I'd say looks good, her proportions look weird, but I guess that's just how the base was designed...
A few tips I'd let you know is that first we haven't figured out model animations yet, so I wouldn't be looking to get it ingame or anything. Second is just a protip, but when you import meshes into the game engine, it takes any polygons that aren't colored #FFFFFF and makes them 'flesh coloured' which means if you want to make her blue then she'd need to be on a blue team. Also the model looks way too high poly, if you can figure out a way to reduce the number of vertexes in the model, try and lower it below 1450, otherwise the game will reject it.
Looks really cool though, I'd love the idea of having the space units in the game, they had some really unique weapons, like the freeze ray.
On that note. I could in theory texture her UV map and then put it over Vikki's texture coordinates. (like copying over Vikki's UV-Map possibly, much in the way the mario skin was made for sarge.) for example. only issue is she would have a ponytail and the armor would be mostly a flat texture on her body, you could even re-use the animations for vikki's pistol for the "freeze-gun" animation and just make her shoot a recolored "blue fire" from scorches flamethrower or something. (at least that's what I'd do)
Well.. I have the studio editor but I don't have the dr2 meshviewer. I followed the links and they seem to be broken, so I'm kinda stumped on that front
As for making it less high-poly that's no prob ^^. I always go from high to low so that I can bake the high poly texture maps onto the lowpoly mesh. So If I wanted to get it into the game I'd be making it much lower poly... 1450 verts or faces or what? I'll see what I can do.
When I used to mod for total war it was as simple as taking the mesh file (which used some weird creative assembly format) and all you had to do was rig the model to the original bone placement of the model you wanted to take it's place, and so long as the rig was an exact match the animations would take. As the skeleton for TW was a universal one applied to most humans..... if only it could be that easy with this game
Yeah and I could totally see the freeze mortar coming back only it's even nastier b/c it applies the glue mine effect when it hits
. Although
if it's even possible to do that XD
Update...might not be such a crazy idea after all
Another update... Vikki actually looks good in blue... she was too hot for sarge to handle
