[SA] country2n.ipl MeshSmoothed

01 Fev 2019, 17:28

With 3ds Max's MeshSmooth modifier, I'm able to smooth GTA SA's meshes automatically (and fix bugs caused by MeshSmooth) easy and fast. I started MeshSmoothing country2n.ipl two days or so ago and it's nearly completed (might be released tonight, or tomorrow).
There's a preview mod of this MeshSmooth project already released by me.

Video and download of the preview mod:

The whole countryn2 map is MeshSmoothed:
Imagem

Bugs fixing and cols replacing are left to do.
Average size per MeshSmoothed .dff from countryn2.ipl = 250 kb. Highest size of MeshSmoothed .dff from countryn2.ipl = 950 kb. Polycount is low and still looks good.

v1.1 Update:
Almost all white holes/lines are fixed. Most of white holes/lines are replaced with gray/black color (gray/black color is less noticeable/irritable than white). Because some meshes are tweaked/updated to eliminate the white hole/line bugs, some of their colsurfaces/cols are now bugged. Next update will include colsurface/col fixes.

v1.1.2 Update:
Prelight and Area 69 fixes.

Finally... Firefly always wanted this. Did you use her tutorial?

01 Fev 2019, 19:25

Her tutorial's for Zmodeler/Blender. This is all 3ds Max.
Her tutorial inspired me to try something similar with 3ds max, tho.

I will post a video tutorial of MeshSmoothing models on 3ds max, eventually.

Please, continue to convert the entire desert. And the rest of the map if you can; the mod looks amazing if they convert all the rest of the map.

I fixed the lighting and col materials. Now CJ, cars, peds etc doesn't get dark, the terrain is now sand (not more concrete) and the procedural vegetation now works. However I did this quickly just to make the mod more usable, so there may be flaws, especially the rocky parts, they are still concrete.

Thanks. How did you fix the lighting?

I did this way to transfer colsurfaces from original/vanilla collisions to modded collisions:

1: select all verts of a vanilla gta sa model
2: attach to modded gta sa model
3: delete vanilla verts
4: export the .col from the modded gta sa model with deniska's col exporter

Result:

some colsurfaces are messed up/bugged.

How did you fix them? What is your way of transferring colsurfaces from original to modded with the colsurfaces intact?

I didn't do this and I think there is not a way to do it, after all, it's totally another mesh, I just did a quick fix manually.

Thought there'd maybe be a better way to do colsurfaces effectively. I'll tweak colsurfaces manually then.

I restarted the countryn2.ipl MeshSmoothed project yesterday - I want to ensure the project's quality to be as high as possible and at least almost bug-free. So, time be a bit longer.
Colsurfaces and lod meshes are left to do (and finding more holes/gaps to fix, and etc minor things).
