Nice idea Jesse! I may post some of the objects I made :)

Continues from [URL="http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=99657"]the old The Object Showcase thread[/URL].

If you have shown pictures of objects in that old thread but didn't get any or replies to it yet, feel free to repost your screens here. :D

As GH opened this thread yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to start working with meta. So I read dizzydoils tutorial and built the same candle, but a little bit different. And here it is:

My very first object. [url=http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=kerze7op5.jpg][img]http://www.abload.de/img/kerze7op5.jpg[/img][/url]

But it's untextured yet and it will be a pain to texture it. :(

Since it was great fun to do it, I might do some more objects in the future and maybe one of them is worth to be released ^^

Dunnut7 03-05-10 20:14

Amazing:tmb: If that's your very first object, I'm very surprised:eek:

Soul 03-05-10 21:27

Thanks :)

Here's a textured version. Though I'll do it again with better textures, as it's way to small to fit the FE2

Underhoe 03-05-10 21:47

[FONT="Palatino Linotype"]That looks fantastic, Soul!
I'm actually interested in meta, and I'd like to learn how to use it.
Can you tell me where did you found that tutorial, please?[/FONT]

Level NextGen 03-05-10 22:32

If I understood :o, I should post update of request here?! :confused:
Well, so this is the Sneak Statue not already textured...
[IMG]http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7809/snakestatue.png[/IMG]

@ Dunnut7 : it's 11 high clicks and fit on 1 block... I can't really make it as 8 clicks because the sneack will look too thin or fat! I'm waiting for your approval, then to texture it!

larafan25 04-05-10 00:06

Cool so on sunday I decided to be spontanious and try Meta, I downloaded the latest version (at least I think). So I have been practicing, not sure if I am doing it right, not sure how to optimize vertices for quality and that fun stuff, but these don't need to have a limit for the LE.

I have some questions to go with these screens.:)

1. How do I register Meta? apparently in order to export these objects as different filetypes I need to register.

1. How do I texture them? is it possible in Meta?

laralives 04-05-10 00:18

1. You don't. You download the other version.

1. You texture them with StrPix. Yes, you can texture them in Meta, although I don't recommend it as it is absolutely pointless because you can't really import it like that in your wad.

larafan25 04-05-10 00:53

These are not going into a WAD...they are being used for a different program.

Thanks for the advice on my questions.:)

You should probably download MetasequoiaLE R2.4 from the [url=http://www.metaseq.net/english/]homepage[/url]. That works best for me. :) This way you don't have to register: it's freeware.

It's also 64bit compatible.

Objects are looking nice and natural, though. Great. :D

Amazing!!:jmp: I'm in love with it!:hug: Well, here you have my approval:D And it's okay that it's 11 clicks high, it only makes the object bigger:tmb: The bigger, the better:p

And I don't even think it would fit in my level, cause it's to beautiful!:vlol: Can't wait to see it textured:)

And I have one question: You have this statue, but also another, right?

It's basically tweetygwee's Metasequoia tutorial here on TRF.
[url]http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=115107[/url]

I built everything according to the tutorial and then changed and added some parts. The tutorial is all about the basics but it's awesome how many things you can create with just these few tricks mentioned there.

Piega 04-05-10 19:38

I dont believe Titak swaps axes anymore cause if you want to use reStrText you cannot use it and it is very handy if you are gonna retexture complicated meshes. There are more tutorials. A pity that the tutorial section is limited and you cannot look through the pages until you set the display options from the beginning. So I hope people have not forget mine here wich also gives good starting tips:

[url]http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=115344[/url]

With extrude commands you can create the same candle in minutes.

Soul 04-05-10 19:44

Thanks for the link, Piega. I was reading about your tut on tweetygwee's thread but couldn't find it. :jmp:

sapper 05-05-10 00:39

Titak made a sticky Tutorial Index in the tutorials section to make finding tutorials easier.

[URL="http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=151774"]http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=151774[/URL]

Titak 05-05-10 08:56

Correct.
I was about to point it out but you already did so.

I did make the INDEX because of the reason Piega mentioned. :D

My first complete mesh ever :D

KurtisandLara 07-05-10 01:37

WOW!
Very nice :tmb:!
Keep it up :).

Dunnut7 07-05-10 17:05

Niec object, WCookie!:tmb: If that's your first mesh, I'm really surprised:eek:

Soul 08-05-10 08:05

Very nice!

Did you use piegas great "extrude" - method?

WCookie 08-05-10 18:20

[QUOTE=Soul;4579763]Very nice!

Which method? :o

Thank you everyone but I'm not gonna finish this object, I think it looks ugly, maybe I'll release it's mesh :hug:

larafan25 08-05-10 23:37

I have a question!:)

So you know when you create an object with the cylinder primitive, and the base and top of it is segmented like a pizza. Well whenever I apply textures to these section they are super stretched or squished, does anyone know of a technique for texturing these pie segments?:)

KurtisandLara 08-05-10 23:42

Open the texture that your trying to apply on the "pizza" (:p) in paint or a image software program thing and trim the size of it alittle (sorry im not good with measurements :)) and then import it into the wad with wadmerger and try the texture again, not sure if you know but you can also 'flip' the texture in strpic but holding down SHIFT and clicking it :) helps with texturing.

I'm texturing in Meta though :/

Do you think these skills still apply?:)

sapper 09-05-10 02:46

Here is a meta tutorial I found on the net a while ago.

[URL="http://www.4shared.com/file/98609977/8ff4345/metadocs.html"]http://www.4shared.com/file/98609977/8ff4345/metadocs.html[/URL]

It explains a lot about meta's commands and a little bit about texturing in meta.
It's for an old registered version of meta so some things won't apply.

For more hints on meta texturing and lighting visit meta2tr's site.

KurtisandLara 09-05-10 04:36

I was inspired by a screenshot posted in "The New Object Team" Thread.
[B](NOTE: The object won't be released i just made it because i was feeling inspired :))[/B]
[IMG]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff210/TjOblivion/venicewindow.jpg[/IMG]

And heres another pic before i texture :).
[IMG]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff210/TjOblivion/paitningdrape.jpg[/IMG]
Its the painting thing from TRL on the wall next to that grand window above the staircase (look [URL="http://www.skribblerz.com/tr/Legend/legendmanor.htm"]here[/URL] and on the first screenshot look left of the big window :).) Oh and this will be releases once i texture it unless a better one is released before then :).

WOW it looks awesome!

You might concider changing the bar and lamp textures to something gold with a shiny effect, I think it would fit in better.:)

[QUOTE=KurtisandLara;4585281]I agree :) i just need to find good textures :confused: any ideas? :)[/QUOTE]

CG TEXTURES?;)

btw isnt there any more HQ version of that painting?

KurtisandLara 10-05-10 17:14

Thats the one from TRL, it looked stretched like that in TRL also.
But if i could get it a HQ version i would.
