:thumbsup: gets my thumb of approval.

make that two thumbs.

three thumbs!

Haha, nice!!!


Woeking on a playable robot now. I will use the vanilla bodsystem, so there'll be no deform of bodyparts. In TC you'll be able to switch between compartible bodyparts and install all kind of upgrades!!!

Every time you post something, i am thinking this looks more and more interesting, and i want to try it out soon. Makes me really wish i could use blender and had more artistic ability. Perhaps I'll try my hand at modeling a few underwater weapons.

Thx mate, Have a look at my forums, I'm offering anybody who likes to, Blender- and as far as I know Photoshop-Training. It can be done very efficient using skype and doing it in realtime. I've tought a bunch of people yet. I need a lot of 3D modelers to help on this TC and I think this is a fair deal. I teach you guys my skills and you help me a bit with small things like clutter on my TC.

Here's the beta version of some bb_cyborg/robot thingy I made today. It was a hell of work to get it working right and special thx goes to my man Chainy for fixing some very nasty issues on that thing. :foodndrink:


Just threw on some standard metal textures quick, will make custom ones in time!!!

I will also make a full robot, today I had to test if and how it can even be done the way I thought it out. Well, you can use this cyborg as you see it here or even combine it with a standard bb upperbody, which looks very freaky and cool.


TheDaywalker :rock:

Wow, man nice!

I'll see that and double it with mine! That robot looks pretty nice, although the alien helm's chin is still a bit awkward IMO.

Well, this won't be the only helmet in TC, not everybody can like a special design. I make all my models freehand, without any references. Sometimes it turns out to be cool, sometimes it doesn't work for some persons, that's the way it is. But, I made forum forum for that reason and as I'm known to post my work while in progress, there is a chance for you guys to discuss the designs. It is easier to change things at an early stage than having to do large alerations to a final model.

Question, I've seen a lot of screenshots for male characters and NPC's so far; are there any females in the works?

Females??? What for?!


TheDaywalker :rock:

Wait, are you talking real life, or the mod.

I think DarkDiva was asking about in the mod. In real life, I have yet to figure out what they're for, besides confusing me.

Yeah, I still haven't figured out what all the males are for either. Except annoying me :rolleyes:

Haha, was just joking, sure there'll be females too, just give me some more time!!!


PS: I like woman in PC games very much, because I can manually raise their Intelligence, if necessary!!


TheDaywalker :rock:

oooohh.....
man, thats ig worthy right there!

Ok, fun is over and as I felt a bit guilty this morning, I had to go into Blender and begin working out something for the ladies aswell. This is what I came up with sofar. Now I would like you chicks, uh, I mean you woman to tell me how you would like that female cyborg to look finally?!

Shall the body be sharp edged metal, like on the male version, human flesh or even mixed. I would like to preserve the shapes of butty and boobs though and I hope I'm speaking for the rest of the males here!!! Oh, yeah and I was thinking of letting her have high heels.

TheDaywalker :rock:

That's really amazing right there.

Interesting.

And I agree on keeping the booty and some chest, every mod needs a bit of sixiness in some form. :hubbahubba:

I'm going to try and politely ignore the invitation to debate concepts of 'sixy' with males who've obviously forgotten that that term swings all ways; since people who don't recall that 'sixy' is a genderless but very personally biased term are likely incapable of conceptualizing other people's definition for it - that would be a long fruitless debate that I've had before and will just make me want to join a monastery. Again.

I'll just let http://www.youtube.com/user/kirithem?has_verified=1#p/u/4/R8ZVZRsy8N8 attempt to explain it for me.



I like the arm. It'd be really cool if I could switch out the more feminine torso for one that's also see through and can show of the awesome modifications to the character's inner systems (I'm envisioning something like a sweet custom pc case mod where you want a see through window to show off the awesome) that would rock.

Yeah, females are very few in PC game section and it would be kind hard for me to make a TC that suits female interests. Also it happens only once in a while that a female modder or user replies to my threads and throws in some ideas, so how should I know what you guys expect from a good mod/ game. Nice, awesome, good job isn't very informative you know?

I could make that body the way you mentioned, but there is a slight technical problem, the bb upperbody does bend during the animation and so will all stufff that is located inside. In case Ieave the inner stuff static, it will clip through, while the upper body moves. I could use old bodypart system though, but I guess nobody wants that stiff bodies anymore.


TheDaywalker :rock:

There's actually quite a lot of us, everyone just assumes we're male and for the most part the issue doesn't come up as necessary to rectify. In fact it's often easier to just ignore questions of gender in even the most glancing sense because more times than I'd like to mention the response tends to be less than tactful, which in my case is both infuriating and frustrating.

I just want to play a fun unique game, like everyone else. Eye candy is nice but right up till I asked about female characters - sixiness just didn't seem to be the point of all the eye candy this mod has already, which was the awesome part. Totally unique with interesting purposed features but any sixiness would have been up to the player to conceive of. That was awesome. Adding the sixiness suddenly just because I mentioned females, not so much.

Yeah I've played as someone else concept of a sixy female character before. You kind of can't escape it. But if I'd had the opportunity to be in on the development stages and point out that I'd rather not play as someone else's concept of sixy, just female, I'd definitely bring it up then too.

Keep in mind I'm definitely not trying to rain on your creative parade just get some info on the one aspect of this TC I was concerned I hadn't seen any of so far and explain why all the 'boobs and butty' talk is off putting.



I'm sorry, I thought you mentioned that the robots would use the old bodypart system so that their parts could be swiped out with upgrades etc? The option that offers greatest amount of flexibility for the robotic race's customizability would be the way to go and robots don't need to be 'seamless' like BB's at all right? Either way it was just a thought, customizing my own robot seems like a really awesome concept no matter how it gets implemented in the end.

Well due to forum rules, I can't go in depth with that kinda discussion and in the end it is up to every single person how he/ she defines sixyness in an rpg. For me as a male, I wanna see some of those nice crispy butties and boobies and as this is my TC, there'll be plenty of!!!

I will certainly take care of , if some female gamers have some special wishes concerning accessoirs for decorating and detailing their characters, but for sake of my mental health I won't read any books on feminism to better this TC.


I tried the old body system and it turned out to be not that exact concerning placement and rotation of the bodyparts than a rigged one. And I need a high grade of accuracy to make the kind of joints work correct, which I have used on my models. So I will stay with bb for the not-extremities.


TheDaywalker :rock:

pah, make it suit both interests, easy, make the males musclebound (and smart.... and no beer bellies.... and they clean.... and no underpants on the ground...) and make the females.... "womanly"
:P

:lmao:

Well at least he's honest.
