The Facepunch Mass Effect models W.I.P megathread - Developers

We seriously do lack really mass effect-y maps, though. What happened to your Normandy map? I'm planning on doing noveria after christmas.

Also hammer isn't wanting to compile light-maps, soooo they are fullbright until I can get that fixed...

Can't see shit

It's a bit dark, he's still making lots of neon signs to light the place up.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;26850361]Yep Nope [editline]21st December 2010[/editline] Oh and plasmid, how can you disagree on facts? Have you even tried posing any of his paid private models?[/QUOTE] why are they different in anyway you could do yourself? cause he rigs the capes or jackets to be raggdolled? or cause he includes body groups with animated textures?

Nah, he has very good rigging most of the time. Mostly the shoulders from my experience. As to your coulouring plasmid. Why don't you try to tone down the rust and instead work some better phong, envmaps and noise overlay to make them stand out a tiny bit more. using some kind of noisy detail texture ought to do the trick.

[QUOTE=plasmid;26861404]why are they different in anyway you could do yourself? cause he rigs the capes or jackets to be raggdolled? or cause he includes body groups with animated textures?[/QUOTE] He's just a very very good rigger I mean, how can you or me extract the cinematic collector general and make it to a very good model? [editline]22nd December 2010[/editline] wrath, that's Floater who's making the coloring

Oh, I thought he was using that alpha trick instead. if you're making the colouring yourself though, why keep them so uniform? Add more highlights, bits and pieces in other colours here and there. EDIT Meant floater, must be blind tired.

i wat I was saying that you said that plasmid is doing the hover car thingies, when it is in fact Floater. [editline]22nd December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=wraithcat;26862937]As to your coulouring plasmid.[/QUOTE]

Still no matter who does the colouring, I advice to break up the monotony. Make colour details that don't get masked, make small details here and there and reduce the rust at the same time. A little bit offtopic but it would be awesome if this was in fact the premise for ME2+3 [quote=random person] I wonder if anyone roleplayed Shepard actually died at the start of ME2, and the whole game is just his dying delirious dreams. Would explain why Garrus / Tali is suddenly interested in him/her despite not showing any affection in the previous game, why Joker didn't become a pile of quivering, broken flesh when that attack happened, why Shepard is still good looking after that (with only a few scars), why his stats go back to level 1 (nostalgia), and that reaper hybrid at the end (Shepard once watched Neon Genesis Evangelion during a slow day at the Normandy) [/quote]

Is it possible to port the citadel

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;26870566]Is it possible to port the citadel[/QUOTE] In your dreams yes

[QUOTE=Haxxer;26862970]He's just a very very good rigger I mean, how can you or me extract the cinematic collector general and make it to a very good model? [editline]22nd December 2010[/editline] wrath, that's Floater who's making the coloring[/QUOTE] is the cinematic real time? cant you just 3d rip it if its not in the files and rig it once to get rid of the bad posing then rig it again?

[QUOTE=plasmid;26872684]is the cinematic real time? cant you just 3d rip it if its not in the files and rig it once to get rid of the bad posing then rig it again?[/QUOTE] But also doing it good :D

[QUOTE=Haxxer;26872901]But also doing it good :D[/QUOTE] uh well that just takes time, any rigger could do it to be honest, that is of course if you know how and dont just use prerigged models, i've t-posed a lot of dx rips good just takes a bit of patients I dont spend time really on prerigged models like the mass effect ones, but ones I make a skeleton for I do, the blend tool helps make a lot of things look sexy after all XD

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;26870566]Is it possible to port the citadel[/QUOTE] I don't think the Citadel station's exterior was ever done in-engine.

I'm pretty sure in ME1 it might exist in-engine. Most of the cutscenes in ME1 look in-engine to me, so it's probably in there. I'm pretty sure i found textures for it by accident the other day, too.

what in the name of fuck is that

[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;26887182]what in the name of fuck is that[/QUOTE] Like I said, I have no fraking clue... just thought of doing some headhack to see how it would look... If I were to finish it, I [i]would[/i] fix the faceposing... cause right now her jaw doesn't move... at all...

Actually looks kind of interesting, bravin

I could give you my asari VTA's and head if you want

[QUOTE=Haxxer;26904219]I could give you my asari VTA's and head if you want[/QUOTE] Please do! the snippet from the qc would also be helpful :buddy:

All this talk of personal skins makes me want to try to make one. I'll fail miserably though :v:.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;26907123]All this talk of personal skins makes me want to try to make one.

Lol, one of the flexes I added for no reason, the rest of them work as they should.

Kill it it with fire! Kill it with fire! :D How are you fixing the neck|clothes transition by the way. Right now it's pretty visible.

Not too sure, was originally going to use the base of Tali's neck as the transition, but Haxxer cut that piece out... right now the polys just cover the gap Grammarnaziedmyself.
