3D-Player

[Krisi]

Yes , the texture is located in xxx/data/mods/default/textures/mt_player.png and mt_player_1.png

Sorry I was not clear, i mean: can we use our local texture on servers for example on stagingredcrabserver ?

Yes ... the textures provided with this 3D avatar provided by krisi are those coming from Cisoun I guess.. No particular constraints to be use with any other custom textures. Anyway the server has to be patched aswell... 3Davatar client is not enough.

@krisi : Am i right ?... server patching is mandatory ?

First: Ive made the textures ^^ but Cisoun can gladly make some better
and yes the server must be patched too because the normal server/client send only the player-yaw (and some other stuff) to the server/clients but to rotating the head must the client sent the player-pitch too.

Gonna have to take a crash course in compiling. But other than that, this would go along great with my texture pack. Just need to add this to animals, and then you can really get attacked by a like-like XD

Please compile and give the file the link above!

I can't download the file

You should use another hoster like mediafire or Ubuntu One

This is quite awesome ^_^ would be nice to see the ability (further on obviously) to add 3d mobs etc via lua mods ^_^ which would call to some functions with sizes and animations etc :D

Either way great work can't wait to see more ^_^

EDIT: Will you be adding in the crouch animation for when people are sneaking...so we can like...hump things... ^_^

Suggestion: 3D torches, signs and ladders. :)

I'll gladly add 3d-animals .. I haven't looked at the patch but I assume only player cao is changed so this needs to be done to luacao too.

Yeh just the player cao was changed ^_^

You'll have to make animals more 'cubic' then. Like in minecraft.

I make some changes and then i upload the new version to ubuntu1

I am against it to add all about the lua api because i think it kills to much performance. Its ok to add to example block definitions or small scripts via lua but mobs or machines and they programming should be coded in c++.

Suggestion: 3D torches, signs and ladders. :)

Next i will working on 3d torches, mobs and so what but im sure someone will come and say a 12 corners torch are kill perfomance ^^

Just make 3d optional in minetest.conf

@Krisi a couple of people where asking for a diff/patch file I've pasted one here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/542711/ in case you want to link it in the first post.

EDIT: The above link seems to have broke new one here: http://pastebin.com/9Pi05NNa also the images: http://imgur.com/a/GorZp

wouldnt making a 3d player make Minetests more similar to minecraft? but i do like the idea though ^_^

Is it bad? If minecraft was first in making 3D player, it doesn't mean that's something like stealing content.

[sdzen]

i would like models the are less minecraft esque at least

links busted

What can you advise to change?

Im no good for ideas that dont envolve cats or buildings

Make player look like a cat house!

[sdzen]

did think of cat based 3d models but then i decided to sip my tea and it was too hot so I thought elseware

Link is still dead. :(

I've posted a diff patch on the wiki and links to the images (which need to be put in your /data/mods/default/textures/ folder)

http://c55.me/minetest/wiki/doku.php?id=patchsets&#in_progress

[dannydark]

@Krisi any chance of getting this rebased on the current master? a few changes have been made which break this patch.

also any update on the rest of the features you where working on for this?

[MirceaKitsune]

Wow... I just seen this thread. Fantastic work, I love it! Can someone make a video of it as well please?

Anyway, although I remember celeron55 saying he prefers sprites for players and creatures (like the original infiniminer), I totally support defaulting this once it's ready. It looks a lot better than sprite players, and I think it will be a huge visual improvement. What are the plans and news on that?

Only thing I don't agree with in the implementation (based on my limited understanding) is hard coding vertex / bone positions, for both animations and the mesh. My suggestion is making an animated model, and teaching the minetest engine to understand the format. Irrlicht probably supports this natively, but my understanding of the code is too little to say anything more. Only thing I really suggest is using a real rigged mesh, in any format that works.

Once there's a Blender exporter for the format Minetest will use, I can try to create meshes for mobs as well (I'm not good with animating however). Perhaps I can texture it also, since the blocky graphics make things easy. Also, some might be interested in a thread I made a while ago: http://c55.me/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?id=60

[Calinou]

Hardcoded models are good for that kind of game - no need for external models.
If external models were to be added... please no MD2 (preferably IQM).

[dannydark]

I also think hardcoded models will work better, although if external models are used then I think they should be made up in parts so that we can cut off peoples arms and legs! >_<

[Krisi]

First, sorry that i didnt reply a long time. I havent much time the last weeks.
Next: the "changes" i wanted to do were a better walk animation, smooth body rotation, better textures and some small things.

The 3D Model of the player were to this time splitted in 6 Nodes (6 individual models) but then i thought its better to make the player (and in the future 3d mobs) in one model/node that could be easier exported from to example from blender.
But first i must write a loader and a minetest-format because i think mt needs just a simple format. The vertices, animations and the texture should be enough.

But i re-upload the first patch to ubuntu1 and write the links to the first post.

Edit: And i upload a compiled Version for Linux64 but i think the least peole will it bring to start.

[jordan4ibanez]

i can't wait for that!

[cyberslayer]

nice =D 3D players at last

[JoseMing]

it works on minetest V0.4 dev-20120122-1?
