Final Fantasy IX Model Converter Part 3

Hey!
I was trying to implement a 3D Preview window in my converter with the help of the Direct X 9.0c SDK, but looks like the SDK won't install on pre Windows XP systems and does not work with Visual Studio 6. So I got myself a copy of the DirectX 8.1 SDK and it seems to work. The last time I coded with DirectX was when DirectX 6 was the newest. I hope not so many stuff was changed (already read that DirectDraw isn't available anymore like in DX6&7)


The little program needs some comfort because it doesn't work correctly up until now T.T

Final Fantasy IX Model Converter Part 2

Here comes the PAIN!!!
The modelconverter reads poly and UV data perfectly now.
what still needs to be done is bone and animation support.
Here a Zidan for you:D
Still messed up because there are no bones loaded for him :D

Final Fantasy IX Model Converter [UPDATE]

I did some progress on my model stuff for FF9.
But it looks like some Polys (well .. all) are not loading correctly. See for yourselves.


The Vertices are loading correctly but the rest just don't. As you can see, some work is still needed. (Captured picture of Vivi provided by Chamoo232)

UPDATE:

For those who are still puzzling about how Chamoo232 made her Vivi papercraft. She played FF9 in ePSXe and took some screenshots. Then she just "remodeled" the Vivi using those screenshots as reference material.

Zone of the Enders: Jehuty Part II

Guess what?
I managed to finish Jehutys texturzz!
What does that mean for you? You'll soon be able to build a never be seen before papercraft.
I ordered a new printer today and I will testbuild this little beauty when my printer arrives.
Dezember will be a good month for PAPERCRAFT! :D

Zone of the Enders: Jehuty

Wow! A second blogupdate in that short time! UNBELIEVEABLE!
So, what is the meaning of this?!?!
Someone from the Interbutt asked me:"Hey papercraftdude, when will Jehuty be done?"
Well, I finished the 3D model today, but it still need textures, which I have to draw.

Hope he does not charge his LAZORRRR...

Macross M3 VF-14 "Vampire"

Good news for fans of Macross M3!
I finished the 3D model of the VF-14 "Vampire" and the craft is going into development soon.
It will be released together with the VF-17 and the fixed VF-9. And now some pictures to make your mouth wet. :D


As you can see the VF-14 will be available in the typical white sheme and as Max or Milia version. This thing wasn't easy to do. I had to draw my own 3-Point-View of this thing and there was not many visual information on the internet. Stay tuned :D

Old stuff in dusty spaces

Lol, I found this one in a dusty folder on my HDD :D

This is Lo Wang from the infamous ego-shooter Shadow Warrior. As you can see, the model is QUALITY work and was created in my early days of 3D modelling. Funny shit :D
