[Seventh Parallel] Bhogavati sculptures from TR:U

[esperesa]

I should have been at a lecture but the train network is a right mess, boo hoo. So instead you get this thing for your tomb-raiding, art-stealing scoundrels: Statues from the Bhogavati level from Tomb Raider: Underworld.

There are two - faced left and faced right - and they have shadows and everything. Unfortunately they don't have the pretty bumpmapping like they have in the original game, but I did manage to make the fan reflective. You can find them under Sculptures for about $2000. Both files are compressed.

awesome site for sims 3 stuff

[(Anonymous)]

I have long admired your beautiful houses and furniture (lurked in the bg mostly) and found a site I thought had objects similar to your style:

Luna's (sims 3) objects are anazing and I think you might possibly like them, so please check them out if you have the time!

I remember playing that part of the game XD Moving both sculptures and the ray of light hahaha. I would play it again if I weren't so scared of skulls XD

Ah yes, I know of Luna! She makes lovely, elegant things. Unfortunately I don't really play TS3, so any CC I have for it just sits here collecting dust. :(

Tootsie!
Hee, you mean the skull pillars from Xibalba e.e? Dangling metres above the floor with only a couple of skeletons to keep you company? Oh, that was fun.

[esperesa]

Haha, you're very welcome!

Hi Yuxi,
I think I can bump enable the cloth of the statues (and the rest as well).
Interested ?

[esperesa]

Eeee, Pixelhate! *fangirls!*
Definitely interested! I think it would make a huge difference.

I still remember the first time I saw the skull. I was alone at home and when I saw it coming to me I was like SHIT SHIT SHIT *pauses game*, *turns all lights on*, *stops playing* hahahahahaha. But when i got that stone-maze (or whatever it is) the roles changed ê_ê I felt god hahahahaha.

Hope everything is fine over there :3 (maybe you're nearly frozen there XD here's so cold)
Hugs,
tootsie <3

Thanks yuxi, i am in love with the tomb raider saga and every time i see you or someone else posting something about tr for the sims i get very excited!
This is by far my favorite game of the TR Saga and those statues from the Thailand level are gorgeous!

Are you a fan of tr by the way?

Yes! Tomb Raider is my favourite game series ever, and Underworld is my favourite game of the series too (although Legend comes at a very close second). Can't wait to see what they're going to do with the newest game.

Hello, sorry for hijack this message.
But I'm really interested with the bump thing on this object.
The fact that I'm rarely do object recoloring so I must be honest that recoloring this object is confusing me.

This statue only can be recolored on her skin and it's pedestal (which I also confused to determined the edge of the square shape *crying to have it's texture map, please...)

So forgive me if I somehow have to replaced your texture on this object, Yuxi. Since I don't know how to recolor the other part except to change your texture. T_T

And can it possible to make it's pedestal and her fan less glossy? I don't know how to change that with SimPe. (beginner alert)

Anyway... this is temporary result of your beautiful statue which I recolor it.

Please, Yuxi... I really really love this statue and want to recolor it properly. But above all, Thank you so much and I'll be waiting for your reply. (PS: Sorry for my not fluent English)

Hi Myxeint!
Looking back at these files, it seems the reason I gave this so many groups ( making only two subsets recolourable is a game restriction) is because that was how the original mesh was mapped: Different groups, all with a completely different texture, and mapped in such a way that simply combining the textures and remapping the mesh parts is almost impossible. So I can't make it properly recolourable, I'm afraid.

Instead of replacing the texture (which is fine if it's for your own use only, but can cause conflicts for downloaders), it's better to clone the object for your recolour(s) instead. But remember to register a new GUID for it (in the OBJD tab - click 'get GUID'), or it will still conflict.

To remove the glossy bits (I think I did that because it was a mirror in the original game), you have to go to the Material Definition (TXMT), go to the 'stdMatEnvCubeMode' line, and change 'reflection' to 'none'.

As for a UV map for the pedestal, it has an impossibly strange mapping so I doubt it would be of much help. The best advice I could give is to just experiment with your texture while you are in Milkshape.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help! These objects just aren't really optimal for TS2, so we'll have to improvise. XD

I'm so sorry for causing you trouble, Yuxi.
But I don't know how to clone object and making new GUID with that..so if it's okay, then I'll be continuing replacing ur texture with mine and don't worried I never share anything that cause conflict to other. Since I'm new with object recoloring so I'm not confident share my recolor yet.. *shy*

And thank you for teaching me how to change the glossy part. I hope I can succeded editing it. About texture/UV map, well...I guess I have to find another texture that's fit. Since I only have SimPE for recoloring and I don't have Milkshape.

Anyway, thank you again..
