Player Model ideas

[C.Brutail]

I love the lizzard and the Light armored women

[Strahlemann]

Nice sketches !
I vote for the headless robot

[Mustelidae]

I made those at work today.

At first I have to say, that I don't like the Lurker(?) character the way it is at the moment. The arms & legs are too thin imo. The head is too small. I want him heavier in general. Like the Lizard Man from Soul Calibur 1.


This one is kind of a nex-styled UT99-Xan-Clone. Gundam-style "wings" at his back.


A female character WITH (light) armor. Maybe a cop. I had Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell in my mind.


In my opinion the walking eye in Quake3 was the most original model ever made. And I had that idea of a headless robot. Why not combine those two? (I know, it looks similar to the robots from StarWars Episode2+3)


And here's a Nali... Strogg... Cyborg... thing...

Yes, his original arms are at the back. He can fight only with his implants. I kinda like this idea.

These are "concept" sketches only. I cannot do these in 3D, cause I'm not into that stuff. But if somebody is inspired to make one... Go ahead.

If those become models Nexuiz will officially have the best models out of any game

That is some pretty sweet concept work

Good work! I like the lizardman - Lurk looks a tad skeletal around the legs and pelvis area. He looks like he'll snap in half from all that heavy armour on him.

The strogg-cyborg-mutant concept seems to fit in with the industrial grungy feel of Nexuiz.

Thanks for your comments. Another thing I noticed was that there have to be more female characters, so I tried to make a counterpart for the male marine, but with this necktie it came out as some kind of guardian.
Nevertheless I think, this one is not hard to get into the game. I saw some screens with an old marine model (?) that looked pretty similar. Dunno, if it was male or female, but maybe somebody could use that one as a prototype.
Anyway just filling up the roster.

I vote against the tie, but I think having a female marine would be nice.

I thougt about a headless robot, too.
Ed 209 came to my mind: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q ... rch+Images
It could be a copyright problem. Anyways I like Ed 209. It's a cool design, but I think it would be hard to make it hold the weapon in a logical way.

[GF]HarryButt, your robot seems to compensate that with his arms. This is really good.

By the way is there a size limit on nexuiz player models?
(I do not mean the poly count, but the actual dimensions in the game, except for level design issues.)

I vote against the tie

I know why. But that's exactly the reason why I wanted some clothe in that place. Just for excitement.
Well, I guess, I should leave it out anyway. It looks kinda displaced.

your robot seems to compensate that with his arms

Yes. I'm trying to keep the chars within the limits. I'm not going to freak out too much on them. Cause I can imagine how much time it takes to build and animate even a "standard" model.
So my characters will always have 2 arms to hold the gun and two legs to run around. The rest is eye-candy.


EDIT:
The first time, I heard the name Nexuiz, I had some kind of connotation with a raven.
imo this one HAS to be in the game. Actually you can use the Carni model as base for this one. (replace head & add vest) So please, somebody - make it. Please please please [...]


I think, that a white version as an alternative skin would be cool also:


Okay. I'm gonna take a break from drawing.
So, please go on brainstorming. Need some fresh models here.

EDIT 2: I saw my little brother making a torso in Blender. Looks pretty simple. I think, I'm gonna try that out and build some of my ideas. But it could take some time, for I have never worked with any kind of 3D prog... Well, practice makes perfect...

Seeing that we've been gaining some modelers in the past few days and that there isn't another thread like this, I thought it would be a nice idea to brainstorm for ideas. I myself have no idea how to model, but I'm trying to learn (thank the lord for wikibooks ). So if you have no idea how to model you can still play a role in the modeling process!
Go ahead and brainstorm already!!!
