never got round to finishing these

[TestingCones]

There is no way of removing the jacket, correct everyone? :\

[spacer]

yeah

[green1152]

why redo noodlez, it already looks as good as any of the reference files out there. There is a Blade 2 whose guns have changed, modeling that would be impressive IMHO

http://www.longmountain.com/movieguns/Blade2

Wouldn't be too hard. I may get to that for fun after I get done UVW mapping something else I am working on.

[kylemf88]

Is there anyway of streching the coat on my punisher skin needs a trench coat. O yeah Im probably going to change the skull type

[kylemf88]

Sorry got a little side tracked the hole reason i posted it is to say if you want to use my skin in any way just say so i'll send a link or somthing.

@ Joonas :

I got ur partile but didn't get enough time to test it. I apologise for that. I'll test it today then.

@ Kylemf88 :

Quite good textures but I aint sure about the models coz I havent yet recieved any of the concept sketches. Keep a little track of this thread and we might need you after we have everything ready for a start.

@ Spacer :

Yeah man Yeah I like you. I like "near-to-pro" work (or am I talking less).U wd also be glad that Aztec(Street Fighter Mod----in case u dont know) is also there in this mod helping us with the characters. Also my best buddy in my graphics class who also specialises in modelling.

@ Green1152 :

Lets see

@ Venom Fang:

Is the arts(any of it) ready? I'm waiting eagerly for it.

[spacer]

just as long as aztec can unwrap models, i'll be fine \o/

[kylemf88]

Yeah i wasn't to fond of the model. It didn't show enoff of the skull and just was to week looking. I am surrently thinking of the models that may look better and am starting to learn how to model for max payne 2. School/friends takes most my time up

well guys... good luck from me man!!

[VenomFang]

Yo!
VenomFang here.
The arts been done for a while, I have a lot of different designs and such, for both Punisher and Blade, and for levels and guns I'd like to see in the Mod.
However, attatched to this post will be what I feel are my strongest designs.
They are faithful to both blade and punisher, with little alterations which I feel would add some flare to our mod, given that the story I've created is used.

I want the mod to be called Blade and Punisher: A Vampires Dream

Dracula has a dream somewhere in the depths of his underground hideaway, a dream so terrible and evil that it floods the world in a cloud of darkness. However, it is only a dream. In this dream, the world is turned entirely into vampires, and only 2 men remain men. Blade, the half vampire, is not affected by this evil. And Punisher, because he is the angel of death and is beyond such things. In this dream, these 2 men are the only ones who can fight their way through hell and beyond to wake Dracula up, end this dream, and fight the final battle. If they fail, the dream becomes a reality.

Anyways, the modifications I've done to Blade's costume are simple tweaks. If you're looking at the picture now, use a zoom tool and I'll give you a little tour. His shades are now super vampire stylin', a design of my own to make him look a little more super-hero like. They are angled in such a way as to almost be like Spider-mans eyes, but more vampiric. I hope you like them, I have other designs if you don't. But I'm a fan. His coat now sports a vampire collar, which buckles into 2 metal chest peices he now wears. The chest peices are shapes like eyes, and youll notice 4 fangs on over his abs, creating the look of a demonic face. I thought this was a nice change of pace for Blade, it almost gives him a symbol, and I think it's neat to have the coat buckled to his chest at the breast.

As for Punisher, Steve Dillions face is perfect, just as Wesley Snipes is perfect for blade, so you'll reckonize the style of his facial features. Infact, I didn't want to change Punisher much because I love the way he looks anyways, so I just made his symbol more vampiric, as if to say "Im punishing vampires now." I also gave him a coat with 2 breats flaps which he will carry stakes under, hopefully our animation team will come up with something clever to intergrate this idea. That's about it for Punisher, simple yet modified enough to service an original story.

Hope you like what you see so far, if you don't, it's only ganna get better. If you doubt my art skills, I'll be posting more of my work right after this post.

[VenomFang]

Here's my fav, VENOM!

[VenomFang]

The ol' canucklehead

[VenomFang]

SPIDERMAN!

[VenomFang]

MORE SPIDERMAN!

[VenomFang]

A Skull!

[VenomFang]

An alien dancing! O the craziness!

[VenomFang]

A flower in a spider-man web! What madness is this??!!
hehehe

[Ghast]

The punisher skull with fang tips is perfect!

Finally saw Blade and, well, loved everything BUT Snipes *LOL* Didn't make a lick of sense, no wonder all the fan fiction sites were always more interested in Deacon Frost.

How about just the Punisher in Blade's (VampireHunterD, Underworld, Buffy, Angel etc) world?

[Smackdown924]

not bad, but I dont really care about your flower-art. Just show us teh concept art for the mod and step aside

looking good so far.

