Challenge #1
« on: May 11, 2004, 04:27:39 pm »
Todays Challenge:

1) Create a bowl mesh and texture. Think of it as a mixing bowl.
1a) No animations are needed for this.
 
2) Figure out how to convert it to Crystal Space sprite3d format.
Wheel of Wishes will be of some help there.

Upload your finished models to the LWW and post a link here.  Best couple of models will be made part of PS ( if you want them to, yadda, yadda copywrite, etc ).

If anybody needs a mesh converted to .spr and can give it to me in .3ds I can do that for them.  Here is a bowl with UVs loaded into the viewmesh for CS:



Or if you just wanted to draw a bowl, you can download this mesh and texture base here:

    http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload5/bowlbase.zip


I cannot draw myself, but will try to provide models and UVs for any future challenges so anyone who wants to try can.

Looking real good. Tried out a couple and they look very nice. One thing is that they are super huge in our unit system.  I had to scale them by about 0.01 to get the right size.  Aside from that they look good. I will try to get a couple of in game shots with them soon.

Ya, well I though that might be a problem, but I realy have no refereance on what size it anything should be? could you give me a cylender that is about 6ft (about the size of a char) so I can compare my models to it, ( .max prefered)
Or could you tell me how big to make this stuff in 3DsMax generic units? (I?m using max6 & haven?t changed the unit preset?.) or do you go according to the scale units, (meters or ft./in.?) :]

The guide is very useful, installed the plug-in, but it gave me an error - FileStream Cannot create (file path)
I even made a bowl...

When you are specifying the filepath, make sure you add .spr to the filename.  So when exporting the object, it would be like:

Code: [Select]
c:/planeshiftart/bowl.spr

I\'ve been trying to make some textures on the models Zeraph made, but I haven\'t been very succesful so far. How do you make those designs? Anyone know a good tutorial for creating new textures? Also looking for some free guides to design simple objects in 3DSMAX6.

Thx

While the best way to make textures like my bowl textures is to use PaintShop & make some designs like sharp poky things any ware, then just use the Kaleidoscope tool, Go to (Effect > Reflection Effects > Kaleidoscope) in PaintShopPro8 ) & then set the number of petals (& keep the Horizontal&Vertical Offset to 0) & then click the Eye with the Lock on it ?Auto Proof? & then you can see what it will actually look like & you can Spin the ?Rotation Angle? around to whatever you think looks the best!

That?s just a quick Thing about patterned textures, I used PaintShopPro8 & it is nice :)

About 3DsMax6, Go to (Help > Tutorials?) & read all about making 3D models? The tutorials are excellent, start out with the Fundamental tutorials first I would suggest.   :D
