Hey peeps,

Just showing off here to the ppl that never visit X-COM Last Hope. With Nod inactive, i'm training to take over the player modelling job Nod has.
I'm still in the weapon business but it get's lame after a while. I just need some variation
The Personal Armor guy was build using the line tool ( most of the times ) in combination with human anatomy. It worked out pretty good to me, but my opinion doesn't say a thing. So I need yours.

Whatcha think about it ? Plz post comments so I can improve it to the max ok. ( Btw, the dude has no head. Still need to build one, multiple heads are planned ).

I will soon update the pic with the newer one, it has shorter boots and smaller wrists.

I updated my model. It was looking fat and he's thinner now. Also corrected a error on the torso. To me it looks he's in the final tweak stage. I think i'll be building the head tomorrow.
To bad I can't post it here, I can't upload one
Oh well, I think I can grab a ftp somewhere. :bomber:

I am of the opinion that the shoulder pads are a little too large. Perhaps making them a little smaller and make them look as though they overlap on the shoulder rather than as a solid blocks hovering on top of the arms would help? No, that didn't sound quite right. Wish we could attach pictures myself.

Also the girdle looks a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The mid section is okay, it's just the sides. The angle that they're at looks a bit steep to me.

It looks like the legs are too short. But while this may be true for a person, armour has to be slightly more bulbous, and may not be the same proportion.

I agree with the shoulder pad thing. It doesn't actually look like it's protecting the shoulders.

OK thnx for yer replys all.
Yeah I agree, they look big. I'll make them smaller.
Oh, and they are not solid blocks, you see they do over lap the shoulder, I just need to make more depth in it.
The shoulders clip through the shoulder caps so it looks like they're overlapping.
I already maked them more smaller, i'll just add more depth to the shoulder caps and then i'll post a update.

thats pretty good....

I like it. Do you know where I can find one of a Chryssalid and a Flying suit?

A chryssalid in a flying suit? Now there's a disturbing thought. It gets even worse if it figures out how to use the levitation buttons! [1]

*Shudders*

[1] I have this weird idea that the buckle of the jetpack contains the buttons to operate the flying suit. Up and down, and the wide button being the on/off switch. Don't know why, but that's the impression I get.

Don't even metion that!!!

Lol, wouldn't that be a bit clumsy ? Maybe it's controlled by the soldiers Psi Implant, just a guess.
Btw, I totally reformed the soldiers back and reduced the size of the shoulder pads. There was more but I forgot
I'll post a pic soon, gotta go zzz now.

To NKF:

Chryssalid by Nod: http://www.xcomhlmod.8m.com/Chryssalid.htm
Powersuit by Futant: http://209.51.159.71/dboard/viewtopic.php?t=42 ( Scroll a bit down )

What's with all that XP and hit points and stuff?

Lol, still awake here.
You gain more exp if you make more post. If you post enough you'll level up. A higher level means you can post more.
When you post your TU's decrease ( lucky me, I don't have that problem ). It prevents spamming.
HP controls your activity, so if your not online very much then your health drops.
It's nothing bad, just a activity indicator.

When you level enough, you gain a rank. Like in X-COM this is like Rookie, Squaddie, Sargeant ( I think this is misspelled ), Captain, Commander you know.
That's all you need to know.

Updated Personal Armor:

- Corrected shoulderpad size
- Made his legs longer
- Total back reconstruction ( including ass, spine )
- Decreased polycount

Still need to build a head thoug...

Wow that's a pretty cool system.
