Lazysam

here ya go, its really really rough atm, no face, the hands are undefined and there is no shading, not sure if ill do nymore with this unless somebody is willing to make a replacement model out of this, in which case im willing to go all out and provide all the sketches youll need to get the job done.  Oh yeah ill probably post another one once i figure out how hte helmet should look, meanwhile enjoy, fell free to comment (can you find the shotgun ? <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->)

What i can see looks really nice, it would be great to see such a replacement, but please finish the sketch even if you find no modeler, it's very good

Moleculor

He looks a bit fat...

I kinda like the one we have now anyway.

Lazysam

thnx ramses ill c what i can do about finishin it up

molec, yeah hes bulky but, obviously I have a different style from squeal, thast all. And if enoug people like it and, somebody decides to make it into a replacement model, id be both glad and willing to put more work into it.

Or maybe they could eventually implement different marine sizes. Just to mix things up.

Lazysam

well in this you wouldnt need any different mairine sizes as it is just depenedant on the moddeler, because you can just stimply make a bulked up model and it will still fit in the game, simply replaceing the current skinnier one thats all

alius42

What I meant was they could eventually implement more models, for v2. I think this is actually a thought already floating around too.

Kinda remindes me of the fat security guard from Opposing Forces.

Lazysam

he was posed to look bulky not fat, oh well <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

Sry, while bulky, he dosn't look muscular.  Just chunky <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->  Tho it still looks good.

I know different varaties of marines will come along some day, but I doubt different sizes will come along. (or very small differences in sizes). Half-Life can only handle so many hull files (sizes of players), and they \are already maxed out with the aliens various sizes. They can only have like 4 different sizes, including crouching. So, I can see more bukly/skinny models, but not different height because the engine just can't do it.

pielemuis

not to mention all players would go for the smaller, harder to hit, models

Lazysam

inf woudlnt that be negated by htem having the same hit boxes ?

RhoadsToNowhere

I believe that Lazysam's correct in that it won't make a difference if all the hit boxes are the same.  The actual model size doesn't matter.  However, so people will generally go for the smaller or darker models if possible, just so they're harder to see.  I doubt there will be much of a difference, because in general all the marines will probably have the same uniform, maybe only having changes in their skin color, or slightly different body proportions.  Which is cool, just having different options for the sake of differnet options.
