I'm still at the relearning phase. Here's what I made so far,
Diamond Lil = Laughing Paradox made a great skin of her so I built a mesh for her.
Flashback = Laughing Paradox made a great skope, but I wanted my own animations, so I ended up building a mesh.
Smart Alec = I thought the character was pretty interesting so I made a new mesh for him. I always wondered if he was so smart why didn't he have a force field, so I made him one. Once again LP skin ideas were raided to fire up my creative juices. Although the skin can use a upgrade after I was done with it.
Yes I'm building up my Omega Flight - I'm working on Wildchild currently using LP's skin base, comics, and Vertexes' male basic with hands and mouth.
Razor Fist = Practicing with Physique, Hands are hexable.
They're available in the abouve link.
Definitly going to have to grab these when I get home. Can't wait.
he also up-graded his classic jack of hearts mesh.new animations and when he flies his energy has a rear directional thrust like his ironman's boot jet fx does.check him out too! :thumbup:
Friggin' awesome!
The Diamond Lil mesh is dynamite. I love the hair and the keyframes.. it's just, wow. I love Flashback and Smart Alec, too. That shield fx looks pretty cool! It reminds me of a red spray of kirby dots.
I'm looking forward to your Wild Child mesh and everything else that you've got down the line.
I'm curious if you've considered making a mesh for Box and Heather Hudson as Vindicator (Mac's costume).
Razorfist is a really pleasant surprise, too. Great stuff.. it certainly seems like you haven't lost your touch from your past meshing skills.
Grenadier is going to single-handedly drag me back into :ffvstr:.
Excellent! So good to see you back in the saddle, Gren, these are awesome!
classic jack! http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes9/files/
Razor Fist now thats Awesome! :blink:
Man, I can't think straight. Too excited seeing you back meshing again. :banghead:
...and an updated Odin here!
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes2/
Good to see you back, Gren! I love the cartwheeling Puck! Great job on the other meshes, too!
Since you're working on the various Flights, I agree with laughing paradox, I would really like to see a mesh of the Classic Box Armor.
Yay! It's nice to see you back, Gren!
Dana
EDIT: OMG!...Gren, I love Puck's main walk anim.
great just awesome :thumbup:
Cool more new Gren meshes. Nice stuff.
Great choice of characters here, Gren. I'm glad to see you back in the game.
GREN!?!?!?!?! Mien gott!!! Good to have you back man!!!
Box .. Hmm.... Here's a preview.

It's not ready, I'm trying to come up with something that will make him different.
So far I'm using a modified male hulking mesh with the face meshed and scaled particles for jets when flying and hovering.
really good looking BOX gren!having jets will be even better!
Box is looking good, Gren! It's wonderful to see some of my favorites (Alpha Flight) in mesh form.
Dana
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050405022758/marveldatabase/images/2/25/Box_I_001.jpg
Looks great so far. Maybe add the shoulders?
Niiiice. Box's helmet looks fantastic.
Very cool to finally see a custom mesh for Box. :thumbup:
The original Box Roch's! Great job with the flight Gren.
Any hints to whom else you may be making? Any more Alpha Flight-related folks (Master of the World, Box IV, Some of the Great Beasts?)?

I just finished him.
I'm waiting for some other meshes to be skinned.
Here's one I finally finished. Last mesh I worked on before my break of a few years.

Good to see you around and kicking hard Gren
Those seem pretty cool. It's great to see you back.
glad to see you back mate
i was going through my old files and found the first skin i ever released was a standard for one of your meshes. seems ages ago
Awesome Paladin!
Is that a new Captain America mesh? Too cool.
I like Paladin a lot. I have a pretty good hero file for him, too.
Brother Gren. No way,! Shut up!
Man, I'm partying like 2004 up in this piece! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Keep that machine rolling. Great to have you back.
Hey Ren,
Nice to hear from you bro.
I know I haven't put up anything new in a week or two, slowing down in my old age, but here's a preview of what's coming.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes15/photos/album/783390420/pic/284600637/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes15/photos/album/783390420/pic/284600637/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc)
He's a minor character but usesa nunchaku. I've been watching too much martial arts movies since starting up dialysis. What can I tell ya it passes the time away.
The meshes that I haven't released should be available soon. I'm getting new skins for them. Laughing Paradox has been doing an excellent job cranking them out. I have a few more meshes coming up and I hope to get a favorite skinner involved hoping he's out of his funk.
While I'm waiting for some skins to get finished, Here's two more meshes.
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes15/files/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes15/files/)
If anyone is willing to reskin shockwave, I'd appreciate it.

