sorry 4 the doublepost my mistake

 

[Kimbo]

okay, so what do you need help with? like as in, exactly.

 

[achoozoo]

the cape and the shoulders, i would prefer him to have a dark blue or black cape, thanks so much again ur the best

 

[Kimbo]

hmm.. i dunno, where did u get the shoulders from? They might be abit hard to fix the uv since the shoulder pad shape is very complex...even for me (i use vertex mod to edit slight things like this, but in this case its..too much since the uv tool sucks)...

I mean.. its too much trouble... i dunno.. i am sorry..

EDIT: and from what im guessing you edited clotaire model?

 

[achoozoo]

those are actually taken from thearthas campaign screen back drop model lol heres a link of a pic of him http://www.blizzard.com/war3x/images/wallpaper/frozenthrone-800x.jpg plz can u do anything to make them look just a tad better, i mean right now they have peices of his hair on them lol and yes i think i used that model, but you have to say those shoulders make him look a hell of a lot better lol also can the cape be fixed, anything would be appreciated, thanks

 

[Kimbo]

Im busy sozz, i cant do everything, iv been busy with other stuff and im dam tired.....just open vertex modifier, select the shoulders then go to the uv thing and shift them so it doesnt include hes hair...maybe someone else might help you.. i just cant do everything i answer to :/ but i am trying to help..

 

[achoozoo]

The shoulderpads are way too highly detailed for Warcraft, first of all. You could easily recreate the same shape and idea with half the detail.

Second, your UV, as in how the texture wraps onto the model, for the shoulder pads would seem to stretch over the rest of the skin. If someone were to try to re-skin them, they would get the shoulder pad texture all over the rest of the model.

The solution would be to either

A: Re UV-map the shoulder pads so they can be re-skinned without ruining the rest of the model.

B: Make a newer, more simple version of the shoulder pads, which will UV-map much easier.

C: Same for the cape, you have to UV map it.

Maybe the solution would be to make a separate texture for the shoulders and cape, and UV-map them to that texture. That would be the more likely solution.

In short, this is hardly just a skinning problem. It's going to require a lot more work.

i have never heard of the ter uv before but what i get from what you have just posted is that i should seperate the models of arthas and the shoulders, i do not see why the cape should be seperated though as thsi cape is so simply constructed... also i am having trouble with attatch points, how do you attatch somthing to the shoulders because the closest i have found is chest

p.s. are you saying that if i seperate the shoulders you would be able to do them?
