Title: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: MishkaL1138 on May 03, 2016, 07:11:12 pm: This is not to teach you stuff! It's to show what I'm learning. For example, just now I finished...

A CROSSBOW!

Some more pics (just 2 and one that you've seen already ^ over there) (http://imgur.com/a/bkZV9)

Tips? Thoughts? Donations? *rattles a can with coins*

Post by: LigH on May 04, 2016, 03:30:17 am: /me tips Mishka for a few more candles to have the scene lit.

But it looks quite credible already.

Post by: MishkaL1138 on May 04, 2016, 03:17:10 pm: I did another thing: a hatchet! (http://imgur.com/a/gtJ0s)

I know PlaneShift does not need new models for preexisting items, but I like making them and I learn a lot out of it. Maybe the next item I'll do is something that's using a placeholder at the moment.

Post by: Tuathanach on May 12, 2016, 09:41:34 am: Hey looks good. Always good to see folk trying 3d modelling. One thing for textures is make them look less clean. Try adding dirt, grime , scratches, dents etc. I found out that only after doing some things and then being told that they could look better

Post by: LigH on May 13, 2016, 01:05:52 am: The metal already looks well used; just the handle was freshly replaced. ;)

A friend suggested blood on the blade, lol. But you can do a lot of stuff with the Burn tool in Photoshop. I'm starting to look into higher detail (and polycount) modeling, trying to double the poly count.

Post by: jemima on May 22, 2016, 04:27:10 pm: Wow.!! Looks great.!!
Love to see you ended up with a nice looking model.
Can't wait till I see some of your models in-game. :P

With a few purry licks,

Jemima

Post by: Venalan on November 14, 2016, 05:43:39 am: Mishka recently gave me the files for the crossbow which I hope to get added to PlaneShift as soon as possible.

Post by: MishkaL1138 on November 14, 2016, 05:48:29 pm: /me dusts the thread off after the last visitors trudged in uninvited

Thought I'd try my ~~hand~~paw at this again, so here's part of a small project I'm working on:
(http://i.imgur.com/Rr12fJi.png)

I like this piece because it's got that Resident Evil 1 texture look, doesn't it? Kind of like something you'd find in a manor after being forgotten for 100 years.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Illysia on November 14, 2016, 08:28:30 pm: The texture looks good, does it have a normal map or is the texture just that detailed?
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: MishkaL1138 on November 14, 2016, 09:04:26 pm: It's just that detailed. I don't know how to do normal maps. But if you'd like to try your ~~paw~~ hand at making another texture with a normal map, feel free to give me your email so I can send you the model.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Illysia on November 15, 2016, 09:25:09 am: I have to find a way to do that first. I think my Maya is too old to make normal maps in it and the only program I learned to make them in is Mudbox which I don't have. :/

Not sure what you need to do to get the student version, but give it a whack ...

Post by: Illysia on November 15, 2016, 09:33:07 pm: Usually you need an active .edu email to sign up but mine is long gone.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Rigwyn on November 15, 2016, 10:01:38 pm: Hmm... I see that for a while, it was possible to get one by applying online for canadacollege or californiacollege, but these tricks no longer work. (Canadacollege might still work, but there's a $50 application fee.) I don't think it's really worth all this hassle for a trial account. If a person really wanted to beat the system, they would probably do something else like try to download a list of licenses or something or look for a "patch" that fixes this requirement. Not sure if Autodesk products "phone home" or not. I think Autocad and Revit do each time you log on. If that's so, then their other products probably do too. Better to just pay the fee or learn to use a freeware product.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: MishkaL1138 on November 16, 2016, 05:17:22 am: Well, actually, my AutoDesk/CAD license is linked to a @gmail account. Don't knock it 'til you try it. I'm sure you could get something.

When all else fails, go blender :P
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Izzabella on November 16, 2016, 05:33:27 am: Both items look good. Can't wait to see the crossbow in game. Good job Mishka! \\o//

Student certificate is as good, for example for github student so its not always necessary.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: MishkaL1138 on November 16, 2016, 07:01:59 am: Since this is my learning thread, I'll ask:

Does CrystalSpace/PlaneShift handle well smoothed meshes, or does it have to be all blocky?

Cheers.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Illysia on November 16, 2016, 10:31:05 am: I imagine it depends on how you do it. If you smooth it in a way that creates more polys you will need to watch your poly count.
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Volki on November 16, 2016, 09:43:41 pm: Crystal Space can't handle as many tris as modern engines.

Post by: Sirial on November 22, 2016, 03:36:42 pm: Is it like this because you are holding it in the right hand and it is a bit oversized?
I thought mishka made a crossbow not a portable ballista. ;D

Edit comment: Thank you Aeghiss i wrote it from the phone so i didn't double checked it :P
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Aeghiss on November 23, 2016, 03:32:14 pm: *Aeghiss whispers : "Ballista Ani, Ballista !"

Well, that's a nice thing anyway. Even if having a temporary scale problem, it still announces crossbows to be available rather quickly. :D
Title: Re: Mishka's 3D learning thread
Post by: Venalan on November 23, 2016, 04:39:11 pm: I've been learning how to added art into the client using Mishka's crossbow as my tool. We have worked together and now have a final model I'm in the process of trying to get into PS so this can be in the next update.
