we will try to shape your idea ...
MD2 is a good format,
if you agree pass me your concept art images and I get to work on the idea

if you want to let you experience a model of a 1x1 cube without textures in all formats using Misfit3D

Are you talking about making block shapes (for furniture) or mob shapes?

by **tonyka** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 22:30

I'm thinking player and mobs ...
but if you can incorporate any 3D model I would like to contribute ...

sorry for my bad English
powered by google ...

as I said in another topic, I do not know programming, but if it draw,
for furniture is enough "node box"
but falls short with the textures, and not how it works paramtype2 = "facedir"

and add 3D characters would give very good aspect to the game ...

you ask what you need ...
tools, characters, furniture ...
I'll draw it in 3d

Ok, lets start simple: can you model a kind of pterodactyl? Its wings should be spread, similar to this: http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/7/4/2/8/6/MTS_SynapticSim-939808-Pterodactyl2.jpg

When ParamType2 is "facedir", MT will calculate which direction a furnace or chest should face. The calculation is done in builtin/item.lua, in function minetest.item_place_node. Have a read through that function and see if you can understand how it works. This is how the default_furnace_front texture gets applied to the 'front' of the furnace.

Here's something else that might be useful to further refine the animation, should we get that far! http://art2shere.blogspot.co.nz/2012/07/sequence-photography-power-of-motion.html

by **tonyka** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:41

and I have the Pteranodon
formats:

original Misfit3D (mm3d)
imported: MD2, MD3

by **Stef** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:51

how can i open the files like .COB,.CAL,.CMF,. ...

by **tonyka** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:11

I have added to the previous zip (cal, cob)
Cal is a good format preserves the textures, and animation is by skeleton

by **Stef** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:13

But how can i see them?

by **tonyka** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:18

I have used Misfit 3D

by **Stef** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:23

oke thanks.

by **jin_xi** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 13:42

very nice model! Made me think about adding fossils to minetest...

thanks can be useful
I'm trying to improve amimación
I have to adjust the vertices to the bones
is a difficult task

by **Stef** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 15:08

are you making just a mod for adding mobs with interacctions (like badmobs or also good like pigs and cows, ...

by **tonyka** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 17:33

yes, I have in mind to do the dungeon master, and amimals wild

the program allows multiple animations in a single model

by **Stef** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 17:44

nice and they will drop food? and skeletons schooting arows or something?

by **tonyka** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 18:25

are files unrelated to MineTest...

to facilitate the work I've sent an email with a link to a shared folder DropBox

by **lesliev** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 22:38

Brilliant! I added the dropbox folder, that's a good way to share the files.
Ooh I can't wait to have it in the game!

Stef: step1: get the model into the game, step2: write AI.
I wanted a pterodactyl first because it can work as just scenery, with very minimal AI. But it definitely won't stay that way.

Tonyka: this is fantastic work, exactly what we need.

by **tonyka** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 05:19

I also want to see it grow, we will be creating more animals and monsters,
have forward to seeing how it works :D

I can use semi-transparent textures?
it might greatly help to create magic effects, or hair on specific sites like the mane of a horse, torn clothes ...

by **Stef** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 05:23

would e very nice guys, but i cant help you

by **cactuz_pl** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 09:54

I created an animated model, is very simple because it's my first. Anyone can use it for what it wants. It could be used as mob.

One more thing:
How to convert model like this into something like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: fixed={ {0.5, 0.4, 0.2 0.2, 0.2, 0.2} }

Or in other way to use model like this in mod as block?

An example of this type can not be created with nodebox ...
nodebox only allows the creation of boxes, with sides perpendicular to each other and parallel to the floor, Visit this post for more information:
Minetest Forums » General Discussion » New 3D Stuff! (tutorial included)

the proyect of Lesliev is precisely to incorporate a 3D engine, with ia to use mods in 3d,

anyway if you like drawing in 3d, I can recommend more programs ...

Wings 3D is the best I've seen to learn ...
once you have a good basis for creating polygons you can use more complex programs like blender

by **tonyka** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 21:08

new model, not finished ...

by **lesliev** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 23:04

Yahoo! Awesome piggie!

I have another request: can you make a snake out of MT blocks? Basically, the body would be just like your cylindrical tree trunk rotated on its side.

by **tonyka** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 23:26

if of course ...
the snake would complete 4 different blocks
head
body
rotating body
tail

the only fault he has, is that the texture coordinates are fixed to the world

Oh? But how do TNT blocks move then? Their texture is relative to their surface?
I will play with it a bit. So many plans, so little time!

by **tonyka** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 01:21

I mean they do not rotate around its own axis, if you place a block in the world with facedir north-south, and another south-north, superior texture does not rotate 180 °
this has given me many headaches to create the loilet and sink ...

by **Stef** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 05:33

hmm i like it but it would be better if it was more blocky i think
