Farrell, The Thief

[Domarius]

It's not "impossible" in 3D, surely? 3D apps are pretty flexible - you could edit the material properties of the cloth so that it was darker, received less light.

[oDDity]

Yes, or I oculd print it out and colour the mask in with a black crayon. THat would look cool.

[Renzatic]

DO IT!

[Fingernail]

Nike.

[Dram]

More input please That does little to help me understand the dilemma.

What I mean is - Did I miss something too?

[Darkness_Falls]

Ahh, I thought you were perturbed at what I said for some reason

[Dram]

Nah I was truly thinking I missed something. lol, we're talking about this 20 days after it ended

[Darkness_Falls]

Sweet! Nothing like bumping a thread up that doesn't need to be bumped up Okay, I'll stop bumping this one up now. Peace out, Dram!

[oDDity]

THis is him pretty much finished now.

I'll have broadband back next week so I'm not going to upload animations or things to CVS until then.

Doesn't he look a lot like the TDS model? But maybe it's just the stance that reminds me of it, because I haven't played TDS since I started work on TDM.

 

The model looks cool though.

[oDDity]

That will be the default idle stance. Skulking. It looks like the TDS model only in the fact he has a dark grey hood, but that's pretty much an essential part of any thief model.

[Springheel]

Holy Christ, that looks damn good!

[New Horizon]

Sweet! Looks a Million and one times better than the TDS model. Great work man.

[Darkness_Falls]

Looks great. Dare I ask... how tall is he?

 

Also, did you tone down the boots some? They seem better now. If so, good job. If not, it must be the angle... ? i seem to remember them being quite large before.

[SneaksieDave]

I just had a warm fuzzy: whatever all happens in the video (dunno, haven't seen it!), at the end, right before a quick cut to black and dramatic title shot, the camera quickly, closely (not too close) pans up that frikken player model standing up high on some perch with the sky behind him.

 

People will be like,

"Dude, that's in-game!"

"No it's not, you twat; it's obviously pre rendered."

"Guess you haven't seen oDDity's models??"

"Fuck off, that's not possible. It's a CUTSCENE, MORON."

"I'm telling you, that's an IN GAME SHOT. And your mother is a..."

 

and then it'll erupt into a publicity war of epic proportions. It should be juuuust brief and obscured enough that it's a teaser, and people will think, "wait a second..."

That looks amazing odd, but my one critique is: How is that Bow attached to him? Usually when you transport a bow on your back, it's compressed into a single stick-like thing, or slung over the shoulder via the bowstring.

[Darkness_Falls]

People will be like, etc.

They'll also be like: "Oh no, they're dong 3rd person POV? Greeeattt... "

[SneaksieDave]

Fuck 'em.

 

I mean pan up the front, a cinematic teaser approach to the anti-hero, not gameplay.

 

Bah nevermind.

It's nestled in between his back and the quiver, which comes diagonally across his back. It should be lower down than that, but it has more visual impact the way it is now.

Now that you mention it, it does look strange for it to be that high up. You can see that the middle part of it isn't attached to anything; the center of mass is definitely above the attachment point, and to me that looks really awkward like it would be flopping around all the time rather than staying more or less in place. Personally I can sacrifice some visual impact for a more believable look of having it attached further down.

 

@Dave: I think something showing the playermodel would be cool if possible. We could set it up very quickly by just posing the playermodel the way we want and plopping him ingame as a separate object like Odd has done with other models, then we could just go into noclip mode and fly up to him, no need to take time to do a real cinematic even.

If it's ingame, and I can get the footage out before the film reaches the 'final' cut. I'll definately try to put something in there.
