This is quite cool, machf. Would be fun to try and recreate that area in a level with this terrain, especailly if we could somehow unearth the rest of the heightmap. This reminds me of the craggy road area at the Y intersection area that got walled off in B96. That area was supposed to be a swampy a...

spinaxoraptor - small tip, you can use the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard to take a screenshot of your desktop. Nothing will seem to happen when you do this, but what it actually does is copy the screenshot as if you'd hit "CTRL+C". You can then paste it into any image editi...

Retextured the JPOG spino and well, this a great start? Not half bad, is that your first time using GIMP for a re-skin? One thing I still find rather tricky to this day is getting rid of patterns that are already pre-baked into the skin (such as the white stripe down the spinosaur's torso). You sho...

I'm kind of surprised it hasn't turned up on GOG.com yet as they tend to be quite good at re-releasing old stuff. The game is pretty much abandonware at this point - it's due to that fact that I didn't even know it existed at all until about 2008 despite owning pretty much every single other JP game...

spinoxraptor - tatu has already reminded you, but please remember to avoid double-posting if you can. Use the "Edit" button if you need to add to something you've said if it's within 24 hours of your last post.

I don't think that should matter, you might try importing it into your level first to see if the opacity map is indeed broken. You can manually update the textures your model is using inside of its .TPM file and add the missing lines for opacity if need be.

The second one reminds me of an idea I had a long time ago to do a level where you're trying to find parts to fix a time machine and escape from the Cretaceous period. Unfortunately that never came to be - TrespasserGuy and I were discussing doing a similar thing but I just don't have the time to wo...

Welcome back! You must be one of the legends from before my time here. I actually read the entirety of your fan-fiction years ago, and it was partially what inspired me to do one for JPDS.

Nice work! That looks a lot like the Carnivores allosaurus. I'm amazed we have so many new dino models popping up all of a sudden.

These dinosaurs are all pretty neat! The giganotosaur's rough normal maps look fairly similar to those of the original game, and I definitely appreciate you picking a design other than whatever the heck they were doing in the new JW movie.

This is pretty good looking! The head in particular looks pretty realistic. Hopefully you get your problems fixed with this one - the transparency issue with the teeth and jaw can be fixed by duplicating the vertices for those parts and flipping their normals as Trespasser doesn't render backfaces.

By more "memory" do you mean RAM? Tres can't even use more than 2GB of RAM, 4GB if you run the 4GB patch on it. I have a GTX 1080 4GB which is generally pretty good for most games but my PC sometimes still lags with some of the more detailed Trespasser levels (35-45FPS, usually have it cap...

I used to use Gmax back when I first started to try modelling when I was like 11 or 12 as it was free and there were less options to make things complicated for a newbie. I currently have a college tuition copy of 3ds Max 2018 which somehow never expired (they told me it was good for 4 years but it'...

I see, okay, that looks about right as you've described. Was the cage perhaps then added for JP3? You can clearly see the new wooden walkway in the cage shot, I wonder if the cage was originally there at the time of Lost World at all? Though judging by the colour and design of it, it definitely does...

That octagon-dome area is quite interesting. Maybe it's meant to be a sort of "nursery" for observation of young specimens, while the "cage" is exactly that - a cage for holding the dinosaurs, enabling them to go out into the elements. Would match up with JP1's lab as well, with ...
