Milkshape video tutorial series

by Brad Kelley · 09/21/2006 (5:45 am) · 5 comments

Thanks to some of the great people I have met here like REX, I have begun putting together a tuitorial series for Mikshape. The fist one of the series entitled Model Rigging is up and ready. My next video tutorial should be out in a few days. It will deal with vertex weighing and exporting animations from milkshape into Torque Game Engine. The next and more advanced tutorial will delve into exporting blends into TGE and setting up the script appropirately.

I couldn't have done this without the great people of this community. Its time I gave a little something back. Also I appreciate any constructive criticism.

I am flattered and honored, Ashley. I try hard to make sure the 'lowend' user has the best leveraging tools available.

You're adding to them with a video series!

While I still use the DTSPlus! exporter to finish my content; I now animate outside Ms3d. I licensed fragMOTION and it is a very robust package.

Texturing something round huh? I'm sure I can work that into my tutorial list. But in all honesty I usually use ultimate unwrap for the uv stuff. I am pretty sure by defalt if you make a round object in milkshape the texture mapper window lays the mesh out flat. Think of a flat world map laid out on a flat sphere mesh.

Anyway, I will do something along this line. If I keep it in the milkshape house i think we can quarter the object, map it and then weld it all back together. NO charge.