[MrUniq]

yup i think ya got carried away there. just link us to your website if ya wanaa showcase.

[Sheikah]

OT: Hey Venom, I really like your art.. I thpught I was one of the only person's who made fan-art in here hehe.. I mostly draw Manga instead though..

On Topic - Really nice work dude, although Blade looks a little "slim" He's this "huge friggin' guy" in the movies, looks a tad Will Smithy (you know, a small frame =])

[Sayantan]

Great Oh Great Venom---------Ur da maan........LOL
Those sketches are great...though most of em are off-topic......:P . I am right now along with my mate gonna make a model. So better watch the space. I'm not gonna dissapoint you guys.......

[kylemf88]

I think his armor don't look tuff enof. I mean it wasn't that body tight and more almost metal like. Also I wasn't that fond of the demond face on it.

The punisher skull was awsome A great idea.

[Joonas]

I start working on the vampire fumes after a week, I'm now on a holiday.

[Sayantan]

Okay guys here's a screenshot of the W.I.P. of the Punisher head model (just started) by my mate "JPM". What do you think about the face-type? I mean you guys want this "so-called-stuborn" look as made by JPM or the one like Steve Dillion. In case you want JPM's version to be modified, what should he modify?

@ Spacer :

Could you make the Blade model or will I pass it on to someone else?

[spacer]

i cant *make* a blade model, i can texture the blade model but not actually make it

[kylemf88]

Um I know that head model is early but it doesn't look like it going the right way. Well I got some picks from comics check em out.

[Ghast]

reskin Vlad? He's has the most default animations. Maybe build new NPC's? Flower girls, orphans, nuns & firemen?

[tomcap]

hey guys i've already emailed Sayantan but i figure ill talk to everyone else here aswell. I plan on creating and donating music to this game. yes i mean an *origonal score* heehe. the stuff ill be making is basically techno/industrial stuff (like that used in the blade movies!)

so whoever is making levels or thinks they have something i should know, tell me!
let me know what type of music you want! tell me the atmospher you are going for, or if you maybe you want the music to pick up at a certain part, whatever! im fully open to requests

-tc

[Sayantan]

@ Tomcap :

Levels are not yet decided completely. So stay in touch and we will tell you the moment you are needed. Even we will tell you the moment when we'll even start making the level so that we make the level and in the mean time you make the music.

@ About the picture I posted :

By posting the picture I meant that JPM has just started modelling the head. So it's easy for him to dump it rather than dumping it after its done. All I asked is that whether he should proceed with that stubborn-type(as shown by KylEmf88) or do that Steve Dillion type ?

[Ghast]

I think he should start with the remedy eye models for scale and build the head out OR plan on creating models for every character in the mod so they all have that HL (SOF2 etc) big eyed Keen doll proportions?

Sorry if I sound harsh, but the back of the player's butt is more important than their face, how often do you see that?

Changing the player model means changing all the animations, why not reskin the character model with the most default animations already (like Vlad) and add some NPCs, or this TC is going to take years to develop IHMO? How long to complete is anyone's guess?

Its treacherous footing, the pile of stinking corpses - MP1 TCs with Unrealistic goals!

[Kozak]

Changing the player model doesn't mean that you have to remake all animations . Only if you add new bones.

[Ghast]

Changing the player model doesn't mean that you have to remake all animations . Only if you add new bones.

That's totally cool! I assumed because the eyes were so different from Remedy's that all the head animations would be back to scratch?

It was because the Remedy skins seem to have the eyes as the only really consistent aspect I assumed (made an ass of myself again *G*) that changing their modeling was a bad idea? 3dMax Character Studio must be really robust, any potential problems to modeling Max's new head in Maya?

[kylemf88]

Question who is going to have a bigger part when playing Blade or Punisher? Should make it about the same if anything more Blade being it more of his world.



P.S. Hope you found the head pics usefull

[Sayantan]

@ Ghast :

1> Eye-scaling-Factor :
Well yes actually I told JPM to make the model as comfortably as he could. Later I will manipulate ie, retouch it to make it cope with the MP2 skel.
2> Back-part :
He starts modelling with the front(actually everybody does) so he wasn't working on that.
3> Maya 5.0 :
Since I told him to model as comfortably as he can, he chose Maya coz it gives him ultimate pleasure.

@ To others :

I still didn't hear from anyone whether you want that Steve Dillion look or the one that was shown in the comic cover pix by Kylemf88.Plz I need that . I'm confused.

[Higginson]

i think the pictures posted by kylemf88 are the better looking punisher, he looks more stern-faced kind of thing, like he looks like a killer.

[Uisor]

That's comic book quy looks better, IMO.
