 Re: ~Strange Worlds~ All Forums Open Amateur Contest!   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
looks cool, how does one join?


HiHosilver, gave you instructions of how to join in that thread.

Registration/Entry to Contest:
Several forums shall host an official thread for contestants to track their progress. Forums thus far set up as official contest tracking sites include:


http://animanon.xtreemhost.com/
http://anim8or.org/

As I said before only two boards are running this comp anim8or.com is not one of them.

Check out our essentials board and download Genetica There are some excellent Ice materials that you can use

http://animanon.xtreemhost.com/index.php?board=36.0

you might like to try Genetica for a lot of textures (its free!)

I cannot remember the site name off the top of my head but there is a link at our
site together with link to textures

http://animanon.xtreemhost.com/index.php?topic=39

You will also find loads of "essentials" that might be of interest!

load in the obj ....go edit ...select all press / three times to reduce size.
now go edit...colour...colour by gruop
then again edit....select....select by group
u should now have selection for the meshes
select your first mesh ...  then drag from selection box up to middle of screen, u can press * on keypad to make bigger / smaller
once it looks good  go select...New Umap ....planar( or whatever) u might have to play with all the settings to get each mesh right...

repeat for all other meshes once you have done all the meshes go File...save model... ok the box then save the model like modelmapped.obj  so you know its a mapped model,
 then file...save texture map
save the map as something that relates to the model


now use the texture mapped file in gimp, photoshop etc ...
overlap each mesh by a couple of pixels otherwise u get white area on outline

reload into anim8or as obj model  then usr your texture as material

Hope this helps.
I will try and do a better version ... which u will find later on Animanon

nobody seems to want to reply to you Tohron... so I will ...
try going into face mode select the faces of the part you are trying to disconnect, then  edit/Detach faces or keystroke Shift D

then move them out
