3D model rumor

[Segmint]

omg

That's what I'm doing! Lol, why do you think I would ask Shuffle for the MD2 info? I plan on using MD2's for about half of the objects used in SRB2, and the rest are going to be custom sprites.

Working on it, don't ask. It's strictly private.

 

[Chaoman]

Ok, so, now I need 2 know how all this works... How do I use these MD2's and the dat to add the models?

 

[Shuffle]

You'd know and wouldn't have had to write a PM to me if you read Segment's first post..

 

[Segmint]

What I posted was all the information you needed. If you still don't understand those amazingly simple instructions, you're out of luck.

 

[Sykotic]

I can make them. Well below the 4096 limit :/

 

[Segmint]

Segment's

D=

It's Segmint, but I don't like the name anymore... I want it to just be "Mint", but I doubt the Administrators would care enough to change it for me, so I never bothered to ask.

Well, BlazingPhoenix used to be called KingOfFlames.

My only problem with MD2s is that it seems you can't have multiple skins. Or I could be wrong.

Hmm, I'd totally love a modified SRB2 with extended 3D character capabilities (and made compatibility of models in SRB2 a crapload better). Then people who think Sonic GL would be better would probably switch over to SRB2. But who cares about them anyway, they're graphics freaks. D:

My only problem with MD2s is that it seems you can't have multiple skins. Or I could be wrong.

You are. =(

If you replace the PLAY sprites, then yeah, it will overwrite all characters, but if that character uses specific sprites, say OMFG, then you could just replace OMFG sprites.

 

[Shuffle]

I don't think you can have more than one skin with MD2s. Remember that Knux's sprites are KNUXA1, KNUXB2, etc, and the MD2 replaces his sprites as well as Sonic and Tails'.

 

[Segmint]

Um, well then I dunno, but it could be an MD2 that is loaded in a wad... but...

I don't care? I'm just sorta confused, but what would be awesome is a bit more MD2 support in the first place! =D

 

[SSNTails]

What would be nice is some GL_AMBIENT lighting. ;)

Has there even been anything released for Sonic GL yet?

 

[Shuffle]

Would GL_AMBIENT be the kind of lights that you use to light up rooms? Because that would be really pretty.

 

[Ritz]

Has there even been anything released for Sonic GL yet?

No, but having glanced over it's forum/guestbook quickly, it's apparently going to be at SAGE.

So, when does SAGE start again?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Forever and a day.

Also August 5th-11th.

 

[1-Up]

I ran into this model editor the other day that has multiple import and export files. It is called Blender.

 

[Rob]

Too bad MD2 isn't on the list.

 

[Sky Ninja]

I downloaded that a long time ago, and it does have MD2. You have to have python 2.5 insalled. You can find it here.

 

[I'll Begin]

Heh, I fail to see why you need Python to save as MD2s, but at least I have an alternative to Milkshape, which I can't get working for some dumb reason.

 

[Segmint]

You know, you could just use a program that's easy for you, and that supports a filetype that can be exported to another program, that can then export it to an MD2, right? That's what I do, as MilkShape isn't my thing, and if anything, I would only use MD2s for idle stuff, like rings/SP. rings, springs, scenery, etc.
