Questions (3DS Max & GunZ)

[trunksx]

Another question ...
theres another way to handle texture in 3d max? cuz i actually use alpha , additive but it doesnt look like the real .elu so i'm wondering if there another way to add texture.
The format of dds is dxt3.

So what are you trying to do; are you trying to replicate the second picture?

Its merely alpha/transperency, set the opacity map of your material and you wont have that.

Here:

First Make It Opacity Map Like You Have Already Done:

Spoiler:

Then Use These Settings For Alpha

Spoiler:

Go Back To The Base Material

Spoiler:

And Select The Correct Material View Type, As Well As Turning On It Being Viewable In Viewport

I did what you said, but why this happen to the 1st image

see?

why this happen? and also theare some part that disapper while the camera is rotating

Turn Double Sided On. Im guessing the reason you get that little area there that is see through comes from alpha that is neither black nor white, somewhere in between. When something is only partially visible it can cause little glitches like this. (Alpha test is used to stop this)

Use maiets character viewer to set the alpha clipping to 100.

Left: with clipping set to 100.
Right: clipping default at 0.

Here you can see that maiets animation also has this "problem".

Unlike you they dont blend the texture until it disappears using the visibility track.


Additionaly premultiplieng the alpha information has also an effect on the clipping.
Dont ask me which value affects the clipping @max's material editor, its possible that maiet used mcv's material edit functions for that.

I think this is the most useful and informative thread the past few weeks
/months and fllooded here lol _\|/_

You even got me here. I forgot that option was in the mtl dialog menu

I love threads like these great job guys, really helps teach this section things. I CAN'T HELP BUT BE REMINDED OF THIS AMAZING MOVIE SCENE.



"Did this make sense to you?"
"yeah, you?"
"YESSS :DDD"

oh if only I weren't too lazy to caption that on the gif.

It just feels so much like what I imagine some gunz guise learning things for the first time.

I CAN'T HELP BUT GENERALIZE YOU ALL AS TARDS, IM SO SORRY <3 I LOVE YOU ALL.

okay thats one of my ideas. so this is possible or impossible ? and how to

[Wucas]

This really has nothing to do with Max, 3D design, or anything like that but I'll answer you anyways

That is what we can an effect, and the game has it so when the NPC uses the effect as a range projectile. There is AI built in that allows effects to follow the person when guidable="true" in zskill.xml

So no, this would not be a simple XML change to make it work for weapons, since they follow their own set of rules. Range weapons =/= skills (or effects).

It would take source adjustments (and probably a whole new weapon type) for this to work
