Lets See What You Skoped!

[The Pwime]

Skoped Tommyboy's excellent M.A.C.H 1-4 meshes onto male_basic_rifle. The result is a squad of hi-tech 'Cape killers' used by governments and private concerns to hunt and eliminate troublesome superhumans, good and evil.
Thanks to Tommyboy for making these meshes and then letting us all play with them like this.

I was going to try to come up with some designs to skin on the 40k meshes as 'cape-killers' of the sort.  perhaps they could be the "heavy units," and these guys are the more agile, light-armoured militia?

I didn't quite come up with any good ideas, though. =/

Thanks bro, coming from you, thats high skoping praise (and thanks for spelling my name right, so many people forget that second 'r' ;) )

My next project is a large anti-superhuman military organisation. Similar to the 4th Reich skins i did for Wickerman on the Metal Storm mod, it will be structured with human troops at the bottom, working its way up past light armoured divisions, heavy divisions, vehicle and robotic suited divisions to enhanced human/cyborg troops, elites and generals. All in all i predict it will have around 25-30 skopes, skins and hexes, along with appropriate hero files. I am planning on using some of the 40k meshes, particularly the space marines etc.
First i'll have to complete my last few projects tho.

EDIT:
Gonna alpha out the Ant's antennae and the soldier ant's body. Damn Irrational meshes, they are all joined together, you cant take the bits you want  :angry:

[USAgent]

Hey Carravaggio, didnt know if you knew of a mesh out there already like that one:



The mesh was done by Texas jack and spring heal jack.  The read me files to get it points to a defunct yahoo group, but If you need it I can send it.

[XLR8er]

try fang from teeen titans! :thumbup:

[UnkoMan]

Man, that mesh was great. I lost my copy ages ago, USAgent... That's a subtle hint, but I'll just ask... would you mind sending it my way if I PM you my address?

As for yours, Car... I think it is way cooler with the body, actually. It doesn't move or anything right? If you get rid of The Ant's goggle thingies, then I would totally love that mesh too. Sweet! Ants!

Golden Age Spectre

The 'skope is by me using pieces from Tommyboy's meshes.  The skin is from Courtnall 6 for demonstration purposes, plus, I really cant skin so I made his skin fit the mesh so I'd have something to look at.

[GhostMachine]

Nice skope, Cyber Burn, but you should lose the mask and belt buckle.

[detourne_me]

just an update to Style's skope he previewed a while back...  but this won't be released,  im just a bit impatient for what's to come :D
and yeah those are both Gren's Ronan keys and Beyonders Thor keys on the same mesh.

I just :wub: the version with no helmet and the gaotee!  Nice job on all though, you tease!  ;)  :lol:

What can I say that Style didn't already say with such *um* style?
You did it again Mr. C!

I know exactly what you mean!  Nice Skope, mask, belt and all. 
I think we have a virus on this thread (  ;) )...skoping seems to be catchy!

Oh boy, oh boy! I'm beyond excited to reskin this mesh. Check your pm box too, I have a few suggestions.

[Peerless1]

Well, here goes.  This is a remake of a previous original character skope.  It is not releasable mostly due to the large amount of Gni's Gally/ Taarna meshes used (like, the whole thing).  I relocated the stuff onto the female_teen_basic hex as found in Grenadier's Star Spangled_Kid 2_Updated mesh, as the staff looks much like a scorpion's tail.  Also Tommy's Death Adder for the head fins.  Thanks all!
To get the look right, I recolored the image I took of the mesh (with original skins from Nilus [by Paradox]), Death Adder, and SSK2_Updated.  Cause it looks so much better than my monochrome skins.


Never fear.  I have plans to use some other (releasable meshes) to do something similar for the public.  If I can get it to work.

[Podmark]

Hey guys I just got a reply back from Gni today, asking him about skoping permission. Here's his response:

"Hi,

My meshes are free, You can use them as you want. I have no time to modify
them or create others."

So I'll be adding Gni to the permission list shortly.

[AfghanAnt]

I thought he had already given his permission a while ago? Anyway thanks Pod!

