Man, shots like this only show even more that we need new player models BADLY!

Great textures and lighting there. Having a source of the light would make it more natural though.

I'm doing a lot of doubleposting between here and the screenshots thread but i think here needs a link also:

Progress is slow but not stopped. I have been spending a lot of time experimenting with creating photographic textures and normal maps. Not much actual mapping. Just so that you guys have something to run about in I decided to compile what I got so far. This is pre-alpha and just so I could get some ideas about where this project should be headed.

The map appears in the menu.

wow, looks nice. I'll work on my "reply" soon.

Do you think nexuiz can handle this?

[torus]

I think that its low enough poly. However I really dont think that a (semi)realistic human model is the look that Nexuiz tries to accomplish. Thats much more counter-strike. the texturing is pretty good though, and it looks nice for the # of polys youve got.

Well, personally I think the skin can be made "Nexuiz style" pretty easily by adding glowing stuff... and generic "my first Cyborg" features.

Yeah I know. I started this model before I came up with the idea of using it for nexuiz. I am going to change it significantly for nexuiz. I was going to characterize him a bit more and attach cybernetics to him so he looks like he fits in with the rest of the monsters. Maybe making his vest metal will help too. I dunno, give me advice on how to make him more "nexuiz". [/quote]

You know what would be awsome? A Hugh model. You know, Hugh the Borg. Three of Five.
