Title: Plated Donkey
Post by: Battlepriest on July 21, 2014, 09:31:13 am
Someone make a texture please
Fully textured!

Devs please add, credit to Artemis13/Isseult for the plate textures!

Old Mesh Download Link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/5qd5d46jbdcmnip/plateddonkeydark.rar)

New Mesh Download Link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/c6ige3bcj26b16i/plateddonkeynew.rar)

Suggested Stats:
hit points: 99
body armor: 45 - 58
difficulty: 1 or 0
speed: 22
maneuver: 30
charge: 10

Price: 36150 or 20007 gold
Formula = (((price of milanese plate)/(price of milanese plate / price of donkey)) + price of milanese plate) = (((31632 / (31632 / 4471)) + 31632) = (((31632)/(31632/4471)) + 31632) = ((31632 / 7) + 31632) = (4518 + 31632) = 36150

If I get time I'll do it.

Edit: Fiddling some. UV map partly broken with rogue vertices. Stitching those and pulling things back into a smooth pattern for future easier use.

Most of the parts are ripped off from the Plated Charger, so you can use some of those textures if you need to. I'd port the plated charger textures over, but the plate armor was reshaped to fit the donkey mesh, so the textures barely fit anymore

Sure, I don't think I'll need to use old textures. I just found myself needing to fix the UV map some though - that will mean sending you the new .obj back with the new UV map. It's close, it just had a few vertices unstitched and flung to the far reaches, so I fixed those and then decided while I was at it, to remove as many distortions in the map as possible.

Would you like this armor to be fancy looking or more rough and ready?

Just make it something the devs would appreciate :P So yeah, rough and ready

If it was fancy looking then maybe it could be given as an event prize/raffle prize. I'd check with Tydeus before starting work on a fancy version though.

I might try and clear my throat and contribute a decent ass-like sound so they do not have to wheeeheeheeee anymore. Great suggestion and work so far! Only cav that has my love ;-)
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Artemis13 on July 22, 2014, 05:06:59 am
It's probably way overkill but sometimes I get a wild hair to do something specific. I've converted the model to high res, smoothed it, added surface details and dents, and probably tomorrow will get some time to give it materials and bump maps, bake the texture and apply it to the low res model. If not tomorrow, hopefully before the weekend. Work's a beeyatch right now.

Edit: I get asked about what stuff I use all the time, so just to cover that, so far it's: 3DSMax, Maya (sometimes I import between them, they both do different things better), Crazybump, Zbrush, Photoshop.

The only one being paid here is Tydeus for saying yes to adding this to cRPG, and the one doing the payment is James. It wasn't even my idea to do so anyways :P So yeah, plate donkey devs are being paid in having plate donkeys

I just meant in his RL job. Just because of this, he should get paid more in his RL job  :mrgreen:

She :)

And yeah, I'd love to get paid more in my regular job, though I can't complain about its stability which is nice. In the meantime I'm building a new 3D portfolio to showcase more current skills, software, and game engine experience for freelance - I used to do that a few years back but after a hiatus, you have to show that you are up to date so all my old stuff is pretty useless.

I hope as I get a little more free time I can poke around with some more textures and such here - it's always more fun to work on things you love.

Oh, and this little project tanked by game performance yesterday. Whoda thunk you couldn't run a bunch of 3D and art programs while playing CRPG? TOTAL MISERABLE DEATH

I had to fiddle around so much with pre-made models, and I still am daunted by actually creating something, instead of taking pre-made meshes and making radical changes to it... Which reminds me of Frankenstein

Lightning bolts don't count, they're really simple
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Artemis13 on July 26, 2014, 10:44:15 pm
It's a good way to start getting familiar with meshes (messing with pre-existing ones). That's how I got started years ago.

I'm reworking the high res model a bit. I didn't think the baked texture was interesting enough so I'm fixing some of the details. If everything goes the way I like, it should be done this weekend. I'm just always getting blindsided by stuff at work so my projections may or may not be very accurate :D

Please stop making items just to make them exclusive to a small player base. It is just silly. In my opinion, it should be available to all.

Done with the rebuilding of the high res mesh, creating textures now. Sorry it's taking so long. Life is 14 hour work days right now.

Sorry about the delay. Really couldn't get to it for a while. I'm including a re-UV mapped .obj, and a diffuse texture map. If more maps are needed, like normals, I can send that too.

I wish I had time to make this look nicer, but with the time crunch I'm in, I hope this will do for what you need. If not, I'll get back to it when the CrazyTime(tm) is over.

Nice work! I've applied it to the donkey model via openBRF

OP is now edited
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Artemis13 on August 05, 2014, 01:26:38 am
Let me know if the details fade out too much under the lighting conditions. I can pump up the contrast which will help some with that.
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Battlepriest on August 05, 2014, 09:25:41 am
I added chainmail, and a pic to the OP

I also changed the rigging of the armor so that it wouldn't swish along with the tail
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Battlepriest on August 05, 2014, 07:37:41 pm
Added a bumpmap to please Tren, I hope this is the final version because I think there are like, 20 donkeys sitting around in duel from testing over and over again
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Artemis13 on August 05, 2014, 09:21:48 pm
If  you want the original bump I can upload it. Probably tomorrow I'd have time. If you're happy with yours, no worries :)

I think the one I made is kinda derpy, I'd like to test out the original bumpmap in that case
Title: Re: Plated Donkey

Polished the bumpmap, NOW it's done
Title: Re: Plated Donkey
Post by: Artemis13 on August 06, 2014, 10:24:06 pm
Added normals map and texture2 (a higher contrast version, in case it looks better.) Normals map is a bit rough - I didn't polish it up or try to reproject it to clean up anomalies, but it might be fine for this. I just saw you did another normals map so whichever you like best, go for it!

is this still a thing?  Why is this not in the game yet?!  Also heraldic donks need work as well.  For about 15k we should be able to put our heraldry on our donks.
