Author Topic: Models without a script  (Read 769 times)

Where do I put models without a script?



I mean it's not really an add-on, but I want to release the model as a resource

couldn't decide to put this in help, mod discussion, general modification help... just decided to put it here

I'd probably put it in modification discussion.

Yeah, make a topic where you release some of your models as open source in mod discusion.

Can someone say Model Dump?

This would be good for people to post dts's for people to muck around with or ms3ds or blends for other people to edit or learn from.

This for now.

Also I like the idea of a Model section, it would help improve the ties between  modeling program-less scripters and modelers anyways. I imagine model-providing posts would need some structure though, like providing a mesh/bone Hierarchy as well as the name of each animation sequence provided (as well as if they're cyclic, blended, and whatnot). This stuff is usually hidden, although the animations can be exported as a .cs file just to give a scripter an easy list of sequence names to go by, still the information about the model itself apart from how it looks is limited unless the modeler tells everyone the specifics. That would be required.

It's a common problem that occurs in joint projects, it's the lack of communication because no one really knows what the forget to ask for and what the other person wants to do exactly. It's like for example, the scripter needs a very specific animation because he had a cool but complex idea in mind, but he doesn't know whether the modeler could do any of that stuff, or the modeler tries and fails to do it. Both of those risks are present so the scripters naturally don't even bother and many things are never realised.

Something like a Model section would push people to actually learn how to model properly, mostly like a competition and a chance to get their work rated. They would also get pointers on the models and new ideas on how to improve their overall skills. It would be a fantastic idea.

Can we do this on Creativity?

or not?

Oh sure, but it would be nice if there was a section dedicated to models so they don't end up all over the place.

That will happen no matter what, I mean the Help threads always end up somewhere else other then Help when it clearly says HELP.

There's that, but if a section were present this would only happen to people that don't read. These people aren't usually very, shall we say, competent, anyways.

The section would be around for people who take this a bit more seriously.
