New Crylink
Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:01 pm

  • I've noticed that the Crylink has no bump map or normal map, so I made one. I also tweaked the textures included. It's not perfect but it is a definite improvement.

  • nice. definitely looks better.
    have you tried to make some animmaps for the skin ?
    I tried it once for the electro, but it somehow didn't work. That could add a lot to some weapons.

  • This looks outstanding! Its amazing how much little things like this really excites me. Animated would be nice. Is there any chance we might see a re-texture for the mortar...please. :D

    Here's another shot for all you Nexuiz fans out there...

  • I think all of the weapons could use this kind of stuff... plus animations! I've been wanting proper weapon animations for a while in the game.

  • Looks cool. Is this why sometimes the player models look a bit dark in Nexuiz? ie you need more bump maps?

  • there were bumpmaps and normalmaps in nexuiz 1.5 but they are gone now. Don't know why. I just think the whole game is kinda dark.

    No, that's mainly due to bad ligthing of the map or a totally broken lightgrid.

    Afaik those where just auto-generated bump/normal maps. There's no point in including those, because dp does exactly the same when loading textures that don't have bump/normal maps, so it's just a waste of disk space/bandwidth.

    If you can clarify what license this skin has it can be added to Nexuiz (if it's GPL).

  • Here's a bump and gloss for the electro. I tried to keep the battle-scarred feel to the texture. You can make it look newer by lowering the contrast on electroskin_gloss.tga.

  • I've never played UT3 so I wouldn't know...

    anyway I think I liked the crylink bumps because it made it sleeker and sexier looking. The bump map on this one makes it looked like a banged up tin can. I do like the look of the blue hoses though.

    I went through a lot of trouble to make the electro look like a banged up tin can :( making it look shiny and new is much easier.
    Anyways I'll spend a few minutes in photoshop and make the shiniest, newest electro you ever seen.

  • What do I have to have enabled to make it look as good as the screeny? :( There's some difference when I run the game with the new pakfile but it's not as dramatic as the screenshot is.

    All effects are enabled except bloom and HDR. Texture quality is set to best.
    My videocard is a humble All-in-Wonder 9600 so it should look better on your rig.
