[QUOTE=HyperTails;17755376]Jesus christ it's bright.[/QUOTE] Yeah I Need To Tone Down The Phong, And Spec Map :P I Just Put It In To Get It Done Quickly As This Was My First Rig (Kudos To Mariokart64n's Tutorial)

Dudee.....if you finish this it's gonna be my first NPC tht isn't a piece of crap.

Looks nice ^^

Well Its Going Good For Ragdoll , But I May Have To Splice Her Hand Over To The Other Side To Get It Working As Alyx, Rebel, L4D Stuff (Which Ever Rig Is Easiest)

Please , only use capitals when needed. Apart from that , nice rig

Looks good, though the texture looks like it could use some work.

DO WANT. lillwasa hasn't released his version YET. I love this, so I wil be expecting a release this time. Dark Samus is awesome.

Too many good models in waiting right now... MNU stuff... Prawns, Arkham Asylum stuff, THIS, more Crysis stuff... Good Lord it's gonna be a downloading orgasm when all of it comes out.

AWESOME, keep up the good work!. Im looking foward to its release

cool, but I thought Dark Samus didn't have power boots? She had clawed feet or something?

wow, its been a while since i have seen this model.... [QUOTE=Dragoshi1;17763746]cool, but I thought Dark Samus didn't have power boots? She had clawed feet or something?[/QUOTE] that was metroid prime 2

And the Glorious Medrop shows up. This can only bode well. :)

So far the models come along good, just smoothed it out a bit, also attempting to get a npc version though its very hard as 3ds max is a pain in the but cause theres so many vertices, faces in the way of the bones, but if i hide the mesh i lose the guide for the bones lol. also im trying to darken the textures to match those of the actual game, not being super shiny :D [IMG]http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd194/davij086/Untitled.png[/IMG] Done the textures, i think this closely resembles the orignal (I suck at getting it right XD), also fixed the size and made it to around alyx's size.

nice one can't wait an you kno who i am also how do you make models??

AWESOME. Can't wait for it's/her release. She looks really badass. Also, does it have bumpmaps?

no. or at least when it ripped it didnt. or maybe it was in the dds along with the texture.... hmm... if it did have bump maps, they werent showing.

Hmm the one i used only used two textures, which were visor2, body textures. Ive made a normal map and will get onto doing a bump map.

[QUOTE=davij086;17790598]Hmm the one i used only used two textures, which were visor2, body textures. Ive made a normal map and will get onto doing a bump map.[/QUOTE] Source uses normal maps, and not bump maps. Besides, they are virtually the same thing, only one is in black and white.

Oh ok lol , just got back from school XD Hmm then surely i can use this 'Crazybump' got generate all the normal maps, and spec maps?? [IMG]http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd194/davij086/Untitled-1.png[/IMG] Almost finished just got to fix the boneweights, as they've gone wacky :P This is not the actual textures, i just toned the ambient and light colours to make it seem cooler and bring the normal maps to attention

[QUOTE=spartan117ak;17793034]Besides, they are virtually the same thing, only one is in black and white.[/QUOTE] I think you may be thinking of hightmaps not bumpmaps (which [i]are[/i] normal maps as far as I've been able to find).

normal mapping? bump mapping? height mapping? arent they all the same since they all give the same results?

Beats me all i know is that when i applied a normal map and bump map on the vmt it gave out the picture above :P Final thing before release is the Phymodel, i need to rework it for some reason it keeps making it come out random and makes her dance when she/it is spawned

Normal mapping does not really give the same results as bump mapping and a height map is only usefull for creating bumpmaps and it's also used ammong a normalmap to create a paralax shadder (RE:Twilight tech demo). Official paralax mapping support was also planned by valve, but they never implemented it in any release. I think they just cancled it.

i thought bump mapping and normal mapping was the same. i have been calling it the same thing for a while now. i must have mis-lead some people... my bad. whats the difference exactly? normal mapping makes the textures have lighting detail right (bumps of shadow when the light is hitting it at a certain angle)? what does bump mapping do then? does it work like an alpha map? im so confused because in the vmt, you put bumpmap when you wanna use a normal map. is a bump map a black and white version of a normal map? because i have seen some of those

Normal maps are pretty much more complicated, more detailed bump maps. I believe bump maps contain info for one axis, and normal maps for three.

It is still not done, but can be used to some extent, i will re-release it with better constraints when i've finished samus's suits that werent ported and the metroid prime 2 dark samus. (Which wont take long considering that all the suits i've put as smd but not rigged are roughly the same size) [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=81138][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=81138[/img][/url]

This model is a beta?
