Yes it is..and before you make fun of it, D20 is one of the main reasons we have video games, especially RPGS...name one game that doesn't use at least a 5D20 roll?

Also I'm a huge D20 geek.

um... well anything i play doesn't. two human is the first one that comes to mind. also diablo (1 and 2)

and dungeons and dragons i won't lie ive played it. i sold it fairly quickly after playing it.... but ive played it. dice rolling and the fact of the chance that you don't do damage after watching your sword or what ever go through the other person or player drove me insane way to quickly.

....they don't... they have their base damage... (there is a way to view the amount of damage done each hit) it changes a little but that's more the chance of a critical. (i may be wrong about diablo don't really know about that one)

In Diablo your hit% is an example. What happens in code is it first randomly generates a number from 0-100. Then if that number is below your hit% number it's a hit, if it's above, then you miss. That is a 5D20 roll. Then each weapon has a range of damage, say it has 1-10 damage. That means the program does another 5D20 roll, then multiplies it by the range(10) and the roll/100. Then it most likely rounds the outcome to the nearest whole number. That's the damage it inflicts on the enemy. This occurs every swing, cast, and enemy swing, cast.

How do you think the levels are created? Random generation! Including loot, enemies, item placements, shrines, chests, even quests! Diablo is a prime example of D20 in games.

The game is based around stats. Each stat effects a certain element of your character, that's D20 logic right there.

As for two human, never played or heard of it, so I couldn't tell yah.

yea two human has a solid amount of damage and then a armor rating the base damage is subtracted by the armor amount of the enemy and then that's the amount of damage...(WAAYY LESS confusing...) then there's also the critical hit chance(don't know what that's determined by) the base dmage is based around your skill levels and your weapon.

critical hit chance or anything chance based is calculated by generating random numbers, the same as rolling dice to get a number randomly.

5D20 refers to picking a number randomly between 5 and 100

say a character has a 7% chance to score a critical hit, you get a random number from 1 to 100 and if it is >92 it is critical.

Josh is correct, virtually all RPGs and any game which has a random chance for something to happen use at least a variant of this basic mechanic.

@Josh, the texturing on that mace is great, it looks like it's wet though. The material glistens more than metal, particularly scarred and pitted metal should. Can you keep the depth but make it more matte?

...umm that's something made way before dungeons and dragons... (in any game really) so its not something you can say dungeons and dragons started. (and i think you don't understand what people that don't like dungeons and dragons don't like about it) its the fact that not only is it based on dice rolls the dice rolls determine the damage almost entirely. (there a huge difference between a dice roll and random numbers)

and also ortu your wrong. it would be between 1 and 7 would be a hit(or 93-100) 92 couldn't have been it either way.

(dungeons and dragons isn't like because of the dice rolls in general)

That's why he said >92, as in, greater than 92.

Alright off topic aside...I'm still working on the goblin model, but I won't be able to finish it tonight. So I made a quick model in place of Day 8(which will really be my day 9 model..and the gob my day 8 model)

Day 8(9) / Model 8: Chest
-Production Time: 2hrs
-1 Mesh
-1 Texture Map
-1 Normal Map
Screenshot:

Download:


http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnzlizntrem/chest_final.rar

Ortu: I added a 'metal' shader to the whole model and kinda raised all the variables to bring out the detail. This can all be adjusted in your own engine. I just provide the color and normals, so what you do with it afterwords it is up to you. Give me a sec, and I'll post a screen of the model without the 'wetness'.

lol! I'm using a matte shader, so it's as dull as can be. Like I said, I provide the color map and the normal map, so you can add whatever shaders you want to it in game.

I think later down the road I'll start to make some varied textures of all the models. Maybe even improve on their UV data.

Still working on the goblin...getting closer to completion.

Still working on the Goblin model, I decided to go ahead and add bones and a few animations. Unfortunately I work tonight, so I ran out of time to work on it. I did a quick model with three variations, should be useful to some peps.

Day 9 / Model 9: Strategy Tile
-Production Time: 1hr
-3 Meshes
-3 Texture Maps
-3 Normal Maps

WOW, you've inspired me dude! Although i have never really got into 3d modeling hehe here's my attempt.



I wonder if AC3D supports normal mapping >.>, if it does i'm sooooo going to learn haha,

Great work josh!

Dragon Knight:
I'm glad I inspired someone Most modeling packages support bump mapping, which is a 2d greyscale version of a normal map. Normal map is a step up. As for creating the normal map, that can be done several ways. I'll eventually writeup a tutorial on it, but for now I'd suggest googling it.

Azunaki:
Just got home from work..blah...I'll try to work on it some tonight, but because of time constraints I'll have to create a new model for today's. I have some time off coming up in a day, so I'll definitely will finish it then.

Use XNormal, it's free, and has a cool PhotoNormal Tool, useful for quickly making a Normal map from an image...

[EDIT] This is a little confusing. When reading this, keep in mind the difference between the terms 'normal' and 'normal map'.

Bump maps take grayscale information and translate it to make 'bumps' on a surface by visually extending parts of the surface parallel to the model's normals and perpendicular to the corresponding face on which the normals originate from.

Normal maps translate color data (red=x green=y blue=z) and modify the angles of normals in the direction dictated by the combination of colors in the map.

At least that's my definition of it
