I see you did your own player model, can you please make me one using my sig?

I am not very good at changing the player models just yet.

Thank you, Captain Gwynn

Well, biggest problem I have at the moment is that I am pretty busy - AND that I am not a modeler. You would need someone who is better at Maya 4.5 or 3DSMax than I.

My strengths lie in texturing, painting up skins for existing models. I did up my character model from an existing French soldier model. There's no female existing model at the moment that would work for your sig... You might make one up from a male model, but she wouldn't really have breasts...

Does she have an eyepatch, there? Can't quite tell...

Ya might `re-texture` the one `cleaner-looking` pirate that has the eyepatch, make him look more feminine, if that's your aim. You could do that up with Photoshop, using the .dds plugin and the `tx-dds` converter tool.

Let me know if that's what you wish, and IF IF IF I find half a moment I might fiddle something up for ya, but it's very iffy as I have a lot on my plate right now... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

yes there is an eye patch, but it really does not have to stay. Thank you for answering me so quickly. As I don't do 3d models. But give me photoshop and BANG!!! Graphics all over the place.

I thought of just redoing the Danelle model.

 

[Captain-Gwynn]

But anyone out there that does do 3d models, if you can please help. There is just not a lot of female pirates in the game.

I can give you a bigger image if needed. Thanks...

Captain Gwynn.

I recommend talking with Inez Dias, who built the export tool and would _love_ to have someone test it with a new character!
But we do seem short of character modelers...
{I can't model humans either I'm afraid...}

For the short term, looking at your avatar, I'd say Danielle would work pretty well. You can talk to Inez about maybe using another character's head on Danielle's body.

Maan, it drives me nutzo because I'd like to test Inez's utility however I just don't have the time to learn Maya or 3SMax enough to do the kind of modeling I'd like to play with.

I think, Gwynn, with the lack of character modelers, that the pirate I mentioned would make an okay female if you sweetened up his features a bit - he has long hair and the eyepatch, and his figure is smallish around the waist... `Re-doing` Danielle, well, she's okay but has all those character animation quirks that make her annoying (to me, anyhow). Stretch, yawn, I'm surprised Akella didn't make her fiddle with her hair. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
