Why are the black areas so dark? It looks like they haven't been textured at all.

They have, it's just the middle ribs do not use the texturing right, as the very back ribs do. One of the reasons I'm considering changing the rib cage back to normal ribs.

Hm. If you don't mind, could you post a 3DS before you try converting it?

Ok, I've redid the neck, now to anyone who downloads, this is not completly finished just yet, but I though I would see what needs to be done with before I do finish it. The only problem I can see at this point would be intercection of the ribs and the main body, so anyone who does anything to it, please fix that with Max if you can, doing it all in Wings would take me another year.

Ok,

*writes down on an invisable notpad

Any other grumbles, gripes, thoughts about the new neck?

First post, second page - the eye comment under the screenshot I made.

Can you please do it?

No neck gripes.

No neck gripes.

Better? As for now I'll leave the redness of the eye as is, until I get ingame screens, than if you still don't like it, I'll change it.

*goes to whip up a quick pof of this to see it in game*

EDIT: Umm. None of the veins are in place, and the engines are waaay off to the bottom.  Doesn't seem to have converted to 3ds correctly. f you cloned the ribs, make sure you used copy and not instance, or the wings equivalent, because instane only ever leaves one in max,for me atleast.

Dum.....dum......dum.......dumdum......dum.......dum.......dum ........dumdum........dum.......dum...

Way better far as I'm concerned. Now it's the ominous "You said something?" eye.

[Taristin]

Ok... This mdel doesn't work at all in MAX. It has 8-12 copies of chunks that are untextured, and there's no spikes, the entire mesh is in many many segments....... I guss wings oesn't knw ow to export to MAX formt. :/

EDIT again: After deleting 10 copies of the same ein, and joining the entire mesh (of about 40 objects) te poly count comes to 8055
There's gotta be another format besides wings.

Ok, now get an animated glowmap of Sauron's eye and slap it on there

I'm sorry Raa, I thought I put a 3DS file in there, not a Wings, guess I messed up when I updated it. Here is the 3DS version. And BTW, the engines won't be inplace, I just have them down there to put on last, a ribs floating above the main model  as well..

No no, it *was* a 3ds file, but it converted badly. Like, the red veins were untextured, and max says there's no UV data there. And there were several copies of some parts oer eachother. 10 for the red vein in the back alone.

15 for the main body, as well as each engine cube, each vein, each rib...   Wings must not be able to output to 3ds vey well.

[WeatherOp]

Hmm, I exported to 3DS then to Cob, converted and got this.





Sorry about the small size, but the size wasn't set in POFCS and this was half as big as the "Bat"

The only problems I got were that modelview didn't like me not texturing the other side of the ribs. So, I'll fix that and it shoud be fine. However ingame it looked great, but once again don't pay attention to the lower right front spikes.

[Taristin]

Yeah... that doesn't look *anything* like how it looks in MAX.