I've always liked Connor Hawke. Nice to see a mesh of him.

Any chance we'll seeing more martial arts type meshes? Other weapons?
Great job on the Shockwave mesh. Not real familiar with the character, but the fx turned out really well.
QuoteAny chance we'll seeing more martial arts type meshes? Other weapons?
Working on one now. I want build up a basic set before getting fancy.
hope gren doesnt mind me spreading some cheer on some up-coming meshes.some new pics in his 15th yahoo really got me excited and one of them is available.gren_electro is ready to play with.really good job buddy.in the pics section we've got...mandroids,ironman mk3, and ironman mk5.is this awsome or what! :D
I've cranked out 5 version of iron-man and putting the final animations on the sixth.
I've finished versions, 3,7,10,12,and 14. They all have fx and special animations based on the their versions. My favorite is ver 12 silver centurion it's got your standard fx and a scaling aura which looks like it turns on and off a force field.
The one I'm working on is the warmachine. I'm doing the animations now. It probably won't get released until a later date once I find someone willing to skin him. All in all I got ten projects going at once. I find bouncing from one to the other keeps me from getting bored of one. So that's pretty much it for now. Gotta go, dialysis is waiting.
:) :) :)
It's so nice to have you back. Never leave us again, K? Kthx.
I would love to see a new War Machine mesh. It's great to have you meshing again Gren.

