Prawn is a bit big for the airboat seat.

^Amazing. someone make a bigger airboat! As for the gun holding it looks excellent. the crouching looks a bit odd

Well, given that the prawn IS taller than a human, that actually does seem to scale.

What's with the gungrip :/

Cerebrate is proof that I was right every time I told people that player models don't need to use the Valve biped skeleton.

[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;18038858]Cerebrate is proof that I was right every time I told people that player models don't need to use the Valve biped skeleton.[/QUOTE] All you need are the right ACTs and it should work out fine. Replacements don't work because of hitboxes and consistency stuff, which is usually why people use Valve biped skeleton for player models and such. Applies to all scripted models (NPCs, etc.).

[QUOTE=yellowlake;18038882]All you need are the right ACTs and it should work out fine.[/QUOTE] That's exactly what I would tell people, but still got the response of "no, you're wrong, can't be done".

Gawd I can't wait for a proper texture now.

That is absolutly amazing! How long 'till this is released? I can't wait to play as a prawn!

[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;18038899]That's exactly what I would tell people, but still got the response of "no, you're wrong, can't be done".[/QUOTE] Ofcourse it can be done it just takes along time and someone with the skill to do it ^^ (who are few and far between)

ok here is some useful original concept art of district 9, useful to see some details rather than screencaptures from the movie. example: [url]http://www.wetanz.com/assets/Uploads/877Newalien3col3bfinGB.jpg[/url] link from: [url]http://www.wetanz.com/district9/[/url] gallery [url]http://www.screenweek.it/film/17124-District-9/galleria[/url] you also want to search these names if you did not: David Meng designed and sculpted the Prawns (the derogatory term used for the stranded aliens in the film). Greg Broadmore designed the alien technology, the vehicles and the weapons. The rambunctious exo suit was conceived and designed by Greg and modelled by Weta Digital. Leri Greer was in charge of the graphical language and the items that brought the final believability to the movie.

just saw someone here taking the screencapture of the exosuit from the movies, so i wanted to help finding more material, then stumbled upon all the concept material on these sites so then it helps much more to people designing all other stuff also. its a nice project, and i see some lovely models :D

[QUOTE=Skyward;18117938]Something tell me you want to see an exosuit? :P[/QUOTE] Who doesn't especially if you can ride in one or if it is a NPC

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU When do we get the guns? Also, when do we get the truly epic map of the slums?

[QUOTE=Nightmare_42;18169931]FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU When do we get the guns? Also, when do we get the truly epic map of the slums?[/QUOTE] I noticed this too. The models are done, why not release them now and the sweps later? At least all us posers would be able to have some fun (it's all we would do with the Arc gun if it was a swep as well. We might dick around with it for a few minutes before we went and made some awesome pose) In other news, my explosion effect is hitting delays due to the existence of Borderlands...

How long will you be distracted from working? I really want to see this released! Are there models for the other weapons yet? I would rather have the models now instead of waiting for the sweps. If we could get them all now that would be nice!

looks fantastic..and how did you get the player model to hold the pistol one handed? or is it just different lua than the normal one?

I figured out why the eyes are so odd looking! This is probably late and no, I didn't look back a few pages. The eyelids are too open. Right now, they're in a constant shocked expression. Move the eyelids closer together and the eyes will be more normal. Also, where are the mouth tendrils? Kind of related- The "alien pitbull" looks a LOT like an infection form flood from Halo.

[QUOTE=Silver Spirit;18173574]The anims are custom, so he could make it hold it however he liked ^^[/QUOTE] oh thats cool makes it literally "unique" well a lot more than the hell knight player model posted a few days ago...well that one is still cool but you know what i meen oh and i cant wait for this cause it looks so friickin awesome hmm... might it be possible that if you modify the model you can get a half life 1 inspired vortigaunt oh well im just glad someone made something like this....just an idea... can not wait for prawn *passes out from awesomeness*

Here is an interesting article I read on Cgsociety: [url]http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=5322[/url] It has loads of references (including some new shots of the mothership!) and other interesting things some may want to read about.

Holy shit.

Looks like it has a little city on top, maybe they get some kind of... air bubble when it goes into space.
