HELP! SKINNIN PROB

[Blademaster]

i skined a model today and i only wanted one site blooded and it happens on both sides how to i make it only on one side ? like if i make blood on one fist it auto puts it on the other fist and i only want it on the one fist how do i do that?

 

[Almighty_Gir]

that means the person skinmapped half of the character and mirrored it. you need to reskinmap it. which will be difficult if youve never modeled/skinmapped before.

You may also dublicate the texture, put this in as a new material and just assign only one half of the model to it, so both halves use different bmps which allowes you to make the sides different.

ohhh so i need to duplacate the layer and only do one of the layers?

 

[RoshkoMasta]

Sin Goku, what a great idea there, really I couldnt think of anything better myself! }P-)
just select by faces or vertexes the actual area you want to have blood on, then regroup it with milkshape
then duplicate the Material, and make it bind to a copy of the current image it is binded to, assign the area spoken of(blooded in potentinally)
to that copy of that other material
then edit the new material to have blood

thats about it I think, maybe better explained?

and its not layers, its materials

 

[Blademaster]

ok i really dont get it

 

[Sin Goku]

Do you use Milkshape? If yes:
1) Decompile your model
2) Find the texture you would have to edit in the model's folder
3) Copy it, and call it like "texture2.bmp" or such
4) Open ms3d, import the model
5) Go to the MATERIAL tab
6) Click "NEW"
7) Select the just dublicated bmp for this material
8) Now, go to SELECT/FACES
9) Select one half of the body (or the parts you want blooded OR unblooded)
10) Assign these face to the new material
11) Export to smd.

Now, by editing either the one texture file or it's copy you can decide which side of the body you edit.

When done, compile the model again.

WOW ty ty so much

 

[Blademaster]

no! it does not work! i cant do it it wont work!

 

[Nuttzy]

it works if you do it right, read the steps again, and start over, if you follow them correctly you will have no problems,

now onto other things, dont double post, ill warn you next time,

 

[Sin Goku]

Please be more precise instead of telling "It doesn't work"
Which problem does occur?
a) It doesn't compile
b) It doesn't display ingame
c) If it compiled, did HLMV say that there were 2 textures , 1 pure, 1 blooded
d) Problems in Milkshape
e) Something else, please describe it then

 

[Blademaster]

umm well cause im skinning a BFP model so i can only open the toros or head etc at a a time right and i've DL alot of MD3 Viewers but i cant find one that i can view BFP models so its hader for Milkshape for me tho

 

[Sin Goku]

Q3 modeling?
Sorry, I don't know anything about this precise matter.

 

[niobe]

you nead to have an pk3 compiler, that is what the bfp model's are.

 

[Blademaster]
