Shadow Warrior 3D Modelling Project

[Hellbound]

OK, I'll fix some bugs (for ex. dead ghost has a wrong angle ;D and I don't like his dying and ressurection animations) and relase that with your requestz.

[CorpusC]

the coolie

for an EXTREMELY low poly boxy model, it looks pretty good, but it really looks like quake 1 era.
and yet, doesnt quite look up to q1 quality even to.

its WAY too square and low detailed. it needs alot of organic curves, and alot more polies

[Hellbound]

thats the coolie... and what about "ghost" ?
BTW. Shit, I see more work It's not such a low poly, he has about 850 faces, I think.

[NightFright]

Problem is the REALLY talented modellers (no offense to those who actually work on Shadow Warrior now) work on jfDuke/eDuke models right now. So we have to be glad there´s ANY progress at all over here.

[Tea Monster]

I think a few Duke modellers are planning to work on SW, but only when Duke is done.

Duke is one of the few games I have played all the time since it's release. Its been on every system I've had since it came out.

I've only played SW occasionally and only just after it came out. I've only played through the second level. Its a cool game though and I will probably do some stuff when Duke is finished.

So its nothing against SW, I just love Duke.

The good thing is that looking in Build, there doesn't seem to be even a quarter as many tiles and models to do as Duke, so when things do start going, it should progress quickly. You have two (technically three with the ghost version of the TNT guy) baddie models completed already, so be happy!

[WarHammer]

By my count Shadow Warrior has:

1032 textures
496 sprites
206 debris frames
524 effect frames (water effects, explosions, etc)
694 text & screen elements
204 weapon frames (including ammo & pickups)
1222 enemy frames (there are 19 enemy types in SW, only 11 in Duke)
1209 blank tiles
33 girl frames
11 sky textures

That's 4422 tiles total (not including the blanks), Duke3D has 5119.

With 14 enemies (5 enemies are just ninja palette swaps), 496 sprites, 18 or so pieces of debris and 12 weapons, that's a workload of approximately 540 models, minus the ones which have already been made.

Considering the slow progress of the Duke3D HRP project combined with the much lesser popularity/ownership of Shadow Warrior compared to DN3D, I don't forsee the SW HRP being done for a very long time.

[Phayzon]

But how much of that stuff is done so far? (ex, 1000 textures total, 400 done, therefor 600 left) Looking at it in total gives us a bigger number than whats actually left to do.

[Tea Monster]

What has been done so far then? Is there a list somewhere?

[Phayzon]

Get the newest HRP and any content after that and start countin'

[WarHammer]

Currently there are around 188 textures/sprites, 17 models available and most screen elements are done.

[Carger2000]

I did some testing here's some comments on most models and some general comments.

*The Nuke is awesome.
*The Barrel is awesome.
*Gas canisters are awesome.
*The Punch stick is awesome.
*In fact, everything not mentioned below is AWESOME.

=========

*The health pack needs to be less bright and much thicker.
*Ninjas need some more work. (probably already acknowledged)

=========

*We really need maps hacks. If someone could PM me the way to deliver good map hacks, I'll get on it.

=========

*Models that would be nice or easy;

-Antenna (See auto maul/seppuku station [armour vest hanger])
-RC car antenna
-Price tag
-Grating (The great escape)
-Hooks (Bath house)
-Joystick (bath house vehicle)
-Wooden Tubs

[Phayzon]

I thought Voxel Positions did most of the maphacking for us?

[CorpusC]

the shape of the ghost looks alot better to me.

there should be a few more polies in the hands to make them look rounderp.

personally, i would try to see how a more hexagonal shaped chain link (instead of square) would look.

naturally any model should be optimized so that all the faces count.

that said, i think almost all models created for these games are too low resolution with the number of vertices.

[tpz]

Maphacks are also used to resolve Z-buffer issues for example, not just rotating sprites.

[Phayzon]

oh

Will someone give the ninja model his suicide and being hacked into two animations? It's weird shooting a model and then it going to sprite to do the suicide.

Anyway, could somebody convert this Evil Ninja *.max file to for ex. *.obj (but only model) ?? I wanna make an armature and animate him.

I had to upgrade that model, but because o no any reply for a really easy task, I've started to work on something else and it's too late now.

nice

[Tea Monster]

that is a very nice skin!

[Phayzon]

nice indeed.

[hitman71]

i concur...

[SamSwashbuckler]

Can we see it on a model?

[Ras]

A couple of shots of it:

[hitman71]

I think the red x looks ok, but the white box isn't so good... needs an update i think. Nice skin though

[Ras]

I was trying to get both images on one message, but ended up deleting them both. Here's another shot:

[Ras]

Another:

[cladinshadows]

That looks a lot better! Good job.

[hitman71]

neat... so is the coolie complete now ?

[Luigi]

Where are you Papou? Pls release what you have

I've made a model for the sticky bomb without a skin.
Since I have no experience with any 3D modeling programs the file was originaly in LDraw DAT and then converted over to 3DS before I ported it to a Quake3 MD3 model. If anybody feels like skinning it or adding anything to it they are welcome to it.

[doomjedi]

How do I play Shadow Warrior with all those models?

[Another Duke Fan]

Amazing work. Thank you so much!

[hitman71]

not looked yet but have downloaded. thanks very much, keep em coming !!

And don't be scared by the evil ninja, he aint so tough

[Luigi]

You kick ass Very nice models as usual.

I just tested it and i found a bug on the bowl model:

[WarHammer]

That's not a bug with the model, that's a transparency sorting bug in JFSW and JFD3D.


0366_samurai helmet
Looks really cool.

0475_old bottle
Except for not being able to be made properly because of the transparency bug it looks great.

0496_toilet paper
I really like the texture on this one. Very nice.

0504_lamp
My only beef with this model is the lack of a bulb in the lamp. Add that and I'll be happy.

0509_cup
The handle could use a few extra poligons to smooth out the curve and the texture seam is quite obvious. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

0510_bowl
Same problem with the seam as on cup but it still looks pretty good.

0511_pot
Other than the barely noticible transparency problem this one looks perfect.

The extra high res skins on some of the models was a nice bonus that I decided to take advantage of on a couple of them.

[CorpusC]

great to see you making more cool models Papou!

You have to download Jonof's Shadow Warrior port (the same site as JFDuke) and installation of models is just reading readmes
