Cathode type WIP

[Continuum]

Ah, I see. It'd be nice if she held her wings in-game like she does in the loading screen...or she could acctually fly somewhat...

I should be getting Max 8 this week so I may try and rig up the animation and try my hand at some unreal script to make a meele attack where the wings are "blades" and do shieldgun damage but if you hit a wall it damages you because of the speed (forward x 3 to extend the forward jump combo) and a power jump for jump x 3, only problem is I don't have much programming experience outside of VB and database related things so it could take quite a while for it to get done.

Nice work once again, Continuum :tup:

Will wait for the next weekly update featuring tcs

 

[Continuum]

Might not get to the teamskins this weekend, I just spent a few hours tonight making an additional combo move based off of the speed combo, it is still far from finished and kind of only a rough idea at this time but here are some screenshots. Hopefully I can get all the detail worked out and get this into a species.

 

[LeGeNDaRy]

Great idea for the speed combo, and great skin as well.

 

[Maxx]

I`m looking forward to this, will be another great addition to my UT2k4-folder :tup:

 

[Venuswarrior1221]

The Speed combo is looking good. Keep up the good work, and soon, we'll be worshipping you along with Slaughter and Klasnic as Skincity's skinning gods.

 

[klasnic]

Good to see you on FragBU too. It takes a bit of getting used to playing against all the ppl who've been at it for years but don't let it deter you. It's great fun too (especially if you listen on TeamSpeak while playing)

So how many times exactly did you ShieldGun me

 

[Continuum]

lol, Ive got shield gun bound to caps so I can pull it out fast. Most of the time I play on an RPG Invasion server so it takes some getting used to fire rate and such that Ive built up over the last year there.. guess I was a bit disoriented

 

[Venuswarrior1221]

Oh. You can pull that Cathode skin off pretty good. I suggested a name here: Nerocathina. To you it may sound a bit strange, but it's sure sounding so cool and kick-ass.

 

[Continuum]

Spent to much time playing around this weekend to get any actual work done but while I was "playing around" I got a new pic (I should probably stop posting pics until I get done texturing lol)

Nice details :tup: but uhm why is there a teapot stuck to her? or does she just have Xan's bun in the oven

Nice details :tup: but uhm why is there a teapot stuck to her? or does she just have Xan's bun in the oven

Probably going to try some animations for the "speed/attack combo(s)" and maybe use the teapot or a miniture pink stuffed xan in the idle if my copy of 3ds max ever gets here

Its been a week since my student order was approved and they still havn't cashed on the transaction.

 

[Continuum]

Finally got max 8 yesterday. Ive done a few things to the texture about the only thing left on that will be the feet and adding screws ect wherever I feel like it. I created a new skeleton for her but haven't added wings to it (going to try tommorrow). Its amazing how easy it was compared to milkshape

Also been working on the speed ability mostly trying to figure out how to make a decent xemitter, probably going to look pretty similar to the regular speed but with different colors if nothing comes to me though.

I'm not a fan of the Xan Robots but that looks really nice. Great stuff's Continuum

 

[Maxx]

You truly make nice themes out of your nice skins

 

[Venuswarrior1221]

Beautiful!! I believe that if you can pull the emitter and the skeleton off right, you rightly earn the title of Skinning God and you know what I mean. Klasnic, Slaughter, do you agree?

 

[Continuum]

Thanks

I think I remade the rig about 8 times tonight before I got the wings to work right.. now all I have to do is get the envelopes corrected and I can start on the 80+ anims

I knew there were a lot of anims but I would have never guessed that high.

oh well better get back to work on it..

 

[Venuswarrior1221]

Any updates? I hope this WIP is not dead.

 

[Continuum]

It's not dead but getting the skeleton to work right is proving difficult so Ive been trying all sorts of things in max just to get familiar with it before I move on to making all those anims . I guess it could be a while but I'll finish this one sometime.

This is nice, reminds me of a mix between StarTrek and the SH-Bottest map of the UT-mod Scavenger Hunt, man I loved that map. oops, if that was too far OT

Looking forward to your release!
