Смердокрыл Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hey! I have wod models on my Cata server and I want npcs to also use them. For that, I need to convert those hd baked npc textures to the usual format (with half of the face). How can I do that?P.S. Unfortunately, there's no "texturing" forum here, so I'm posting this in modelling. or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroth Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am not entirely sure why would you do such thing. At least if I understand correctly what you want to do. You have preWoD models and want to apply baked textures from WoD on them? Why not creating a new ones by using preWoD textures and the same items as are those on WoD textures? It would be probably quicker, cleaner and better-looking. English YT tutorial channel.

Смердокрыл Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 No, no. Currently, on my Cata server, players use the WoD models, and npcs use preWoD models. I want npcs to also use WoD models, but for that I need WoD baked npc textures. They are different from usual baked npc textures, because they are twice as wide (half of the texture used by face), and for some reason, when I assigned WoD models for npcs and added the hd baked textures from a WoD client, they are applied as old textures: or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koward Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I believe the OP is looking for a fast way to produce WoD NPC baked textures at WotLK format.I think I saw a Photoshop script or something a while ago on Modcraft, but I'm not sure.

And, if there is any difference between Cata and WotLK format, then I need for Cata. or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Anyway, you need to create a new textures by using IDs of faces, haircuts and item display IDs (cleaner looking way), or you need to remake all textures - by applying WoD face textures on preWoD baked textures, so you basically just retexture/reskin face part of model. The result won't be clean at all, but it will do.About automatic ways of doing so, I also saw some Photoshop script somewhere on Modcraft and sadly I also don't know where now. Well, at least you know a little bit more what to do or what to look for. I'm afraid I can't help you any further. English YT tutorial channel.

Смердокрыл Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 How exactly does the game decise how to wrap the texture around the model? Maybe I could change that? or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Its called UV mapping and its part of model structure itself (so its included in M2/OBJ file). You would need to edit a model in 3D software. And it would be quite tedious task to do. English YT tutorial channel.

Смердокрыл Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Can't it be done in 010 editor?Also, since they are using wod models, shouldnt they map the texture as wod models? or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well, it can be done in 010, possibly. Everything can be done in 010 editor. The question is: would that be easier? Its like painting with Pencil tool in Paint. Yes, you can go around a picture and paint every pixel manually by hand with Pencil, by selecting various colors to create some piece of art. Or, well... you can also use Photosho/Gimp and their brushes. English YT tutorial channel.

Maybe not easier, but more useful, because 1)there are 18 models to be changed, against around 20000 textures to be changed 2)after you've changed the model, you can apply any baked npc texture blizz release without having to change the texture. or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroth Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Every vertex on model has to have coordinates in UV map assigned, to determine what part of texture should be applied on it (and on faces around it). Face of character model (especially WoD one) will have probably a few hundred of vertexes. Are you still sure that "just 18 models" are that much "fine" :D? Using 101 for that is utterly bad idea - editing it in 3D software would be much, much quicker and you would be able to see results immediately. You just need to learn how to edit character model in 3D software and make it work in client afterwards again.Creating new textures to fit WoD models is something everyone was doing until now and I doubt people were doing so only because they were bored or something like that. It was more acceptable way of solving a problem.When you take a look at preWoD textures and compare them with WoD textures, applying preWoD textures on WoD model with UV map changed so it would fit preWoD texture would be also quite bad idea in my opinion - it would look terrible. Especially eyes. I don't think it would be worth effort. I have also seen some release of preWoD baked textures changed so they had WoD face textures - made by some kind of script. Where? Idk. But still - remaking old texture (or making a new one by using the same equipment) is a way I would choose without hesitation. English YT tutorial channel.

Koward Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Last time I tried, people still had to do UV Mapping anyway to make the UV fit with the WotLK texture format.. Has this changed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarn Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Last time I tried, people still had to do UV Mapping anyway to make the UV fit with the WotLK texture format.. Has this changed ?I guess no. WotLK still uses the same UV layout for all non-hardcoded textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
