I don't like a few things with this model. The shoulderpads are hollow and don't seem right. They are just paper thin and a thicker edge would remedy this. Also, at the point where the thigh joins the hip, the point is too exaggerated and should either be smoothed out or shortened. Better yet, you could fold this edge into the hip to create a solid face.
And of course, the skin is bad, but you can't skin, so I won't blame you for that. I'll blame coil just because I can. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Crouching Hamster: Do you mind reskinning the Marine model so it has green instead of the black color pattern? It would go with the NS models alot better.
Souris: I use standard anims, he proposed that he was going to overwrite (at least it sounded like that) the standard anims, which would leave me in a hole. Anyways, he's not, so it's cool.

Dunno why, but it appears to happen to every model.
Heh... A funny thing happened on the way to my website... All of a sudden my NS marine reskin Shot to the top of my downloads section in popularity... so I wondered Hmmmm so I checked my site stats and the guilty party was LockNLoad hehe Thanks mate for the PR. love you NS guys. Woot!
I downloaded the model and I will take a stab skinning it. BUt I need some reference stuff from you guys. I also need an idea of what you want. because I could just go apesh** on this model and voila. but I would rather produce a few versions that I know you want. Also on a side note E&C is willing to host you guys.
If you are a community contributor and need a host feel free to upload your creation to our site. you can then use the link externally anywhere you like. I need some good NS peeps hanging about.
So drop me a line guys and tell me what you would like to see on this model with some links to some reference stuff for SC and whatnot and I will do my best to help out here.

I tried to reskin it (I'm not a skinner, just wanted to see what I could do) and saved the sc_marine1.bmp and went to edit it, but I don't see the place for the shoulder pads. How would I edit the skin of those, cause they aren't in there...
I'm in the process of remapping the model and giving it a new skin while I'm at it. The old skin isn't mapped our very well, I did a very sloppy job.
The new skin will use 2 bmps for the main body (top half and bottom) and should be easier to reskin without needing the skinmap bmp. When I'm finished I'll re-release the model with optional smartgun animations. I don't have welder animations because I don't have the new welder model, if you want them then send me a link to where I can download it.
I'm about 75% done with the bottom half of the new skin. I'm planning on making an Alpha squadron and Omega squadron skins since Jamil was kind enough to make such nice emblems. I'm going to take my time on this skin so that it doesn't look like a blind monkey made it this time. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Call me weird but I'd like to see a blue skin, because that's the one you play in the game. I think it might be a splinter faction or something leaded by Jim Raynor, they've got blue suits.

I'm not sure how you're doing the skin, but I think you should make both skins the same color and have differences in them, like decals or something. Cause we're all on the same side, wouldn't want the Sons of Korhal fighting WITH the Confederacy... or something.
And maybe multiple skinpacks for the different sides.
I mean, for now, whatever you are thinking of is fine, but later on I think it'd be cool.
I have no idea what Unleet has in mind. ( This project is nowt to do with me, I should add, I just did a quick respray / touch up of his skin, and I'm certainly no experienced skinner..)
I suspect Unleets skin will be rather nice ..if you look at the bmp's , parts of them are great, they are just, as he said, a bit unfinished..

Or maybe even Kerrigan.. tee hee
And if anyone could get me some refrence shots from the Battle on the Amerigo that would be useful as well, as i cant seem to find my Starcraft CD.
if so, any links?
And maybe multiple skinpacks for the different sides.