After having a really crappy week, I finally found something to put a smile on my face. I'm glad to see you feeling so positive about meshing. After seeing Iron Man II, it's great to know that there will be some new Armored Characters to battle with.
Wow Gren! You're a busy guy! Ha, I actually am doing the same thing, bouncing between projects. It helps me stay interested too. I was just looking at the preview images you've put up. These just look fantastic! That Iron Man MKV is just what I've been looking for.
Yeah, that's how I skin. It keeps me from getting stuck. The moment I start to get artist block I move to another skin. The only problem is I have so many skins that are sitting at "almost done except for something tough to do" and they haunt me. I'm looking at you Holocaust.
Mandroids! Haha, I'm totally going to have to throw these guys against my Avengers soon...
looking good mate
Was just looking through the new meshes on the Champions site.
Really impressed with Box, and great skin by LP. This mesh might be good for a new Santo too.
The Chaka Khan nunchuck is too cool.
Really like all the details you put into all the Ironmans.
Paladin is really cool too.
Yeah, I just got a chance to get one of your Iron Mans...Men...err...you know. Anyway, stellar work, both on the mesh itself and on the animations. Also, Dreamazoid's skin is excellent!
AWSOME GREN! :thumbup:
Iron Man animations are pretty cool. I like how he hovers. Bravo :thumbup:
All these armored characters...I think I feel an armor wars rumbleroom battle coming on... :thumbup:
I Finally felt far enough ahead to take a break from skinning and skoping and the first thing I did was really check out the Iron-Men. All the little extras are great. The FX's are definitely cool but I really like the animated face mask. It just gives Iron-Man so much personality. I wish there was a idle stance with it open though.
I know you have some new things you want skinned but I was wondering about the Mandroid. If no one has claimed him I wouldn't mind giving him a shot.
And one other question. Since Court was cool with you moving his older skin around to work with the new meshes is he cool with you using his newer version? I ask because my anal self has already taken the toybox skins and moved them to your new ones and didn't know if you would want them for the mesh.
I say...go for it Area...a Champion doing for a Champion. Warms the heart. :P :lol:
Very cool,
Mandroid is all yours for the skinning. I may revisit the mesh and add on some more stuff but not in the near future.
As to Courts skins, I haven't had much luck getting in touch with him lately. What I did was build some meshes around his skins. I don't know what his policy is on that so we'd have to contact him.
- Gren
I'm up for any standards if you ever need the help, hell i still owe you big for meshing one of my fav characters hordak why back when
Iron Man MK3 is one of my favorites, I always liked this classic armor and you made a perfect version. The animations and FX are specially impressive.
Thanks for sharing it.
In the spirit of not KB'ing Courts work I would say the Iron man mkv 12 skin would be the only one that's ok since that one was just me resizing and moving of what he had done on the previous version. I have the 3 and 7 done but that had parts that I had to mix and match from his Iron Skins (and couple just by me) and I think would be a no-no unless Court Ok's it.
I'll send it your way if you want.
Updated to add -
I forgot to tell you that the Mkv 3 is missing the reflection on the boot cuff. It needs its effect to be set to 1.
Cool,
Send it my way.
I'll PM you my email.
mkv3 is fixed and uploaded to the site.
I sent the other one too. I saw that your crediting me with the skin for the Mark 3 but really all I did was the extras that didn't exist in any of his other skins and even those parts were based off of Courts designs so he deserves the credit.
Fixed again. :) :) :)
With the Mandroid you mentioned you might want to change it and I'm curious about what. He has a visor but it's alpha'd out on your original standard and I was wondering if that was something that was to be changed. I haven't done the head yet because I wasn't sure. All the reference pics I've seen so far don't have the visor but I didn't want to start doing the head one way then find out other wise.
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/Area34/Untitled-1-20.jpg)
BTW Glad to hear your feeling better. I know from way back in the old days (when I was working for the DOC escorting offenders to the hospital for Dialysis) how long and boring it can be.
Wow...nice bro! :thumbup:
Wow. That is one awesome skin. I never thought one color could look so cool.
Beautiful work.
The changes I refer to deal with his hands and weapons.
Notice I gave the mesh a model number. I'm planing on different variants based on the comics I read. I'll probably make changes to their weaponry mainly, but as I said it won't be soon.
nice skinning bud!that gold tone would look good on an ironman mk2 wouldnt it! ;)
I've sent the skins for the Mandroids. I also sent Court's MK12 from the toybox rearranged to match with your newer mesh the other day but I forgot to mention it.
I got the skins.
Great work :) :) :).
The Mk12 version you sent me was for Mk3. The Mk12 was the silver centurion.
The version models I'm using are from this website:
http://www.ironmanarmory.com/Main.html (http://www.ironmanarmory.com/Main.html)
*Hurm* Maybe I sent the same thing twice. I just resent the Mark 12 skin. I double checked this time.
And that secret mesh you sent me is amazing. All the animated parts are crazy. I mean his back would have been more than enough but then all the wrist weapons too? Above and beyond.
My one and only criticism is that he sets the bar way to high for future meshes.
Yeah I hear ya.
I does become a pain to live up to.
The good part about it is that I control my own bar.
So when I see something I like or interesting, I can go all out, or when I'm practicing, I'm pacing myself. That's the only way I can deal with multiple issues and projects without being in a padded room.
Anyway, onto tthe ten projects I'm working on. :) :) :)
Its awesome to see you back Gren...i too just returned to FF after like a 6 year hiatus lol...i always remember your name and the high quality stuff you did back in the day. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Since being back ive looked through all your creations and they are AMAZING....your attention to detail is just "WOW". And your catalog of characters is so impressive...
gren, all these armors are fantastic.that war machine is top notch.besides the classic 70's/80's red and gold armor one of my favorite armors was his HULKBUSTER armor.
I was working on skinning JP's Hulkbuster but the wire's for some of the parts are messed up- so if Gren does one I'd be all over it.
I got to admit, a Hulkbuster_Gren would be really cool to see. :D But your newest releases are really sweet. Thanks for sharing all your hard work.
http://ffcenter.net/champions/
Now available are two versions of Thor.
Once I get some new skins for them,
I'll put them up.
I heard the Thunder & came to download! :blink:
Very cool, great animation with them.
Awesome! Now those Storms Giants have a chance to win a battle (they've been struggling mightily against Odin). :)
Wow.....I've got to check that out!
I've never been a real fan of thor, but I am a fan of your meshes, so I will absolutely run these in game, with your other Avengers characters. Looking forward to seeing what's next. :D
ARGH!!! i think loki has struck! my computer is dead in the water! using my wife's again. was really looking forward to the new thor meshes. gren...i'm sure they're awsome buddy! when i'm back on my feet again i may have to send out a call for possible missing meshes,skins,sites,maps,ect....! :(
Billcasanova found a quirk in the Thor v2 mesh. The problem is fixed and uploaded.
Please download the mesh again.
Normally, I would have posted more but I'm in the process of moving. Once we're settled,
we should have more.
Awesome keyframes Gren but he looks stretched to me especially his hands.
You caught that huh? :) Actually I made his arms bigger because of weilding that big hammer around so much. I made him a head larger than male basic as well. I didn't want to make him too bulky but I also didn't want to make him too thin when I made him larger.
little details like that really can make a mesh.good job gren!

