WFC2... new thread

you mean something like this?

notice the almost zero z-fighting 🙂

i had to put the gvms in a rar in a zip so that they were less than 102400... i'm sick of pumping my post count with continual attachment :P

overwrite the old gvms with these. it colors the 'winamp forums' text gold

hey cool! that's what i meant!

But could you perhaps make the name appear a bit later?! Cause the two objects come too close in my eyes. I'd wait untill "winamp forums" is at the top, before the name should come in.

Nevertheless, the lightning and reflections are awesome!

denkensiefursic, goddamnit! such a long name that i had to rar the file containg the model for it before i zipped it. :P still it looks all the more awesome with bigger words...

I havent subdivided that name yet so its very z-fighty, you can see how many triangles are there in some places.. i tweaked the timings and movement a bit more... tell me what you think.

needs the previous files

wfc2_n1.gvm
wfc2_r.gvm
wfc2_g.gvm
wfc2_w.gvm

i'll compact all the models into one file for the pack, or we could stick them in the subdir... whichever is prefered (one fairly chunky file or lots of small ones?) btw this is quite size hungry... its already about 2-3mb :P

yeah yeah... but it's just so cool! 😉 Isn't it possible in any way to reduce the filesize for the pack? I guess a 10mb packsize (containing all member's names as 3D-text) is a bit too huge, isn't it?

for the 'gvm files: i'd say there should be only one file in the pack, just to avoid confusion. Some unfamiliar people might think that those files are broken presets and wonder 'bout it (delete them etc).

You're gonna hate to hear this then: there should also be an 'h' on the end. denkensiefursich is how it should be.😛 The forums wouldn't allow the last letter, only 15 characters. 🙁

But besides the point, when I open the preset I don't see ^..^'s or my name. The "Winamp Forums II" renders, moves to the center, then moves up a bit more, and then I waited... and waited... and nothing came. Any clue why this is?

perhaps you forgot to put the needed *.gvm files into your avs folder? And do you have the latest version of triangle.ape?

I thought about that, checked everything I could think of. I dl'd the past 5 zips and put them straight into winamp\plugins\avs. J said he included the latest version of triangle.ape in the first zip so I don't know... I gotta feeling it's time for my 21st winamp reinstall.

good luck then!

i don't know what else could be the cause of it then.

odd that it doesnt work properly. try getting the new globmgr from the model thread if you dont already have it.

that h wont be too much of a problem sketchup makes stuff pretty easy

I'm back...

For the next deadline (for the remixes).. three weeks? four? or simply the end of the month again?

/seconds vote

/me thirds vote

Although I only need a couple O'days with my nolife status, but that's just me.

i vote for a month for the remixes, cause i have something called 'real life' to care about (no offense). actually i have to care a lot about uni atm.

I forgot to tell you something: I have NEVER EVER made a single remix :P

I'll try my best tho

Well end of the month = month... sorta. Almost. Who needs 5 days anyways?

Let me remix please, even though I've had no time or inspiration to make any presets.

ok tug, let's say end of may. also, can keep that in mind better 🙂

:: End of this month (= May 31th) it is then. ::

Mysterious_W: the presets have already been spread, but I'll see if I can send you some fun ones.

could post who got who´s presets to remix.
i wonder who has to cope with my shit.

It's a secret. That way when the pack is released, it's a surprise! 😉

Yeah only god...*ahem* WotL knows 😛

nice to have complete list of names i can finish modelling that text... will mail intro and fixed installer script when its done.

sorry i didnt make the deadline btw. i was working on something but i had some work come up and am incredibly broke atm... i guess i can refashion it into something for my pack 🙂

did you make any other presets except the intro, jheriko?
If so, couldn't you add them wotl? Also, then you'd have something for mysterious_w to remix! 🙂

New entries are welcome (of course), but I can't promise anything about them.
It all depends on who still likes some extra work within the deadline that keeps coming closer.

So if anyone wants some stuff remixed, be fast and hope the other artists have no real life.

heres one of my favorate presets from one of my paks that i made once in a blue moon a long time once past...

[edit]yeah, its kinda basic :P remix away!! 😁[/edit]

Hmm I was about to say that presets should be mailed to me, and shared afterwards, but posting here is even a better idea...

for all potential remixers on this^:
don't post the remix here, but just a note that you did (to prevent seeing this preset in tenfold) and send the remix to me, to keep the mystery going..

sorry, no additional time left. Im already spending too much time on the submitted presets! 😉

alooo..!! i'm new members!!

here is the other thing i was working on. its not finished at all yet :P

i still need to finish a new lighting model and to change the camera and crap to synch with a dm. optimise the model by removing redundant subdivisions and adding new ones to remove some more of the z-fighting (there is some still there if you look at the small details and edges of the wings), then cut it into thirds again and fill the engine holes with some texer ii... etc... basically... a lot more than a couple of minutes work :P

check it out anyway. its just the model with a 'light at camera' hax lighting system so you can see the texture materials etc... its a 2 part rar file which i then put the 2 parts into zip so they would be under the size limit... sorry for the hassle. the uncompressed gvm is 3mb :P
