Polycount really isn't a big deal if you take advantage of your LOD settings.

how do I do so ? for the model? or in-game ?

well I'm not cutting down the poly count on this on so you'll need a good vid card

quick knock up of the skin got the eye working ,toned down the chrome a bit
going to try and make him larger tho the weapons look to big next to him

EDIT probably taking a break on this Baby should be here any day now (suppose to be two days ago actually)
so am thinking of throwing together a tutorial for converting models shortly will be pretty basic tho

Looks really good.
What is the final poly count anyway?
How do you think he will look with a santa hat?

Also, what is LOD?

polycount is 5900ish
LOD=level of detail (how detailed a model is at different distances)
an in game setting the higher the setting the farther away it maintains its' detail

HO HO resistance is futile

When you get it into Unreal Ed, you can adjust LOD settings. If you load the the other cylon (I edited the LOD on that one) and adjust the settings to approximately the same it should work well-in game.

And congrats on the baby

I'll give it a look thanks

...and still no baby!!!...yet

those LOD setting work great Jefe thanks
would you be interested in skinning this one ? (since you didi such a great job last time

)

I can work on it and I'm looking forward to using it, but skinning it will take longer than the last one. I probably won't start on it until after the holidays, and I have much less free time at the moment.

Go ahead and send me what you have.

no rush my friend my new son should be home from the hospital today

and Christmas is around the corner

so take your time I'm just happy you said yes

can't seem to master this part of Unrealed ;the nuances of skinning/shaders with it

happy holidays

Hi ya road kill
I run a server and i was thinking of asking one of my admins to make this guy into a monster for invasion. This Battlestar robot is really cool was thinking of putting him on a wave with a bender boss. What a team they would make lol..

Basically i'm asking for permission to do so, since its your skin.
oops... its the BattleStarGalacticaCylons2 skin for ut2k4..

Sorry for posting this in the UT3 skins spot on the forums Duh!!!

you mean my other cylon http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/?section=models&action=show_infos&id=704 ?
I'd be honored was considering making both my cylons monsters for ut3 invasion eventually. but a ut2004 invasion cylon would be cool I'm fine with that , give me a link to your server when/if you get it going would love to see him in action

Thanks Roadkill as soon as we get him done i'll PM a link of my server website to you.Thanks again.

Sounds cool. Please post the mod files here too. I like playing invasion in single player, and if you were to add some cylon voice clips to the monster, it would be even cooler.

happy holidays

I haven't started on it yet, but I will this weekend. I've been polishing up a few of my old WiPs the last few days and finally released this skin pack:

http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/57339 Please note that some of the skins in that pack might be considered too risque for this server.

hope the holidays were good to you Jefe
lack of sleep/time lately (Baby and all) for me but I've got some new tutorials on how to animate in 3DS to I'll be frustrated by that for a while

so no rush

some quick resizes

didn't adjust LOD yet
