tbh give Delerosa the time he needs hes got other things on his plate at the moment in my opinion bigger things as well hes got every right to just drop this project and get on with the stuff that is more important <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Cereal_KillR · June 2003

bad thing about mutalisks is that they flap when they hovar <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> Guardians don't if I remember. They kinda look like crabs that hovar without flapping

Although I don't know what skinmeshing is, it looks like progress and that's cool <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

NightCrawlerz · June 2003

we have teh scorpian that hovars without flapping NOW WE NEED TEH CRAB!!!!!11one

tbh?

and I wasn't yellin at Dela, I was yellin at Ollj.

(If you were talking to me, if not, nevermind.)

and Cereal, Hudson already has the animations figured out, so don't worry yourself over it.
The skinmesh is the 2D layout of the models surfaces that will be skinned. Get HLMV (Half-Life Model Viewer) and look at any model, go to the Texture tab and that flattened out .bmp you see is the skinmesh (along with the skin in most cases.)

Delarosa · June 2003

if it has a color... it's meshed.... (further updates will look like this)

i've decided that instead of repeting the skin for the bumps.... i'll mesh the whole thing... i've got a few plans for layout of the texture already...

my question now is... where should the most detail of the mesh be placed? wings, or spine/bumps?

ThoraX · June 2003

Probably the wings... they stand out more.

PFCNublar · June 2003

i'll say the wings also. i just hope that the animations are correct for them all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. (when idle, it flaps its wings slowly...not stop and land)

0blique · June 2003

Yeah, I agree with the wings. They're the largest thing that you see, and the bumps are also somewhat hidden.

enf0rcer · June 2003

Would you be so kind as to release each part of the mesh as you go. That way as each bit is meshed it gets skinned as well. This might be hard to do since you'll have to edit things but if you 100% sure your finished with one part i'm anxious to start <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

ok.. can do

here's the first part... the spikes that reside nead the lower mouth....

duplicate as desired...

Delarosa · June 2003

who decided the muta had bumps, while playing today, i was looking close, and i saw a spine, not bumps...

ohh well, anyone got art that shows it's got bumps?

PFCNublar · June 2003

its from that blasted game Starcraft: GHOST. yea, if you go to www.blizzard.com and look at the screenies, one of them shows the bumps. i see the bumps on the muta in game though. they are slight, like bump that resembles a blister or zit of sort, not sharp like in the screenies.

CoolCookieCooks · June 2003

Here is a mutalisks mouth if u think its helpful:

KuBaN · June 2003

That's the tail thing that shoots the spores, not the mouth. I'm almost positive.

CoolCookieCooks · June 2003

well thats what i meant <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Delarosa · June 2003

the whole back is meshed... and i realized i was doing the bumps wrong... so a start over there...

unless ou guys don't want to detail, the SIDE of the bumps... (it's a top view of the bumps themselves the whole time...)
