*dance* THose are very, very, very nice Awesome work, Jorzi. :cheer:

Ditto that.

Also looking forward to shooting Machinima featuring these pups.

Attached the .pie and .3ds, as well as the needed textures.
Since WMIT doesn't yet support connectors, I had to write it in after exporting, approximating the coordinates visually, which may not give optimal results.

I can export it to pie2, if you want..

[Jorzi]

Yeah... well, I strongly prefer floating-point vertex coordinates...
Maybe I should try updating the script, since I know a bit of python, and my programming skill has improved quite a bit since I took two courses of java at the university...

blender 2.49b's pie plugin chokes on this.

importing .3ds wont let me unwrap for some reason to add the texture.

[Jorzi]

hmm... the 3ds file should have all the uv-coordinates it needs...
Anyway, I'm uploading a compressed .blend with all you need

does it have the same size the origianal transport has?

[Jorzi]

unfortunately not...
I made this one without any reference, so its scale is totally arbitrary...
I scaled it to 32 in WMIT, so that the body is approximately 1 square wide.

wmit doesn't apply scale transformation when exports to pie. (SaffetyOff hasn't finished the main functions yet)

[Jorzi]

Wait, what?
Too bad, wmit would be the ultimate pie export tool if it only was finished...

Thanks for the packed .blend file Jorzi. That model looks AMAZING up close and live. Finally got me to install Blender 2.57

[Jorzi]

Glad you like it
Blender 2.57 is indeed a great package, although the model should work quite well on 2.49, too. I mainly used 2.49 on my home desktop computer, since it has everything needed for game asset creation, but now that I work on another computer I've started using 2.57. It has some improvements mainly for texturing, like improved brushes for 3d paint as well as much faster baking/rendering, thanks to its improved raytracer. The interface is also simpler and more flexible than 2.4x, althoug it takes a little time to adjust for it.

Wondering if anyone has gotten a .pie of Jorzi' new transport running in game yet ?

I ask because I'd like to start creating a test Machinima using it sometime next week (a change-up for me from voice-over & music efforts). This is to determine the viability of using WZ machinima at least as one component in making the Mission Briefs for Goth's CAM 4..

Thanks, Rman.

Rman, I believe it's working (mostly) in the newest version that has the new shading stuff and Jorzi's patch. Not sure if it's even on the nightlies yet.
