Hey Guys,
Sorry about the trouble with the psd files. I wasn't sure what format you
needed. I will make sure to do .jpgs next time. =)
I saw the part about the power of 2's, and I ran the numbers. But I didn't get
that it needed to be 512x512. I just thought it had to be even increments of
128. Sorry about that. I will figure 512 next time to make it easier. I was
kinda guessing cause I wasn't exactly sure what you meant.
Thanks for your patience! I am excited, thanks for putting in my model. I
didn't want to step on anybody's toes, so I thought I'd post the model to the
message board and see what you guys wanted to do with it.
Right On Guys, =) Happy Game Time!
Katie

You rule Katie!
Hey feel free to check stuff into SVN btw
That goes same for everyone (and if anyone needs a tutorial or fresher uper on
how to use SVN let me know)
I know i was makin a stink about organization not too long ago but so long as
it doesnt become a disaster area we should be good to go :P
Anyhow, i'll toss your railcar into the cavemap so you can see it in game if
you want to

Yeah np! (:
Also of note for everyone (I just told eric this the other day, sorry for not
mentioning it earlier)
Texture sizes have to be in dimensions that are powers of 2 (ie 256x256,
1024x1024, 512x128 etc are ok... 640x480, 55x90 are not)
The reason for that is that older or less high end cards don't support non
power of 2 textures, and the work around to make it work on such cards uses a
lot more video memory (which those types of cards are already low on).
So yeah, we just have to make sure all textures have image sizes which are
powers of 2 (but they dont have to be square)

Hey Katie thats a nice lookin mine cart!
You said you had textures for it too?
ms3d files dont embed their textures inside of the file but if you send them
over i'll toss one of these into the cave map (:

Hey Guys,
Here is a Rail Car model w/textures. I ran it through Milkshape and it looks
like it keeps the textures in tact.
Here it is attached.
Let me know what you guys think and if there is more I can help with. Otherwise
I was just thinking I'd work on misc models and see where I get.
Thanks =)

im hoping it'll work with maya, autodesk products seem to move to milkshape
better so my fingers are crossed :)

yeah thats what i did in c4d but it didnt translate correctly to milkshape

Probably have thought of this already, but you could setup material properties
that have a luminosity/glow effect for the object itself. Maya allows you to do
this. =)

thats funny eric
hey if you ever want to do shiny gems, a cool effect might be placing a gem
colored positional light inside of a gem like its giving off a secondary glow.
it might be too expensive an effect to use everywhere but shrug (:

yeah in the first cart i made, i had jewels that sparkled but had texturing
issues, i also like the idea of the cave being filled with
gems/diamonds/crystals but filling the carts up with rocks like they are just
mining the stone haha

I like the proposed art here, having those diamonds to just place
around would give the cave a great feel of prettiness.
