Feature requests, suggestions / Re: 3d Character textures support Bump Mapping?

« on: December 23, 2006, 09:47:55 PM »

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to bake some bumps into the texture, not sure if static specularity will look so hot though, but I'll try it. And your game looks fantastic! How many polys is that character by the way?  Mine went a bit over 1000. I'm sure WME can handle a whole lot more than that, but I prefer to play it safe for now.

Feature requests, suggestions / 3d Character textures support Bump Mapping?

« on: December 23, 2006, 06:34:35 PM »

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I looked for bump mapping related threads with the search function but nothing of relevance came up.

I'd like to know if the current version of WME supports any sort of texture maps, such as bump mapping or specular maps on characters.
If not is it reasonable to expect something like that in the not too distant future? I haven't done any testing yet, I only recently finished modeling my first low poly character and soon I'll start texturing it. It's a man in a futuristic space suit and I'm wondering if there's any way to make it shiny.

Hey, that's great adonf. I was having trouble understanding why my characters were ending up on their backs when I tested them on WME, but now I know to always check the Left Handed Axis checkbox.

Don't know what went wrong the first time I installed the thing. But the fact is that .dle was missing and now everything seems to be working fine thanks to you. Problem solved!

I might as well take this moment to say I think WME is amazing. Me and a friend of mine have been working on this ambitious game of ours on AGS for the last 2 years. Recently we discovered WME and we just couldn't go back. We decided to start from scratch and upgrade everything already done to Hi-res. We couldn't be happier with all the features offered by WME.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that before, but there doesn't seem to be any *.X file to choose from. I also typed in .X at the end of the file name and I got the same error as before, "Don't know how to save that file type".

But what would be the point of having the PandaXport tools if you could just export it normaly with just 3DsMax?

I'm not sure if it's an error, or just me not knowing what I should be doing.

Let me tell you exactly what I'm doing. I open 3dsmax6, I make a cube, I select the cube then I go to the pandaXporter. It looks like this to me.


Then it tells me to choose a destination folder and I do. And this happens.


I tried all different options, if I unselect the checkbox at the bottom it doesn't give me the error, but it doesnt save anything either.

I feel a little dumb asking this but I've searched everywhere and I can't seam to find anything that'll make it simple for me.

This is my situation, I know how to model and I'm using 3dsmax with the PandaXport plugin already installed. After making a few scenes and getting them to work with trinity I wanted to do a very simple test with a character of mine. Just to get the basics on how to make something done by me work on WME. So I made this cube, thats it, a simple cube, Cuby the cube I called him, he's my character for this test. No animations, no nothing. Then I used the PandaXport to export my character but it says it doesn't know how to save that file type.

Well I'm stumped. Can anyone please give me a simple step by step explanation on how to get my cube working as an actor in WME please? And if not as an actor at least as an object
Many thanks.
