0.9.0 player model/skin todo

[fromhell]

i do have a roadmap on the wiki, but not many read it. but for models this is what i want to do for oa0.9.0
- enhance all models animations (I just learned the action panel and editing keyframes, all this time i've been animating blindly!) I really hope I can do this, or at least get help on this from experienced Blender animators
- Retire Rai's bunny suit in favor for some festive body paint like this?
- Redo Ayumi from scratch (probably taking the midriff baring design for the sake of polygons, maybe jenna could make a comeback)
- Redo Major from scratch, with a total reconcept as well (better outfit, ethnic neutral face for more versatility also)
- Beret getting a black spinoff skin (like sarge/roderic)
- Beret also getting a death robot spinoff skin too?
- Sorceress human skin, not the dark elf (but dark elf will still be there)
- Get voice actresses for all the female players, instead of recycling the same old voice
- Tweak all player sounds, make them more audible/less lame (compress)
- Add stilgar's book dropping stuffs to the death noises for corpse thumps (this will give the game a lot of life)
- Censored angelyss/arachna/sorceress for non-mature pk3
- Remove angelyss/nekoyss, replace with new model
- Make funk man
- Make 80s man

I like Major as she is though

yes, it is not so bad and can be kept under a different name;
lajor, fajor, oldajor, nojor, x-major, grandmajor, ...

[kit89]

The old Major sources will most likely be kept, if the new version does not turn out as planned.

I look forward to see this new Major.

[Noob Sauce]

No reason to take stuff away - just add the new stuff. More is better.

[pulchr]

More is better.

not always.

Oh ... is this the plan for the new major? Will we be getting a new gargoyle too? 

[P . Scimmia]

   
... I would do it myself (and maybe do a test with 3D blender) but if there is the thought of a new character because it inspired such mirmillone the gladiator? ...
this is a useful link!
But it may be a mixture of ancient and modern, not necessarily the Roman as an example my sketch:

the fact of thinking about the cowboy hat, the bulletproof vest, the shield of the police and various special link above

[Snickersnack]

If the gladiator had bare abs it could be an interesting riff off OA sarge or Doom guy.

Just some comments on the model.

Great idea
Torso may be bareskine only armarmor make torso nice with big muscles
Hand that holds shield wil look better when it makes a fist  (or turn the shield into a handbagg )
Nice idea that gladiator model!!
==============================

Id like to see a model kinda like ayumi with longer hair and a long dress no feet visible,sort of gothic dress now i come to think of it.  Name Gothicate
Is that possible?

[Noob Sauce]

More is better.

not always.

In this case I think it is.

[fromhell]

maybe neko should have her own model instead of crappy hijacks of others. that way i can save polys on angelyss by having the collar, ears and tail removed, plus i get to play around with fur alpha planes.

[Marble of Doom]

need to give major a camo skin like beret to make a sort of "millitary duo" thing. Or maybe a Sarah Connor look: http://www.log24.com/log/pix08A/080830-T2-Sarah.jpg

I'm taking this semester off due to upcoming life changing events so I'd really like to use my new found free time to contribute.

I'm still a blender noob but I'm reading an e-book called "Blender: noob to pro" so I'm hoping thats not just a catchy title like the time I read "C++ in 21 days." I couldn't even read through the whole book in 21 days much less learn anything, but I digress.  What I really want is to find a happy medium between learning something new and actually doing something that I actually know well enough to be of some help. 

If you have some low hanging fruit on the todo list I could start there.  Obviously that's all relative to your skill set so here's my list in order from most skilled to least skilled: Drawing by hand, drawing with pen tablet, editing graphics in gimp, creating graphics, programming, scripting, character modeling or skinning, map making, quantum physics, and strafe jumping+shooting.

Thanks to the guys in the #blenderchat on irc I at least know now that you can't use the sculpt tool with 7 subversions if you want to make models for games so there's hope for me yet even though modeling is down there close to quantum physics on my skill list.  And as soon as I find the right file format converter I might try to convert the model from my ikea kitchen planner into a playable level, ha, bloody ikea and their closed source decorating software. 

Anyway, that's my two cents/mini introduction.

See ya in game.

[cosmo]

Textured mapmodels would be appreciated.

Things like teleporters, lamps, floodlights, sconces, floating skulls , decoration, stuff to spread out

You need an md3 exporter plugin for blender and texturing skills.

oh i forgot to post this (site difficulties), please note that this is from FEBRUARY and was a half-hearted mock up.
i'm trying to make her appear even more partial feline than previous incarnations (SHES MUTATING!!!!)
proportions not final, seems too bimbo

[Snickersnack]

Neko Mystique?

I think more feline features would be interesting. The face on the old Nekoyumi model was freaky in the half person/ half cat sense.

[fromhell]

I think more feline features would be interesting.

yeah, hopefully it'll be furry in realistic mutation but not fursuity. I do not want this.

...

I want a music video too.

[Mickeymac92]

Rai with body paint would be cool, but do you really need to get rid of the Bunny Suit? I really do like that bunny suit.

Black Beret would be awesome, and Death Robot Beret would be even awesomer!

Can't wait to see what the new Ayumi and New Major will look like!

[fromhell]

this time i'm not gimping out with a filter for the fur. WIP.

p.s. clothing ideas appreciated. consider that she lives in japan though (she's still japanese since her introduction in 0.7.0)

[Snickersnack]

I liked the cat people from the old crpg Albion. Clothing was more an ornament than cover.

What kind of cat person is neko? Any inspirations?

[fromhell]

What kind of cat person is neko? Any inspirations?

A human with extreme mental problems believing she's a cat and will be a cat when she can afford it. 2 years in OpenArena and being a popular skin to use online(now her own model), storywise she has 'earned' enough profit in order to afford implants (silicone in her breasts, anime iris contacts) and transplants (on her head, face and skin, and a tiger's tail).

It's sort of a parody on the furtaku/fursuiter/anthro community and what they fantasize in including anime and obsessing over japan peoples (Some even prominently advertising faux-Japan locations and nationality because it's 'cool').
It's also sort of inspired by Hide's Marygold model for UT2k4.

(There's a tvtropes link that should belong here, but don't know which.)

[pulchr]

if she wants feline features - what's the deal with the enormous breasts? it looks clumsy and far from the agility that i imagine a cat would have. of course there are fat cats too, but i doubt they would fight in the arena

[Graion Dilach]

Will the Widowe-skin return in 0.9.0? And why was it removed?
