[2prong] next question.
[2prong]
[Umu] What's the
[2prong] difference between the
[2prong] .WAL textures used in
[2prong] Daikatana compared to
[2prong] Quake 2? I tried viewing
[2prong] them in Wally but for some
[2prong] reason *** Unreal has quit IRC (WinSock error 0 )
[Martini] due you have this one muaddib?
[muaddib] I'm not sure I know the specifics of Q2 wal files. Our "wal" files as they pertain to skins are 256 color BMP's Each monster has it's own pallette *** Nazgul has quit IRC (WinSock error 0 ) *** Malekyth has quit IRC (WinSock error 0 )
[muaddib] Any more info on that WAL question?
[muaddib] "skins" or level textures...
[Martini] Our wal. files have there own palettes Each level has its own color palette
[2prong]
[Celt] Gollywog wanted to
[2prong] ask wether you will you be
[2prong] releasing a model importing
[2prong] tool or something. *** sinDizzy has joined #ION
[Martini] Muaddib its all you..
[muaddib] The tools we use to create models with are as follows. Lightwave 5.5 or higher, and UView for the texture mapping data. We then convert it into a DK dkm file with our own complie tool. I'm not sure if we will be releasing dkdata (the compiling tool) or not. As for lightwave and UView..they are both comerical products that can be purchased. *** HOMEY_J has joined #ION *** RonJeremy has joined #ION *** 2prong changes topic to 'Welcome to the Daikatana Art Chat.

[muaddib] this blows..can people........like elaborate on their original question? *** RonJeremy has quit IRC (WinSock error 0 )
[2prong] ok..here's a good one..
[2prong]
[Umu] Will texture creation be
[2prong] relatively easy for artists, by this I mean
[2prong] can
[2prong]
[Umu] they more or less make them
[2prong] like you would a Quake 2 texture, or will
[2prong] needed to convert them to your WAL
[2prong] format, adding an extra step to the
[2prong] process (similar to how Heretic II used
[2prong] .M8 files that needed to be converted
[2prong] from WAL format using qdata)?
[2prong]
[Umu] there be some sort of utility
[muaddib] If we release dkdata all you will need are the creation tools, and yes..you will have to convert to wal files. *** jcal has joined #ION *** 2prong changes topic to 'Welcome to the Daikatana Art Chat. Please send all questions to 2prong'
[2prong]
[Celt] i'd like to ask what
[2prong] advice they could give a
[2prong] student wanting to go into 3d
[2prong] computer animation and
[2prong] games
[muaddib] Get your own computer ASAP and bust ass. Look at good stuff and try to be better. And here is an animation tip I heard somewhere. Always look at your animations backwards.....timing errors and movment messups are easier to see.
[ION_Sacc] I firmly believe in a STRONG traditional art background..strongly. Many 3 D programs are tools that can be learned. To be truly BAD ASS you should first be able to DRAW some impressive goods
[ION_Sacc] Reference Reference Reference... Pay attention to how things move and how weight effects things
[muaddib] Liek Sacc said.....Traditional art is a must if you want to do everything..and be good at it. And IMP Taste counts for a lot. If you have bad taste everythign you do will stink.
[ION_Sacc] Indeed
[muaddib] Sacc....take your own advice.......
[muaddib] heheheeh
[2prong]
[Celt] whats IMP?
[muaddib] IMO sorry..hehe *** PT has quit IRC (Leaving)

[2prong] thing but is there going to be the option to
[2prong] edit player skins *** Emerald has joined #ION
[ION_Sacc] Pern edited enough of mine *** bubba has quit IRC (WinSock error 0 )
[muaddib] Again.....if we release the compile tool then you should be able to. *** 2prong changes topic to 'Welcome to the Daikatana Art Chat. Please send all questions to 2prong.'
