Are
there tutorials for Exporting to Unreal?
I
only have created the tutorials for exporting Quake 3 models from Lightwave.
However, I hope to create more tutorials so check back occasionally to see what's
new.
Are
there MPEG or AVI versions of the tutorials?
No. At this time I have
not posted AVI or Mpeg versions of the tutorials because of the amount
of space needed for such large files.
Where/What
is Modelview Config?
Once you have modelview.cfg
saved in your baseq3 directory start up Quake3.
- Press ~ for console.
- Type /devmap <mapname> (ie. /devmap q3ctf1)
- Type /exec modelview.cfg
- Now if you hit 5 on your numeric pad your should see your model from 3d person
view. Use the other numeric pad numbers to rotate around your model.
Do
I add the Messiah displacement plug-in before the Md3 plug-in?
Yes,
the Messiah displacer has
to come before the
md3 export plug in the displacement list.
What
programs did you use to create the tutorials?
I
used Camtasia by Techsmith
Corporation. I then did my post production in Adobe
Premiere however you can use a editing program that comes with Camtasia
if you want. Then I used Real
Producer Basic and the Windows
Media Encoder to create the streaming files.
Will
the tutorials run on a modem connection slower then 56k?
Yes!
The tutorial will run fine at any connection. However, the tutorials might
take a little longer to Buffer. Basically, slower modems need to download more
information before it will start playing. I have personally watched the movie
on a 24k connection.
Are
there any text version of the tutorial?
No.
Currently there are only the video version of the tutorials. However, a condensed
version of the tutorial is in process and it will be available soon.
Are
there any LWS files for animation reference that I can download?
Not
yet. I am currently trying to get the fully animated version of my tutorial
character animated and then I will post the LWO and LWS file online.
If
you don't want to wait you can use Michael Bristol's MD3 import plug-in to
import existing Quake Characters into you Lightwave scene. This plug-in should
be included with the exporter plug-in.
