i would say it's not ok to use procedurals, as they can't be used in game, and if you're limiting polycount, you should limit texturing to game levels too.

i don't make the rules, but i'd say you should be allowed to use

1 colour
1 normal
1 specular

each with a max of 512x512

just my 2p

I don't have a sig, live with it.

Personally from what procedurals sound like is just a quick way to what you can do in photoshop or paintshop or anything like that, so from the sounds of things it shouldn't really affect it, plus someone would be an idiot to raise their vote because of procedurals.

@Slaine, ends the 19th, so 3 days

(.3ds, .x, .obj, and so on) For the picture of it, don't make a complex scene, just render it on a plane or something simple as this contest isn't focused on the final render. Feel free to use normal maps and such and do fancy tricks with the textures, but don't use an internal fire effect for an engine, make a texture for it like it is done for real games.""


Lets not lose focus people.. According to Ooga Booga this comp is about what is possible with the final rending of the model in a real game scenario.

I would think at most just a nice space like background for your model display is all that is necessary. Let the model and texturing do the rest...

Here is mine from the editor maybe its easier to see and I was to lazy to render it. I know it has a terrible background I made it in 2 seconds with DBPro. I also forgot to include the model so I'll upload that.

I don't even know what a procedural is.
I included my model's .X file and a JPG texture as a download in my post above.

IF I did anything wrong, please let me know.
That way I can try to do it right before the deadline.

Thanks

Nor did I, from what I gather its just a multi layer shader in the 3D app, to me thats just like layers in photoshop, they use procedurals in the Joan of Arc tutorial hopefully that will help tell you what they are

Here's my fighter...

The date on the pictures show 11/17/2001 even though I made the model this morning.
This is because I have to backdate my system to get my FTP utility to work.
The copy I put on the Server shows the backdated date instead of the right one.



I don't have a texture for it yet, but I should by the deadline.
I forgot to check the polycount, so could someone tell me what it is?
I know its under 600 though, because thats all GameSpaceLight will let you save.

All my stuff is intended to be used for FPS Creator.
That's what I stuck the models in to take those shots.
I had to make an FPE file for the Entity's Properties and a BMP for a thumbnail, as well as the models .X file and JPG texture.

I'm just starting to learn DBPro, so I haven't done anything in that, YET.
The plan is to learn DBPro well enough to re-build the FPSC Engine.
I want melee action when the ammo runs out!