It's not so much of the arms being bigger, I just noticed his wrist and hands were considerly longer than your other male_muscular meshes. Stylistic choice I suppose.

And perhaps that shouldn't have been said at all TrajikLogik. Let's just move on to the business at hand, shall we? What's next on tap, Gren?
Gren, your new meshes are so good, I want to make out with them. Im not joking. I would totally do it if I could.
But THE MAN wont let me.
As the man said moving on.
Been busy moving but still managed to crank out some stuff.

It's all that honey in that Russian beer he drinks.. besides all bears need to do is roar and scare his opponents away then maul and claw attack the idiots that don't.

All Iron Man needs to defeat him is a case of High Life and a platter of wings. No celery sticks though. And a lot of ranch dressing.

I just checked out Thor in Ctool...the animations are pure awesome! :thumbup:
May I suggest broadening the shoulders a little on the Bear to make him less humanoid looking - Other than that I think he looks perfect especially the claws :blink:
i like him the way he is myself.looking more bear-like is the appeal of that character.pot belly and all. how tall is he gren? male_heavy or hulking?
QuoteMay I suggest broadening the shoulders a little on the Bear to make him less humanoid looking - Other than that I think he looks perfect especially the claws
I made him as a man-bear. If you want to adjust him, that's what skoping is all about.

I doubt Gren would agree it wasn't negative. And you didn't clarify, you simply took another jab at Gren. If you weren't trying to be negative and clarify you would have said something like: "Gren, I'm sorry that you took that from what I said. I didn't mean that at all. What I meant was..." Please don't try to make me look like the jerk by trying to butter up what you said. I'm allowed to clarify myself in public as well.

QuoteGren, that bear mesh looks fantastic! Do I dare hope that it might have a bear hug animation
I'm still studying what's involvled with the grappling manuevers. Once I figure that out, I'll update that mesh.
Lets all just drop it Gren's back & as far as I can see no one is really flamming anyone else - It's more of a loss in translation situation - For Gren if you need some tips on how grappling works with FFX 3 then i'll be happy to help out via PM :blink:
QuoteI'm still studying what's involvled with the grappling manuevers. Once I figure that out, I'll update that mesh.
You may want to check out Yellow Lantern's grapple animation. I've added them to all my appropriate meshes. Unfortunately, there is only a grapple animation for basic and hulking meshes. Both will work on male_heavy meshes, but as I'm sure you know, the basic anim squishes the mesh and hulking stretches it (only during the animation, of course). I'm sure someone skilled in creating keyframes could adjust the hulking animation to play nice with male_heavy, or as I assume is the case, you would rather make your own animations. I'd be happy to send the animations to you if you're interested.
I share your problem with the lack of male_heavy grapple animations. I've already requested of Gren that he begin to add grapple animations to meshes of characters that use it. He's barely had a chance to look at the stuff I've sent to him about it. But, I think we will soon see some cool things done. :)
Can I make a suggestion? If the guy is a bear, what about some kinda bear type claw slash animations? Like Texas Jack's Wolverine meshes? You know how bears swat stuff. Might give him a little more distinctiveness, and theyd be cool as hell.
inks sabretooth,rens killer croc, and i think tj's gorilla meshes all have good claw slash animations but seeing as how thorough he is with his animations to characters i bet his bear can already slash foes.
I was just suggesting.
There gonna be a bite animation?
Save your suggestions until you see the mesh, which will be released next week.
The mesh already has the animations you mentioned. I mean c'mon I.m not new to this rodeo.
Of course I'm going to put appropriate animations for the mesh.
Holy crap! Where have I been? :blink:
All this awesome new stuff! Two Grenadier Thor meshes. Sweet!
Crimson Dynamo, Titanium man, Classic Ironman armours...oh my! :cool:
I may have to dust off the old photoshop again... :thumbup:
Hey Court, Good to hear from you buddy.
Give me a PM with your email address and I'll start emailing you meshes.

