New Samus Thread

[Goldfenix]

ah heht yeah she is shiny in UT 2004 more than what I wanted atleast. And nah her eyes dont randomly move around, its supposed to be like if shes looking around at whats going on to make sure she doesnt die while shes talking. She does look over at it though and knods a few times like if she is agreeing.

 

[Testrun]

Nice, the animations sounds just about right.

What suit colors does she have??

 

[Goldfenix]

red, blue, light blue (normal suit), black (with red glows), black (blue glows), green, and gold

 

[Testrun]

LOL, kinda surprised she doesn't have a white-colored suit.

Meh, those colors are good. Here's hoping a beta would soon come out!

 

[Goldfenix]

ha why a white colored. Actually never thought of thought for some reason. Think I did one a long time ago along with every other freakin color known to the human eye but i dunno if i made a white one

 

[Testrun]

Dunno man...usually when people make a blak skin there's usually a white skin included, but maybe that's just me noticing things haha

 

[Garcian]

Speaking of skins, I could make some nostalgic ones based on earlier Zero Suit Samuses from the earlier games: Metroi NES, Super Metroid, Metriod Fusion...

Just an idea

 

[Goldfenix]

ah yeah that would be cool

 

[Garcian]

Yeah it can't be to hard, but I don't think Metroid1 Zero Suit Samus should have pink skin like in the game.

 

[Goldfenix]

heht i dunno but if you want to make any skins custom for her you have my permission. Once shes realeased, jeez ha

 

[Testrun]

Oooh ooh can I make a white skin?

Of course, since I have limited info on making skins, it'll prolly won't be a DXT5 format, but I'll make it shiny

 

[daloonie]

DXT5 is a compression format for the DDS file format. I suggest you use DXT3, is it? Or DXT1 with an Alpha. Usually scales down pretty good to avoid large filesizes.

If you are going to make a white skin I suggest making it for UT3 as it doesn't "overlighten" with lighting ingame. UEngine 2.X tends to do that in my experience.

 

[Testrun]

^yah, I tried to make a white skin for an existing model(little eris) and she looked 'too shiny'.

 

[Goldfenix]

yeah thats because when using a spec map the whitest areas give a true shine or display and the blacks represent no specular shine. Just have to work with the brightness of the white areas on your diffuse and especially the spec map but yup

 

[Testrun]

Yeah, although white is a nice color, it;s somewhat hard to make it shiny cause of that.

Usually I just make a light gray color and make it shine, making it look white

BTW, how's the model going?

 

[{BL}Lavama]

Wow!

You're really good, Goldfenix!

I can't wait until it's finished. I'm currently looking for any previous downloads to keep me occupied in killing things in 2K4.

 

[Testrun]

Any chance for an update Goldfenix?

 

[Goldfenix]

im here i just dont hang around much. god i want this project to be finished though

You're doing great work. Not too many people making models these days, and your efforts are appreciated.

I've learned recently to: "don't sweat what you have no control over". So deal with life and Samus at your own pace, and to occasionally schedule yourself a day to do nothing. Planned procrastination relieves loads of stress.

Take care.

Lei Hng Wei has a point Golden Fenix. Take the time. I bet that it'll be the best Model out there! Not just because it's Samus either!
