The UV Set

It won't copy straight over, because the internal UV setup is so different.

Yeah, the UV mapping is a mess, that's my fault. But somehow you managed to work with it very good.


I think this one is going to look very nice in the game.

Karpov has sent me the model and texture extracted from New Vegas

I hadn't enough patience to reach the Vegas through all these bugs and crashes Deleted the game after 4 hours. My ripper can grab models only from memory.
I want the model too   I can make an inventory icon

Nearly done, I think :


I'm quite happy with how it's going, but needs a bit more work on texture for helmet, gloves, mask, trousers and shoes - and maybe the chest plate could be even lighter grey still - but I think I'm nearly there. Unless anyone can spot anything else which needs fixing, I'll see about finishing it tomorrow.

I've sent you this through.

I've been using the "texture paint" on CrackArt to paint basic lines onto the 3D model (in an MSPaint style), which mark out where different sections are - then doing the rest in photoshop - it really helps with drawing sections across strangely shaped bits of UV map, or crossing between different sections. Used it for the belts and the shoulder covering.

Also, thanks to both of you for your help on this one.

Why not to use the original texture?


P.S. note the eyes shape.

I'd like to use as less FNV content as possible. We aren't living in taiwan, Bethesda could send us love-letters.

We are attempting to use this armor already

[Lexx]

Yes, new created, but not ripped 1:1. I personally don't care about minor things, etc. But starting to rip everything out of it is really something we should not do.

I had looked at the possibility of doing so, but a few problems were :

1) Possible dodgy legal issues (stealing content directly from a new game from a large company).
2) The UV maps are so radically different, it couldn't be used without changing the UV stuff for Karpov's base model - which may cause problems with other models and customisation.
3) The texture is designed for a high poly full screen model, based on a perspective-based realistic human body, with lighting and shadows and specular shinyness from the engine - rather than an isometric caricature-like figure that's 1 inch tall and should look like a 1990s Fallout sprite, and needs such highlights / shadows to be "painted on" (think the difference between a costume from Lord of the Rings films vs a small painted "Games Workshop" model). Basically, shrunk down it just looks like a grey blob.

OK, I'm not insisting. As for me, I never lose an opportunity to use something better then I can do, no matter entire or partially. But it's your choice.

[Luther Blissett]

No worries - I appreciate your point - we all want the models to be as good as possible. I suppose the final choice goes to the game devs, if they want it in the game, and if they have any preference on how it's done.

Anyway, I'll finish this off in the way I have been working, but there's no reason the texture / model can't be modified, changed or improved in the future. I mean, once we've re-done all the sprites we need to in 3D, there's nothing to stop people continuing working on them, making them increasingly better.

Looks badass
I would love to see that armor ingame

[Solar]

Yes, very impressive

Leather armor MK2

Leather armor MK2

Wow, Ztormi! Awesome!

[Jimmy BoyX]

Better if you use orginal texture with some changes.
