texture painting time

[zaphod]

basic texture, still deciding how I want to divide up the coloring customization areas. On to rigging!

[Sentura]

the eye sockets look like they could use a bit of smoothening (even for a robot), otherwise a fine piece of work

[zaphod]

set up the color layer stuff this morning and got him all set up in-engine

Love your work Zaphod. His knee joint looks inverted in that position though.

[zaphod]

yea, his lower body is kinda screwed up when he is in the sitting position, I'm starting to think I should have modeled and posed them sitting to start with instead of standing. I am sharing a skeleton with all the characters though so I think it's something I can fix for all characters down the road. Luckily, you can't ever really see the bottom half of the characters when they are in the karts.

Lets see whats on my list for the near future . . .

finish polishing a little playground test map for the multiplayer test LAN this weekend (loop-de-loop!)

adjust new character model to play nice with all the accessories (his eyes stick through everything!)

write down the footage I need from the LAN to do some of the shots I want for the video

investigate rendering a new character poster using robot ( would be neat to do one of every character )

start thinking about putting something placeholder at http://myzerogear.com

start new character? ( skeleton I think! )

Looks very web 2.0'ish (which is a good thing)

You should do an alien not a skeleton :}
