i didnt pay attention to who made it. I was scanning through based on what it looked like and got it. But thanks for telling me Hide made it though. Very nice work and the whole black vortex thing is cool too.

Bug Report

Senario: Lastest Chaos UT2 patch, so it may just be the mod.
No death animation - when killed with guns or CUT melee weapons, she had no death animation. She just hung there in mid air...number of limbs varied...
No powers - I have the Taunt Fly and Taunt Special Ablity set right from when I used Abyss and the others, but Vanity will not take flight or use her telefragging power. I had Spec. Stats. on and no other mutators that could effect it, eg. Regen or Quad Jump.

As I said, it may be bad compatability with the mod, but I'll try her in normal UT2004 and see what happens.

EDIT: Just had a thought...CUT2 might have it's own User.ini, I'll try and find it. But that dosen't excuse the lack of death animations...

EDIT2: Can't find it, but I'll still try Vanity on normal UT2004 later (if anyone's reading this now you could have a shot at it)

Her name is originated in "emptiness" rather than "vainglory".
"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity".

Her name is based on her terrible special ability.
She can do teleport without a "trans locater" straightly to an enemy who is caught in the cross-hair.

Umm... At the risk of making myself look foolish, I don't really understand the connection between "Emptiness" and "Vanity", or how either of these words/names relates to the character's teleporting ability. *scratches his head in confusion* Is the quote "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" supposed to be a reference from the bible? A play? A TV commercial? I'm afraid I have never run across this.:(

Confusion aside, this is an absolutely stunning piece of work. The only complaint I have echoes the oddity that NATO_chrisjm mentioned. I couldn't quite put my finger on it for some time, but something about the colors used in this model felt...Wrong. Perhaps it's the stark red colors clashing with the black and white fur, but I think it's primarily that circle of white fur wrapped around the thighs. It's very indistinct. In the Abyss model, it was easy to see where the black leg-fur started, and where the bare flesh ended. The edges of Abyss' fur were also very jagged, and I thought that was an excellent touch.

Visual aid : Abyss' jagged Fur/Flesh line

With Vanity though, it almost seems like the edge of the fur has been blurred, I think partly due to the fact that the white fur and the flesh have similar shades. The ring of white fur also looks out of place because it's so *perfect*. Further down the legs, it's a semi-chaotic splattering of both white and black fur, while on the upper thigh, there is this perfect ring of white fur above the black fur. It's almost as if she's wearing a pair of giant furry socks. :p

That said, this is still an awesome, top-of-the-range model. Kudos to you, Hide. :)

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Hmm...Perhaps I'll go take a gander at your Review section later...

But getting back on topic, Random Elite: I've been using the normal UT2004, and I've had no serious problems with Vanity's death animations or special powers thus far. Sooo, it probably is just a conflict with ChaosUT.
