*whistle* Those are nice! Especially the Dr. Proton one. I like this design more than the Spidermech one from The Doctor Who Cloned Me.
I intend to also have his old hover-chair in there, too. I wasn't a big fan of Proton's design in DWCM either. It felt way too...Overt for Proton. Proton should be subtler in design. It's brain vs brawn. Duke is the tough guy with the OTT vibe. Proton should feel like Hannibal Lector with a bit of machinery keeping him alive.
Tonight
Bombshell. My way. Unlike Duke who is a gun-for-hire circa Graves, Bombshell is an official member of the EDF. She's in an elite group (Along with a handful of others that we probably won't get into in the movie, but needless to say she doesn't think much of Duke's bullshit antics.) The mesh is based on Sonya from MK9, and a Laracroft model that I chopped up.
On the larger portrait you can see Sonya's dog tags floating in mid air because of the way I ripped it from XNAlara. I need to go in and tweak that again before rigging. (I might even just take it off completely.)
EDF soldiers. He's lacking all the emblems and stuff to make him truly EDF (needs the banner on the arms. The same thing will be done to Graves, too.). Cool thing is they'll have a few variants so they're not just clones. I'll have various races, and some won't have the helmet. I want to make the camera on the side of the head much closer to Aliens, and i'm probably going to tweak the groin area some more. The EDF guys will make use of an assault rifle that I haven't picked out yet (Though i'm leaning towards what we saw in the E3 2001 trailer, an M4/M203 style combination.) Within the context of the story, and unlike DNF, I want these guys to be very similar to what James Camereon did with the marines in Aliens. They have a lot of gear, and a lot of ego. They don't worship Duke like a bunch of broski's. Though i'm sure some of them have respect and/or admiration for him. Basically they are there to get their asses kicked in a fun and exciting way, and help produce the fodder for Proton's version of "pig cops" (Which will be a really interesting sprite edit to do! Heh!)
The model is a hack job of various counter-strike and "The Hidden" player models.
Here's a quick update for today. I decided to get another cameo character in there. I snagged a model someone made for Sven Coop and started editing it. I still need to tweak the texture and get the colors perfected. The helmet in particular is quite bad. Still, he'll be in a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo... COMMANDER KEEN.
He's actually scaled properly too, so he appears at about four feet tall compared to everyone else.
