OverFlow's Update pics Thread (modems beware)

[Crylar]

oops, now I saw the egg in the celing

[OverFlow]

MoP has stated that he is now much too busy with other projects and school to work on tremulous.  So one again, I kinda take over another's modeling duties.  However, its only really the battle suit I have to make.  Luckily with the human characters, its very easy to animate because id released all the player animations for the q3 players.  

For some reason I decided to remake the base trooper model though.  I never really liked it to begin with, not because of the artisic value, which is quite higher than my own, but because I feel it doesnt really fit the 'theme' I've created with the aliens, weapons, and other random accessories.  So whether or not this will be in the initial release, here are some previews of the human trooper model I made last week, as well as a rigging test animation.  It may look famililar because I based it very much on the previous human model shown somewhere in this thread...

Turns out rigging the shoulders really sucks... but I think I have it in an acceptable state right now.  Also, here's a pic that shows a little more detail on the hemlet since its a little hard to see whats going on right now.

Is the right one the "battle suit"??

That would be the light armor and helmet upgrades.  I'm going to be making a seperate battle suit model  

[Crylar]

make it BIG!!

Just a heads up, dragoon skin is pretty much done. Just needs some minor brightness tweaking.

if it's not to much trouble, could you make the avi a mov file? thank you.

I tried making it a .mov, but it ended up having lots of weird artifacts and stuff in it, the file was also almost 3mb

However, I have finally done something I think is somewhat worthy skinning-wise... I watched a tutorial and painted a skin for the head of the human model



Its a bit streched, but you get the idea....  It took maybe 4-5 hours, but its my first face

Wow. The stretched left image looks like that guy's face from the movie "altered states" when he drinks too much south american hallucinogen and spends too much time in the isolation tank. It works though, and that's what matters.  And it looks good.

oh my, haven't updated in some time...

yay, bsuit is made, rigged, animated, uvw mapped, and jex has already started a kickass skin.


MoP gave me the files for the trooper model, and I added a couple of animations so that it would correctly hold the blaster.... yay.

keep up the good work

i like it all, cept maybe on the unsuited human, the helmet wraps around to the back (no issue here) and then theres that little part that goes up in the back, shielding the back of his head.. it seams a bit out of place when you see the front-upper part being open (or more open).

still i like..

I don't know if I like the shape of the new human head, could you post in in wireframe,

YAY for BattleSuit, and YAY for blaster pose, I like there poses.

[OverFlow]

Hrm, haven't updated in a while  Imagine I used to be upset if I didn't get anything done over a few days...  Well, that was during the summer, now days I'm a bit busy.  Anyways, Jex finished up the battle suit skin and I paked it up for immediate use  should be up in the betas section in a day or two.  

[Crylar]

Looking good!

[Tyler]

yes indeed, looks good
