So what do you think?

A nice ghost?

It is a more detailed version of the ghost in "My Mystic Date". Since I have problems with the textures (Is Eric (Audity) around here?), I end up with a ghost..... So your a Moderator now? What happen with Varian?

Varian left this Forum, so did Mike. Varian is almost the mod of the 2D forum and some other I think. Mike is for the moment busy somewhere else. But we do not loose them:-). Varian is often here and Mike will be when he comes back:-). BTW have you voted for the April challenge? If you like, please do so, the address is above. And the images are HERE Guitta

Hi Alekssander !

Where have you been lately ? I'm glad to see you back (we miss your excellent free models )!

You did a good job with this ghost. I guess - correct me if I'm wrong - that you have a problem with UV mapping...

;) Eric

Very interesting thing ! what modeler did you use ?

gebe: Ok... I vote on the lower "vote message" :) Eric: I'm very busy. I have to studie and work on the same time. I'm going to a one year 3d graphic studie in the autumn. :)) I'm working on some free dxf models at the moment ;) How do the paint panel work in Metasequoia ? YL: I use Metasequoia LE R2.1. I have forgot the link though....

Interesting, it is in a magazine I bought this week. Maybe'll try it ... Yves

Well I managed to get the colors. YL: If you manage to make some good eyes, please tell me :)

Yves :
I guess it's the french magazine "Studio Multimedia" (the worse 3D mag in the world don't you think ? but the CD rom is OK, there is always one or two useful freeware/shareware.)

Alekssander :

In Metasequoia Le you can apply texture by using either :

• the "attach material to face" tool
  and / or
• the "paint mapping bitmap" tool

First you have to open the material panel (Ctrl+M). Click on "new" to create a fresh material and double click on it to open the material properties window.
There you can edit the material (color, specular, texture mapping, bump mapping, etc...). Afterwards pick the "fill" tool ("attach material to face") and "paint" the texture on each polygon of the model.

The "brush" toll ("paint mapping bitmap") works in similar ways as Body Paint, Zbrush, etc... it allows you to use brushes to paint directly on the model.

There is also UV mapping but I don't know exactly how it works...

I think that Metasequoia is a nice modeler but concerning material and textures you should use another software (VUE ?).

I always save my Metasequoia models in Truespace COB format, VUE 4 can read this format.
If I need UV mapping, I convert these COB files in OBJ files with Crossroads (free 3D file converter) and load them in the UVmapper made by Stephen Cox (it's also free, get it at : www.uvmapper.com).

Eric : Maybe :LOL: PS: -I was speaking about "Studio Multimedia" but in fact it's only the second time I bought it. Usually I buy "3D computer arts". -concerning the eye why not ? it's something like a muddy weird thing, isn't it ? :LOL:

ummm, I forgot how to make a LOL emoticon, shame for me !

Heya Alekssander! The ghost is looking good; I like the added detail. :)

Darn, why is it so difficult to make eyes. Any sugestions? Eric: Thanks, I'm going to try all of that... :) YL: Doesn't matter what kind of Magazine you buy, as long as you get a free CD or DVD, with free software on them. I usually bye PC Format, but I got no choice... lol.. Varian: Still up and running? ;) Thanks..

Still running, although most days it feels like I'm only running in place! LOL :D
