Great work, Ren, as always ;)
[Edit] As it goes for good old dos games - I've always been a fan of Ishar series, I opened its third installment under dosbox lately, and got hooked again :) I wonder if I could recreate this city in T3ed somehow.. ;)

Makes me remember the dirty half-rotten doors in the enclosed quarter. Although they were always blurry because of the small texture size...
The little arch reminds me though that there are quite some arch doors in T3Ed with apparently no fitting door frame. :erg: I can always look through them...

As promised, a (
http://rapidshare.com/files/156338592/old_door.rar.html) link to the high poly model. I'll be converting it into both a texture and a low poly mesh probably sometime later this week. I just figured I'd fire the current model to anyone that wants to take a look instead of sitting on it until I finally get around to doing the rest.
I've got the textures and 3 files attached. An .lwo and .lxo for the Lightwave people, or for people wanting to try out Modo (I recommend it. Get the 30 day free trial), and an .obj for the Max folks. The .lwo and .lxos are subpatched, the .obj is frozen to polygons considering I'm not quite sure how subpatching works in Max.
Check it out, use it however, critique at will. I'll have the ingame stuff done hopefully soon.

(

It takes me forever to bake normals
Pardon my interruption, but is this expression a typo, a figure of speech or common terminology for this sort of thing?

It's common terminology for this sorta thing. In 3D-talk, all the various visible surfaces on your model are called normals, and rendering all those surfaces to a texture is called baking.
In short, baking a normal is basically an overly fancy way of me saying I'm making a normalmap out of my model.

Speaking of it, we also cook ibt files, that is creating the final mission files with the maps, objects, scripts and textures in them so that everyone can play it.

Ar. I'm slightly familar with normals, but baking sounds so time and energy consuming (not too familar with all this post texture mapping stuff, me. I guess you have to create a detailed bump map type thing from a higher res model or something along those lines and that could require some processing.)
Er, no one need derail further by explaining it to me. I'll go look it up. ;) Cheers.
