying to model in to much detail, there is a fine line between what should be modeled in and what should be left for a texture and normal map. While its fine to want it to look nice with detail when it comes time to bring the model in to a game engine there will have to be MAJOR fixing to keep these models low poly or you will not be able to compile them for the desired engine. For a lot of the Ancient designed models any text and "lip" or panel detail should be left for a normal map to fake it. Just something to think about on future models.
