Skins Shape/Form

[DredLord2]

I can chang the skins color, but what I can't do is chage the shape of a skin/model. I am changing the skin of a fish. I changed the color and the shaoe of it, but when I play world editor, it still is in the form of the OLD fish. People are saying to Alpha some out, but I have no idea how to do that. The programs I use are, Gimp 2, and Photoshop.

Its easiest to use Oinkerwinkles Vertex Modifier for changing the shape of a model.

go to tools, then look for vertex modifier.

I already tried using the program, but it can only upload MDLs and I dont know how to convert it to that.

Here is my method.

Use the Magos Model editor to find and convert the model I want into mdl
Use Vertex modify to edit the shape and such.
Then use Magos to reconvert into mdx.

Ok, I did that, and when i open it in Vertex.. these are the images I see... This looks nothing like a fish. Yes, I have used Vertexed modifier before. To do basic weapon removal.

and you did open the right geoset?

 

[DredLord2]

If by Geoset, you mean skin, yes.

 

[donut3.5]

By geoset, she means geoset...
Skin means skin, like the texture wrapped around the mesh.
Geoset is a small part of a mesh, or a group as it is sometimes called...
typically TeamColor is a geoset, the basic mesh is a geoset, then the bones are a geoset. More complex models, such as the Obsidian Statue have many, many geosets.

WTF is a mesh...?

 

[Kimbo]

Mesh is the model, its shape, its surface.


gosh.. i suggest you know about modeling and look it up before starting.

 

[DredLord2]

and you don't think I did!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? NONE OF THE TUTORIALS MAKE ANY SENCE!

 

[Kimbo]

They all do make sense, you just have to focus and re-read them not skim through them or think so lightly.

and don't smiley spam please.

 

[Guessed]

When you go to open the model, it will ask you which geoset you want to open. Pick a different one.

 

[DredLord2]

It's doesn't ask me for that. It usually does. I open it and it goes strate to the the image I showed you.

 

[DredLord2]

um... Is anyone gannasay something?
