[SHOWOFF] Custom M2 : Road

[Mjollna]

Hi there !

So I made my first custom model, as some of you may have seen on the chatbox. It's complete now, it has custom collisions, so I thought I would share it. It has no animations, but for a road it's pretty normal <!-- s:) --><!-- s:) -->

It really fits my own zone, so I don't know if it will be useful to someone else, but in case, it's available <!-- s:) --><!-- s:) -->

I used Blizz unmodified textures, so they should be already in 3.3.5 files. However, to avoid any problems I've included them in the zip file with the right relative path from the model.
There's also the mdx if some of you want to play with it and change the model.



The edges are a little different than what's on the video, I had a corrupted vertice in each angle (copy/paste) and I had to redo them tonight.

Normally the model should work fine in 3.3.5, at least on my install it's all ok. If you have problems with it let me know.

Happy downloading !

Nice to see that the custom m2 convertion reaches more and more users

Very intresting topic. Maybe ill look into that thing one day too

Very nice I want to create some models like you, but i think it's very hard
So, good job :p

[Mjollna]

Thank you ^_^

Actually it's simpler than I thought, at least for non-animated things.
I'm making a tutorial describing the method I used, I check every step and I post it.

very cool, it's nice that someone is also doing own doodads in MDLvis:)
one question: how did you do a collision?
1) via CollisionAdder.exe
2) transferred from other models Blizz
3) Made as something else ...

Very awesome... I might have to give this a try, seeing such nice results.

Yeah, get the tracks and the train ingame and fill it with life.

@Pinkhair3d : Thank you for the compliment. And I really love your artwork/videos btw <!-- s:) --><!-- s:) -->

I made a second model <!-- s:) --><!-- s:) -->
I needed a path to link a house and a "darkshoredock.m2", so I added some kind of wooden bridge in between. I'm not too happy about the number of vertice (probably too many), but it looks ok ingame... and it made UV mapping so much easier.

I used the same method I described in the tutorial to make it. The texture is a Blizzard one, the same as the dock.



And the download link if you want to use/tweak it (M2, texture and mdx) :

not bad, especially considering how "long" you're working with MDLvis
