Hi there!  

During this time of quarantine, I have a lot of free time, and I decided to finally sort out all the bunch of new mods for the game that I had been making over the past years (but never uploaded them).

Now all of them are on the http://www.8eyedbaby...modder=Nostromo

Wow!  Great stuff!

[Nostromo0]

I usually work with all of the models in 3ds max, but sometimes it images textures crookedly.

So I do some adjustments to the final version.

[lefty2000]

This is great stuff and I have used a number of Nostromo's mods in my very short list of productions.

 

I would like to suggest to all modders that they include some identifying information in their installation so users can give credit where credit is due.  Some modders do this and some don't.  Mods downloaded from 8eyedbaby always include a text file with installation instructions, which is a good place to include your name or nick,   Too often the burden is on the user to keep track of where the mod came from.  It is very easy for this information to get lost and the result is that credit may not be given when credit is due.

Well, I've seen something like this - List of Mods and Modders by PapaRevStar, but this file is very old - several mods are no longer available.

Is that what you mean?

Great stuff man, I am wondering, do you export your models from 3DS Max as .msh files? I used to do that before moving to Blender. As I recall, some of the uvs would get corrupted on export because there was a bug in the exporter that made UV vertices jump when they where too close to the edge of the texture. The way I found to solve this was to create a safe zone with 1 quad face mapped to the full size of the texture for every part of a model per material. Every other faces where safe once inside that zone. With very complex models it became almost impractical to do this. I also found that repeating textures where a lot more unstable.

I realized the blender import/export scripts where so much more reliable and rich with features that I bit the bullet and dove right in the nightmare UI that is Blender 2.49b.

It was the best move ever. Once I got over how different it was from Max I never looked back.

Yes, that's right! Of course, there are problems with export (perhaps a script that doesn't work well), but I use 2 unnecessary poligons (for example, the bottom of the model) and place its up and down on the UVWs.





P.S. This is a model of Stonehenge

Absolutely fantastic stuff!

I am preparing 6 more types of props.

And now, I first learned how to output models in Blender!

















P.S. Although, some textures are imaged incorrectly, it is possible that someone will use these props 

[MikeDBoing]

Welcome to the dark side MUHAAAAHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..   seriously dude , great stuff and cudos on getting them out of Blender. 

[Nostromo0]
