Nice work for so far! Even if it doesn't become an actual Gen player model it will still be a welcome addition to the Q3 player roster alongside the Imp, Arachnotron, Q1 Grunt, etc.

Why take the word of someone who has nothing to do with the mod or this model? I say it becomes a Q3 player model (hell, I even did that in the first post of this thread Slipgate - Smile).

Optimizing is sometimes the same as cutting polies. Polygons that are not visible at any time, polygons that are not nescessary (ie. can be effectively replaced by details on a skin) etc. Considering it's not done, and some detail will be added later, I have to make sure the total polycount keeps well under 1500, to prevent it from being nuts :]

For instance, the detail in the abdominal cover of the armor added about a hundred polygons, while this effect can easily be replaced by a good skin.

Games:  Hard-detailing certain areas seriously restricts what a skinner can do on the mesh.  Hard geometric detail is great for static models that will only ever have one texture (ie, weapons) but with player models there's got to be some flexibility unless you want it to always look the same all the time.

Whoa, all I said was it would be nice to have him a Slippy player.  Never once did I say what was going to happen.  Before anybody thinks of knife throwing, it was a suggestion not fact. I said it because you can tell already that it is going to be a sweet looking model, and all I asked was if there was any chance of seeing jaeger any time soon.  As for the enforcer, it would be nice to have him as a playable Slippy.  I didn't imply one way or another.

That's because you don't double-space all your sentences.  I don't plan on correcting his spacing again either, I just felt like doing it this time.  Admin's privelege.

And on to the next step, which is usually the most painful one, since I generally have to assign every vertex to a controller about twice, while I correct errors.. le riggingue.

I'm with you there, It's oh so tempting to make them dance and put them in... compromising positions once you've done all that hard work...

rofl, hilarious pho

it's early and I tried to read up on the answer to the burning question and I can't seem to see it. so did anyone figure out what to do about the sounds?

I'm sure some soundforge action on the ranger sounds would be suffice  Slipgate - Ninja

The 'burning question', to me was whether or not this in any way can be part of the Gen package. Sounds can be made, but if only a few will be able to hear them, what's the use? :]

I haven't done a player model before for quake 3, so I am wondering, what is a good limit on polygons?
