An axe About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. An axe // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by Momaw // Sep 26, 2007, 7:05am Momaw Total Posts: 21 A quick and simple project. I was looking at this to add to a game I play a lot. I've never really done mapped textures, just truespace's built in projections, so painting this up was an interesting new experience. I did have somebody else do the actual mapping part, since that's arcane voodoo still. Get there eventually. Anyway, 180 triangles, with a 512x512 texture (probably that'll get halved for the game) http://momaw.kikaimegami.com/axe7.jpg Modelled after an image I found while randomly googling: http://www.gggodwin.com/boardingaxe.jpg :) Post by jamesmc // Sep 26, 2007, 7:22am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Nicely modeled and textured. Any gamer would be proud to tote one of those around. :) Post by jayr // Sep 26, 2007, 9:30am jayr Total Posts: 1074 Very nice, the texture on the axe head is brilliant Post by butterpaw // Sep 27, 2007, 1:27am butterpaw Total Posts: 831 That's a good axe! nice work! :) ^_^ Post by 3dfrog // Sep 27, 2007, 2:20am 3dfrog Total Posts: 1225 The axe isnt displaying now. I saw it yesterday though and it's very nice indeed. What uv mapping program does your friend use? I suck at uv mapping.

Here's a more recent version with specularity and bump maps http://momaw.kikaimegami.com/axe9.jpg As far as I know, she used 3DSmax to do the UVvoodoo. I was showing the model just as a "isn't this cool?" (it's a beautiful axe, imho; the shape of it) moment, and dreading the UV part, when completely out of the blue I got an offer to map it for me. How can you say no to that? :) Post by Jack Edwards // Sep 27, 2007, 9:06pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 I think it looks great Momaw. :) Something as simple as this could be mapped in TS no probs. But you may want to look into Ultimate Unwrap 3d: http://www.unwrap3d.com/ For organic stuff and pro work, many of us are buying: http://www.uvlayout.com/ -Jack.
