An oldie but a goodie
The old FPSC bond1 fantasy weapon, I used to grab everything I could by bond1 as he often wrote incredible shaders I could play around with. For anyone who owns this and wants to get it into GG put the alpha mask in the _N.
You can see the shader 'glow' on the orb and how the 'claw' lovingly caresses it.

Sweet, Great find. Glad to see this working again.

Great work as usual ... looks amazing

It isn't a shader I got much chance to look at back in the day, I suspect it may have a lot of uses for sci-fi and fantasy entities. Wolf would likely get a lot out of it with his steampunk neon signs for example.....mask dictates which parts have animated pulse glow and it also adds sky colour with a fixed point light.

Nice! Great stuff!

That looks realy cool Rolfy, I didn't know that sort of thing could even be done.

Weapon and shader created by bond1 (Mark Blosser), I just got it into GameGuru, it surprises me too just how many shader effects can be accomplished using X9

Any chance you can send me the files for the Mr Claw Septre, and your permission to add your changed version into the next build. It's awesome!

@ Lee. I will send it over to you

I think this may have been a store item though and not part of any open sourced model packs, so you might want to clear it with Mark first.

Dat environment though!

Yeah it looks really cool with both scenery and staff. I just don't have the patience for modelling. I can model basic things, but I'm always in a rush to get it DONE and into GG to continue making whatever I am working on! I spend an awful lot of time with any models I put on the store, but for my own projects I tend to be fairly lazy in that regard. I always think my time is best spent getting things working than making media for it. That is unless I want to put anything on the store, in which case I probably spend way too much time tweaking them!

Texturing is my issue generally, I'm sure I could make things easier in that regard. I always make the object then unwrap it and sort the texture out. When I look at say, the default buildings in GG, I see they have a standard texture and the model is set to use that, rather than a unique one every time. I basically have to hand draw the textures to fit my models UV map! It works, but is very, very time consuming.

High Five!! Me too.



Don't! Join us on the lazy side and make your texture before you unwrap anything. While you'll get parts of models that you need to unwrap first, it are usually only a few.

Next time I use Blender I'll give it a go. I don't hold up high hopes though!

Nice one rolfy!

The more I add details to a model more I think about the texture process comes next.
The process of adding texture to a model is for me the most tedious part, but has its magic, the texture gives life to the model, you can even convert a simple box into something more appealing. I honestly hate and love texturing.
