Why Does Gunz Hate Me So? (Texturing Problem)

[Wucas]

Photoshop people I have a question.

As most of you know, I am not the strongest in the field of texturing, pretty horrible in fact... which is why it is no surprise I hit a snag while modeling. I am designing a flag system for usage for capture the flag. I decided to create it like a portal (world item), and trying to stay with the MAIET "feel" I wanted it to have quite a few effects, and have it fairly translucent. This is my first time really messing with effects at all, so I just did some simple motion blurs and such, nothing to fancy at all. That fact is my alpha channels aren't working like I want them too as soon as it is exported into the game.

Is this a Gunz Problem, or a texturing problem, or what? All I know is it is frustrating.

Here is what I mean. This is what it should look like


And this is what I get


I thought the Alpha channel looked pretty clean, but maybe im wrong?

i think it has more to do with the texture settings in max or blender , in blender 2.49 there are 2 types of alpha modes one just clips to the alpha 1 and the other actuallyt blends i would look int othat rather than the textures :o

It's your Alpha Channel from what I'm seeing it. Or your exporting option.

What they said,What server are you working for P.M me which I wanna play :))

Disable premultiply alpha at the material.
Should fix your problem.

[Wucas]

I got it working.

(The tiny flags follow characters camera, thats why they arent moving in the images)

That's pretty neat.

Would this be released anytime soon?

What about this "Capture the Flag" you speak of.. Where can I get details on that?

[Anju]

Very nice. Now you should make a flag on them so they know who has the flag

it would look better if you just kept the text instead of the text with a background.

Still this is amazing :D

Meh i didnt like how it turned out, but i had a limited time to make them due to other projects....

As for it being released ask vusion, he asked me to make him the two (red/ blue) flags

I will probably make a guide/ release with an introduction to animations, but i need to finish my map first.

Was this comment pointed at me? I solved the problem i had and have no intention to code ctf, i just made these because omar asked me to.

Meh, it was my first time at special effects as I said, it didnt turn out as expected, O well

I spent max of an hour and a half on the whole project, by the time it was finished, it would of taken just as long to "fix" it as it would to start from scratch. I just stopped and continued on my other things.

Im better with solid objects anyways =o
