New Body Models v4

[Teknoman]

You mean that the outside part of the leg (or shin) looks too rounded right? thats because of the angle of the camera and because the texture mapping "suggest" that the shin is more rounded but it doesnt look like that with the corrected model... i'll post another screenshot when i finnish the muscular body type.

[Teknoman]

Its time for another screenshot.... (im feeing like the Pro Wrestling X guys), here is the muscular body with corrected texture mapping and yes this means i found more bugs.



Next on the list is the fat body type and... womens body.

The mapping of the inner thigh (is that the word?) was odd, the right boot had an untextured area, also the front of the shin was a little bit twisted. And finally the part of the knee (3D model) didnt look good when bending (it looked too squared).

[Mr.X]

but yeah still lookin awesome

[Teknoman]

Now all body types are complete, even the female body, it wasnt too difficult actually it looks better than i expected.

Also during the modeling i found another big mapping error, the back of the head had a texture missmatch so i had to fix all 7 model's heads one by one, hope i wont find more bugs during the final testing.

This is the first mod that im testing that much... i never payed so much attention to any other mod so i hope the NBMv4.0 will be the only realease for a long time. i do not want to release NBMv4.1 'cause i forgot to fix a minor bug... hopefully it wont happen.

oh! and yes i'll post more screenshots soon...

Guessing that Tekno increased the the original poly size of the models... No, in fact they might make your game run worse if your already having problems, But thats usually the expense of making things look better though. You have to increase the size of things loaded into the game, which in turn makes the game run slightly slower... But if you have a decent PC you usually won't notice any difference in speed.

New body Models v4 is finally complete!!!!... yes, thats true after several months of work and problems i finaly finished this long waited mod.

I'll release this mod by the end of the week... maybe saturday night or sunday afternoon (local time of course).

So 2d modders i think its almost time to shake the dust out of you and hopefully EMW will return better than ever.

BTW i was packing the mod when i saw even more bugs, mainly Z-collision stuff, but its fixed now. Hopefully it will pass the final user test with a good grade.

Wow Tekno, this is really good news. Congratulations on this. Will it be compatible with faces and feet made with the DTT. Feet on WM08 are the bane of all hi-res mods for the game.

[Teknoman]

Saddly no, the new models use a different mapping for everything... maybe you'll be able to use the arms template but thats it... NBMv3's torso, legs and haed texture dont look good on this new release.

I'd like to upload it now but since i have a very, very slow connection i need a lot of time to upload files and i only have 1 free hour and then i have to go to university (i'll back home at 11pm), tomorrow i have classes all day... from 8am to 8pm. It leaves my body and mind destroyed so sunday is the best choice.

that sux. i thought it might help because when i put in new body models on encore it seemed like the game ran better. WM 2008 is really choppy on my computer, and i have an up to date computer. does it run ok on your computer?
