lexsis Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 ok, here we go again. thinking of making some new character models. have like 2 ideas so far. I really like desert maps cause woodland is just boring. also, the current situation in Iraq is not represented (in modding) as I think it should be. so, Im thinking about doing some arab types. I know a while back somebody asked about a long-robbed arab. was one ever made? also, thinking about a woman model wearing the black robe bruqua thingy. just a thought. what are yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotH3D Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 All of that sounds very good, however does this mean you will not be releasing the work shown in your previous thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCO Spyder Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 (edited) Hey, I could (possibly other mission makers) use some like, nicely skinned, NPC characters you can place around the mission. I'v seen and used a General and Captain NPC..... there nice skins, and I dont wanna rag on the guy who created it cuz there good skins and im using them in missions..... but I have seen better detail on other skins and alls im sayin it'd be nice to have more characters in better detail. Again, no disrespect to the guy who made the skins i'm currently using. My idea is like, put it together like a pack or something. Have the basic skins, desert, and woodland, have some ranks resized and made to look good that you can add on the collar or hat or whatever, maybe make some blank name-tags people can take and place on the skin and write whatever name they want. It could be used over and over. Have some with totally no gear, just BDU's, and some with a little gear, then full gear. But ya, thats basicly it, just a kewl idea i think. Be kewl if you try it, if not ohwell. gonna go now, l8er and GL with your skinning -EDIT- Also for the missions im currently making. Middle Eastern characters would be nice too, and since that was something you named already, that'd be somethin kewl to make.

I WILL release the models from my previous thread, no need to worry. Im just making some more to go along with them. I was thinking about having some missions made for 3 existing maps while I work out the details on the map or two Im trying to have made. Im considering making just arabs if its not too difficult and if I can use the converted 3DS models like I did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCO Spyder Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 An NPC character is just basicly a non-playable character. But of course, its up to the mission maker weather or not its a NPC or not, but for some of my specific missions im making..... there are gonna be NPCs where you get a briefing or a little more intel ect ect. They really dont look any different then any other skin, its just how the mission maker uses it. Srry for not explainin that in the first thread.

Suicide Commando Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I'd love to see some Italian units such as COMSUBIN or Col. Moshin. Nice to have variety rather than all American stuff all the time. Keep up the good work lexsis. http://www.incursori.it/pagine/foto.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsis Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 which guys in particular, the boonie or the ski mask? do you have italian skins already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 The boonie,shemagh chr you made or some other. Up to you, there's lots of variation in those pics. Also wildcat made a template for one Italian camo some time ago. http://wildyjpn.cool.ne.jp/files/wildcats_Comsubin.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsis Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'll have something to show you guys in a few days. got so busy I didnt have time to do it this weekend. stay tuned. Im thinking of doing 2 new boonie types, another delta type and maybe another special forces. coming up with new ideas seem to be the hard part.

Sup Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 All of my requests are for a very specific project. And will likely never be made, since I don't have 3dsmax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of different things from the old 'X-com: Enemy unknown/Ufo defense' game. I've always wanted to make a tactical shooter mod for it.

richmondskin Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) i have always wondered why no one has ever attempted to make a model of an arabic nomad and his/her camel. think of it...you can create missions where the nomad runs away and you can ride his/her camel off to safety! another thing i have noticed it that there doesnt seem to be any models of any MP's, or SP's for that matter. :'( in closing, i'd love to see a South African soldier created, and something rhodesian would be cool to create a mini campaign or something pertaining to that era. cheers!

I had thought of making an MP/SP but I couldnt find any good pix (I didnt look long though) making some might be a good idea for GR2 though.

lexsis Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) ok, here are some renders of my boonie model. basically 2 versions. one with sleeves rolled all the way up vs sleevs rolled up just past the wrist. boonie v1 also is with knee pads and one without.

lexsis Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) here's boone v1 again but with marpat. I think the version without kneepads looks good in 3 color desert but then with the marpat, I think it looks best with kneepads. what do you guyd think? I made this based on this photo. boonie Edited October 5, 2004 by lexsis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
