This is pretty awesome :tup:

Obviously the hilarious ramifications of making funny pawns will draw people, but I'm more interested in the idea of building on existing enemies, like armored versions (that Krall is a good example) or other such variations. I wanted something like this for a long time. Qtit, if only I saw you doing this stuff in 2006 :) As a mapper I hope to god you get a 226 version that translates as well. In that case I'd be on you like hair on a gorilla, making requests :o

The pawns I make you can easily parse to Unreal 226. Just UCC them. And, give me some ideas! What do you want I will make gladly! You have no idea how much fun this is. I can do many things with the models. Editing meshes is limited but I can ADD elements as separate parts.

You got Ideas, I got Skills. Give me.

At the moment I'm trying to make Nali female... Dunno how this works out, texturing is a pain for me, can't texture low poly for shit. Always did High Detailed meshes and baked textures.

And, yea, I want to make pawns that would add something to the Lore of Unreal.

Next to come maybe skaarjs with armors, but exporting frame by frame 600 frames is a pain.

Okay well...


I always wanted to see new types of Titans. For instance, a legitimate Stone Titan with rocks growing out of his back instead of the stegosaurus fins, showing some kind of geological/biological mutation. Also wanted to see something along the lines of Titans wearing armor, as if they had been equipped by the Skaarj for use in battle, like Trolls in Lord of the Rings or those Gigante guys in Resident Evil 4.

Obviously, you can do things with Skaarj. Elder Skaarj with different looking tusks, more pronounced hairdresses. Armored Skaarj would be interesting, but it's little details on the model that would make for more interesting varieties. For instance, a real Red Nemesis and not simply a reskinned Beserker :)

Would it also be possible to alter a Warlord's gun?

This is an Idea I was hoping for! Gonna go for that on my next attempt, should be pretty easy.

As it comes to skaarj, it'll take me a while to export animations... Click, click, click, 000.obj, enter, enter; Click, click, click, 001.obj, enter, enter; [three hours later] ; Click, click, click, 592.obj, enter, enter DONE!

Btw, if anywone knows a way to batchexport frames of an animation, I'm very much interested.

I wanted to meshsmooth Skaarj mesh to make it more... more.

Details on my PM please...

Alter? Always.

Glad to see I'm not the only one itching for more fleshed out Titans :tup:

I always wanted a Skaarj with Squids replacing his hands, a Squid sticking out from his back, and a pair of Warlord wings. If you played G59 you know what I'm talking about.

Errr, okay. Should That thing do all animations as the standard Skaarj does? Because, you know, I'm just altering MESHES not making new animations.

Behave like any other Skaarj, yeah. Squids tentacles should be semi-closed (assuming they won't move).

I can make them move. When I export the skaarj I'll try to make something like that.
You're saying something like in G59? Nope, didn't play it (yet).

Something like this. Squid on the back should be "breathing" (Squid breath anim), other two just stuck semiclosed.

Er... No problem! That's actually one of the easier ones :D

I still think that you should make the Pirate Skaarj. A proper one with a hat and a coat, like Captain Jack Sparrow.

Yea, I'll make that too. As I said, too many frames to export for one day xD

Edith:
Not really satisfied, gonna make the rocks additional meshes.

Planning - Desert Titan, Cave, Swamp and Ice.
