IMO they looks good, of course they could look even better, but by "shity" what do you mean? colors? texture resolution? precision?

Aah, he was talking about anti-aliasing on the textures? On my machine the textures looks smooth enough, even at 1280x1024, probably it's the nvidia that does some kind of anti-aliasing on the textures, as i don't enable FSAA?

it works fine with other quake player models. i for example replaced the ogro model with the purgatori model just to test it and there were no problems, the animations were played correctly, as expected...

you just go into the models directory and change the jpeg or pcx file around with whatever program you want, i recommend photoshop... but any 2d art program will do just fine...

cube uses standard .md2 models as in q2 but with .jpg textures (higher colour depth etc...).

for map models, export/convert the meshin' you've done in your favourite modelling prog to the .md2 format. in milkshape 3d you will have to set 1 joint, assign all vertices to it, set the animation frames to 1, name your skin 'skin.jpg' before you apply it as a material on the meshes and here you go. export it to tris.md2, create a directory with your model's name in cube/packages/models, copy skin.jpg and tris.md2 into it, manipulate your models.cfg adding your model at the end of the file and you're set.

#11: Switching out models

by Sac Lunch on 02/13/2004 19:45

Im sure Im asking the same question that has been asked before. Im using the Cube in a class project and I need to add 6 new skins. I have found them at polycount.com but I am not sure how to import them or make them show up. I figured out the texture files and I am curious if it works the same for the characters too? Any and all help will be welcomed.

Thanks,

Sac

I want to add 6 new monster skins, but I seem to find only pcx files but no jpegs. I am frustrated and changing the file to jpg doesnt seem to work. I hope that helps.

afaik cube uses .jpg files for the model-skins. if you have an new skin for an already existing model (a skin that fits to the model of course) in .pcx format, just load it into your favourite paint-app and save it as skin.jpg.

Can't remember if it was for Cube or another program, but i think you have to check that there is no 'interleave', 'interlaced' or similar (feature for progressive loading of the image for web-pages) so that it can be loaded correctly. Usually this option can be unchecked in the 'Advanced' options in save/export dialogs of image editors.

#17: 2 monster models on my web page

by D.plomat on 02/23/2004 18:05

A while ago i converted some models, but (except for the two ones) i've lost their readmes so for many of them i don't know if their author'd allow me to modify'em and put'em on my page. Now i've recovered nearly all the readmes so if one day i'm a bit less lazy i may consider uploading'em.

you can get'em at(mirrors):
