Thanks phil13hebert, looking forward to the tutorial. I will link it on Maniapark and such once it is done.

While we are already talking about Lightmap and Basematerial I noticed that some standard materials have this format:

DMaterial(StadiumAirship)
DSurfaceId (Concrete)
DUvLayer (BaseMaterial , 0)
DUvLayer (Lightmap , 2)

What's up with the Lightmap layer there? Why is there a 2 instead of 1 and how do I get such an object converted? ConvertAssistent freezes when trying to convert it....

And yeah, real light would be HUGE

First Uv mapping named "BaseMaterial" will be used for the textures (how block will look in-game) while the second UV mapping named "Lightmap" will be used by maniaplanet to compute the lightmaps of the static object. The "Lightmap" UV must not have overlapping faces else lightmap in-game will be strange for this block

I've finished the part about UV mapping for static objects. I'll post the link soon

yeah I know THAT much...it's only that for this StadiumAirship material for example converting the objects doesn't work...and I guess this has to do with the fact that the Lightmap has to be on a different layer than usual !? Can't figure it out though...
normal:
DUvLayer (Lightmap , 1)
here:
DUvLayer (Lightmap , 2)

I don't know when I'll finish the tutorial, because I don't have time right now but I think that there's enough thing to help you out

Hi,

I'm creating a new 3D skin (ArenaPlayer) which uses its own skeleton, different than the default NadeoSkel.
So I tried the option /SkelGeneric with the importer (version 2013/08/21), but I can't get it work !

Even the ToadSample from Minion folder doesn't work. This is what I get :

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ManiaPlanet_SMStorm>NadeoImporter
Charskin Skins/Models/Minion/ToadSample /SkelGeneric
NadeoImporter 2013-08-21_16_12
Failed to import file "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Work\Skins\Models\Minion\ToadSample\Model.fbx": No Joints

I also tried the older version 2013/05/13, which actually seems to work :
ToadSample.jpg

But look the result with Sintel.. It has something strange.. :

Anyone can help me ?

Edit:
The /SkelGeneric option seems to imply the Player.Anim.xml to be used. Where can I get the specs for this file ?

Bonjour,

Je souhaiterais crÃ©er un nouveau skin 3D (ArenaPlayer) qui utilise son propre squelette, diffÃ©rent du NadeoSkel par dÃ©faut.
J'ai donc utilisÃ© l'option /SkelGeneric avec l'importer (version 2013/08/21), mais il n'y a pas moyen de le faire fonctionner !

MÃªme le ToadSample du dossier "Minion" ne passe pas. Voici ce que j'obtiens :

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ManiaPlanet_SMStorm>NadeoImporter
Charskin Skins/Models/Minion/ToadSample /SkelGeneric
NadeoImporter 2013-08-21_16_12
Failed to import file "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Work\Skins\Models\Minion\ToadSample\Model.fbx": No Joints

J'ai aussi tentÃ© d'utiliser l'ancienne version 2013/05/13, qui semble fonctionner:
ToadSample.jpg

Mais regardez le resultat sur Sintel... Il y a comme un petit souci... :
SintelSample.jpg

Quelqu'un pourrait m'aider ?

Edit:
L'option /SkelGeneric semble impliquer l'utilisation du fichier Player.Anim.xml. OÃ¹ pourrais-je trouver les specs pour ce fichier ?

This seems to be caused by the uv map that isn't correct. I couldn't tell you more since I'm not an expert on this subject
