Could anyone who has it do me a favor, zip the 'maxsdkincludes' folder and send it to me?
Thanx

If so, I've found some info out you might want for use in Ultima.

Cool, ne? Expect me to upload some more useful stuff (like, oooh, a program and some docs?) tomorrow (well, later today, since it's past midnight).
Darkness: So you can't afford 3DS; you can't run Ultima; what's the difference? :D

is the bone positions taken straight from the .a files?
Post by: Alhexx on 2001-08-26 14:14:00
Fice: Yo, that's really cool! I was going to implement such functions in Ultima (and I will), but first I'm trying to view textures on the models (what seems to be hard). Perhaps, when I'm able to view the textures, I'll build in a hrc-reader and animations...
(ahhhh! that's going to be a fine piece of work...)
Oh, and how 'bout that wireframe view? I'm having problems with my 2D views...
Ang how 'bout viewing the bones? Like in Milkshape, know what I mean? I'm thinking of making the bones visible throught the model.
That's all for now. Like I said, I don't think I'll be working on Ultima this week.
(But it's good to know that someone else worx on my problems :wink: )

I'm *very* busy at the moment (we're repainting a lot of the woodwork in our house in preparation for laying new carpets) but I'll post more tonight (including uploading stuff).
Alhexx: For wireframe views in GL, try glPolygonMode command - selects whether to, erm, render in wireframe or not :wink:

I'm pretty interested in this so I'm messing around with more things in this now :wink: For example, take a look at spiffy reflective surfaces below (hmmm ... could see using that in the Remake).

Oh, and where would I get this mesaGL?

but the program ran, and i couldnt open the LGP until i put alfana.exe into my LGPeditor folder.

fice: theres a model called "ifarna". coincidence?
Post by: ficedula on 2001-08-27 02:57:00
2) I don't know where to get MesaGL from, do a google search or something. I've heard it's OK though.
3) Arrrrrgh! Crashes! Is everyone SURE they're running the latest version of the Ficedula library code? I thought Ifalna didn't need it, but it got linked in by accident...
EDIT: Aha! How dare you post before me!
So the Ficedula library code DOES solve the crash? Phew!
MesaGL - I thought that had a software renderer too? I'm pretty sure it does, actually - that's why I recommended it for anyone having trouble with OpenGL (for non-game apps like Ifalna, software rendering is fine, of course).
There's model called "Ifarna" because Ifalna is the name of Aeris' mother, remember? It's called "Ifarna" because Japanese doesn't have a separate R and L sound; it's kind of the same to them. Hence Barret is sometimes "ballet" (hehe), Reno is "Leno", etc.

That's why the app crashes. You've got to rename the dll into its 'real' name. I've had that problem, too, but I solved it :wink:
3DS: I still have no Max SDK...
This topic seems not to achieve its aim...

But I've got another error: when I select an animation and click on 'view model' - I get a message:
'2.966... is not a value float) or sth like that...
Fice: You know what that means? :wink:

I honestly haven't got a CLUE why it doesn't work. I'll upload another version tonight with More Stuff in it that may fix it.

The reason is, 2.9662 ISN'T a floating point value. Not in German, anyway. In Germany it'd be 2,9662 since they don't like using full stops for decimal separators.
Right. Now I understand that, it can be fixed. There'll be ANOTHER newer version out by the end of Tuesday. Groan.
UPDATE: Uploaded the next version now. Incredibly easy to fix of course, once I knew what the problem WAS. As an added bonus (a new version that JUST fixed one bug wasn't worthwhile) you can edit the animations in the new version. Tested BRIEFLY in-game and it seemed to work. Wai!

As for the textures, like I said, I'm currently doing a break in texture work...
I'm thinking of including a hrc-reader function first. But I'm not sure. Perhaps we should use Ultima for modelling and Ifalna for animating - that'd be a great alliance. What do you think, Fice?
Fice: Okay, Version 1.10 of Ifalna worx. That's good. :)
- Alhexx
- edit -
Just tested Ifalna 1.10 - I just wonder if it worx on other, non-german comps???

Post by: ficedula on 2001-08-28 23:45:00
At least Ifalna WORKS everywhere now :)
It should work under any local setup. By default, Delphi uses the local format for number conversions, which is good when the user's entering numbers since they enter whatever they're used to and it works.
It doesn't work when you're reading in numbers from files that're always in English format, like, oooh, the FF7 ones?
So Ifalna now tells Delphi ALWAYS to use English (decimal point = full stop) formats when reading in numbers. So THAT problem shouldn't occur again, whatever your setup is.

It'd be easier to make a physical clay model of the head, then scan it in and attach it to whatever body you've made for it. That's how the games and the movie was done.
If you can make a realistic head in Maya from scratch, I will truely be impressed.
Well, back to Lightwave! (I went back cause I ran into so many problems in Maya that I could fix in 5 seconds using LW.)

Now the downfall, pov is just a render. There is no modeler built into it. You use a C-like scripting language to create your pictures. But it's super simple to learn and makes really pretty pictures (http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2000-04-30/gt_city.jpg). Because pov's data files are all text files. It's super-easy to write a program to generate povray output. Converters are almost breain-dead to write.
