3d models development

[Ztormi]

I think I know what's wrong with it. Maybe the chest plates should look more rectangular.
It doesn't support skintones yet cause I was messing around with the arms texture. I'll fix it and post new image later.

Had a go at Combat Shotgun. I think the texture's not quite right, but it depends how accurate it needs to be i.e. whether it's noticeably wrong at game resolution and so on. Probably wouldn't need too much tweaking to make it better.

I think the mesh is great. I also like the contrast of the texture so i think it looks better from distance.



Anyways made yet more fixes to leather armor. Further more scaled and edited the shoulder pads. Moved them further from the head. Edited the chestplate texture and structure a bit to make it look more rectangular. Removed the shirt from the arm texture so it supports skin tones.



Would it be cool if pants and shirt underneath would use player customized cloth colors? No?
Is this the case with metal armor?

We are planning to support armors of the same type in differnet colors. How exactly this will look in the end is not yet decided. Right now, it might be armor + dye kit == armor with dye kit color.

Just one remark: butt end should be flat

Just great now.

Yes, Karpov did it in MA test video. He used base pants texture instead of armor one. Just make some textures and they can be mixed.

P.S. Lexx, please, update the development tracker. We don't know what to do if we don't know what is done.
P.P.S. Karpov, we are waiting for female base model. Otherwise, the job is half done.

How about armors?
My fingers are itching for new job already  

I guess critters are bit tricky. I think one should have better knowledge of skeletons and animations for the engine to start working with those.

[Lexx]

Critters aren't super important yet. More important is getting the human (male and female) done. After that maybe ghouls, as they don't require that much changing from humans and later sometime the super mutants.

Beeing able to play a ghoul or super mutant, isn't that what many want to have? :p

It seems that all male models are done, so we have to wait until Karpov will give us a female model.

After that maybe ghouls

Don't know if this could be considered as complete ghoul model, but something is done already:

Most of the hairstyles are also still missing afaik. But of course we can start without them.

Why not to take VB hair models? There is a bunch of nice hair models.

@Up: Right. Forgot about 'em.

Critters will go 3d as well? Do we really need that? I mean, I thought 3d was about customisation, not just "lawl me looks awsum!"

Well spotted. I'll fix that and reupload in a bit.

Agreed. Why waste time on something which is already perfect? I'd much rather someone makes completely new enemy 3d models (after player models are finished).

3D critters is good, when you want to have a different colors for different types of a single creature. For example, Mean Centaur could be a little different from Tough Centaur and so on. This game isn't about PvE but still.
Ofc, as Lexx said, it's not too important for now.

For me it is, that's why I am only working on PvE content.
