3D modelling - HELP!

TurinTurambar · #1 January 10th, 2005, 11:05 PM

I've now installed L2 and L3. They install seperately. In the File drop-down of 2 and 3 is the abililty to "Open DOGA-L1 File."
I've got a boring fighter model I made in L1 opened in L2 and I'm playing with the textures.

Don't so much like any of them. Are there textures to download into this as there are parts/components? Is there a way to mod the textures to get different effects? If TC is only using DOGA, where does he get all those *****in textures?

Thanks,

Take a night off and relax. You will figure it out in the morning.

Open the DOGA L3 folder and make a short cut for the DOGA.exe file.

Or copy the DOGA file and BMP for the ship you have and email them to me. (Zip them please.) I will see what I can do.

The textures are mostly made or aquired via a google search.

Also to post an image on this site it has to be PNG. You can save your rendered object with a black back ground as a PNG. (Doga L3 that is) L1 is much more limited.

Just send me the files.

I downloaded and resaved your image as a png. Lets see if it works.

Never mind, did not work. Ask David Gervais how he did it.

Let's give it a try:

OK, the only thing I did different was to resave it with a lowercase png as the file extension;
Code:

From Google image search, from Freespace 2, from a friend, and some... I mean one I've created myself.

But mostly from a site which I would be happy to give you a link to it via PM if you are interested.

And if you would like, I could try to write up a quick tutorial on DoGA texturing.

Why not just post the link?

Nice fighter! Me like it. Only the window isn't really my stile. Maybe something a little more transparent?

He is off to a good start. If keeps up with it, it will be nice to see what he can come up with.
