Did you use the Pop'n'Fresh exporter for 3dstudio Max? If so, this problem is caused by the exporter. You can fix it by loading up each MD3 file into Npherno's MD3 Compiler, rebuilding the normals, then reexporting. Edit: nevermind, I noticed you solved it already. However, maybe my reply can help s...

You can put the command "fixedlegs" inside the animation config file to prevent tilting of the entire character as it runs. You can put the command "fixedtorso" inside the animation config file to prevent rotation of the torso at the waist. There is no way to prevent rotation of ...

The lighting on your model appears to be working correctly. Quake 3 does an overall gamma correction to fake the effect of overbrighting, though, which makes any textures appear brighter ingame than in your image editing program. There is no fix for that, other than simply adjusting the texture to b...

I was facing exactly the same problems when I was working on my first character for Quake 3! Glad it worked out.

So did you manage to get all the pieces aligned correctly in the game, then?

Some software doesn't like it when you try to move or scale fully rigged characters. Try selecting only your origin bone (normally found at the pelvis or waist) and moving only that. Effectively this would animate your character into the new position. This should keep the integrity of your rig and n...

Oh, I see! I'm a noob, derp.

Upon exporting the torso, the torso tag has to be at the world origin (0,0,0). Upon exporting the head, the head tag has to be at world origin (0,0,0). Some exporters can account for this, with others you may have to manually adjust the scene before exporting each part. Meshes do not have to be seal...

Your archive appears to be corrupt. The game doesn't recognize it, and I can't open and browse the pk3, either. Try re-uploading?

I have no idea what "consolidate into one image" means, is that a Blender thing?

If you put up your file for download, I can have a look at what's wrong, though.

The animation does get baked down as vertex animation upon export, so you can use whatever tools you need to animate your character. So yeah, you would just rig your character. You could even use advanced features like morph targets or cloth simulation, if you felt so inclined. You will need an expo...

With character textures you can simply use any texture size, as long as the proportions are kept the same.

@ Hipshot: My plan is to make a bunch more of them. It's never too late to make a skin for Quake 3, is it? :D @ Eraser: I upgraded the main body texture from the original size of 256x128 pixels to a larger 512x256 pixel sheet. I kept the head and chest textures at the original sizes. I did that beca...

Thanks guys, glad you like her!

@ mrd: That's what I do for a day job, actually. So In my free time, I like to kick back and have some fun with the oldschool stuff!

Hey guys! I finally finished this skin for Mynx. I had to shelf it for a bit when I went on a Christmas holiday, and only got back to it now. Download from Worldspawn: http://ws.q3df.org/model/mynx_blackrose/ [lvlshot]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2167961/q3skn-blackrose-render.jpg[/lvlshot] h...

Thanks for the reference! I haven't quite decided yet what to do with the costume design, so I will have to experiment for a bit.

I started on a new skin for Mynx. :D https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2167961/mynx_wip01.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2167961/mynx_wip02.jpg I blew up the texture for clarity's sake. The actual resolution I'm painting at is 256x128. The weird stretchy part you see on the flat texture i...

I played your map and liked it. The texturing has a cool theme to it and the lighting is good. The gameplay might not be ground-breaking, but it works for me. The billboards are a bit garish unfortunately, but I realize that's a contest requirement, so it can't be helped. That said, I would like to ...

Polycount is now a forum aimed at professional game artists. Lots of people post pictures of their 3d models and environments, but usually nothing is downloadable. It's still a great place to learn modeling and texturing for games, and the quality of the art has increased vastly over the old days. H...

I'm glad you like it, guys! :) Good catch, obsidian! I can't believe I missed that, LOL. I'll keep it in mind for next time, since I also already submitted this version to the Worldspawn Archive. I haven't done weapon skins before, but I've done props and level textures. However, those were for othe...

Originally, I finished this skin in 2006. At that time, Polycount had stopped posting skins, so I never released it, thinking there was no community left for it. Now that I found this place, it seems like a good time to release this skin afterall. However, my painting skills have changed a lot since...

Very nice, EmeraldTiger! I really like how those colors work together.

It's unlikely this video is still around. Your best bet is to try and find similar stuff. What exactly are you having trouble with? Have you modeled characters before, or is this your first one? If you're new to modeling characters, any video on head modeling will teach you valuable techniques. Maki...

This is great!
I'm not a mapper myself, but I can't wait to see the awesome stuff I know you guys will come up with!

I'm working as an artist at Streamline Studios Malaysia.
