The random model thread!

[JacK]

Houston we have a problem. I compiled the vmt as following but when I preview the model some weird rendering errors occur:

vmt:

VertexLitGeneric

{

 "$basetexture" "models\mino\avon_scaffolding_mino" 

"$translucent" "1"

	"$alpha" "1"

}

Should I put the alpha mapped green thing in a separate texture ?

I don't know if you are aware of it, but there has been reportet a LOT of rendering errors with Source SDK lately. It could be a bug making it look wierd, and if that's the case, it ain't your fault..

Really cool model anyways

put $alphatest 1

unless thats what that alpha thing is .

your normals might be flipped also . if in that case put $nocull 1

i should prob read other peoples post to see if they said this already but i don't have time to

n00bs!

mino: get your green thing on an extra MATERIAL not a seperated texture. in the one material you activate translucency in the other one you keep any translucency or alphatesting command out of your vmt.

maybe like

Material_trans.vmt <- for transparency

Material.vmt <- for 100% visible stuff

you can use the same VTF in both material files

hessi you are a genius

there is no way you can do that is there? i didn't know you could have 2 vmts for the same texture.....

this is madness...

...Hessi you git, thats what I was saying Just in a more complicated harder to understand way...

[Meotwister]

I'm with vivi on that . . .wow craziness.

haha did you ever look at the hl2 textures and materials for reference?

[Nazul]

I made this out of bore-ation

[Zacker]

It looks boring indeed:D You could start out with adding some smoothing groups.

Something I'm working on. Planet in the background isnt mine, just a placeholder to see what's going on. It will be replaced with my own assets.

[Grinwhrl]

That is looking very nice, I think I will copy you and do that with brushwork j/j

[KoKo5oVaR]

In the future people will have acess to mapcore in space ?

looks like a cool modelisation skdr, it maybe need some more curves tho

[Acumen]

some models i'm doing for a hl2dm map for a friend of mine. first ones are pretty generous, second screen shows an asset for a torture chamber kinda room. forgot to check the polycount, but shouldn't be too heavy for source to handle
