...btw, does my toon look like Lt Cmd Data, or is it just me?

Still trying to figure out which version of 3DSMax to use. Not sure which is the most compatible just yet, or if it even matters.

[Deinbeck]

No dumps to .obj or anything? I'm also kind of curious about the facial animation system. Not that I have anything neat planned, I just wanna play, see what's possible.

As far as I know, BioWare uses 3DS Max, version 8 - at least I saw that in some of the XML files.

As for model "dumps". well, there is already one tool from tazpn. I'm writing one myself, and hope to release a beta today - see here: http://social.bioware.com/project/41/

Basically, OBJ export of static models just around the corner...but OBJs cannot really support animated models or models with cloth meshes, so they will need a different solution.

At least you should be able to get non-animated props, placeables, buildings and other structures into a 3D tool very soon.

As for getting new models into the game - well, people are working on that, but those things take time, and we only started a short time ago.

Getting reskins of existing models is easy and doable today. Getting new non-animated models into the game should be doable within a week, but animated models will take a bit longer - there are no showstoppers (like we had with NWN2), just a bit of work that needs to be done.

Hey Adinos,



it would be useful to get a guide together as well on model structure, arrangement of meshes, hierarchy, specific dummies that are required etc.



Also poly-counts, texture naming conventions, max char limits etc.



Anybody started such a doc yet ?



Wouldn't mind contributing to it (worked on similar things for NWN1, and The Witcher)

cant wait to get somemoels in the game .

just wondering though.

What resolution textures should i be using?

I can create artwork in 3dsmax and models and skin them (though no pro yet) i just have trouble with planning the texture and use a relly big resolution to put all the cuts and pieces in



What is the NORMAL resolution for any kind of texture?

Ground

Armor

Face

Body

House

Weapon

???????



(yeah i used 1024x7.. a lot)



And Crazybump which is an insanely useful tool

I'll be happy to work with someone on a document like that, once I am 100% confident I fully understand the format - there are still things I am figuring out.

[ablaine]

Sounds good -- thanks Adinos.

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to help with typing up the document, reference checking, and what not. I have a bit of a technical background and I know my way around html, various wiki syntax, and LaTeX.
