Demarest Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 If you'd like a tutorial on a particular subject, post it here Thanks to Dup for this idea and all his help in making the subforum a reality.

Augh Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) Thanks Dup, Demarest, everyone First request! I'd love to get ahold of a GTA3/GTA:VC specific uniting + detaching/'surfaces' tute, to help with smoothing and reflections etc. I'm sure I'll think of many more Cheers, and looking forwards to helping get this all underway. EDIT (already) : Would it be possible to create a sort of equivalent to the Showroom picture post and commentary thread? So we can fully check that tutorials are clear, concise and easy to follow before submitting them properly for the forum's use. It might help things run smoothly Edited June 28, 2004 by Augh Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/137899-tutorial-requests/?do=findComment&comment=1757326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRloading Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 i highly suggest a tutorial on "normals" and on "alpha" textures... particularly in zmodeler, since most beginners like me start out in zmod and have little clue on matters such as normals and alphas...

Dup Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions. When i have a free afternoon (probs wed) i will knock some up. I also have a revision for the collision tutorial to be written too. I forgot collision faces, which enable shooting though the windscreen etc. So stay tuned!

Thunda Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I may be writing a small tutorial about how to change where parked cars are ingame. Yet, i am still pretty new at modelling and I would like to know if anyone here woud be interested in making a texturing tutorial for regular objects like buildings... Like how do you make textures in Paintshop for 3ds max. I would also like to see a tutorial on modelling cars if anyone is interested. -Cheers...long live GTAF 2.0 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/137899-tutorial-requests/?do=findComment&comment=1757885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of delete key Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well, this gives me a reason to filter through all my stuff and organize it into tuts. Now instead of posting one gargantuan Opus Magnus on modding philosophy, this would be the perfect place for depositing bite-sized chunks of tedium. I guess a tut forum is a Good Thing, but I would have figured the whole rest of the forums are alredy saturated with what will go here. I only wonder how long it will be before someone posts "how do I move the dummies?" right next to the six other posts answering that same Q. This baby's butt has only just been smacked, and already I see O/T Quite possibly the Mods may want to consider somewhat modified posting rules here, like limiting thread replies to specific corrections, omissions, and errata concerning the thread topic; and not requests, O/T questions/comments, or other banter. Unless of course this has been considered and rejected, in which case, show me the door Anyway, let's do our best to keep this new subforum fresh and orderly, and make a sweet tech library.

Andrew Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Cool ideas guys, if I've got the time I'll write one or two... I would like to add that if there is a tut on converting nsf4 cars to vice. Then it won't be posted here. Why? Think about it, post the tut here... n00bs come in, find it and convert loads or user models and rip the cars claiming to be theirs. We don't want that... Keep the good ideas coming guys... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/137899-tutorial-requests/?do=findComment&comment=1759806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augh Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 While I decide what to write, I'm sorta noting down when I notice that there's a method or process I'm not familiar with, and to find out about it/note others may also not know what's what. Meantime I thought of something else, simple but more specific than it sounds maybe. We need a tute for people who are competant in basic Zmod controls, but not great at modelling, to cleanly model correct, perfectly centered wheels from scratch. Possibly this is more of a checklist of things to remember while doing it (snapping, axis etc). I know once again it sounds very very obvious and basic, but just take a look at some of the mishmashed wheels out there o_O I think there's a few elements like that which newcomers could really use tutorials on. But Killa makes a good point... Example; I was thinking that I could easily collate tips that helped me modelling my spoilers from square objects, but Lego encouragement = not so hot. Anyway, I shouldn't drone on in here, suggestion sumitted Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/137899-tutorial-requests/?do=findComment&comment=1760049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMillard Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=114724 This is ashdexx's sensationally complete thread dealing with the rudiments of setting up GTA cars. It's the tutorial everyone needs after they've learnt how to make shapes and need to turn thier shape into the parts of a GTA car. Indispensable, so it should be here imho. (EDIT) I might add some more links to threads into this post as I might have a rummage around for good tutorials at some point.

Andrew Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 So there you have it... Someone wants a conversion tutorial so he can release the cars... Sorry man but no. If its written I'll not let it be posted here. So that people can rip others cars... As much as ones intentions are to use it for good, people will use it the wrong way and then cars will start to be ripped man. Sorry I can't have that happening.

He said he would ask permission from the authors and only take credit for what he actually did, not ripping the car as his own. The purpose of this area is to provide tutorials and tips on all aspects of computing applicable to this community. It is not here to push your personal greviances, valiant though they may be. (EDIT) You aren't even listed as an area leader here, so you couldn't stop if from happening even if there was any reason to. Cerbera kicks GK in the shins.

Andrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Ok, would you be using your own custom objects? If not then I'll write a completly new tutorial, on using in game objects and creating an island. Should be done over this weekend. And maybe even tonight if I'm lucky. I'm away for the weekend from friday till saturday. @92f, I'm not sure about zmodeler rendering... I've heard some ways to do it, but I don't know them. @Whooman, true thats the respectable and trustworthy communitys duty to teach those who aren't. Maybe a huge red text at the top and bottom of the tutorial would grab their attention? List Of New Tuts I'm Making/ Updates to Mine Moo Mapper Tutorial getting a new layout and updated slightly New Moo Mapper Tutorial on adding your own island.
