SW4 Tank - help needed

[bhiita]

noise, I didn't add any noise

I know you talking about the lighting

 

[Piernik]

I mean the texture with different spots, but not in so high contrast

 

[bhiita]

Ahh...I was useing an option called 'mix streangth'
The only time I saw 'noise' was whene working on the lights.
is that what your talking about? how strong the texture is shown.

 

[bhiita]

here's medrust3 @ 75% as aposed to the previous 10
is it ok?

 

[Piernik]

ok

 

[bhiita]

Begin...................animation?

 

[Piernik]

you can darken the lower part (gray) of vehicle... that one with other texture that the rest

 

[bhiita]

:edit:

 

[Piernik]

ok - animate it but the upper part leave with that 70% of rust

 

[bhiita]

Yeah, I still don't understand what just happened

but the upper part leave with that 70% of rust

This is what I meant to do.

 

[bhiita]

Do you think it should have it's own preview thread now?
And I was thinking the big picture could be the cvilopedea picture
or should I do another with a different ground, makeing it look more realistic. Or do you want to do that stuff?

 

[Piernik]

No... All preview of animation can be in that thread And about civilopedia picture - first make all animations

 

[bhiita]

How do you make an object or texture absorb shadows?

 

[Piernik]

I don't know what do you have on your mind?

 

[bhiita]

I'm trying to fix it up for ease of rendering/patseing.
Thought that I could possibly change the shadow to red but there's a big red stripe from the barrel
The reason I'm trying all this is because it want's to render true color. The only thing I have an option for is 8 bit.

what is DPI? is that what I want to change? it's on 72 now.

 

[Piernik]

About red shadow in a place you don't want it to be... I don't know how's that in your software, but I have Exlude option... And then I Exlude objects that I don't want to have red showds. That option should be somewhere in light opitons. You have to look for it...
When rendering turn of anti-alising and render to normal bmp. You'll change bmp format later, after creating Storyboard

 

[bhiita]

I have an exlude option with the light but I don't know how to select an object for it I'd read the manual, but I don't have one.

My baby ate it

:edit: I decided to download the manual It was the right thing to do. I've been putting it of because of it's size. but the zip includes tutorials Soooooo......after 3 hrs of tedious waiting at around 4.5 kb/sec I've only 4 min left

 

[bhiita]

I must say, I'm a bit stiffled by the mechanics.
How is supposed to recoil? Or does it supposed to recoil?

 

[Piernik]

As you want, but I think that it should recoil after firing, but not hit the ground Give some preview

 

[bhiita]

Ok, after some unknown technical difficulties I've got my main hardrive working again
Here is the pre-prerview of the attackA

(I'm still figureing out the animating and trying to make it look good with as few frames as possible)

:edit: forgot to post it this post, to big for next one.
