Player Model ideas

[C.Brutail]

Hey, what about a plain skeleton?
... or something in a cloak, being completely hidden, only 2 glowing eye sockets under a big dark hood and the gun sticking out of the opening of wide probably hollow sleeves. Muahaha! That would be so cool and scary, I bet you all want to play that.

The skeleton idea was in Quake3... It was very odd... ok ok, a walking skeleton, but where do the gibs come from?!

About the other stuff... could be a custom player model, but not in stock nexuiz imho (they just don't fit).

What I'd like to see a grunt, similar to quake2 soldiers. Morpehd tried to port the original quake2 models, but the UV map went wrong

You got a point there... but wait, a level 20 wizard could teleport behind it when it dies and magic the gibs out of thin air

This is NOT Dungeons and Dragons!! No level 20 wizard for you!

I like the insect idea, but the skeleton just wouldn't fit the Nexuiz style at all.
No matter how much Industrial armor you put on it, it just wouldn't work. As for the blob, I'm not sure how it could possibly hold the gun! wouldn't it just go right through its hands?
Anyhow I think I might whip up some concept art for some of my ideas (truthfully I'm a horrible artist). After thinking about it the "armored otter" idea could work. Maybe a possible skin over the Carni model with an animated tail?
I don't know, it's a work in progress...

the same nex models, but redone in shouen manga style

I thought it would be like Odo from Star Trek while changing or the evil Terminator 2000 during transformation. Or maybe just your friendly neighbourhood slime monster, like that Ghostbusters Slimer but more humanoid, with feet and a head.

alot of the custom maps don't fit either. they are played anyway.

That's true.

Hmmm, interesting... something like that could work !

What about some very pale vampire-like characters? I mean, we got a lycanthrope already.
Something similar to this:

I also like the armor of those guys. Maybe some more armored models? Seems pretty strange for somebody entering the arena with no armor (those alien-guys & the female model)
