Yet another droid. [Playermodel]

[Samual]

Very nice! BUT, the fireball gun must be fatter It shoots a big fireball, so. Anyway, great job.

and whenever I'm not firing, this specific model is holding his weapon down. I haven't seen any other models do this before. Is this intentional or what?

No, is not intentional, I've seen it too, but I can't explain why the model carries the weapon in this way. The funny thing is that I used the same skeleton (founded in pyria .blend file, a huge thanks who did it ) for another model and that model works perfect! Tomorrow (now in italy is 4.00 am and I'm a little tired )I' ll try to repare theese animations!Thx for the hint MC SE7EN!!

VERY nice to see you have gotten it exported already! By the way, there's a handy tool in Blender which highlights these "holes" that the exporter won't like, select -> non-manifold in edit mode (or ctrl+alt+shift+M, blender key shortcuts rock)

[toneddu2000]

NOOO!I didn't know it!!This is the typical example there's always something to learn!Thanks FruitieX for this precious hint!Infact yesterday I googled for this but I didn't find nothing!Well now I know!

[FruitieX]

Yeah, took some time for me to find it as well
Really useful though, as it's hard to NOT make this kind of mistakes...

[Bommel]

Ah, that's what I call a good morning
Great work!

I found some smaller issues:
-The droid does not touch the floor. (look here - thx lost!)
- He looks somehow a bit small compared to other models.
- The Taunt animation is urr.... funny (He does NOT have boobs! - well, not really important)
- He's holding the right arm a bit strange in the 'run' and the 'idle' pose.
- ...and the strange weapon behaviour MC SE7EN already mentioned.


And thanks for fixing my topology. (Ha! I knew Select-> Non manifold before! )
I will do the beauty render now and some fixes in the texture.
I think afterwards it can be released...

Don't succeed in exporting myself at the moment though...

@ Samual: Going to be fatter next time. Can take some time though. I'm pretty stressed out right now


Greetings!

- The Taunt animation is urr.... funny (He does NOT have boobs! - well, not really important)

Heh, a side effect of using a female skeleton for animation. I haven't noticed it, but I'll watch for it now.

[Yoda almighty]

bommel, is that supposed to be a "fireball gun" or a "flamethrower" cause as it is, it's perfect for a flame thrower.

-The droid does not touch the floor. (look here - thx lost!)

Yeah, the screenshot is without shadows so is difficult to calculate how much the model is "floating" over the floor.There's in Nexuiz a command for look in front of the model, or to use the same model on all the bots?This is important so I can adjust feet height.

- He looks somehow a bit small compared to other models.

I don't know, I used Pyria skeleton in standard dimensions, but don't forget that the blend file had that annoying scale bug that I told you yesterday and maybe this is the problem. Don't worry, I'll scale a bit in the zymscript file.

- The Taunt animation is urr.... funny (He does NOT have boobs! well, not really important)

Yes, MC SE7EN is right! Using Pyria animations causes this "femalish" behaviours, well today I'll try to "masculinizing" it !:D

He's holding the right arm a bit strange in the 'run' and the 'idle' pose.

yes, as told to MC SE7EN, I don't know why previous model I used with pyria skeleton works flawless and this model doesn't. I'll check back.

- ...and the strange weapon behaviour MC SE7EN already mentioned.

Yes I'll try to fix this issue too.
A question: if I write a tutorial for creating models in blender plus a .blend neutral skeleton + all standard animations, would be useful for you guys? Lets's make a real-time poll!:D
Let me know your opinions!

[MC SE7EN]

Just a question: why not use the Marine skeleton for male characters?
