TRON.dll and myself are going to try to port stuff from Tron 2.0 and possibly Tron Evolution to the insanely popular Half-Life 2 mod, "Garry's Mod". I tried doing this last year but the 3D capturing program sucked and the Source engine's requirements took forever to port stuff to GMod.

I tried doing it again today and I got good results using 3Dvia's capturing program and Blender. I ripped Jet (high res model) and Ma3a.

Here's Ma3a:

However, Ma3a poses a problem for porting. In order to make stuff glow in Source, the texture must have alpha channels to mask the glowing areas. Ma3a has this, but these areas are also used to remove the other parts of Ma3a's "ring" to make it look more futuristic, etc. As far as I know, Source can't allow glow and masking at the same time, so I may offer Ma3a in two flavors: one without glow, but with nicer "ring details" or one with glow and without ring details.

If I can streamline the process of converting Blender models to the insanity that is "making a model for the Source engine", we'll be making ragdolls and props in no time.

No, that's not what I'm talking about:

Here's Ma3a ingame:


See how you can see the inside of the ring? That's the reverse duplicate. I flipped the normals/polygons, if that makes any sense. If that reversed duplicate wasn't there, you wouldn't see the inside of the ring, because normally videogame models are not double sided.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Map making in Source is a big pain in the butt, so I doubt it, even though it would be awesome to have Tron 2.0 maps in source.

I'll ask some friends if it's possible to convert the map models into Source BSP files.

That's funny. I have dreams of doing projects in Maya too. Only difference is they're normally not nightmares, LOL. X]abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

word to the wi: if u take a 3D modeling class in college, make sure u aren't taking like 4 other classes otherwise you may not have enough time to finish the projects in the class (like me -_- ) yuup. i'll be taking that class over.....where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

@Tron.dll_ I remember the first 3D software I ever used was the Anim8or. It was pretty simple and easy to use as a complete novice.

Then I tried out Maya, 3DSmax, and blender (and three others) for a month and ended up switching to blender for three years. I wasn't fantastic, but you learn a lot with free software available to you. I eventually switched software again after high school and I'm now going to attempt figuring out Mudbox (which will be hard).

The lesson I learned is that there's a good chance people have to use more than one program.


@CaptainCR_ It's true that you don't want to overstock on too many of the same type of classes.

Another thing to keep in mind is that some animation classes won't necessarily want you to focus on making something that is completely "finished," but focus on getting the meat of the animation done.

E.G. Didn't focus on making textures and perfect lighting, but rigged your characters and took the time to continually work on animating them.

And now stuff for people because we're cool:

LOL Swep (Beta)
Mercury Ragdoll (Beta)
Recognizer Models (Beta)
gm_gamegrid
TRON 2.0 Ma3a Model
TRON Lightcycle
TRON Tank
Jet Bradley ragdoll (beta)

Mostly reuploads except for Ma3a. Before these were available through links to Mediafire downloads that were scattered throughout this thread.

If you guys have requests for models from 2.0, post them in this thread. I'm not guaranteeing we'll be able to get all your requests but having some out there would be nice.

Currently, Mr. Sinistar is working on an improved Jet. I might try ripping some models myself later today.

Making good progress on TRON:


Right arm is done. Might do some tweaking and polish later. abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion
