thanks Floater
In other news - fixed somewhat the shoulders on the female mercs and the tights on the male mercs. Still need to work on the fingers for both, but ought to have a revamp on them soon.
Port a Garrus in civilian clothes, please.

I'm on it.
[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;25099400]So i tried making a new asari facemap for a character of mine using the tints and stuff somewhat based off Tela Vasir.
[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/alyssa.png[/img_thumb]
Then i realised that the ME2 merc armor textures are all shit and low res. compared to the ME1 armors and look dreadful in screenshots.
So i just spent (literally) my whole day rearranging the texture from an ME1 armor onto the merc armor.
Which involved fitting this:

onto this:
[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/origsheet.png[/img_thumb]
and the end result looks[I] fucking awesome.[/I]

Except the bumpmap is shit and makes it look shiny, might play with that a bit more.[/QUOTE]
Try this one?

That wouldn't fit the texture sheet, you made a bumpmap from the original ME1 texture.
The texture i'm using fits onto the second sheet, this is the bumpmap i have
[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/generic_diff_fuckery_norm.png[/img_thumb]
I'll probably tweak them at some point, it was my first go at bumpmaps using the plugin for photoshop so they're not perfect.
They also look really low-res for some reason from looking at them like that, any way to make them sharper?

If the bumpmap makes it look shiny, you need to modify the exponent texture and specularity mask (embedded in the normal alpha)
AS to the violation - do you actually have the folders created?
Lastly try opening the phys in max - make sure that everything is in there.

Max? I use MS3d, and everything is there... and the folders, it's compiling to the main models folder...
[quote="That help thread"]About:
Solution #1:
Open Half-Life Model Viewer ("Steam > Tools > Source SDK > Half-Life Model Viewer") and leave it open while you compile your model.
Solution #2:
Since the Orange Box related Source SDK update, it has been necessary to add a new parameter to its launch options for it to work. To add this parameter, do the following: "open Steam > Tools > Right-click Source SDK > Properties > General > Set launch options...". Now just add in "-engine ep1" (minus quotation marks) and click "OK".
Solution #3:
The general cause of this is because the Source SDK has just messed up. Try refreshing your Source SDK content ("Steam > Tools > Source SDK > Refresh SDK Content"). If you still have no luck, try having HLMV open while compiling ("Steam > Tools > Source SDK > Half-Life Model Viewer"). If you can't open HLMV because it keeps crashing, close down Source SDK entirely and then open HLMV before you try another compile attempt.
Solution #4:
Go to this directory: "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\(steam-account-name)\half-life 2\hl2\" and then open the file named 'Gameinfo.txt'. Inside you will see the word 'SteamAppid' followed by a number. (usually 220) Change this number to 215, then save the txt document and recompile. Please note that this number reverts to 220 whenever you play Half-Life 2, or a HL2 modification.
Solution #5:
If the previous solutions didn't work, then it could be caused by you using a different game as your 'Current Game'. (open Steam > Tools > Source SDK > Current Game) So if you are using a game other than Half-Life 2, then you'll either have to set it back to Half-Life 2 (recommended as this is what all my tutorials assume you are using), or change the 'GameInfo.txt' in the directory of the 'Current Game' you're using. To sum it up, goto the directory of whichever game you're using for the 'Current Game', then edit the 'GameInfo.txt' as usual.
Solution #6:
If you've had no success up to this solution, then it's probably caused by a faulty export or a bad mesh. Try re-exporting your SMDs, if the problem persists import your SMD into your 3d modelling application, check for any notable problems (strange-looking meshes, random joints etc. fix/delete where possible), and then re-export it back to .SMD.[/quote]

Oh...ooohohohho dear god...
I think he just means the quality of the bumpmap, seeing as you made it using the low-res shitty version of the texture.
I'll whip up my own in a minute, gonna do some skinning anyway.

I meant 'in a few hours', honestly.
And i have been having fun with tintmaps again.
[img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/test/helmets.png[/img_thumb]
Some are pretty shit but others (like the third one on the middle row) are sexy as hell. There's a lot of cool patterns for helmets you don't see or notice ingame.
There's also at least 3 awesome quality armor textures you don't see used ingame, too. Which means i can go nuts on the helmets and make them as pretty as i like.
Tune down the phong a bit.

Otherwise it's pretty fucking awesome
Any releases?

Nice, your Bump is better than mine, heh... I could have done it better with an actual model to apply it to to preview, but its cool, might try mixing CB with photoshop's bump map maker and see the results...
I would, but my crazybump trial ran out and i'm poor. Photoshop's nvidia bumpmap plugin works fine, it just requires a lot of tweaking.
also, i finished all of these helmets and made .vmts for all these armors.

Amazing work as always mate.
Any future plans for Matriarch Aethyta?
no but maybe someone will do it. Im still waiting on the liara model
I'll have a go at making her facemap, but she'll have to be in armor though, seeing as there's no casually dressed Asaris ported.
Casual outfits would be a cool thing to have ported, but Asari heads on female citizen bodies would still be pretty cool providing the hands are improved.

Almost finished with these.

The Black armor with the bright red trim looks amazing, granted they ALL look amazing, but I was wondering if it might be possible to request that that particular one be made with a NOD skin (Command and Conquer)
Just a request, if not, then nevermind.
