Talking Heads

Don’t be hard on yourself Conti, you’ve made some beautiful shit, and Fallout is all the richer for it. Everybody enjoys seeing what’s next on your dinner plate, if it’s talking heads – (I think I can speak for the overwhelming majority) then we can’t wait..

Edit -

Conti PLEASE don’t delete your source files, who knows what could be done with them in the future. Burn them onto a DVD or store them somewhere, but don’t delete them. I have thousands of files backed up at 3 different locations in case something happens to my computer. I don’t mind passing them on to anyone who is serious about modding Fallout.
 
Notepad! :aiee:
Long time ago I modified binary model format (all helmet's vertices moved into one point) in 3d game by using hex editor - game didn't have any problems with my version (true story). This is what I call hardcore modeling :lol:

you are kidding me? do you? :shock:


Heh a TH for the old Smitty would be cool. Of course for Metzger too, the chief of the town ^^ (one of my favorite chars in FO2)

But not for Vic. Vic sucks! ;)

For Tyler i made something with my very first (unfinished *g*) mod, years ago. cannot find it , but i have still the backgrounds.

Great stuff Mr.Wolna, can I ask how you built your images. Was it a combination of 3d and image software, such as Photoshop. Please tell…

On a slightly different topic if you actually look at some of the backgrounds you encounter during the game (have a look at Myron at the stables in New Reno) the background make no sense. The basement where Myron hangs out is built from vault walls but the background image depicts a shanty town (possibly Junktown from Fallout 1), these inconsistencies annoy the shit out of me. I think there needs to be a rebuilding of many of the backgrounds, so the art matches the location more closely, and when possible new backgrounds might need to be built to match. By the way Myron is my favorite NPC, the little shit…

The Backgrounds was made by Hope, not me. He uses only Photoshop.


Times ago i also made a "interactive" background.

Same picture, but diffrent lights.

Morning, evening, dusk, dawn. It change with the daytime.

another idea: whats about aniamated backgrounds? :lol:

i mean if there is an, waterfall (like dumar(i think in englsich he has another name) in arroyo). or a windmill or something like that^^

(just an idea ;) )

Where did Hope go anyway? he was going to join MR but then disappeared. He is really talented.

While we are on the subject of source files. I am sure PA RPG would appreciate them as well. They render using OBJs as far as I am aware. Conti, upload all of your stuff to the FTP for sure.
 
do not know, i think he has a lot of private stuff to manage, cause in our forums he is also not really often, the last years.

If he could teach the rest of us how to do them it would be fantastic.

I can't teach you - it's not possible. I'd need to write some uber gigantic tutorial 101 about modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering. Sure, I can tell you how I made a TH (assume you're using the same software as I). But learning all principles, UI of particular software, or where to click? No. This is something you must learn by yourself ;) If you got an average knowledge about doing 3d stuff you'll figure it out by yourself, and average knowledge is required to make something more or less good looking (I'm not talking about AWESOME things) - you don't need any teaching from side - circle closed.

Most shit I made (or even all) is not fitting well, because is lacking painting like feature. THs got all screen for themselves (excluding UI and partially covered background), so they're looking better than custom scenery pieces placed together with existing ones. Not to mention that organics is lacking hard edges, thus "3d perfection" generated by not post-produced render output...

Of course I'm creating backups, but in case of Fallout related stuff I'm simply cleaning this trash - most of stuff was half-arsed and really messy anyway :lol:

With Notepad - yes. With hexeditor - no.

PARPG is open source project and ALL textures I'm using aren't compatible with their license thingy.

Only mountain and junky house left... But yes, I'll forward mountain files to you as soon as force myself to load the scene and export stuff from it.
 
Here's a shot of that Metzger's head I posted earlier:

metzger.gif


For preview purposes I borrowed Mr. Scarface's texture. Fallouty or not Fallouty? :ugly:
 
Some sort of scarring should stay, as I would imagine a slaver to have had a rough time in life.

I assume the brand will be added at some point - though I'm not sure about the one that was used previously. An eye is usually a symbol of power and knowledge, not really appropriate for a slaver.

Also, while Metzger should look old'ish, I imagine slvers don't have long life spans ;) so I would still expect facial hair to be dark.

Just some thoughts.
 
It's a good head but it looks a bit generic (No offense intended!). For Metzger I prefer Mr. Wolna's design. His dude not only looked totally evil and sadistic as Metzger should, but the face has a certain life to it that seems absent in this new one.
 
No offense taken!

Ban him! Immediately!

:ugly:

Seriously, it was kinda WIPie, I checked results of my a day before yesterday work with lights and some colors over the face and I thought I'll post it here :hide:

What about this one?

Good? Shitty? Great improvement? Shitty improvement? etc.?
 
Well its still the same face - just that it has been squashed from the top. IMHO I can't see this whip outdoing Wolna's Metzger, unless it is changed a lot. So why invest loads of time when there'se already a superior product on the market ;). And don't get me wrong I think you are an oustanding graphics artist! What you did with the sub for example, have never seen better!
