That last cart is looking aweasome, it really improves from the lowpoly :O.
Im wondering why is everyone using Xnormal?? im curious, i just learned yesterday how to bake normals and doing it from inside 3dsmax looks fairly simple, you have a lot of control. But everyone is telling me to use Xnormal

You only need xNormal when you're working with sculpting software like ZBrush, Mudbox, Sculptris, 3D Coat and so on. When you're working on subdivision level 6 or 7, a simple OBJ text file describing the vertices is well over 100 MB! xNormal lets you bake stuff without rendering them in viewport, so it can handle stuff that most slows 3D applications to a crawl, and even stuff that's so complex most apps can't open them at all.

Thank you so much that made thinks much more clear, and im gonna try it assap!!!

I just uploaded a video of a platforming level I made.



Here's the level file:

16_red_desert.xml

(69.9 KiB) Downloaded 309 times

To play it, put it into your /Overgrowth/Data/Levels/Project60/ folder. It will replace your current Red Desert level, so if you don't want that, then place it right in your levels folder instead.

If you replaced your Red Desert level, then just load the Red Desert map from the main menu. If you placed it in your Levels folder and didn't replace your Red Desert level, load it by typing the exact name of the level (including the .xml at the end) into the custom level loading field on the main menu.

I'll be taking a closer look at this level in this weeks Overgrowth Weekly, number 8. http://www.ogweekly.com .

Haha, the prize is awesome

[Alpharius]

lol I almost thought the prize was a giant egg. Simple and fun nice

[Silverfish]

I'd be curious about if I'm the only one who can get through that level. And if anyone has made their own platforming level, I'd really like to play it!

hey guys, i was wondering... does anyone of you know how is the specularity controled on the decals??

I have succesfully done a decal but it has a damn high specular , it looks more like metal and it should be fabric

I know in the regular objects its controled via alpha channel, but it seems here the alpha channel indeed controls opacity so im not sure how to change it. I have used "ThickMoss" decal as comparison and it doesnt have this problem, but alphas are fairly similar and the xml doesnt point to a spec map??

anny ideas?? thank you .

And great map Silver, looks god damn difficult xD

[Endoperez]

The only thing that comes to mind is that you somehow have a wrong shader. I doubt it's something that simple, however.

love the price silverfish, and it's fairly challenging =)

I've started modelling a character after seeing/hearing there will be a character rigging tutorial in the near future, its roughly based on rabbot and robo_leader's very nice robot character.
Here is a little preview of what i managed to put together this morning

[SooSiaal]

Did some more work on the character, its almost complete, just some touching up to do and then start mapping "her"

[WillGreen]

Hey looks great SooSiaal, rabbot 3.0 maybe??

One little point is that im not sure but i think Og doesnt support glow maps so the green "eyes" will be a plain green color. Would love to see how you rigg it, im always interested in mechanical rigs so keep us informed

Also "her" lol haha

good job
!

It's possible to write a shader that uses emissive map. Green glow around the eyes will be more complicated, but basic glow should be quite simple.

[SooSiaal]

I wasnt expecting it to make it glow within the game, but if it's possible who knows

not really anything to show off about but it was interesting
