Tom~ · Jan 28, 2010, 09:57 AM

You must buy Photoshop. I believe you must buy Fireworks, too. Dunno about 3ds max.

Awesome job, KiraKun. I'm impressed o:

Lucian · Jan 30, 2010, 05:32 PM

Very nice work.

3d studio max = $3,495.00
photoshop = $699.00
fireworks = $299.00

start saving up. or use torrents.

More progress. Remember pink is transparent in RO.

Need to do one more hairstyle, rig and pose 5 more characters, and I forget what else. Would like to finish it this weekend.
Thanks for the good words everyone.

Some old maps:

Haven't had time to work on my models lately. qq

Lucian · Mar 07, 2010, 03:03 PM

Thats amazing work, Kira.

Yukino · Mar 07, 2010, 09:47 PM

Very awesome pictures you got there =D!

Love the sculpture-like characters. I so want to try out that space map <3.

Keep up the great work!

Judgement · Mar 07, 2010, 10:37 PM

Cool. o_o

KiraKun · Mar 08, 2010, 03:19 PM

It was a project I was working on last summer. Once school started though didn't really have time for it.
Plus I regrettably have a short attention span.

Here's a nice video of it.

DeePee · Mar 08, 2010, 05:23 PM

Hm, technical question. If you model something in 3dmax, what tool/plugin do you use to export it to RSM format? I've been trying to get some models working ingame as well (save as 3Ds, then convert with the BrowEdit plugin), but the textures do not seem to work well. Seems as if the texture coordinates made in 3dmax are not applied to the model ingame, making it look just weird.

Nice work, by the way

KiraKun · Mar 08, 2010, 11:47 PM

i use the browedit plugin as well.
3d object converter might work, i havent tried it. There was another converter that came out before borf's but i forget what it was called and could never find it again. The difference is, other than borfs, you have to buy them.

freakyred · Mar 09, 2010, 05:42 AM

Oh so you were that guy with the space project on RUNE. Nice statues btw

KiraKun · Mar 09, 2010, 01:00 PM

i miss rune

Pandora · Mar 09, 2010, 03:10 PM

Yeah me too ^_^

Kisa · Mar 10, 2010, 05:06 AM

can you convert these models to a granny2 file?

KiraKun · Mar 10, 2010, 12:21 PM

Yes. But it's too much of a pain/I'm too lazy.
You can google a plugin for Max 8.

Darkanis · Mar 12, 2010, 12:27 PM

damn nice work you did there

KiraKun · Apr 27, 2010, 06:12 PM

Haven't had any time for this lately, but here's what the finished thing will look close to.

What happened to that space-ro project that could be seen on the first page of this thread?

I was wondering the same thing, that would be a REALLY cool project if it's still being worked on.

KiraKun · Apr 27, 2010, 07:39 PM

The space-ro was a summer project I had started.
Once school started I just didn't have time for it anymore. And unfortunately I have a short attention span so I lost interest in it.

I would have picked it up again when OpenRO was completed but since that seems to be dead too there really isn't a future for it.
Though I might just start making mod packages with a space theme.

Edit:
If you're interested heres a couple videos I had made about it way back when.

I watched those already.
The space thing looks insanely interesting, I hope you change your mind and keep it up, I would gladly play this.

Khaine · Apr 27, 2010, 09:03 PM

Aww thats too bad, like darkdevine said, I hope you change your mind cause that would be an awesome server

Lucian · Apr 27, 2010, 09:28 PM

I would defiantly play that server, no doubt. That'd be awesome.

Final · Apr 27, 2010, 09:38 PM

Why not release what you have to a team and let them finish what you started?

Kiyoshiro · Apr 27, 2010, 10:20 PM

I agree that you should keep working on that project. It's certainly a bright idea. ^_^
I mean, RO in space? That's quite a twist!

I barely had anything done at the time that I stopped, I could only release some unfinished models and (badly) written code.

I would like to continue the project, but the main reason I lost interest in it is the limited modifications you can do to RO.
The main thing is the limit to visual effects. Can't make new skill icons, can't make environment effects, skill effects, can't edit character displays.

I put my hope into the OpenRO team because of all the possibilities a custom RO client would bring.
The implementation of Ogre3D would have been a massive plus. Sergio had also expressed interest in the project.

But alas, OpenRO has become stagnant, and there are just too many limits on current RO modding to create what I had in mind.
If there came a time when all this was possible, I would gladly start working on it again.

Assignments all done. Finally got a bit of free time.

Part of an expansion I've been working on on-and-off for a few years.
The layout goes like this:

First there's the entrance to the dungeon. The dungeon is supposed to be a big mountain.

That takes you inside the first level of the mountain. So walk around walk around the exit would take you to warp A, which takes you to the exterior wall of the mountain.

Warp B on the outside wall takes you into the next level of the mountain.

After going through that level, the exit takes you to the B warp on the next level of the mountain warp.
Then you go to C etc etc you get the picture.

LemonCrosswalk · May 10, 2010, 07:09 PM

It looks really good. The only thing I can really be nitpicky about on the map is the lighting on the inside. I would stick to one or two colors or even just one. Of course, when you're all zoomed in inside of it, I doubt you notice it nearly as much. Good work.

KiraKun · Jun 04, 2010, 05:59 PM

Yea it looks a lot better in-game. The colours aren't as vibrant either.

School all done so I'm finishing this model. Going with this so far:

Will probably do more detail on the outer wall/ring/thingy.

DarkDevine · Jun 04, 2010, 06:43 PM

Please inform us if you release some kind of demo to play, I'm really interested in trying it.

Yukino · Jun 06, 2010, 02:05 PM

I love that statue model! It's really well-done. Just love your works

.

KiraKun · Jun 16, 2010, 12:55 AM

More posts about my statue thing.

Finished everything and brought it in-game. Weird error where textures wont show up on both sides of the polygon.
Don't think it used to do this, and I can't use older versions of BROWEdit to check.
Anyways, this is how it looks in BROWEdit and in-game:

Meimiko · Jun 16, 2010, 02:19 AM

That is gorgeous. Incredible!

Should I even ask how long that took you?

DarkDevine · Jun 16, 2010, 09:11 AM

Nice work.

Can't wait to play this.

KiraKun · Jun 16, 2010, 01:01 PM

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Technically I guess I could say it took me almost a year. The plans for it started in August when I collected screenshots, didn't start modeling until January, didn't do much modeling over the next few months but finished in April, and finally rendered everything out and converted it yesterday.

Further testing seems to insinuate that the error occurs in 3dsmax2010's .3DS format output. Earlier models that didn't have the error were made in max9 iirc.
Gonna try downloading older version of max and see if it fixes it.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Looks like I have to go back and edit every polygon to be two sided. I have no idea how I did this on my old models.

LemonCrosswalk · Jun 16, 2010, 04:31 PM

I think you need a monocle in your avatar picture.

KiraKun · Jun 17, 2010, 08:33 PM

Monocles are certainly cool. Pic was made by a friend of mine and I thought it would be funny to use as my avatar.

Anyhoo, model is FINALLY done. If anyone wants to check it out in-game heres a download link: [derp]
Just modify whatever file has your grf list.

I didn't make the prontera edit, it was just the one the server used, so credits go to whoever did it whether it be official or not.

Edit: Went with filefront instead of my actual site.
