Models

[Amaster]

Alright, so I decided I want to make some Doom landscapes in 3D Studio Max. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find models of the enemies. I like to do scenes and dont really care for modelling so I dont really feel like making them myself (not to mention that I suck at it). What about the md2 thingies used in JDoom? Can those be converted to .3ds format or something else that could use?

If you insist on using other people's work, I'm sure there's a MD2->3DS converter that can help you. If all else fails, you can always convert between formats using Milkshape.

Don't forget to apply several iterations of meshsmooth.

7 meshsmooth iterations minimum, anything less will look like crap.

You know, with a little bit of effort he could make a displacement map from the skins. That would really -really- enhance the meshsmooth.

OW! My brain!

Well, if you're gonna have displacement maps, you need to have raytraced reflections and shadows, the 2 go hand in hand.

Hey thats an awesome idea, hadn't thought of that. Doubt I'll bother raytracing though due to the crappiness of my computer.
