Hey all,

would anyone be willing to whip me up a model of a Bell, similar to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ZygmuntDzwon.JPG ?

doesn't have to be particularly high poly, but passable.

thank you!

This is just a model and an unwrap. Someone else's going to have to texture it.

DrRickDaglessMD · « **Reply #242 on:** July 11, 2008, 06:12:11 PM »

thanks for taking the time to do this Eiii!

I'm having a little trouble with the .blend file though - I've no experience whatsoever with blender, but when I load bell.blend up I can't see any meshes or anything.

Anyone have any ideas? At the time of this reply the file has been dl 5 times, so has anyone else had this problem? Am I being a massive n00b?

Shift + F5

in other words, I'm a massive n00b. Cheers!

Haha did you see my post before the edit? It just read "Shift F5, newb."

*y00tz waits to see if Dag can get it in the game on his own

Yes, its quite easy. Make your 3ds. Save them and then import into either Blender, Milkshape, or even ~~Wings3d~~. Once the model is imported, export the model as a md2.

If you have any more trouble, pm me.

Not wings3d, that won't export md2 or smd/skm...

Oops, nice catch. Blender is the only modeler I know of with a smd exporter plugin.

M-A-Zing · « **Reply #250 on:** July 16, 2008, 06:57:06 PM »

umm..... is there something i am missing to export skm? i cant find it. what is the plugin thin and how do you get it?

And coming soon, the y00tz way of making SKMs work in game (almost finished)

I.   SKM Overview
a.   SKM vs. MD2
b.   Disadvantages of SKM
II.   Creating a 3DS (Optional)
a.   Downloading Wings 3D
b.   UV Mapping (very basic)
c.   Exporting a 3DS
III.   Creating an SMD
a.   Downloading Blender
b.   Downloading the SMD script
c.   Importing a 3DS into Blender
d.   Exporting a SMD from Blender
e.   Alternate ways of retrieving an SMD
IV.   Creating an SKM
a.   Downloading SKModeler 1.2
b.   Updating modeldefinition
c.   Compiling

is this coming out anytime soon, it would be a great help.

It is. I am helping. Stay tuned.

It would be nice to have some vines for show. Are models climbable? Because it would be a nice addition to a variety of climbable(i.e. fence, ladder, vines, etc.) Also some of the links in this thread aren't working for me

Mostly the ones by S8NSSON, so i can't see any of his models

y00tz · « **Reply #254 on:** May 26, 2009, 04:33:19 PM »

s8n changed jobs at one point, I think he lost his hosting.

RiMiNi · « **Reply #255 on:** May 27, 2009, 02:23:29 PM »

and no models are not climbable but you can put a clip brush where the model is and make that climbable

Weee, reviving topic!
Started to have fun with Blender lately, and I decided to make some models for pb. For ****'s sake I couldn't find any .blend to .md2 exporter (whatever link I found was no more active), then I found some .blender to .sdm exporter. My model consisting of meshes and particles wouldn't convert, so I decided to delete broom (cause it was broomstick that consisted of particles - my model was snowman

). It exported snowman itself just fine, so here's the time for sdm->skm, right? Downloaded Garret's soft and bah, errors all over. I gave up!
Here I present my model with and without broom:
(couldn't decide on format, so both .jpg and .png ;P)
P.S. If anybody is interested, I can share .blend files, so that it won't be a waste. Imho this snowman could look god on snow maps

_burnt · « **Reply #257 on:** August 08, 2009, 11:33:24 PM »

Nice, make some more models

For the model, it looks better without a broom, imo.

ViciouZ · « **Reply #258 on:** August 09, 2009, 01:55:03 AM »

Yeah, I'm not sure but the errors might have something to do with that fact that that's about a zillion polies. You need to use the subsurf tool (think that's what it's called)

Plus to export to SKM you need at least one "bone" in the skeleton.

Gamabunta · « **Reply #259 on:** August 09, 2009, 03:52:37 AM »

This model has about 14,5k faces

when I llooked through this thread I saw S8N's models having ~150. So should I apply subsurf modifier or just create one? Think aplying one may make the model subdivide totally?
I might try to make one model today with less polies and some bones and see if it's convertable.
