Player Model using Moo's model - 3 Skin Choices

[Marsha]

Hello bta.monster,

as you surely know, the hardest part in creating monster/player models is the animation.

If you are used to the professional animation of the original ID1 models, you will see the difference to the replacement models with ease.

That is exactly what you see on this and its "brother": the grunt model.
Sure, there has been put much love and time into the animation.
But it is hard to reach a fluent & good looking animation.

That is why I myself dont use these as well.
Nothing against the authors of course.
It was done as good as possible.


A remarkable exception are the monster models from Obi-Wan !!!

Their animations are absolutely perfect !
And OoPpEe could port them over to Q1 very good.
He was bound to the animation frames of the original ID1 models and did a good job in cutting Obi-Wans to this small frame number.
I can only recommend to use Obi-Wans "shambler Castle" Doom 3 models for Q1.
They are brilliant.

It seems as though this model is missing one of the death animations. Not sure which one, but it skips it completely.

Also the standing animation looks a bit odd when compared to the original player model. Almost as if he stands "crooked". The axe standing anim is fine though. Anyone know about these issues?

Is it possible to make the helmet a little bigger like the Q3 helmet? I think that would make it look better too.

indeed awesome job!

Agree with the others input, looks too small. From the looks of it you took the Q3 texture and just made it 300% larger on both width and height. The face texture used on this isn't square like Q3's - it's wider. So you will have to make the texture slightly wider for it to look right. On the texture it will look weird - but ingame it would look proper.



I designed the face to match the Quake 3's version - but to add more detail. The 3 reasons were:
1) To add more detail
2) Make him look slightly younger (as this is Q1)
3) Quake 3's face texture for Ranger is 3x smaller in resolution than mine (so needed to add more detail and all).

I started the face with Q3's and went from there.

Hello Sean,

yes, I think R00k is right.
The face looks "smaller" compared to your previous screenshot.
The helmet is a bit too big now.

The thing I like about the previous screenshot more is the angry face.
The new screenshot shows a handsome man that had a bad day. OK
But the previous one shows an angry as hell marine, who sees devil every day.
At least fo me...

Kind regards,
Seven

maybe increase the size of the face? less forehead

Ahh yes, thanks for that pointer there Ooppee.

It is a md3 model and made for darkplaces
the _shirt is the armor or "topcolor"
the _pants is the pants or "bottomcolor"

To make it use a different diffuse texture use dpmodel.exe - its on the darkplaces file section. It allows you to rename a diffuse texture on a compiled model (md3)

I have no issues getting this model to work from within DarkPlaces, and the model looks great.

However, I have entities in my QC that use this model and animation, but requires another skin. Making the skin isnt a problem, nor is the QC side.

I cant workout how to name the texture files I believe, as DP for normal Quake1 .mdl's expects skins like:

armor.mdl_0.tga
armor.mdl_1.tga
armor.mdl_1.tga

but this model is using player_skin.tga. o.O

But this doesnt seem to work for this model. I believe its a Q3 model renamed for use in DP, but has any one been able to script it via QC to load a different diffuse skin?

[LambentHammerBurst]

It was made for Darkplaces afterall
Model is much brighter once you disable rtlights ect ect ect

sooooooooooooooooooooooo dark

One more question:

I'm gonna tinker with a mod called Qetia. It's a co-op mod that seems pretty awesome. Once I've got the mod loaded up, what do I type into the console in order to get a list of all available console commands for Qetia? I'd also like to know what I need to type in order to view all available impulse commands.
