Mrel: "hades" Commando

<div class="IPBDescription">OMG! What?! Another AvP2 thread?!?</div> If you're tired of AvP2, I don't care. This isn't a thread for you, so keep your silly, ineffective complaints and flames to yourself if you've got any.

I didn't make this skin. It's one I found for the ape suit [original ReadMe naming all credits included]. What's that? You think the ape suit's ugly? Yeah, so do I. This custom reskin by Quovadis is a tad nicer.

Aw, what the heck; it's a hell of a lot nicer. You don't see this level of quality in the AvP2 custom community every day.

Anyway, in order to help the feeling that there's actually a guy inside there, I put the gloved hands from my "full" colonial marine and took off one of the goggles, so you can just barely see the guy's face in the shadows of his helmet. We'll see if the black and white skins work on this. If they do, there are some interesting implications.

I left the bone assignments pretty much the same as for the original ape suit conversion released with V2.0 of the Smartgun, but I tried to help some of the whack warping on the backpack. It didn't help much, but I tried. I also hid the bloody stumps that appeared at the knees when he walked [and at his throat at all other times], which wasn't really apparent with the original ape suit skin, I guess, but it jumped up like a sore thumb with this one.

This is also an attempt to present an alternative to the orange ape suit that Daphisto currently has displayed as the pilot of the MALICE. Just putting a regular marine doesn't make sense to me, after some reflection, because his left arm and face would be completely unprotected, which isn't the point of wearing heavy armour, as far as my own sensibilities go. If you like this, we may want to put it as the pilot fof the MALICE, and I'll make V_model hands accordingly.

Smartgun and default NS anims included, for your choosing pleasure. It was assigned to the regular NS marine skeleton, so the anims are stock NS marine anims, not HA. However, he doesn't run like a light marine.

Custom W_model also included.

    That's quite cool actually, certainly a lot nicer than the orange one..I think it might look better with both goggles intact though..

    If I get enough requests for that, I'll put it back on, I guess. I was doing it like my "full" colonial marine, with one eye covered by what shows the HUD.

    Add both eyes is the only suggestion I can think of looks good apart from that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah - it looks nifty. I think it's a toss-up between this and Bots' reskin for which is best.

    im not really into the avp stuff thats always around here, but this is really much better than the original orange ape suit thing (errghh!)
    i do suggest that the other eye should be put on though, and maybe skin over his hands with gloves or something? it doesnt look right...but that looks really cool...but not my taste <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The goggles are actually modelled seperately from his face. However, the polygons where his eyes are supposed to be weren't there. Behind them was a black flat surface, which made him look like someone from the X_Files [black oil?]. Two goggles and a little thingy between them, over his nose. I filled in the space where his were and remeshed just his face so his eyes are right.

    I don't know. I think it's nicer with his fingertips bare. Gives him the opportuinty to feel his surroundings better; humidity, temperature, doorknobs [in case there's fire behind, et cetera]... Also gives him a better feel of his guns.

    And this isn't for the light marine. This is for the HA.

    I've been out of the house for a couple days during the time I'm supposed to be sleeping, so I haven't hardly been at the computer at all. I'll look in to putting the other goggle back and changing the skin on his hands a bit when I get a chance. Right now, though, I'm just going to skim the new posts and hit the hay.

    it looks very nice ingame... I mainly downloaded it because I wasn't too fond of my HA marines carrying the smartgun on their shoulder and shooting bullets from their bellybutton, and the first apesuit was fugly... But it does look good.
  • Wolf_KahlerWolf_Kahler Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10252Members
    I updated it. Check the first post in this thread to see the updated pic.

    Added the other goggle, editted the skin on his hands a bit, fixed some more bone assignments and such. The download for the update is the same as the original.

    Jesus christ, why does everyone use the apesuit? does no one have the marine in smartgunner armour, with smartgun anims. (like the colonial marine released, but with extra armour plating and loads of extras, such as a motion tracking unit, smartgunner's eye peice and more. He also has a diff skin on him, looks very cool, and fits in with 'aliens' stuff much better than that lame **** ape suit)

    p.s - gimme a host and you can all see the wonders of this mdl

    You mean <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=16246&hl=hudson' target='_blank'>this</a>? That's my "full" Hudson-style colonial marine, with smartgun anims. A host is provided. If it's down, <a href='http://d12dod.homestead.come/files/mod_marinehigh.zip' target='_blank'>this</a> will work as an alternative. If it doesn't work, wait a couple minutes. It's still reuploading as I type this.

    Big thanks to Desolation for doing the smartgun anims, of course!

    And I don't expect anyone to be using the Hades commando after the MALICE is released. I'm just releasing it as interim and alternative, as I said.

    I personally didn't care for the gloves being open like that so I made this super quick reskin. I just thought that someone else might want it too.

    Ooouuu. That's nice too.
