UT2kX [Character] Rocket

[Character] Rocket (updated to v1.2)

A sullen pyromaniac, Rocket has been relentlessly blowing things up since her early childhood. Her appearance in the Tournament was just a matter of time.
Thanks to the family support, she now has a mighty sponsor and a caring teammate.

Although Rocket is not the smartest competitor out there, when backed by Lilian's tactical mind, she becomes a royal pain in the ass.

~6500 tris, two textures: 1024x1024 for the head and 2048x2048 for the body. 2 team colors.

More screenshots

As you can see from the screenshots, she is always carrying a special redeemer missile with her. At first I wanted it to work with custom species, so she could have one additional ammo for the redeemer or a slightly different version of the missile (more damage, faster traveling speed etc.)
But when I actually googled a bit I realized that this will involve too much programming which I'm totally incapable of, so I decided to release this model as it is.


UPDATED to v1.1

Changelist:
1) mostly rigging tweaks: thighs, shoulders, spine, ammo belt.
2) also fixed a pair of odd shadows on the diffuse map.
3) removed brackets and underscoring from the names for online compatibility.
4) made a new portrait.


UPDATED to v1.2

Changelist:
Fixed vertex weights on her left hand.

Any crits, advices and questions are always welcome. I also appreciate any help with bios. My English doesn't get any better, and despite the fact that I spent like 30 minutes with vocabulary writing these 4 sentences I'm still not sure if everything is correct.

By the way, some guy contacted me yesterday and asked for help with KAT.
Unfortunately I couldn't help him, but he noticed that you're also still working on some UT characters and asked me if I can forward his contacts to you.

[14:50:33] Daniel Wesoly: Could you contact him for me and tell him to get in contact with me
[14:50:44] Daniel Wesoly: Steam - killerwes
[14:51:02] Daniel Wesoly: Skype - cairn_trenor
[14:51:17] Aberiu: You mean leilei?
[14:51:25] Daniel Wesoly: Yep
[14:52:31] Aberiu: Why don't you register on BU forums and send him a pm? Cause basically that's the only thing I can do as well. I don't know his e-mail.
[14:53:22] Daniel Wesoly: Yeah that's what I meant.. I can't register in the forums for some reason

You decided not to receive PMs so I'll just leave it here.