 :o
Well then I just "wasted" two and a half hours sorting through my collection to design a permission friendly Circuit skope.    :blink:
Thanks Pod and Gni, as the new one just didn't look quite right to me.  I had always imagined...well...thanks.  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

At least it made me think, or at least think that I was thinking.  Hard to say when I am *yawn...clunk-clickity-click-clack* <--sound of P1's face hitting the keyboard...  :rolleyes:

[Cyber Burn]

Nice skope, Cyber Burn, but you should lose the mask and belt buckle.

The mask just brought out the color, and the buckle was already on the skin so I left it.




The skin is one of FLASH_22798's that I adapted to fit the 'skope.   The 'skope is also his - NOT MINE - I found it on one of the disks he had given me and just finished it up.

A quick Skope just before bed.

the real skoping comes through in the keyframes though.   I've got a mix of Grenadier's, Valandar's, and Renegade's sword fighting keyframes in him. and i'm working on getting in some more of Grenadiers too (theres a great upswing animation from Black Knight)

[Blkcasanova247]

:thumbup:

[Monkeyman]

Detourne, how do u find if keyframes are compatible or not? I tried to put Jik's ninja mesh animations on male_basic but it didn't work. SO is there some secret to how you know?

[detourne_me]

they aren't compatible,  i have ot add all of the right nodes into the mesh i want to use the keyframes on. that means going into each mesh with special keyframes, finding out how they are special, and adding them into the mesh i want to use the keyframes on.  then its just a matter of combining the keyframes files.

[Cyber Burn]

i have ot add all of the right nodes into the mesh i want to use the keyframes on.

Not sure if this is covered anywhere else, but how exaclty do you do that, combining keyframes is something I would like to learn.

[detourne_me]

ummn... its about as easily explained as what i just wrote. i don't think there are any tutorials on the subject yet.

open up the meshes,  go through all the nodes, look for ones that are different,  i.e. cape top, sword, Dummy_right_hand etc.  and just copy and paste the nodes into their respective places on the new mesh,  you don't need to copy the editable mesh pieces,  just the nodes.

right,  think of keyframes as a recipe, and the mesh as the ingredients.
recipes say break two eggs,  you need two eggs.
keyframes say move the cape, the mesh needs the cape node to move it.

EDIT: i think i might put together a tutorial on the subject actually.  I'll probably use Jik's Deadpool mesh as an example since his kf set was one of the easiest to transfer.

Nice Ras!

[herodad1]

HEY STYLE,  do you plan on releasing your thor.he looked awsome.

[Cyber Burn]

I'm having a bit of trouble with a skope, maybe one of you guys can point me in the right direction.   I 'skoped a couplof bolts from Tommyboy's "Thunderer of Quard" mesh onto the head of the "Fire_Elemental" to attempt to make the Thunderbolt Yz from the JSA.   I made sure the right .tga files were added to the standard skin folder, the bolts show up in NifSkope, but not in the CTool.   I haven't started to attempt to skin the character yet either if that's an issue.   I don't know where my mistake is, any suggestions?   Should I post this elsewhere?

[Peerless1]

Shizzle My Nizzle!

That Glitch Girl is supremely good ;)

Waitaminute!  I think this reinstates Glitch Girl as the most revamped (by the community) avatar.  And she just gets better looking every time!  ;)  I need the formula for this one if the skope can't be released (is that an older skin, or a new 1?)...Please?  I really have to stop with the self-imposed exiles...I missed so much in so short a time.  Great work by all the July Skope posters.  Some really inventive use of materials, and spot-on likenesses.

Thanks Style for starting this thread (and for the "Skoping for Dummies" Tutorial .  This peerless dummy needed both!).

DC's Captain Nazi

For once, the 'skope is one that I put together on my own AND the skin is mine (except the base, which of course is courtnall6's).  The only thing that I'm really not happy with is how the cape turned out because it showed through the front.

[Peerless1]

if it does that only during flight animations or some such, that means keyframe combining.  Detoure seems to be the current expert on that.

:cool: skope, though, and nice skin.
