Title: Im making a truck model
Post by: ShadowNinjaDudeMan on April 04, 2007, 09:02:43 am: Hello ppl,

Im making a truck model in Wings 3D, its still early in its stage, but I was wondering:

1. Can Wings 3D models be used in Tremulous?
2. If any coders are intrested in helping me, I know nothing of C, C# or C++.

Pm me if you are intrested on adding a wee truck to the game.

Thank youze!

Post by: ShadowNinjaDudeMan on April 05, 2007, 07:15:35 pm: Ive got a rough but functional truck ready, complete with animations. Its been done on blender, this is the first thing Ive ever done on blender, something of pioneering.

Here are a few pics:

(http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/8195/truckshot3zc0.th.jpg) (http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=truckshot3zc0.jpg)

I still need to add

Steering Wheel
Gun Emplacement, on back
Pedals
Front and back bumper detail, eg lights
Air Intake on bonnet
General Deatails
Exhaust Pipe

The only problem I can think of is it being just too big, you would have to make special outdoor maps for this.
I also need smoke fromj the exhaust pipe
I dont know much C, ill probably copy and edit from oither objects.
I need to set viewpoints for people inside the truck, I have no idea how to do this.
Its gonna take a long, long time.

Unless some1 helps me...

Ill show little vids of the animations soon.

Post by: ShadowNinjaDudeMan on April 08, 2007, 09:51:24 am: Update:

The truck has now got:

A Bumper (pesky tyrants)
A Turret (pesky everything)

Im making lights and one of those air intake thingies on the bonnet.

Im reading up and starting to dabble with animations, it is going well.

But as for the coding, je est clueless.

Truck? How about a simple weaponlight? The darkness is not your friend, if you are human.

How about reading the FAQ?
