compiling problem

[Johnny]

Hey when ever I try to do the fake cell shading on a model and compile, it starts compiling then it gets to the last animation and says that an error happend and closes. Does anyone know how to fix this? O yeah Im using MS3D.

 

[!XxShAdOwxX!]

What does the error say...

 

[Johnny]

"ms3d.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

 

[Sin Goku]

Which method of fake cell shading did you use? MDLs don't support all settings you cah select in ms3d. In addition, what's the polycount?

 

[Johnny]

Ok for the cell shading part im doing the one where you duplicate the model then do the fat boy thing.The polly count is 1898.

 

[Sin Goku]

Fat boy, the inverse faces, then black texture on it?
There is another one where you make the fatboyed part "shine". Which one?

 

[sexyasian86]

well, it's most likely because the animations don't match the skeleton. that's why most crash ms3d.

 

[Johnny]

First one, fat boy, the inverse faces, then black texture on it

 

[Sin Goku]

Normally that should work.
hmmmmmm...
Are you sure the black texture you use for the fatboyed part is in a fitting format and 256 colours?

 

[Johnny]

Yeah it is.

go buy a decent modeling program? wait for milkshake 2? i dunno...its all so...simple...

 

[Johnny]

Is there a model complier I can download?

 

[Sin Goku]

There is. Look for "studioMDL.exe" in google or in the forums. And about the model: If you'd like, you can send it to me via mail, I'll have a look then, cause this sounds strange. Check your pms.

 

[Almighty_Gir]

none that are any better or worse than what comes in the program your using. go to www.discreet.com and getthe trail period of max 6. its far superior.

 

[Sin Goku]

Another modeling program won't fix a compiling problem. And you have to pay for max after the trial period. And Milkshape is enough for modeling in a Half-Life if you don't want to get a quality which could be sold. And for beginners MAX is a kinda overkill. Just stick with ms3d for the beginning, and send me the model to fix

 

[Johnny]

O never mind it turns out that there was a problem with my black texture but thanks guys for helpin me! O yeah how do you do the way where you make it "shine"?

 

[Sin Goku]

The shine thing isn't supported in HL.
But I think you could try it with chrome and transparency... but that is just a thought of me, untested...
