Suggestion/Rant about Golden Platemail Helmet

[Veltex]

The only golden part of it is the gilded area for the eye opening and even the knight's helmet has that!

The darn thing is just slightly brighter and has a emblem on it's forehead!

So here's what I suggest to fix it and make it more unique;

1: change the texture to match Lord Vecilus' Armor

2 (optional): add a few more polys and give it a Winged Great Helm effect

also the Corrodinator should've been modeled like this:

/rant

I'm pretty sure modelers are very scarce here and believe me, if I could model/texture I would.

 

[Fegged]

Totally agree, even tho it's been years and everyone knows about it.

As most people are slowly progressing to max out, they tend to customize their characters alot for "style" (Which in my case is Gladiator Armor and Strawhat). Going for a gold-themed style there should also be a golden helmet colored gold not like a plain old helmet.

About the Winged Helmets i kinda can't agree that much, as long as they don't hit the poly limit. Ofc we would need another modeler to do so

The very reason as to why I made this post.

That winged helmet looks retarded, remove the "red feathers" and it will become a much better thing for looks imo.

As for the golden helmet stuff, there are other things with priority right now, not that i mind it having a new texture, it's just that the developing needs to be focused on more important stuff right now. You could always try and learn how to put textures into models, a few people from the community learnt it and started doing some nifty stuff with the currently existing models.

is this any better?

if I can find the textures for Lord V's armor and 'Golden' Helmet, i'll forward them to a few people who could probably at the very least try to replicate Lord V's armor texture pallet and retexture the Golden Helmet.

Have fun!

(Mind ye these have to be 256 color [8-bit].)

 

[Veltex]

Thanks!

Will forward to a friend so he can get to work on it.

Friend bailed out and said it was 'too hard' so I took matters into my own hand.

Saved as a 8 bit .bmp but what do I do to replace the existing texture in-game so I can see the end results?

 

[Thothie]

To do it proper, you'd have to recompile the model - which is complicated - but you can do it with JHLMV, which, depending on how the texture clipping went, probably won't fusk it up.

Keep in mind, when you're done, I'll need the full 8-bit bmp, and not any you may have exported from JHLMV, as it may clip it.

Imported my edited texture and it seems to work perfectly fine.


here ya go!

This link does not seem to be correct - perhaps it is your account link, rather than the shared link?

OOPS!

that should be the correct one

Well, that was fast. Now all that is missing is that "winged helmet".

JHLMV

Tip of the day: Solokiller's remake of Half-Life Model Viewer.

No more crash/hang-on-close. For the other boatload of fixes and added features, see the page.

 

[Thothie]

Yes, this will work, integrated...

...and that helps too.

Just wish their "attachments" panel did something. There's few things more frustratingly time consuming than trying to get an attachment into the right position through trial and error.

 

[Phosphorcracker]

For your corrodinator image

Yeah better copy andariels visage so we have another stolen model to worry about... Blizzard has quite the habit in shooting the balls of ppl not respecting their copyright.

I am sure you knew that. I agree that wearing a demon skull is fashionable.

 

[Thothie]

The coordinator isn't a skull though... Also, it predates DIablo 3 by a decade.

 

[Phosphorcracker]

For one Andariels Visage was also present in Diablo 2 what would date their claim to 2000, it doesnt always matter who was first. If they decide its their intellectual knowledge they will find a way to push that through. Not that they would bother with us anyway.

I just wanted to make a semi funny point on the origin of the idea behind the reference image. I wouldnt complain if someone puts effort into making a rad helmet for msc.

 

[Thothie]

But that doesn't look anything like our Coordinator either... Or do you mean someone proposed a reference image I'm not seeing?

Actually, the current Coordinator itself is on the list of suspect models, but it's Bioware suspect, rather than Blizzard suspect.

I do know the winged helmet linked in the top post is of Mount&Blade (Paradox) origin though.

edit: Oh wait...

also the Corrodinator should've been modeled like this:

...missed that.

Meh, skull with horns helmet is hardly copyrightable material, provided the design is original. Dun think I have anything like that laying around though. I suppose it might be possible to rip and tweak the skull and goat horns from the new dragon shield, but beyond my meager abilities.

 

[Phosphorcracker]

you are right that its probably not copyrighted. like i said i was making a semi funny point not to be taken entirely serious.
Anyway i tried for about 3 hours to get my head around Blender reproducing anything remotely close to a helmet and horribly failed. Iam not meant to be a modeler it seems.

 

[Thothie]

Meh, I can't do dick with Blender or any of those 3dsMax inspired modeling programs either... I can use Milkshape, as I suppose the interface is more intuitive to me, but I'm pretty pathetic even with that.
