Models needed

[vedrit]

is that what you guys are using? Whos done the most work with animations?

[Mattn]

it's up to you what you are using - you just have to make sure that you can export into md2 or md3

the animations were done by rasta - but he has left the active work around ufo quite some time ago. so currently we don't have an animator.

[vedrit]

I see. Well, I'll do some research, and see if I cant help to supliment his spot. (Cant really animate with Blender...havent figured out the keyframes)

Just a question, but why that model type?

[geever]

Because q2 engine supports that (natively?), AFAIK. (Ufo:ai may support some more but most of our models are md2.)

Hi all
I'd like to contribute some how, but where is valid todo list? First post (is it updated?) or may be somewhere in wiki?

[Mattn]

hi

thanks for your offer - help is always welcome.

we need models for alienbases - we always need things like cars, trees and plants.

here is a small list, too (SAM Site model for 3D geoscape)

I've been using Blender quite a bit for some time, and at some point soon I'm going to put a tutorial in the wiki for using Blender to make MD2 models for UFO:AI, including how to attach the TAGs and other related files for animations, etc.

I'm working on several things at once as well as real life issues, but I'll get it done when I can.

In the meantime, is there anything specific you're stuck on with import or export of MD2 (with Blender)?

[sinister]

No, i have tried only import (md2->blender->maya 
importind goes with error "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'relative'"
but model imports ok

If you want to load an existing model from the game you may have better luck grabbing the original source model before it was exported to MD2 for the trunk.  You can find the original project files for those in the data_source folder in the SVN (separate from the trunk folder).

hm.. symbols in 3d geoscape should be in the same style as current (firs variant) or something less flat (second)?

i think that such  antenna will be easy  to recognize (through it is not absolute correct)
sorry for my bad English
