I cant get it ingame, dont have hek. And just check the announcement forum about the avatar, all you do is go to your profile and find an image on the net which is not too big and stick it in.

This project looks really cool, and I'd like to help as best I can....

I have little to no experience in 3d graphics though, but I'd like to help, I think I'll work on the bridge for right now if that's alright?

I'll show you guys what I've got later today, and then you can.. help me out with it considering my lack of skills with this....

what map

Mystification · Post by **Mystification** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 2:39 pm

Alright got a little bit of stuff done, I had to keep messing with it to try and get it better just so my first 3d image wouldn't be completely crappy...

There's still alot of stuff I need to do, like textures and stuff, plus I'm wondering how you guys suggest I do rails, if any at all are necessary, up to guys, I'll try my best to do what you want... And I can try and put holes in the wood if necessary, I went for a curved, slanted type bridge and this is what it looks like so far:

Side View:

Front View:

Overhead View:

Is hte angle to much or not enough? And I repeat again, it's far from finished, I just wanted a little feedback, and wondering if I was doing it to suit your guys fancy... And what about the length?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 2:43 pm

I would do rails by lofting some splines, then you could re use the spline to create an animation path if you wanted. And if you press P in the viewport you took the screenshots in, you will get a better screen shot. If you are using 3ds max then press f9 and you take a render.

Mystification · Post by **Mystification** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 3:52 pm

I'm using gmax, and... you may have forgotten I was new to this, maybe not I don't know... But either way I don't know about animation paths... CAre to explain it to me?

theguy2042000 · Post by **theguy2042000** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 5:47 pm

it looks nice but theres a problem we can't get it into 3dsmax because gmax can't export to anything

Mystification · Post by **Mystification** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 6:12 pm

Maybe there's a plug-in or something?

I'll look later for one...

And I got handrails, I found some decent textures, but I don't understand how to use them on this program... There's still a couple things I want to do and then I'll hand it over for you guys if I can find some plugin for gmax to let it export to a better filetype than the one it does....

theguy2042000 · Post by **theguy2042000** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 6:46 pm

dont waste your time there is no exporter

Mystification · Post by **Mystification** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:18 pm

The version I downloaded can export as a .P3D, is max3d able to work with that filetype...?

theguy2042000 · Post by **theguy2042000** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:22 pm

no i already knew that

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 1:49 am

You can get an md3 or obj, but i qutie like md3 exporter for gmax and the md3 importer for 3dsm.

theguy2042000 · Post by **theguy2042000** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 10:17 am

well if you can get it into anything that 3dsmax can import its good
