Request To Original Modelers (& Skinners)

MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
<div class="IPBDescription">Point me to your stuff</div> If you have made some original models for NS (i.e. new model replacements which are not versions of models for other games, modified versions of other people's models, etc.), can you post links to them here? I think they would make a great feature on readyroom.org, and would love to post them. I just want original models here remember, such as replacements for players, aliens, structures, weapons, etc, and not anything directly copied from a movie, other game, other mod, etc.

Thanks for any links you can give me.

    do you mean completely original models, or original models based on a movie?

    Almost everything I've seen in here is from another game, or a movie..the only original models I can think of are Roads piggygorge and Kylie's cute gorge..

    Of course there could be loads more, that's just all I can think off right now..

    I have an original model in the works. Flayra willing, it will be finished today.

    I have two in my "to do" list too - a gecko-type skulk (sticky fingers are moresuited to wall crawling) and someone's suggestion the other day of a jping skulk as a lerk replacement caught my fancy (if I can stomach having to do all the anims).

    oh he meant no conversions <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I was thinking, I can't remember any <u>fully</u> original models, as in completely original concept to date D:

    Well since there are virtually nil pics of the zerg drone I made up 90% of the design past the general shape. Since I suppose that doesn't count I have a completely designed Kharaa replacement pack that I've put on the back burner until I get some more practice in.

    it's a HA reskin, since I don't know how to model... yet.
    but I will learn and make more medieval stuff.
    all original, and not ported, or based on anything.

    monse, contact me, I wanna talk with you.

    oh, btw...

    remember the pic of the 3 ha?s and a skulk in the bathroom?
    I made it, the translation is:
    "hey romme (a friend) how do you open this?"
    "with a welder, war (me)"

    Ahhh, these are nice. Well done!

    Anyone else have anything as well? There's like a bajillion posts in this forum and so far I have one original skin...
  • blue2kblue2k Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4025Members
    what type of model would you like to see (MonsieurEvil)? i mean like i know you want original but models based on which concepts type thing. like ultra high tech marines or ursine base aliens. few ideas might be sweet to get the creative juices flowing. the models are the easy part, its the concept that alludes most modellers.

    Well, blue2k, I just mean original models. There really haven't been (that I can see - hence this post) many models created by people for NS specifically. Basically, the models I see are conversions of other models, or they are taken from other games, movies, real-life, etc. I was hoping for some models (and by that I also mean skins - sorry skinners) that should... hmmm... involve more imagination. Like different looks for a skulk, from your own fertile brains. Or a new fade. Or something. I'm not asking for anything specific, I'm just hoping to see something besides a stream of retreads. As if you were in Squeal Like a Pig's shoes, or BathroomMonkey's, or Beaner, or any of the NS artists.

    Architects, not draftsmen, is basically what I'm saying. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i've got a whole line of original models waiting to be made...

    one problem : lack of skill

    <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    you've got a new mod, a relitavly new community, and brand new team of people that love and follow every word you say... what else do you expect? i mean, we've got really talented HIG poly people liek sheena, really awsome all around people like Daphisto and Mercatorn, and they are being bogged down with everything... and close to everyone else (no effense) are n00bs...

    in time, the amount of original content will grow... along with the average skill level of your community.

    i started modeling a few months ago, and everyone's calling me good......mostly because i know what i know, and that's more than they do...to them i'm "good".... but the Dev's, mercatorn and Daphisto, and don't forget sheena, they are elite... some of the stuff they do makes me wet my pants.... it scares me how good their releases are...

    your going to get alot of conversions since the modelers are new, and converting is easy.... once we as a community develop more skills, we will start creating new models...


    sorry if that was random, but i'm kinda tired....

    He's not cutting down the people who convert or anything-- just letting everyone know that if they're working on anything of their own design, he can offer some promotion for it on rr.org.

    It's a shame that some people may be afraid to try building something from scratch because they don't consider themselves '"elite"' . . . everyone's got to start somewhere, and there is no better teacher than trying, screwing up, and fixing your mistakes.

    Hi. I have been floating around these forum's for awhile but I've only just registered. I have an idea I am working on for a skulk replacement, but I am not very fast. I would like to make an entire pack, but lol, that probably wont happen. My skinning skills are very iffy, if not non-existent. Who is the best model skinner here? PM me if you are interested in skinning my model when I finish it (hell, I need to start it first <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    Ahhh, BM summed it up a lot better than I could. That's the gyst of it - just looking for some more ways to get people interested in NS, while promoting this artistic community's labors. Rock on.

    well, monse, i had atempted to send you an e-mail about a link (that one didn't go through some how)

    and like, 2 weeks later (a few days ago) i think i sent you an e-mail about making a section of rr.org for models... soemthing like my site, but on a well known NS website... something a little more official (and a little less costly than what i'm doing now)

    but whatever... i'm working on an original model... based on concept art drawn specifically for NS....

    I've been missing for a while I know... been playing some games I've had lying around... and I hope to get back to work soon. I honestly haven't done ANY art in a while... but as already said I have at least 1 original model online... and that's piggorge, so here's a link if you want it Monse... hopefully I'll eventually do the REST of the barn pack... I really do regret putting it on the backburners so long... I eventually got a bit frustrated with some details I remember. I like modelling and skinning, but heck if I can even stand setting up bones and animation <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh well here's the link <a href='http://members.rogers.com/roadm/images/piggorg.zip' target='_blank'>PIG GORGE V1</a>

    NOTE: When the farm pack is made and released (who knows when that will be) I will probably change piggorge and pack all the animals together... so there may be an update for this in the future.

    Does this have a deadline? Because I'm working on something which I would like to share with everyone.

    Gasp!
    Why that's the third monacle this week! I simply MUST stop being so horrified!

    I've thought about original stuff, but all these years of gaming have rendered my creative ability to...uh, not being able to come up with a whitty quip.
