Post by: vadar_1 on March 16, 2002, 11:40:22 am: Sometimes people just forget to close their browser window, usually the case if they are running an operating system that allows multitasking, but their brain does not.

If a models going to be used in FS, its texturing must be done in TS usually.

Post by: Stryke 9 on March 16, 2002, 04:58:13 pm: I know. That's why the :p.

I've never successfully used TrueSpace for anything, but I have every other aspect of production cold.

...no specific thing you have to do? It just works?

Aw hell, does it matter? :D
[never looks at TrueSpace again]
Title: Why is it.....
Post by: Nico on March 16, 2002, 07:13:22 pm: hmm, no, nothing specific. you still have to use TS to convert it (and do hierarchy stuff ) tho. If you have TS1, you'll have to reapply the maps ( UV coordinates are kept during conversion, no need to worry about that), if you use a later version, everything is imported fine.

Ditto.

UVW-Unwrap is really hard to figure out though. You get faces everywhere and you can't tell what's what and where it's from.

That's why I use only UVW map. I looked at unwrapper once, didn't understand anything, closed the damn window and got back to the good old gizmos :nod:

Post by: an0n on March 16, 2002, 07:36:10 pm: UVW Map only lets you use some primtives projectors though. Still, my NodeShip came out quite well.

Post by: Nico on March 16, 2002, 07:40:55 pm: yeah, if I want deformations, I align the gizmo to the perspective view. not very friendly, but it works so... :)

That's good to know, since I really do not like TS's interface and would prefer to stay away from it. :p

Operator 1: Sir, a thread has gone from off-topic to on-topic on the Hard Light forums!

Manager: Hm, that constitutes a clear violation of the rules of existance. It's a shame, but we'll have to activate protocol 47a.

Operator 1: You're sure, sire? That's not reversible.

Manager: I'm well aware of the consequences, but divine law is divine law. You heard the Man when he said it, no topic will go from off-topic to on-topic on this universe. Activate the protocol.

* operator 1 and 2 look at each other and shrug *

Operator 1: Yes, sir!

* each operator starts to flip a key on his console. Meanwhile, on the HL forums... *

delta_7890: SPOOOOON!!

* the keys are flipped, and reality as we know is ended *
