CUSTOM CHARACTER: TENGU

[Endoperez]

Maybe Overgrowth has cached one of the old, broken normal maps? Or the LOD image made from it.


Another way to get the normal map corrected is to bake the Tengu the normal way, and then invert the blue channel in Photoshop. I should probably post that on the 3D reference thread. It could have saved you the time you now spent on experimenting.

to play as him, you have to spawn him in the level you want to play, and his spawn point should be a white cube, doule click it to highlight it the pres CTRL+P and the cube should turn green and he'll turn into the playable character.

Goddammit, how have all these other people figured out how to get characters working in game? I tried for freaking MONTHS and STILL didn't get it working. Feeling a toxic mixture of frustration and elation right now. It's so awesome that people finally got it working but now I have lost all my files I have to start again

So how did you get it working in game? Did you use Andridges page? Is there a resource you can share? Did you just plug away and somehow get it working on your own?

[JavaLodge]

I used a combination of Andrige's turorial, Korban3's tutorial, random advice from Korban3, and looking at existing custom character files. A lot of the work has already been done if you use the existing characters as a guide.

Here's what I've been looking at:

Hm, exactly what I was doing. I'm totally going to have a second look at this. Honestly haven't done much after the retargeting David did. At least now I know it's possible, whereas before I was relying on blind hope.

I can't be totally sure, but it also seems like people are still using the default rigging, and not using any custom rigs... I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes...

uff..... that almost made it work... as you see in the trend "SYMMETRICAL PROBLEMS"

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=16609

there was a lot... A LOT of try and error but Korban3, Last, BotheredMe, SteelRaven and Anton particulary helped a lot dismissing possible problems... and finally this trend... for the baking of the world tangent map, check this!

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU ENJOY PLAYING AS THE TENGU!

there's been much work from school lately...tried a new character for an animation but couldn't finish it... nevertheless when i get a little more time i'll make some new characters!

i have in mind a Grasshopper (Homemage to grasshopper manufacturer and suda 51)
a shark (would be cool)
a Bat (with mexian prehispanic motifs)
or a Female Bird character---
