skins...

Just a quick question, yes/no answer will do, do you need the skelegton files to create a new model and skin: the skin from scratch, the model from a modded character.

I read that you would, any one know?

[ADM]

Model - Yes
Skin - No.

The Model is attached to a Physical Bone, and texture for skin is a material of model but can be modified. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif

Yeah

[Jokke_r]

the question was do i need skeleton for:

model = yes
Skin = no

duh

[SteelFist]

thanks 4 the help. my fault really, i didnt make my self clear enough. When creating a new model u have to export them - i just wanted to know wether u could mod a model, say of max payne and giv him funky hair, then export it as a kf2, and use it in the game.

although, I have seen models in other mods, like the hellsing or cinima mod, with sunglasses and a hat on, simple changes...

[Robert]

Yeah but the sunglasses and the hat are skinitems.. But I don't understand how they get the coat longer..

[SteelFist]

I assumed they just stretched the coat he was wearing...

[Ghast]

funky hair made a skin item?

[Aq3of8]

lol, funky skin items. im playing with that. so far when u type freezenypd into the console max gets infi ammo, guns, silver glasses and a blood stained mask. tis hilarious covering him in skin items.

[eascya2]

What about a hat? like a gangster hat sorta thing? can that be attached as a skin_item? Has it been in any MP2 mods yet?

[Ghast]

hasn't hellsing done that?

[eascya2]

hmmmm... I could really use a gangsta hat...

[Robert]

I've made a dumb hat earlier http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (I know his head is on fire)

[SteelFist]

he he he..

so whats the diff between skin items and other models, I mean lim Jim Bavorus hat - but that aint a skin_item, is it?

[Aq3of8]

na, jimmys hat aint a skin item. look in the skin items folder for all of them. they include a doc mask, a helmet, rags, recievers and remotes. just things people will hold from time to time in the game. eg vlad and his bomb remote, or cleaner in orange suits rag.

[SteelFist]

ah gotcha http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Some of the animations are pretty funny too, the janitor guy makes a rag magically appear in his hand when he dies??? Of course I could be wrong, need coffee! *G*
Its all a question of game priorities, old Jim don't wear his hat inside nor his overcoat *G*

(RTCW was cooler, you could shoot the eyeglasses, hats, etc off the enemies and the objects would get dropped nearby)
