I know you all like the Tetris Kossack, but I wouldn't model it, because, well, Tetris is a registered (and very actively protected) trademark of The Tetris Company I honestly (and naively) thinked that "Tetris" was public domain. But It's not really a problem (maybe I'm naive again), because you can just call him "Kossack" or "Tetrakossack" or something like that. Now about blocks textures of the hat: they are called "tetrominos" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino). I don't think they are copyrighted, maybe only if you associate the same colors of Tetris's tetrominos. Still you can use pentominos ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentomino). The real problem is that I've put "Tetris" Kossack on my Deviantart page, releasing him under public domain

mmm... what about adding flickering lights (like a Christmas tree) on top of "antennas/needles"? I had this idea after I've made the sketch.

I like the needles as they are. Adding little lights would make his head look like a christmas tree

It's all cool and well, but since this is already in Idea Pit, well... remember that OA is steering away from the common and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overused "grimdarkbrownseriousandgrittywhereeveryoneisabadass" stereotype found in FPS.

@ all Thanks remember that OA is steering away from the common and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overused "grimdarkbrownseriousandgrittywhereeveryoneisabadass" stereotype found in FPS.
Ok, but whatever style you are going to use for OA, I think you should mantain at least one classic sci-fi_sport_helmet_badass soldier for the following reasons: 1) You will always use classic sci-fi FPS weapons. 2) It's a link and tribute to the origins. 3) Some people force models for visibility and a good "sport skin" should be welcome. 4) Others force models for stylistic reasons: they prefer gunfights against and with sci-fi soldiers (expecially during teams based games). 5) This version of sarge is half sci-fi_soldier and half sci-fi_athlete, I think He will fit whatever style/map/game you are going to do. 6) I think it's the best sketch I'v done so far

2) It's a link and tribute to the origins. This is one of the reasons he will be redesigned for future versions such as DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/OA3]OA3, so he looks less Doomguy-like. Right now, we're on the "no ripoff/knockoff" side. 3) Some people force models for visibility and a good "sport skin" should be welcome. That's a problem with visibility on maps, something we're trying to address and hopefully fix on future versions. 4) Others force models for stylistic reasons: they prefer gunfights against and with sci-fi soldiers (expecially during teams based games). They have many other games to do this. I don't get why every FPS should have the same thematic.

I only know that all this kind of games have official or UNofficial flamboyant skins for visibility. They have many other games to do this. I don't get why every FPS should have the same thematic. So, OA gameplay must keep classic, but not a single OA model must look classic. Well, I disagree but it's just my opinion.

For classic gameplay + classic looks, there's already Q3A itself. No need to be redundant.

I read that, with just 1 modeler left, It's hard to see new model for the project (no kickstarter?)
Anyway, I've made a colored version for my Tetromino Kossack, just for fun.

more accurately, there's one player modeler left, and two new weapon model contributors (that modeled off my rough weapon concepts, and I feel really bad because i'm a major procrastinator ). I have been drawing plenty of stuff lately, you might want to check the OA3 forum. also i've been hacking up the engine with some important things OA needed for a long long time. Code progress

It's buildable. Might need libxmp though, since that's a very recent library.
The only real help I need with the engine is the integration with Q3MME's scriptable fx system (particles) in the client. They're not compilable as-is right now.
Also there's a bit of memory leak I can't seem to figure out for playing back mod files with the xmp support. It doesn't seem to unload them when they're done even though it's in the code :/

1) Finally the final post about sarge/pro.
I've made a colored version of sarge/pro because I was curious to see him with colors, and I thinked the case was closed.
But I saw a bike helmet, and then I decided the last modification. He is not so bad: more sport less quakey. I've made a simple collage for it.
2-3) Some weapons concepts, design is minimal and proportions are not mandatory.

I think your Sarge/pro + those weapons would be great in a new game of their own.

indeed, these are far too 90 degree-angled to suit the current OA3 project.

These sketches are pretty damn good. But instead of them being new mock ups of existing models, they could and should go on and be there own. An expansion of characters for the game would be nice. I can't express how cool they look from my first view of them. I'm sure these would be considered, and would be in favor of there own models.
Maybe a few polls on this would be good?
1) Who likes the sketches?
2) Should they be considered expansion characters?

That has to be remodeled as it's a bit low poly below my new target (2000 tri)
