I was thinking, ehm, that the robot babes are not that difficult to model, looking at the amount of work already done... they have a very simple animation, and the basic models are already available... since conrad is so fast, there aren't volunteer who would like to finish them off (escapist, chicken...)

Working on one already.
Don't know the number right now.
It's the half one with the terminator face and the cables hanging out of her armpit.
Model is done, uv-map is done. Now the texture.
Hey Conrad, if you aren't too busy at the moment...

[NightFright]

Right now, things are happening so fast, it's hard to keep track of anything! *LOL* I will never find the right time to close additions for HRP release this way...

However, also don't forget about the slime babes... although I think these will also need facial modifications in their md3 files to really improve their looks.

Yay! Gimme, gimme, gimme (I'd like to make metalic stuff and wires for a change)

@NightFright: In my opinion, you'd rather close additions for HRP already; Atomic Edition babes could be next big stuff, let's just stick with Duke Nukem 3D nature flavor first.

Sweet, dude...
I'll send it to you as soon as possible. (Not at home now)

[NightFright]

I will keep entries open till Feb 24. Currently, the stuff that's coming in is too good to be skipped.

Regarding the robotic babes:
The skin could (or even should) have small visible bolts, maybe even seams to make clear this is a robot, not a human babe. Skin color could also be different, maybe paler or with a blue/steel-like touch.

[Conrad Coldwood]

4864 is ready for the close up (both ice+xpack, 2.8Mb)... But no matter what I try, the black haired girl always look like Torry Spelling...

hmmm... Torry spelling...

[chicken]

Conrad, please check your PMs.

[Spiker]

On this day a year ago the geisha statue by Hellbound was released. Now he's plundering the wastelands of AMC.

By the way I have to say that recently added stuff is surprisingly extremly high quality, good work

[alandog]

the geisha need serious improvement, could be interesting to have her remodeled... but it's better to concentrate on new material... for example the pirate babes, which animation are simple and quite repetitive...

[chicken]

This is the last submission from me for now.
It's 4516.
The skin will be made by Conrad Coldwood

[NightFright]

Cool. I always thought FEM10 should resemble the "Sister Act III" babes (as seen on highres tile #964).

BTW Conrad: Where did you get the ice texture for the frozen skins? It isn't included in HRP pack.

Home made: you just take ice, break it in a towel, scan it -- you take a cristal rock, scan it -- play with PS layer proprieties and modify hue/saturation...

That is not a girl....that is a man. (hence no top and a bare chest like the other male standing up)

I think the theme is that hot babes kill and enslave hot men.

DONE.
except, I'm not sure if these DEFS are correct.
('just taking a break at work)
pls. test and do corrections if necessary.

[NightFright]

Correction:

// Frozen FEM10 (4864)
model "highres/sprites/ice/4864_fem10_ice.md3" {
   scale 2.76 shade 3 flags 1
   skin { surface 0 file "highres/sprites/ice/4864_fem10a_ice.png" }
   skin { surface 1 file "highres/sprites/ice/4864_fem10b_ice.png" }
   frame { pal 1 frame "frame1" tile 4864 }
}

Note that I kept scale 2.76, and tile no. is 4864.

[Mr.Fibbles]

While you guys are doing these babes (*snicker*) Anyone want to give 4423 and 4424 a run. This would be the Maiden (yeah right) on the front of the boat. Only half a woman and a long wooden pole....
I would get to it but I have not been keeping up with the models and I am not sure what base is around right now (nor do I feel like making my own woman).


Also, for NightFright: wasn't the impaled woman done at some point? I know I had seen it before but because it was never used in game it got dropped....

[NightFright]

It was one of the models that got lost due to a HDD crash. Not recoverable.

[Mr.Fibbles]

Oh well, it will have to be made eventually...of course, models in game have the priority.

Damn, i didn't look where it appears ingame.
I thought: long hair and "boobs" - woman.

[Mr.Fibbles]

it can be misleading....

[Tea Monster]

"Man boobs"

[chicken]

So here is my second attempt: Man boobs,
please tell me what you think.

The png is meant for Conrad Coldwood, i've changed a few things in the chest-area and neck (i wonder why...).
I'm sorry, Conrad, i hope you haven't invested too much time in it yet and i hope i can still count you in.

from my Terminator model..if it would help.

[Conrad Coldwood]

Not a problem...

[marked]

I know nothing of model making but my brother teaches 3D computerised drafting at a college. I asked him if any of his students would make some object models for extra credit or something and he said he had a couple of volunteers. However, the program they use in class,Autodesk Inventor, does not output in md3 format but a bunch of other types. What kind of files are produced with the programs you guys are using and then converting to md3?

[Mr.Fibbles]

without animation you can export to something like obj.

If we are talking animation I am not sure but animations are not easy to alter outside of its native format.

[escapist]

AFAIK, output formats of Autodesk Inventor, are either .ipt .dwf .sat .stp .stl .xgl or .zgl. Maybe your bros. college has access to other software that can convert these to either .3ds, .dxf, .obj, .raw, .ply, .wrl or any of the more common formats.

Be reminded, though, of the game's low poly limits.


EDIT: There's a chance ".stl" is useable, but we'll need to test that first.

[NightFright]

Hmmm... I had #4516 included in my characters.map where all babes are for checkup.

Looking at it right now, there are 3 (or 4) babes left to do:
- 4510 (robot pirate babe)
- 4512 (two robot pirate babes fighting)
- 4514 (robot pirate babe with pistols)
- 4516 (if it is a babe)

Personally, I wouldn't care if you did #4516 female style. I must say I took it for a woman, too. Even if the fact that its breasts are naked would speak against it since 3DR very rarely included such "explicit contents" (exception: E3L1 Chinese statues). Judging from the face, I would still say it's a female torso with only partially articulated breasts.

Not many left... But do you want to postpone the release until they're done?
If so i would start working on another one.

As far as 4516 is concerned, i think Mr.Fibbles is right. It fits the theme of the map better (boys against girls ). Also Conrad is probably working on the male version already.
And the "explicit content"-point also speaks for male.

However, i have them both available as Blenderfiles. Exporting them to md3 would be a matter of minutes. You decide.

[Piterplus]

4516:
Regular HRP - male,
xxx_pack, xxx_lite - female?

[NightFright]

Only if the model were replaced as well. And then, no def corrections should be required, so at least size would have to be 100% identical.

[chicken]

Both derive from the same Blenderfile. Framenames, fps, whatever defvalues are the same. Models and textures could be named identically, so all in all: no prob.
It's a good idea, Piterplus!
It just depends whether Conrad would do TWO skins.

[NightFright]

I will keep both versions of the model for now. Let's see what comes up.

[chicken]

I will post the latest version of the female one when i get home.
I have made a few alterations in the meantime.

[NightFright]

Yeah, more boobies please! *drool*

[alandog]

pss, nightfright, keep saying that you will postpone the release until the babes are done, so chicken will finish them... but keep the secret, ok?

[NightFright]

What kinda secret is this when everyone can read it over here! *LOL*

[alandog]

oh my... did I leave the microphone open?

jokes apart, think that 4516 is a babe... the fact that she don't have nipples is because she is a robot...

[NightFright]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. When she is looking straight at player, it's pretty obvious IMHO that it is a female face, not a male one. Besides, the sprite is not placed near the slave auction but the pirate ship where only babes can be found.

It's really hard to decide, though. Maybe we should ask Joe!

[chicken]

4516 female - with gigantic boobs