I would have welcomed you sooner but I didn't even have a pc for quite a while there, but I sure was pleased to see you here :D
Good to hear from you buddy,
I hope you don't mind me using your meshes for some characters. I gave you credit on it and stuff.
I still plan on using it for Dr. Strange when I'm ready. I'm glad your back on line. Now when Ren gets back, we can really party.
Mind you using them?
1. Great advertisement for me :thumbup:

It's that time again folks.
This time the Russians are coming.
Ursa Major, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, and a new mesh for Vanguard.
Liked the skin so I made a mesh for it. Course a redo is in order.
I also have a classic version of Darkstar coming. I might release it sooner than two weeks.
Anyway they can all be found here:
http://ffcenter.net/champions/ (http://ffcenter.net/champions/)
Just in time for the weekend! :thumbup: Thanks, Gren!
That bear turned out really, really well. So are the rest, but it's great to have a bear.
It's always great to see the Soviet's getting created, really cool team back in the day (sorry, don't know about their current status). As always, Armored characters rock!
Edit: You've hit us with the Canadians, you've thrown the Soviets our way, I gots to ask, who are we going to catch next?
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate all you're hard work. Thank you.
Thanks for all these, Gren. I'm glad you did Ursa Major's bear form as a separate mesh. Now, we can have a bear form for Snowbird as well. Laughing Paradox made mention that he was redoing his Vanguard skin and we'd see why. Well, now we know. Awesome. :thumbup:
Edit: I just checked it out and the bear hug animation for Ursa major completely rocks!

I sooo look forward to getting my 'puter back. :banghead:
From the preview pics, these look really good, I'm looking forward to seeing these in action.
Fantastic release Grenadier! Its hard to believe your back with the community, but its even harder to believe the work your putting out.
Thanks everybody,
I rechecked the Vanguard Mesh. Please re-download. What was fixed?
Some quirky animations, some clipping,and also I added the max files fore the hammer and sickle weapons. If any who has the ability to make FXes from this kindly do so. It's been a while since I did it so I'm rusty.
QuoteIts hard to believe your back with the community, but its even harder to believe the work your putting out.
I'm doing this from a laptop, mostly one-handed no less( I don't like using two hands on a laptop), and still able to get my paperwork for Medicare going. For a while I was also doing this with one eye due to partial cataract. It comes and goes but I figured a way to train the bad eye to focus better. That part was what I was impressed about. Training, practice, attention to detail, and focus goes a long way. :) :) :)

