UT40K: The Chosen Although 40K players and other Mod Teams may not have herd about us, we have in fact been going on, for quite a while. The fact that a ModDB page was never set up for us has only just been brought to light. We are a small but dedicated team, devoted to bringing the universe of Games Workshops Warhammer 40,000 to it's full glory, using the UT3 engine. While we have been toiling in the shadows, we have actually managed to release a Number of Public Betas over the last year and improve on them with each upgrade. We are devoted to remaining as close to the publish code rules as we possibly can, to the point where we have implemented both the JAM system, for the Terminator Assault Cannon, and a fully functional vehicle damage system, complete with Front, Side and Rear armour values and features all of the ways of disabling a vehicle (e.g. Crew Stunned, Weapon Destroyed, Immobilised and all the others) We have two mostly functional races available; The Imperium's...

I decided that I would tackle 2 things at once. First, I would get some more practice with normal maps on various shapes. Second, I would create some much needed decorations for our maps. I figure I can make all of the models in the "Battlefield Accessories" kit within a short amount of time before moving on to the Falcon. These can be dropped in any setting to make it feel more familiar to warhammer 40k players. Here's my first object from the list, the Barrel. It's only 288 triangles: Next up will be one of the tank traps. |

yes but just basic ones that need remapping and texturing --

I think you should just go ahead and make all the models in the kit, that way we can just replace the old ones with your new and improved ones. -- Looking for a mod team? You're in luck. Check out our mod page. |

Here's the "X" tank traps, weighing in at 356 triangles. I added the orange parts to the normal map to give it some texture. This is something that I forgot to do with the barrel and tank spikes, so I've gone back and fixed 'em (I did not update the images above, so don't bother checking). Once I've finished the set, I'll do a nice pic of everything together. - And here's how it would look when a few are lined up next to eachother: I've noticed that a row of these things will begin to show patterns in the texture. The diffuse and specular channel are not related to the details of the model, so we could generate 4 different-yet-similar textures by simply rotating them 90,180 and 270 degrees. What do you guys think? |

go for it, they look great, you can even rotate the mesh, might be a lower file size than the texture, or we just make a few extra materials. god what am i on about, we can copy the mesh in the package then make extra materials by rotating the textures but that will only work if the uv's fit a rotated texture. anyway which ever you like go for it --

the diffuse and specular will rotate just fine, but obviously the normal map will have to remain static... Wait, that's not going to work then. I applied the light orange color to the normal map, so if we rotate the diffuse then it will not line up. But it would be easy enough to generate new normals to match each rotation. These maps are only 1024x1024, so 4 of these materials should be about the same size as 1 character material. EDIT: First Ammo Crate is done. Since this one had a lot more details I'm using 2048x2048 maps. But on the plus side it's only 402 triangles. Also, we could easily skin it to a simple skeleton and give it a few animations. This way it could be closed until someone runs up and activates it, causing it to open (or we could have it attack people like a mimic ): - - Since Geo is anxious for the falcon, I think I'll cut this little project short and turn my attention on that. I'll probably come back and do the last 2-3 pieces later, but these 4 items should give our mappers something fun to play with. Edited by: Ministry_3D |
