gingerbread house

Post by SparedLife » Sun Nov 05, 2006 6:13 am

Hi Spawn and all,

I was away most of last week but I did manage to work a little more on the texture conversion of the cabin this weekend in preparation for Christmas. I thought while I was doing this I would put my progress into a tutorial.
I'm no where near done but I do have the basics completed. I wasn't satisfied with the textures I showed you Spawn so I worked a little more on overlay mapping. Specifically the Bump mapping, Environmental mapping, and lastly the detail mapping. Since I already have tutorials on the Env and detail this was a good oppurtunity to add a bump mapping tutorial on my site.

To "SparedLife",



I just had a look at what you are working on for Christmas, and
I have to tell you, it looks fantastic, good enough to eat to tell you
the truth, hehe.

My wife used to make them every year for my son, and then after
Christmas he and his friends were allowed to break it, and start
eating it.

Believe me, yours looks just like my wifes gingerbread house,
certainly good enough to eat, never mind that it is going to look
fantastic when playing "Contract Jack".

Keep up the great work that you have always done!!!

Kudo's to you "SparedLife" !!!

Many thanks again, it is appreciated !!!

It amazes me how talented you and everyone else involved in
Mapping, Modding, & Skinning, for the "NOLF Series" really are!!!

Keep up the wonderful work that you do for the "NOLF Community"!!!

Long Live "NO ONE LIVES FOREVER",

Not much time this weekend but here's some more. All weapons and powerups are Christmas packages. I actually assigned a unique texture to each package in the weapons attributes. Didn't work for the powerup though, had to rename the model for them to work.
Red snowmobile with white trim and black skis

I have also changed all the Deathmatch models to Cate Action, Cate Casual, Isako, and the Ninjas. Somewhere around 35 and all have unique Christmas textures for skins.

Image

The mod package is about 11mb with all the Christmas skins. Still haven't finished the gingerbread house.

Ha,
You are helping, well sorta..Unity server {shhhh}. :grin:

Thanks for the offer. There have been plenty of volunteers (well they really didn't know) on the server. What I would like to do is test the models to make sure they work sometime soon. If I give you that part can you test it with a few people. Since it uses a modified modelbutes I can't join a game.

I don't really know how all that server stuff works myself, but I'll be glad to pass it on to eliteone and have her set things up so it can be tested out. Just email me (belladonna@sficlan.net) or catch me on MSN (roboandlaura@hotmail.com) and we'll get things going! :D
