Skin for Inesane Wizzard?

[Joey Stalin]

Please tell me that someone is making a skin for the Insane Wizzard. It is a little undramatic when he looks just like olof from the Thornlands.

 

[Hush]

Well, what about the old Dark-Apostle-Armor?
Didn't it looks pretty creepy?

 

[Crow]

Hehe yea, someone please change the poor old dude. Hell I'll try something if someone else won't.

There is a necromancer model lying around, unskinned and unanimated tho.

 

[Thothie]

Shall I ask if you can use this one?


Or do you guys still not take hand-me-downs?

Granted, the one I'd get you would not be quite so blue.

[Crow]

That looks like it could be awsome with a good skin

hes rather big for a wizard

mecha-low poly eh?

 

[Joey Stalin]

I like it. It is a hell of a lot better than the way he looks right now.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

This is Half-Life, Jester, not Half-Life 2. And I think most of the models in-game look pretty nice for Half-Life standards.

 

[Jester]

No shit it's half-life, i've been modding for it for years, mostly modelling. I know for a fact you can get some decent polycounts in the game.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

No **** it's Half-Life, I've been modding for it for years, mostly mapping. I know for a fact you can get bumpmaps in Half-Life and mods.

But do we need bumpmaps? Nah... won't be too good for performance either. Do we need models with as many polygons as the engine can take? Nope, because that won't be good for performance also.

 

[Vomica7]

bump maps are possible

doesnt look that good anyway :roll:

 

[ante_delonge]

Damli did alot of that stuff to... was it for TS? or ...
Anyways, it looked almost like HL2

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Yes, Vomika7, I literally said bumpmaps are possible. Then you drop by and say bumpmaps are possible.

Something's not right here

Edit: And those bumpmaps are amazing in terms of quality for Half-Life. Especially in the first pic, you can clearly see that's a bumpmap.

But nowadays, people are used to the ultra-sharp bumpmaps found in Half-Life 2, Doom 3, and Quake 4, or even the uber-sharp bumpmaps and parallax maps found in Serious Sam II and F.E.A.R.... so relatively speaking, the Half-Life bumpmaps don't look very good, if that's what you mean

 

[Thothie]

I also think you can only have bumpmaps on wall textures - not model textures (or at least, there's no internal function for it - maybe possible with some mod coding). Even the wall texture thing is kinda screwy, and requires the client set a cvar (r_detail or some such).



Free... Skinned... Animated... 692 Poly model... Going once... Going twice...

 

[Lanethan]

'Free'?

 

[Rauell]

Please devs, use that model..
and lanethan, Long time.. i doubt you remember me though.

 

[Kuroneko]

Detail textures aren't bumpmaps, they are detail maps. They are a greyscale image that is overlayed on a texture to show additional detail when up close, nothing like bump maps at all.


Also, I'd much rather use the necromancer model we have, rather than take a model from another defunkt project.

 

[Rauell]

May i ask why?
not to sound rude or anything, just curious.

Why what? Why'd we'd rather make our own than take others?

Isn't that kinda obvious?

 

[Thothie]

"Pride is what we have. Vanity is what others have."

Tis kew - just offerin to speed things along and save ya some work. '_'

Personally I'd rather save decent artwork than let it go to waste - but I'm not the guy who has to model for ya.

 

[Gurluas]

you know where damli is?

 

[ante_delonge]

I bet he's working.

 

[Gurluas]

well damli is evaan so...
