The web page is up. It's small and simple and I have not uploaded any vids yet, until I figure out WTF I'm doing exactally. Some screen shots and info mainly.

Hi slizzer...I just wanna tell you that I enjoy the progress on your outstanding rpg project and I really hope to see a finished game...when the time has come.

btw. Website is nice...but it will have to evolve at sometime...like your rpg does the camera-code download displays an error page.

No kidding about the camera code. I don't know why, the file is there. I def need more content. I'm working on some things right now. I get about 2 days a week to work on this game.

very, very nice. can you explain in more detail please how your system of different armor works? thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

ulf: I split up a biped model into different pieces like chest, arms, legs, etc. and then animate them together to make the player model. I use the different pieces to make different armor and clothing, this way I can just swap out the pieces.

loopix: Here is the code.
Code:

Last update for awhile. I totally have my plate full with everything new that I am getting into. Andvari did a new model, the male player model. Sweet...



Also, updated my site with some new stuff, but I also re-made the site so it is smaller and neater. Like I said, I haven't done HTML seriously since like 1995.

I am absolutely not creating a new thread for this! I recently got Photoshop and I have been trying forever to skin a model that I made. I used to use Paint Shop Pro. Please tell me anything that you see wrong with this model. There is a place on the grip where there is a slight seam, but I'll fix it soon enough. The hardest part I find is the colors of the metal.





It's just a regular, plain short sword. Later I am going to add some adornments like simple designs on the guard.

wow, that definately looks cool!
i would make the metal a bit darker. if you add reflections to it eventually, it should look quite good (i'd like a screenshot of that )

Really nice!I liked the male skin, it makes him look very realistic.And as for sword: it's blade is perfect but i think it should be a little longer and maybe the handle should be wider, but it is only my opinion
can't wait to see a demo!

Both the blade and the male look amazing !!
Great work slizzer

Cheers
