I suspect such an effort would be an exorcise in community futility. I don't expect enough people can work 2 images in an efficient enough way to produce a usable .psd of all the height map data. I will not be leading such an effort. Your challenge is to prove me wrong.

Greebles PNG
Main Hull PNG

so my options are:

A) quickly duck sideways and take him out with a spinning kick.
or
B) take the claw on the face then roll on the ground and die.


I think I'm going with option B



Well in all seriousness, I might as well try. We're not loosing anything but my time so:

To anyone interested in giving the Colli's normal map a little love, please contact me via pm.
I'm not making a new thread for this, that will only happen if enough ppl reply to this message.

Luis, as you seem to be the only one already confirmed for this, would you be so kind as to send a pm telling me when you think you could start with it?.

edit: gotcha mjn.

[mjn.mixael]

Just to be clear, the most useful thing would be a .psd with different heights on different layers.. perferrably as just black pixels. From that we can tweak and make the normal map from the height map.

[Kobrar44]

In this case, wouldn't be vectors actually the most useful?

[Luis Dias]

****ing ****, damned ****ty ****. These maps are ****ing huge.

Havin' a ball though, don't worry.

And that's why we haven't gotten around to it yet!

I'm being somewhat creative with the tracing, if you don't mind. The traces as they are have little (read zero) connection with the mesh as is. So I'm correcting that as I move along (assuming the diffuse will also be "remade", perhaps by me if I still have the patience / guts).

[mjn.mixael]

Wat. We don't have the sources for the diffuse and are not planning on remaking it. The deal here was to trace the lines and make the normal map.. not retexture the whole thing...

EDIT: More specifically, we don't have the sources for any of it's maps. If you remake the diffuse, you have to remake the shine as well. So no. This is a bad idea.

[Oddgrim]

I agree with mjn here, without the source maps doing this is indeed a terrible idea.

[Luis Dias]

Well then, okidoki. Mind you though that my criticism stands. (and of course I was planning to do the shine maps and the glowmaps as well, those are the easiest once you get the basic traces that come from the bump mapping).

edit: I was not saying I was "reimagining" the whole thing. I am not. I was merely making some layers that were more context sensitive. The diffuse mapping only needed some corrections here and there. I started this once I saw the result in 3ds max and it sucked balls

edit2: Also, only the main hull maps would be affected by this, the greebles maps are absolutely fine as they are.

The link of the Colossus seems to be down.

The link of the Colossus seems to be down.

Naa... That was the textureless pre-alpha I guess.. The real deal hasn't been released yet!

[Kodachi]

Really? :/

I've seen a pic of the new Colossus floating around here somewhere, so I thought it was ready to be downloaded.

[Nyctaeus]

It's almost ready. Base mesh, textures and everything are ready but it won't be released 'till the normalmaps are finished. I think we must wait to MVP 3.6.14.

[Lc4Hunter]

Is there any chance to get the model just as the mesh?
Would love to take a look on it in max and (if allowed) to use it in another mod ;-)

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Why not just grab it from the beta 2014 mediavps?

[Lc4Hunter]

Well, haven´t realized its already in. Sorry for the request

[Lc4Hunter]

Sorry for posting here again, but has anyone still contact with ragingloli?
I wanted to ask him for the usage of the Colli and Sathanas in another mod but i got no answer (and yes, i´ve waited a while for it). 

[Galemp]

Uh... hey guys. I'm, uh, lurking and... well, it seems you would appreciate the source layered files for the Colossus textures.

I have them here for you.

[mjn.mixael]

Snagged, and thanks! I'll get to work using this to really finish the maps for FSU.
