Never mind lol I forgot to add the luafunctions file to my main directory Thanks Gimpy73

I get this error when i try and run some of the code that MG posted awhile ago (basic scene loader etc.) any help on this ??? Thanks Gimpy73

Agree with Pixel . Keep up the good work Kevin , look forward to seeing this game in action B) Oh and im one of those who talk the talk Thanks Gimpy73

Looking great RVL

Awsome Josh. I have to get an iMac now , just to stop me drooling

Nice one RVL

Well Rick , i just load it into Cinema 4D and rig my character with one of the skeletons. Not sure if it works in other 3D apps like 3D MAX etc.. But i posted the link so people can try them out Thanks Gimpy73

Not sure if these are any use , but ive had some fun with them in Cinema 4D http://sites.google.com/a/cgspeed.com/cgspeed/motion-capture/cmu-bvh-conversion Thanks Gimpy73

Thanks Pixel and DaDonik. It did take abit of time to get it this far (still learning animation) , and there is still a lot to do with it. But for a test animation , its not looking bad. Thanks Gimpy73

Well spotted Richard Thanks Gimpy73

Just another update on my WIP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GRAcOUu-54 Thanks Gimpy73

Thanks Pancakes. Yeah i play about with sculptris from time to time , and have looked into 3DCoat. I wish Cinema4D had sculpting and re-topology. I think i'll play about with Blender some more I've had no problems getting boned models into the engine tho , I save out as FBX then into UU3D , then save as GMF. Thanks Gimpy73

Well i think it a great tutorial Pancakes. Why do you add bones to buildings tho ??? Also you seem to be great at using Blender , i've looked into Blender 2.5 and like the fact it has Sculpting , does it do re-topology aswell ??? Thanks Gimyp73

Yep got some fantastic tutorials on game artist Glad to be of some help mate Thanks Gimpy73

Oh this might help http://www.game-artist.net/forums/spotlight-articles/10425-tutorial-full-weapon-creation.html Thanks Gimpy73

Very nice Evary As DaDonik said try and max out the texture space of the UV map. I use Cinema 4D R11 for all my models and textures (comes with BodyPaint). I can paint straight onto the model / i add the UV map as a seperate layer to use as a template , and then paint the parts by hand with a base color first , then i add detail (scratches / dirt etc..) as seperate layers. Then i flatten all layers when im happy , and save the texture out. Hope this helps Thanks Gimpy73

Thanks Paramecij. I'm still working on this at the moment. I also struggled to come up with a good pair of hands for FPS , and also had ideas on how it should look. But in the end i thought do a full character (first human ever lol) , get back into animation and see about doing the hands later. Its abit of a long route just to get a good pair of animated FPS hands , but i'll have a generic character as a bonus at the end of it Thanks Gimpy73

Cheers Aggror and Richard. Now that its rigged i'll work on a texture for it , then do more animations. Then take the hands and arms off for a first person view with the weapons Thanks Gimpy73

And another. More Zombie like me-thinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMMwiMdNfFA Thanks Gimpy73

Ok nowt fantastic , but it shows my character is rigged and animated Blink and you'll miss it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htRtLIiVdtE Thanks Gimpy73

Totaly amazing Michael . Thanks Gimpy73

Nice one Mumbles. time to start learning C++ Agree with Vetal tho , blue on black is a little hard on the eye's Thanks Gimpy73

Ok Richard Make sure you put these files in the correct directories: LEThora.zip LEThora.dll , Lua5.1.dll , lua51.dll , libtheoraplayer.dll . (These all go into the root of your LWE install directory) EG: my setup = c:\LWE-2.4\ Video.mat goes into the materials folder of your LWE install directory EG: my setup = c:\LWE-2.4\Materials\ nio_util.lua , video.lua go into the scripts folder of your LWE install directory EG: my setup = c:\LWE-2.4\Scripts\ mesh_video.frag goes into the shaders\mesh folder of your LWE install directory EG: my setup = c:\LWE-2.4\Shaders\Mesh\ trailer_400p.ogg/bunny.ogg need to also go into the root of your LWE install directory EG: my setup = c:\LWE-2.4\ Hope this helps m8 Thanks Gimpy73
