Hi, i am working on a model pack for FPSCv2.0 and i would like someone to UV map them for me for free(about 50 models). This will be a commercial model pack for FPSC2.0 that will include lots of new scenery. I have tried to do this myself, but i cannot. They are mid-poly models.

thanks

I would do it but my prices are high. I would require, at the very least, two gumdrops per model and a bag of skittles at the end...

I'm assuming that means you're selling it? You expect people to work for free so you can take all the money?

ok, if u do it, u get credit for it, you can also add it to your port-folio or whatever. by commercial, i mean it is commercial use. it will be an addon to FPSC2.0. some will be posted free. or if anyone knows about any detailed tutorials for blender (with a complex model as the example) it would be much appreaciated.

if someone uv maps them for me, they will be free for everyone. if i find out how to and i uv map them, they will be for cheap sale on tgc store. (if some1 gives me tutorials that i work out, they can have the models when they r done)

thanks

UV mapping is a complex job, and can easily take as much time to learn as modelling itself. Ideally, I'd say you should get Ultimate Unwrap and UV all 50 models, then go back and start over - using the initial UV jobs as practice so by the time you've done them all you'll know what works and get a good work flow going.

I use Ultimate Unwrap but you should be able to find the old Lithunwrap for free - very good UV mapping software. Ultimate Unwrap shows you what you are UV mapping on the 3D model and UV map, it solves so many issues that can confuse the hell out of people when learning. I strongly suggest buying it if learning this stuff quickly is a concern.

This of course assumes that you can draw textures already, or at least have good skills in an art package. If not you should try to learn this as well.

i have modelled one model and textured it. but in fpsc i sometimes see the inside of the model there the edges are. why is this? i will provide a sreeen if it is necessary. but ill say that the model is just below 500poly. it is a gas canister with a rust texture i made that is in dds format. the model was exported to .x then imported into fragmotion for the texture.

thanks

Sounds like inverted normals GamerDude. You should have an invert normals tool, or you could inversely scale it (invert normals though, less hassle). The normals tell the polygon which direction the face is pointing, it's best to imagine normals as little spikes protruding from every vertex. A head for instance would look like Pinhead from Hellraiser when showing it's normals - but the problem with your gas canister is that the normals are pointing inwards, so inverting them will fix them right up.

You could also avoid this by disabling culling so that both sides of each polygon are drawn, but this slows things down, and also inverted normals affect lighting, I say check Fragmotion for an invert normals command.

Try this:
UV Mapping Tutorials

I'm not looking to join any amateur teams, nor do I take requests.

well, acer still has it. i called them yesterday and they said "we still cant figure out what's wrong with it yet." So, acer cant even repair their own laptops. hopefully they will give up and send me a new one. thanks for the tutorials but i wont be able to use them for a while. they say 3-4 more weeks. 3-4 weeks, its already been 3 weeks, they do the repairs locally so 6-7 weeks to repair a laptop is amazing!

thanks

Are you selling this pack yourself or VIA the FPSC website mate how do you know what models will work in FPSC V2 seeing as none of us Lee included know what exactly is being added or done to the engine.

But no one will UV map for free it takes to long i can UV map very well but im not willing to do this for free i wouldn't do that many models for free ever not even for a mate i would at least want 10% profits made for my work and that a min

i will learn my self. please dont lock this thread, i will post my progress when acer gets off their ***es and finishes fixing my laptop. thanks for warning me about the posible engine differences, but as far as i know fpscc2 is going to be a plugin for the original fpscv1, not a whole new stand-alone program.

thanks

As far as I know you are wrong
Since FPSCV2 will be a hybrid between FPSCx9 and FPSCX10 I dont think they will be able to make it as a plugin for V1.

And are you sure this will be a commercial pack?

For once, i would like something for all my work. I am planning this as being a commercial pack.

[b]News: Acer read my post and decided to fix my laptop ^^ it is awiting to be picked up. Ill put GTAIV, Saints Row 2, Stalker-SHOC and Crysis on it and see if there is any difference. Im happy now because im sick of playing on this pc (especially in GTASA where it gets 20-30fps).

thanks

PS: Ill try the tutorials within the week.
