No hurry, CB, I've got a lot of stuff to sort through and set up, but thanks man!

DG, ahh!  I found that one at Alex's.  That's what I was thinking of!  It's the Bouncingboy_t I was looking for. 

I thought I had Tommy's Legion mod, but I apparently lost it at some point.  I've redownloaded it, and now I've got that to sort through too.

DG has sent me some great stuff (thanks man!), and I've got more bases covered.  I've got something that I like reasonably well for Star Boy, but I feel like there is yet more out there which I remember seeing.  I've got a Cosmic Boy that I'm pretty happy with too, but I also remember seeing other Purple versions of him somewhere.

Also, I've added Shrinking Violet to the list.  Has anyone done this version of her or something similar?: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/3a/Violet_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060108160803
Or this one?: https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/8842/454808-slsh232_a.jpg

Ace*Frankly did a green Violet skin.  I've also got a Projectra skin by him as well.  I'm not sure where all of his things are now, but I can send them to you if you haven't already gotten it from one of those content hoarders.

I've got what I consider a good Star Boy skin from the skindex.  Not sure if DarkJared did it or not.

I was never partial to Element Lad's pink outfit.  Ace did the blue & green one, if you're interested.

Any thoughts of having Ferro Lad, ME Lad, Tyroc, and Chemical King in there somewhere?  Universo, Pulsar Stargrave, Time Trapper (not positive someone's done a skin/mesh for him)?

Howdy PG!  Yeah, send all of those my way, if you will.  I want to check them out.  :)

Absolutely!  I've already got Ferro Lad, ME Lad, Tyroc, and Chemical King on deck.  I've copied HFs from both John Jr's mod and Tommy's, and I'm comparing, expanding, and modifying them to fit the DCUG.  I've got pretty much all the classic Legion and their foes drawn from those mods.  I've only posted about the ones that I wanted more options on. ;)  I've got the Time Trapper too (Tommy really did amazing stuff for the Legion!), but I have to do a little research on the other two to make sure they'll fit in.  They're definitely possibilities, but I'm not crazy about what I've got for Universo.

A bit of quick research, and yes, I will definitely include Pulsar Stargrave, and Tommy has a nice mesh/skin for him, so he's set.

Okay, I've remembered something.  Once upon a time, I had the VX_cosmic boy mesh, and it had a skin with a purple version of his costume.  I've got the mesh but not that skin.  Anyone know where that might be?

Also, this afternoon/evening I'll be working on Legion characters.  If anyone wants to add ideas or help with suggestions, you can find me on the FR Discord.

Heh the Legion, over the past year I've really grown interested in them and was intrigued by the idea of skinning some, but sadly not enough to get out of my hiatus.
Good luck Benton.

Haha, Pod, you jerk!  Just show up, tease me with the possibility of Legion skins by Podmark, only to snatch that hope away!  :lol:  Ha!  I got really excited when I started reading your post, and really disappointed when I finished it.  :P  Seriously man, I hope that some of my antics with the DCUG might rekindle some of the skinning fire for you.  If you ever decide you want to do something, let me know, because I'd love to have more of your work in the mod!  I'm glad you're checking in, though!

There are several that I'd love to see you do...just saying.  ;) 




Alright, at this point things are looking pretty good.  I've got some solid options with Star Boy.  John Jr. has agreed to tweak his Cosmic Boy skin to fit Tommy's mesh.  I've got some solid options for Element Lad.  I found a really nice option for Princess Projectra (though her classic costume is just plain ridiculous, isn't it?).  PG sent me some options as well, including a nice Shrinking Violet.  The only catch is putting that skin on a mesh compatible with tiny female keys or finding the original female_tiny mesh she is supposed to go on.

That just leaves Phantom Girl for the moment.  There are nice versions of her other costumes, but I just don't care for those looks.  I'm hoping someone has made that other version somewhere.

Yeah I know I'm a jerk  :P
Just hearing you go into the Legion I just really wanted to say how interested I've been in them. They're a section of comics I wasn't much attention to until somewhat recently.

 :lol:

Well, I hope you'll feel welcome to help me out with my builds for them, even if you aren't interested in skinning them.  I'll be posting some HFs and looking for some ideas and feedback in the HF section soon.  :)

What mesh did that Shrinking Violet skin go on? You do remember I hoard content and haunt The Wayback Machine?

I don't think anyone has made that version of Phantom Girl, yet. If I can get it done without Photoshop crashing too much, I'll try it.

BentonGrey

Well, the readme said Female_longhair, but the skin was female_tiny, so presumably that?

That was me, not paying attention to what I sent.  It was indeed made for longhair, and I changed the texture name for the tiny mesh.  But now you have the mesh, too, so problem solved.

I've never really found a Phantom Girl skin I was completely happy with.  I'm partial to her bell-bottom costume; Greycount made a skin of it for the heroine with tail2 mesh, but the keyframes don't feel right for her (like the idle grooming anim).

I don't have one called Female Tiny, but maybe it is Female Insect Alpha Tiny? I tried to make a Female Crymsin Shrink-Grow, but the pelvis did... weird things.

(looks at Greycount's section on Alex's site):  looks like he made another bell-bottom skin, looks like for Tommy's mesh.  Now I'll need to get those, too.  Oh, look, a dedicated Pulsar Stargrave mesh.....squirrel!

Edit:  now that I look closer at the female_tiny folder, it has no documentation or standard skin, and the nif & keyframes are the same size as for female_tiny_alpha.  That was probably split out by me, since I'm using the random skin method for Wasp, so I needed to take Violet out of that mix.  The alpha mesh was made by Halfscan, for when you need it for permissions & credits.

Thanks PG!  After looking at that mesh, I think I need something with more key options.  Would anyone be willing to put this on Tommy's S_VIolet_Tiny or something similar? 

Or are there any female tiny keys that grow like the Atom's keys?

Also, weirdly, Tommy's TV giant keys aren't working with his Colossal Boy mesh.  I'm stumped by that.

I was trying to do that with Crymsin. You can use the male shrink/grow keyframes with a TFV mesh, but she is more than a little distorted.

BentonGrey

Yeah, I just discovered that my problems were caused by the fact that I was putting TV keys on TFV meshes.  :wacko:

I tried transplanting the Crymsin mesh to Atom Tiny, but she developed heinie spikes...

Some of Ren's Meshes are built a little bit differently, making body transplants slightly unable to take effect at times.

Could be used for a new attack type? Tactical hemorrhoids?

BentonGrey

Thanks for the attempt, DG!  We can probably just put different hair (or maybe the right hair is already there?) on Tommy's mesh, as the skin otherwise fits on that one, or there may be other shrinking/tiny keys that would make the original mesh viable for me. 

Also, SA:  :lol:

Okay, I need some keys with a flying melee-esq anim that are compatible with Gren's warrior woman-type keys that are used in his Black Canary and such.  I need to give Triplicate Girl and Dream Girl flying melee attacks.  Anyone have any ideas?  I've tried a bunch of Gren's keys, but no luck.

So, I'm still looking for those compatible flying attack keys, but here's something else.  Any suggestions for meshes/skopes for Chameleon Boy's forms?  I want to give him three distinct forms to transform into.  I'm thinking, maybe a fast, agile form, a form with some type of ranged attack, and a strong, tough form.  I know there are limits on how much he can replicate a form's powers.  Any ideas?

How about a venasian warbeast, feared across the galaxy but luckily almost extinct, built for strength and destruction.

I wanted something alien and AA's Jedd Jarkus was perfect.
Will probably still tinker around with him.
