What I am working on (renamed)
After looking at those pictures I worked on my texture and came up with this:Cruaich wrote:Hit Google, type in brains and get some refrence material.
It's starting to look like a brain instead of a piece of wood
Thanks again for all your help Cruaich.
Was trying to be way to professional about the tutorial. Anyway here you go.
PSP
Save your image as you would for a final skin in TGA format. This will be the base image you will edit in GIMP.
Now select the areas you wish to have some level of transparency and fill with a grey, the darker the grey the more transparent the alpha texture will be.
Invert your selection and fill white. This will keep everything else opaque. You should have something that looks a little like this.
Now save the gray and white image as Jar1A.TGA
If you wish you could have this as a separate layer in your PSP file, you will be able to edit it later if you so wish.
GIMP
Open your two images Jar1.TGA and Jar1A.TGA.
With Jar1A.TGA selected as your active window, select Edit>Copy
Change your active image window to Jar1.TGA.
Select Layer>Mask>Add Layer Mask…
In the Add Layer Mask dialog box select White (full opacity) and click OK
Select Edit>Paste. This should paste the Jar1A.TGA grey values into the Jar1.TGA mask and you should now see some level of transperency on your skin.
Now in the Layer window right-click Floating Selection and choose Anchor Layer
This will merge your pasted selection into the Mask.
Select Layer>Mask>Apply Layer Mask...
Select File>Save and Close.

Thank you for the tutorial! I followed the tutorial but I haven't viewed my model in game yet. I wanted to created a test map in WorldCraft but I am having some trouble. I can't figure out how to add textures, since DarkPlaces uses Pk3s instead of WADs or PAKs. Does worldcraft work with DarkPlaces? If not what program should I use to make maps? I also tried using GtkRadiant but I agian had problems seting up textures.
I tried the model viewer mod for darkplaces that you gave me and when I enter in "model brain test/jar1.md3" nothing happens.

If you want to make maps in quake format you can use any quake editor you want - GtkRadiant, Worldcraft, BSP or others.
In quake format all textures are included in compiled bsps.
If you want to have maps in quake 3 format it's the best to use GtkRadiant.
In quake 3 format textures are not in bsps, they are located in PK3 files.

Uh, actualy it will load in modelview but the model clips the ground so the lighting dosen't reflect the way it should. If you turn the ground on you'll be able to see a black jar with a dark brain... ah the joys of game development yeah? That's actualy what got me hung up for a while on the tutorial... nothing I tried would work and I couldnt figure out why, then I remembered that bug with other models.
Thanks. I darkened the pole:Cruaich wrote:Hey looks good! It seems your getting the hang of it. The only thing I'd do a little diffrently would be to darken the bottom part of the pole a little.

Its down at the bottom of the page.
Can't say I've every tried to do bumpmaping, but that may be an option.

What is your pile'o'skins? I'll work on the jar & lid, anything in perticular you think needs improment?Cruaich wrote:Boss429, light1 looks good. If you like I'll add that to our pile'o'skins.
There are a few little things I'd like to see done with the brian jar still. The brain looks great, I'd just like to add a little to the jar and lid.
