I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Well, I'm really new to modding and everything, but I made a model of a saber, and it's good(to me at least), but the problem is i can't UVW map it...
so I was wondering if someone could do it for me, since i can't.

Here's the picture of the hilt:http://yfrog.com/14thehiltmodelp

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Should should be able to. It's Unwrap UVW in the modifier list.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Yes, i know, but there's alot of stuff to mess with, and it always turns out wrong when i do it...
if someone is willing to, tell me and i'll send you a link with the model.

You're better off to ask someone to show you how, so you can do it yourself. That's what I did, at least.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

That's what I'd do. Find someone willing to walk you through the steps so you know for any future project you might have.

Well, any volunteers? :P
i made that model, and i enjoyed doing so, + it's the first thing i ever tried to make, soo, whoever wants to mentor me is welcome to :D

EDIT: I mapped it, but i still need someone to mentor me, feel free to pm me...

I got back to it now, and here's the progress, please do mind this IS my first thing from the scratch, and don't flame me for bad UVW...
Here goes:

o.o Im a mapper not a modeler but to me that looks aswome! Even more for a first time

Youtube is a good place to get tutorials for this sort of thing:

YouTube - 3ds max uvw unwrap tutorial

;)

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

yes, there are tutorials on youtube, but they don't explain it well, it aint much help, so, for now i'm using flatten map.

P.S. I just woke up, and I think the hilt'll be over soon.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

You need only the Unwrap UVW modifier. Use planar mapping for the large plate things and cylindrical mapping for the handle. Boom, you're done.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Stick a chrome shader over that and BAM! Done.

OK, you probably/really shouldn't use shaders to cover up stuff, but it's nice model regardless. Good work!

If you post a render of your UVW map, we can help you tweak it. :)

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

I skinned through most of it, and pressed a "wrong" button -.- and now i have to do it all over

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Ctrl Z?

-.- it didn't work, and sarcasm isn't very useful atm.

EDIT: I skinned it, all i need now is a md3 export tool, anyone got one?

EDIT 2: here's the endresult:

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Damn, is there any other way to do it?

EDIT: anyone willing to export it for me?

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Sorry, I was serious. I thought there might be an undo option.

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

I'm guessing you're able to export this now from your other thread. if not I might be able to export it for you (no promises though)

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

I'm able to export it, but now i have too much poly XD

Re: I need someone to UVW map/skin a hilt for me.
 

Then reduce it lol.
