LHammonds Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 For future reference, you can create an optimized chain link, then create a UV for it and then use a technique to duplicate the link along a path. You can create a path that follows a standard necklace and then duplicate the link around that path...then run the bone-weight-copy script to nab the rigging off the original necklace and apply it to your necklace. Blender Tutorial: DupliFrames Also, decimation works ok sometimes depending on the original model but when it doesn't, simply size the original object to the size you want and create a new low-poly object that closely matches the original. This is usually the preferred method when going to a very small object and simply create your own model and have it pull optimized textures from a new texture file (which would be vastly smaller than the original hammer weapon.

kieranfoy Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 None that I can recall. Did I mention you da man any time recently? And I could have sworn the amulet was half-done, and the hammer already finished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yep, the hammer is done; the model for the necklace is complete. I just need to work on the bones and texturing on the necklace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub3rman123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Status: Warhammer (Full size) is done, still haven't gotten around to weighting and texturing the necklace. I'm in band camp right now, so I'll just try to do one thing each morning. Dang, I just reread my earlier post.. That's the same one! No worries, I'll get this done eventually. Even if I have to drop the necklace completely, the hammer looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranfoy Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Can't wait, man! But, please, don't drop the pendant. It'll be new and exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I won't, I'll have a full week of free time between band camp and school to work on all the various things. I'm going to be spending that week probably finishing up all this stuff I've taken on so I can finally get around to wiping my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
