wiredwizardz Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 First try not to get ahead of yourself. That seems to be your main problem with what your doing and your not getting the results that you want right away. Try doing this first 1 Extract a weapon from either VC or SA DFF and TXD. 2 Open it in zmod ( since that is what your using ) and then export it as a 3DS file. 3. IMPORT it in Sketchup and play around with the model a bit. 4. After your done playing with it Re-export it as a 3DS once again. 5. Open it up in Zmod. 6. Follow the tutorial that I will link here to the letter. Your not going to get it on the first try so don't save it just re open it and try again. That is the only way your going to learn this stuff and I suggest a health dose of paitence Rome wasn't built in a day and no one ever modeled anything their first try don't get discouraged. Here a few link for texturing in Zmod. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=204095 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=215742 this one should help you the most since it is for texturing weapons. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=138100 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=200377 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=144073 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=137855 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=37184 Now I went through the trouble of finding those links for you plus explaining how to import and export your models. Take some time and read them don't just skim over them or your not going to get the full benifit of the tutorial. Don't rush into it either take your time your paitence will pay off I can promise you that. It isn't going to happen in one night. If there is anything else let me know ok.

wiredwizardz Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Try not to run into any problems please I have enough trouble learning this stuff myself but that is due to a lack of time. I also have a family life and sitting at this computer isn't the only thing that I want to do with my free time. Like I said this isn't an easy process I just got lucky that I can use sketchup and now actually have to learn how to resize my models and texture them which I have a bit of trouble with myself since zmod doesn't like me and 3DS max dosen't have the greates tutorials. Guess I am going to have to learn the hard way but nothing worth doing is ever easy. Just keep it up man have some faith in your own abilities and you will do just fine. Heck you might even show me a trick or two. Wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuckindumass Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 If you are still getting errors when exporting, make sure you put .dff at the end of the filename.....like, don't try to export as 'gun', use 'gun.dff' Anything else you need, you already know you can pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopeman322 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 yo i need some help trying to make the parts if u have seen the gun. but right now im having a problem okay check it i made my model in zmod 1.07 then i exported it as a 3ds file then imported it in sketchup 5 okay then i fixed some things then i exported it as a skp but made a copy of my model then i exported it again as a 3ds file then imported it in zmod but when i tryed to select a object it selects the whole model? so then i exported it as a z3d file but the same problem occurs what can i do?

fuckindumass Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Have you broken up the object into several parts yet? If not, use faces mode to select all the faces you want to seperate, then you can use the detach tool (create, objects, detach) oh yeah, zmod is the only program you need for this job. Well, that and a paint program to create your texture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiredwizardz Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Dopey, sup buddy listen didn't I teach you nuthin? Your familiar with sketchup just model it in there. Your going to have to do it in 2 layers. The first being the picture of the gun the second your tracing of it. Then export it out of sketchup like I showed you before and back into that infernal zmod and export as a dff. Once it is resized of course.

fuckindumass Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well, I can't help wiredwizardz help you as I've never touched sketchup.... Try a little experiment in Zmod. Open your model, then use shift + D to deselct everything. Now, try pushing 1, 2, 3, and 4, watch the toolbar, you'll see the four little squares changing up there. Pressing 1 switches to vertice mode (the little dots) 2 gets you edge mode, we don't need to mess witth that. 3 is faces, and that is what we seem to be concerned with. Once in faces mode, use the right side toolbar to choose 'select, single' Then you can right click on individual faces to select them The reason I recommend Zmod is that you will have to use it for final exporting, and since you haven't learned sketchup or zmod yet, I think you should at least learn basic zmod first. Now it seems wiredwizardz is very busy but is willing to help you, so I'm gonna duck out of this, pm me if you have any question regarding zmod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiredwizardz Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 @ Dopey Dude from the get go I told you to have paitence that is the only way your going to learn this stuff right? This is what I am going to do for you when I get home from work. I will make up a tutorial for you with pretty pictures and stuff. It should be easy enough to follow. That won't be till after 8pm tonight my time since I have to take my arse to work. Keep in mind I live in FLA. Another thing Do like mr.Dumbass says and practice just try a box first and play with that form. Practice Practice Practice that is all I can tell you man. I don't want you to give up on this for 2 reasons one because it is something you want to learn and 2 is because it gives you a pretty cool feeling to see your mod in game. Don't get discouraged. @f*ckindumass Actually I do have tons of stuff to do man you wouldn't belive it. Right now I am in the process of getting some files from Manhunt to add Carcer City ot the mod. Also I have other projects going on as well. Plus there are programs that I am learning as I go such as Zmod , 3dsmax and trying to get better with sketchup. I too still have to read tutorials and things of that nature. It isn't easy let me tell you but in the long run I think that it is worth it.
