can i apply shader to player models?


(ikanatto) #1

hi there again
i have modeled some characters and exported them to mdm and mdx. you can download them at http://mak.s13.xrea.com/ET/players.html.

whoa, looks weird! :slight_smile:

BTW, i want to use shader to player models because they are anime characters but they dont seem toon. shortly, i want to use such as toon shader on them.
so how can i apply shaders to player models? and what scripts do i need to make models look like toons?

While not directly applicable to ET, Conor O’Kane figured out a (somewhat expensive, as far as rendering) way to get a cel-shaded effect in Q3 a few years back.

There’s some information about the technique on his website, and an additional (Q3) model using the effect here.

You should be able to apply shaders to player models by simply creating shader scripts with the appropriate texture names. Hopefully. I’ve done no modeling for Q3 at all, and even less for ET!

Good luck.

That is how you do it. Just leave the extension (.jpg or .tga) off the end of the name.

So if your skin is models/characters/bugsbunny/bugs.tga the shader name would be models/characters/bugsbunny/bugs

IIRC, this works because the game looks for shaders before it looks for graphics files.

oh thanks men! :clap: ill try them.

BTW on a more serious note they look good, i just wouldnt like to see this in ET, good job tho, there is potential :wink:

to =DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR
no worries, these are just my hobby :slight_smile: no mods will not include them and you will never see them in ET.

:slight_smile:

few, but try making some realistic moddels and you can if you want, help out with the paintball mod, i dont like them but the quality is good :smiley:

Why not make a TC? That’d be fun to play with anime characters, it’d be even better if they have anime guns & sounds!

Did I miss the model exporting tools being released at some point? :o


(SCDS_reyalP) #11

Again, very nice ikanatto. Unlike =DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR , I say let anyone who wants to use them :smiley: A TC would be better, of course.

One comment is that they are quite a bit smaller than the standard models, which will make hit detection a bit weird. ET just uses a simple bounding box for hit detection, and another one for the head, so to get a headshot on one of those, you would need to shoot into the air far above their head. (except possibly on non-dedicated servers, which do actually use the model tag_head to find the head)

Did I miss the model exporting tools being released at some point? :o

No. ikanatto made his own tool. It is available on his site.

burn targetboxes burn

got a realistic(?) one:



eek, cheap texture :frowning: need more time on it

I must admit it is very odd to see an anime bunny girl holding an MP40 or tossing a nade…

The realistic one looks good. It reminds me a bit of those Q3 Visor guys… heh. Maybe you should add more detail to the pants and tone it down a bit. I’ve never seen a hood like that with the ears protruding either…

An anime TC mod would be awesome. Of course, anime isn’t just kawaii little girls in bunny costumes… I’m thinking something more serious…


(ikanatto) #15

your suggestions are totallyl right. it looks too poor all around gah.
total conversion… ummm sounds sweet. unfortunately i can not code c well(of course poor modeling skill as well :eek: ) and have no idea how ET would be modified with my models.
i am just a hobby modeller and keeping to model low-polygon objects. yeah, modeling is fun :slight_smile: what i make is what i want to make or what i was asked of modeling.however i am glad to see my models in ET, so if anyone wants to use my poor models for your purpose, please feel free to use it without asking me.


(Domipheus) #16

what the hell? why should these never be put in et =DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR?


(=DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR) #17

whatever tfate said

BTW those realistic ones look awsome, cheap textures but with that much greatness it dosnt matter
