The sky doesnt match the theme. theres no snow on the ground or anywhere else

Phaile · Post by **Phaile** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 5:48 pm

I'm trying to fix the bumps now but I keep getting a bit of trouble but I'm just gonna keep at it. And CptnNsan0 this is the first time I've tried to skin the sky so I know its got a lot more work and the ground is snow covered its just that the lightmap in these pictures is a little outdated and does not show the map at its best.

ah ok I seee. It sort of looks like a desert in the pictuers. try the containment lightmap or something.

interesting concept

Phaile · Post by **Phaile** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:15 pm

Don't worry antszy, you inspired me at first to run with that concept but I kind of plan to take it in a different direction.

I feel so touched

but as of right now there is a very, VERY good chance that I will not enter in the competition anymore. Unfortunately, I did not receive good grades on my report card and my parents took away my xbox until I bring them up. So, since last wendsday I've been skinning blind. (And it's hard!). One of my friends said he would take the time to take pictures for me though so I can see what im doing maybe once a week.

That's very unfortunate...But school and modding don't go together well

Anyway, I hope you're still able to enter...Remember, you've still go about a month left until the deadline...

I really like that for some reason.
The shader looks so nice on the Red individual.

WTTTFFFF... Ummm, lol, anyone wanna lend a hand? This whole hi-res grabbing thing isn't really workin' for me haha...

Using Yelo... and that 'autostitch' program from the tut a few pages back (that now I can't find...grrr)

And I get this... wtffff?

I'm sooo lost

you just need to mess around with a few settings. I had the same problem before. Just messaround and you will get it. also make sure you are using yelo's hi res screen cap button instead of taking all the pics manually.

Yeah, I did... I dunno, I'm not sure why it was freaking out before, it's still pretty hit or miss tho as far as grabbing the images and stuff goes... weeeeird... but I got a few decent ones I suppose.

I gotta mess with the whole POV settings orrr something tho :S

Did you freeze the game(left thumb + right thumb) before taking the pic?

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 11:11 am

Manually is better then they Yelo way a lot of the time. Also, some photoshopping is usually required.

I don't get your first sentence...

I still am getting problems with autostitch...

Tips:
1. Timefreeze
2. never go to flycam after 3rd person.
3. Look both ways before crossing theroad
4. Horizontal/ long straight lines < Vertical/ short lines

Example look how long the floor is horizontally.

It comes out deformed/circular

5. The above image is NSFW.
