No it doesn't. In Sapien you can use a radiosity airbrush to add lighting to the level.

try selecting all of the faces that make up the ground, not just the faces around the bases; then UVW Map it...should map correctly then.

And this could open up possibilities for an elevator in MP! Have the animation go up and down to the desired height, etc., and then have it stay at each level for a second or 2, before reversing direction and continuing on its circut/path. Not to burst your bubble, but at this point it wouldn't wor...

Not funny...

It sounds like you didn't change the material ID for the walls and ceiling...make sure you select the floor of the level and set that ID to 2 and the walls and ceiling should be 1

No, Choel has his own stuff going on...I haven't looked into animation at all so I can't wait for his tut!

I can't say too much...but we're close...verrry close

it didnt even count down... it just looks like that Double check the scenerio tag, make sure the sky is set up correctly on that. Try turning the speed of the camera up to 40 or 60 and move around a little bit, on the xy and z axis... What does your level look like by the way? Could you send a scre...

Kirk, much praise for the tutorials, they are very helpful. HOWEVER, I am having a problem. At the VERY end of step 6 in the 3dS Max tutorials, you have me exporting the file to my models directory I made. When i try to save my map as a jms file, I get an error message saying "Don't know how t...

Kirk, I was watching your video tutorials, and I don't understand why I'm lining the UVW map up to my polygons. It makes more sense that I woudl use the top down image to correct the rest of the map, not use the other parts to correct the map. If that's true, then I will have a very square map... I...

I'm not at my computer now, so I can't test this out...but it sounds like you have one of 2 problems... 1. You've applied a default material to an object somewhere without changing the name of said material 2. You have an object in the scene that is linked to the frame that has never had a material ...

guh! Thanks for you patience. I'm not really that stupid.

mm hmmm..riiitght

Now go out there and make some maps that aren't flat...gotta get some hills in there man!

I did a STL Check and there are no errors and I still get this error in tool building intermediate geometry... building collision geometry... reducing collision geometry... building collision bsp... ### ERROR couldn't build bsp because of overlapping surfaces (orange). ### ERROR couldn't build bsp2...

How many peaks/mountains do you have in the scene. If there are very few then radiosity wouldn't take long to calculate...If you ran radiosity_start and you got the zero's, and then you ran radiosity_save, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't show up other than it is a flat plane and your cam...

when I open files in sapien it begins to load and then goes away, I think/guessing it's some kind of tag error but I went through all the tagging steps again with kirk4 video tutorials and it still does the same thing, if anyone can help me please do Try taking either the splinter.scenerio tags tha...

After running radiosity_start, are you running radiosity_save?

its easier to just run an stl check in the modify tab, on the pull down list (same one with edit mesh in it) there is an option called stl check. You can check any open edges/vertices or any overlapping faces. its very useful STL check works fine, as long as you don't have any areas where you have ...

Good call. Anytime this has ever happened to me, it's been because of a tag error somewhere.

did you forget about it or something come on man help me out

tell me what the prob is

Oh crap, sorry man. I've been so busy with some other projects I completely forgot. I'll try to work on it tonight.

The portals tutorial is coming up. I'm just wrapping things up on a tutorial that covers fixing possible errors when exporting a map (open edges and bitmap errors). Here's a list of tutorials that will be coming out in the next couple of weeks: - Portals, ladders - Water: Rivers, Oceans, and lakes -...
