Very much WIP

I have not, but I’m willing to give it a go. I can read up on it for now (at work atm), then give it an honest go this evening.

If you read the updated skinning tutorial, it’ll tell you about using the Asset Explorer and how to do the DXT compression stuff. It’s essentially the same process as doing skinning in vanilla SF4.

Right on, reading it now.

Hmm, that background theme is from Tenchu, is it not?
Anyways, it looks great! But I think you should give her some bangs!

mediafire preview? srsly?

Rokk · September 16, 2011, 12:22am

ups sorry, changed to imageshack

Augh · September 16, 2011, 12:43am

@extra yeah it is Tenchu, working on bangs actually ;D I can’t decide to drop the headscarf completely or not/how far “Tenchu Ayame” to go.

This UV seams error I was whining aboot before is pissing my ass off, it’s still cropping up. Whyyyyyy.

Relax dude clam down and try again, you will get it eventually. ;)Don’t let them see you sweat, keep your cool8-)

Meh solving it by just remapping and stitching UV seams is easy, but fixing UVs is boring and takes time, gotta be some way to just stop it doing that in the first place.

Does seem suspiciously similar to STRINGCHEESE, possibly being caused on a similar basis.

Master_Coco · September 16, 2011, 2:38am

That’s awesome Chuck. I was going to take a shot at that same idea and then request it if I couldn’t do it. Looks great, and needed to be done!

Fenrir · September 16, 2011, 2:42am

VERY GOOD!!!

Augh:

Anyone encountered an inexplicable loss of correct UV coords on certain elements/poly strips before? It’s popping up pretty randomly, isn’t a mapping error, seems resistant to fixing through remapping the affected UV areas.

Strange as hell idd.

Edit: Seems to happen mostly around UV seams, so gonna test something. The affected stripe is definitely remapping to the area between the two halves of the headscarf. Those UV areas aren’t stitched though, and the badly mapped area is offset, why in ze hell mang. Will try various shit out.

Edit 2 Championship Edition: Yeah moving one half of the headscarf UVs to basically just occupy the same space as the other fixed it in this instance. In a lot of other cases that won’t fly though, so still will be good if anyone has any idea about the basis of this problem.

Ah not your fault. It’s a bug in my OBJ2EMG. My tool isn’t recognizing the the vertices at the seams as duplicates (vertices at the seams should be duplicates, with each pair having the same x,y,z position but different UV coordinates). I havent gotten around to fixing this yet but there are 2 solutions:

Use my EMG2SMD and SMD2EMG tool instead. You’re gonna have to do the bone assignments yourself though using whatever 3d program you’re using.
or 2) Split your mesh where the seams are and slightly move the vertices apart so that it doesn’t look split to the eye, but far enough that my program recognizes that they are different vertices.

@sloth: I think your tools are pretty much immune to negative criticism man, they are impressive as hell already. But if it’s useful feedback to you that’s good too. I’ve found some workarounds in the meantime, mostly by just reorganising UVs to be less broken apart, I’ll try and keep the method you described in mind for future geometry, and see what works from here on too. Bone assignments still scare the bejeezus out of me, but I’ll have to mess with that sooner or later (static hair is boringgg).

Back to 3DS with me.

Edit: Crazy stuff. In some cases, breaking the mesh (I use 3DS Max, using the detach function to break the geometry to a seperate object, following the same “parts” the UV mappings are using) fixes the problem, other specific parts prove completely immune. Kinda interesting.

EcKo_Zero_Cool · September 16, 2011, 3:38am

everybody has been doing amazing stuff.
good shit

Here is another I made, bit more detailed, staying with the white base color:

So I wrestled with one of the backpack buckles for like 6hrs and eventually I could see the matrix and was like screw this.

Semi-buggy (texture ugly bugs, not the crashy type of bugs) first iteration cause I’m out of inspiration and drive for the moment. Just some hardware and a haircut for now, 10 flavors. They’re like the originals! Lazy modding is fun yes? Try and enjoy anyway.
