Not yet, no. the Max POF exporter doesn't work too well, so I've been told to stay away from it. As for the other method, I don't have the hard drive space to download 3 or 4 more pieces of modeling software to jump through the hoops neccesary to get it in game. I'll most likely be waiting for some alternate method, or get someone else to do it for me.
Someone needs to get collada support done.
As for the panel lines. They're traced directly off the original model. They're accurate. The normal map is not extreme, it is subtle. As I've explained a number of times now, and this will be my last explanation of it, the render itself is designed to show the normal map off.
So stop *****ing everyone. It's getting annoying. If you don't like the look of the renders, then tough. If you can do a better job, then go for it, start from scratch and make your own friggin model. In fact, go make your own mod, because those who continually complain about all these things, from proportions, to normal map strength, to proper amount of dirt on the diffuse maps, and all those other things, are not the people we want playing this mod. Go play some other mod and leave us alone if all you have to add is complaints.
That's the last I'll speak of that. Constructive criticism is fine, but if I give you an answer, then accept it and don't continue to speak on it, as if the more times you complain about something, the more we'll listen to you. Further ignorant or unwarranted complaints will be met with a simple "Piss off."
End of Story.
And just for the record, that wasn't directed at maje's comment, more towards the general trend of this thread since I started mapping the ISD.
