Remaking the irrlicht's fairy

jotatsu · Post by **jotatsu** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 4:58 pm

Well since i have some free time i decided to remake this fairy that seems kinda old and creepy

with a new one, i expect more hot than the last one, work so far:

All in high-mid poly for now, work with MakeHuman, Lighwave and some texture paint in Paint Shop Pro. Probably gonna make some clothes with tangent maps, gonna steal the TGM shader again

.

[Update1]

Now a low poly version 2.6k triangles. Download below with low poly version half textured, high poly without textures in lwo and obj (i put the licence in creative commons share alike 3.0, dont know if there is a better more open one for 3d content).

[Update2]

Screen of the model running in the engine in the example 08.SpecialFx. Im loading the obj, because the lwo in not working (must be the version).

[Update3]

Remade most of the whole thing since exporting animation from lighwave to irrlicht is a pain in the ass. Now is in Blender. Added in the pack a normal map texture and a specular map.

[Update4]

Working in irrlicht in b3d scene, baked diffuse texture thx to christianclavet. Still a normals problem with gandalf or my model idk, so no dynamic ilumination for now. Package now include

- Blender with rig and walk cycle.
- Textures: Diffuse, Diffuse baked, normal, specular all 2048x2048 png.
- Original models: Low poly, High poly, ultra high poly with armor-details.
- Working with example 15 load irr file.

Some minor adjust in the blender->(x or b3d)->irrlicht, half the res of the textures convert to jpg and its done for the sdk i think.

Very sexy, though rather high polygon! If it turns out small enough, maybe we could replace the one in the SDK with yours?

Excellent idea, it would be nice to see some high quality modern models in the download along with an updated technology demo I think.

Yeah, I agree. Reduce the polys, throw some nice textures and animations on that model, and I would put that in the SDK. The models really are long overdue for an overhaul.

about time for sydney and the fairy to get some updates ^^
but if you wait a bit longer for makehuman 1.0 Beta1 there will be a lowpoly export function. (still waiting for Alpha3 though -.-)
and for the wings some simple planes with a transparent texture would look good, too. (see-through wings would be awesome ^^)

side note: how about bigger melons? makehuman can do better ._.

anyway nice job

Nuu till Beta1 it could be months, besides i can reduce the poly count later, meanwhile i need it model detal. I think the melons are fine, i make them bigger than makehuman exported it, more could mean a porn actress or something.

Btw i suck at riggin and animation so it probably will look as a poisoned fairy in the verge of dead of something.

Amazing idea! Good thinking..

1. I would also like half transparent wings.
2. I would also like bigger melons

Thats a really good start I would say, and maybe we could improve some other screenshots from the irrlicht main page. Its because I often read irrlicht isnt capable of doing nice graphics, or people ask if irrlicht is capable of doing this or that (graphics). But maybe its because most pictures from the irrlicht main page are really old and crappy, and thats why people think this. Other engines (I dont want to tell names) are in my opinion more worse and poorer than irrlicht, but they know how to set their engine in the "right" spot.

So what do you think about remaking some of the old screenshots (a new webdesign could be fine too)

In this topic I see only great ideas, at first better fairy and now xray ideas with improve (replace) screenshots on website and also improve webdesign

Irrlicht is really very good engine, but it's only good for peoples whos use it, other peoples when looking new engine see poor screenshot quality and they think... this engine is bad... so, We should change it

Thanks Nadro, exactly my thoughts! I hope others see it the same way, especially the irrlicht responsible persons.

i think they will be happy to change it, if the model is done.