Defenitely shows Gren. The last thing I was able to download before my 'puter crashed was yoour Iron Men meshes. Your training and focus really shows.
http://ffcenter.net/champions/
I just uploaded the classic version of Darkstar. I wanted to add her earlier but finally finished her.
I don't like the hands on the women meshes. I guess I'm going to have to do something about that.
Great work Gren...once again you've nailed it! ;) :thumbup:
http://ffcenter.net/champions/
Okay ladies and gents. Fresh off the assembly line are:
Mauler
Titanium Man Mkv2
Arsenal (Marvel version)
Iron Man Mk198
Mandarin
Enjoy.. :) :) :)
Also : New Skins for Adam Strange and Shredder from the Ultimate Evil.
ooo cool stuff Gren.
Heh Arsenal - I was just looking at the preview to next weeks Avengers Academy #2 in which Arsenal reappears.
Skins for Adam Strange and Shredder are still the same. :(
excellent work gren! :thumbup:
@gren very nice! Keep up the great work :)
@style, you have to click on their names in the bar under the new content.
Whoo-Hoo! Arsenal and Mandarin look great! Thanks, Gren!
Cool stuff Gren! That Adam Strange is really awesome!
QuoteSkins for Adam Strange and Shredder are still the same.
Adam strange has the new skin the shredder had the old skin. That has been fixed.
Download again.
I love the Modern Titanium Man. Gren, you work since your return has been above par, I've always enjoyed your work, because of your attention to detail. Your Iron Man and armor characters are so awe inspiring, I don't have time to build them all in game lol
Thanks dude, this time around I decided I won't hold back on what I can actually do. By not limiting myself in terms of meshing or animation, I found the ideas just poping out a lot easier speeding up my creative process. Mandarin only took a day to do and another to check and fix. I always try to do a QC before release, but I'm human and make mistakes. The firepower mesh is 80% done in meshing in only 5 hours, so I thought that was pretty good. Right now, I'm thinking what set to make for the next two weeks. I'll get it once I start reading some comics. :) :) :)
The new grappling and throwing animations are awesome. With the ability to now create more than just punch melee animations you really can let your imagination run free. I can't wait to see more.
Don't forget it is now possible to using flying melee so you can create animations for characters that use that. Giants can use it to hit flying characters and flying characters can hit giants or other flying characters.
Also, long ranged melee (like the Killarilla's Whip) can be used for charging attacks. The character should start at 0 and move forward to hit a target that is further away, out of melee range. Most current animations that are charging have the character jump backwards, away from the target, and then run back to hit them.
flying melee... hmm...I tried something like that a long time ago. Anyone have examples of it now.
Speaking of grappling animations, mine doesn't do damage. How do I cause someone I've grabbed crushing damage. Also can this code be transfereed to FF as to only working in FFVTTR.
The previews of this new batch look really good. I'm really bummed out that I don't have my 'puter so I can play with these. I can't wait to try and re-enact the Armor Wars battles. But I'm really looking forward to seeing your Firepower mesh. :thumbup:
Question: Is there any chance that you might adapt your new Thor meshes to mesh a Beta Ray Bill or a Thunderstrike?
Again, thanks for all your hard work. It is definitely appreciated.
Fantastic as always, Gren.
I'm gonna skin up that Mandarin, for sure.
QuoteIs there any chance that you might adapt your new Thor meshes to mesh a Beta Ray Bill or a Thunderstrike?
Eventually, when I get into Asgardian Mode which will be after my Iron Mode.
gren, everyone loves your modes!doesnt matter what mode your in.cant wait to see c6 release his skins and LP, your mandarin will be awsome as well!

I can defenitely agree to this. You have a lot of talent. I believe I have all of the meshes on your yahoo groups and the Champions site.
You and Courtnall make the best mesher/skinner team. Keep it up you two :)
I've got some examples of the flying melee keys that Taskmaster X did. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll send 'em your way.
yo Benton, if you can send me those examples too. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and those would help me get that thought process going.
QuoteI've got some examples of the flying melee keys that Taskmaster X did. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll send 'em your way.
Cool, send me those examples. Thanks dude.
I think Ren started adding some to his meshes, as well. I couldn't tell you which ones though.
Sure guys, PM me with email addys!
:EDIT: Hey Gren, I've got a question about your Shredder mesh. I'm getting a weird thing where his helmet doesn't seem to be quite solidly on his head. It tends to bob a bit when he moves, and occasionally the top of his head pokes through. I'm not sure if this is something peculiar on my machine, or if it is an issue with the mesh itself. Anyone else have this experience?
Arsenal is really cool, Gren. I'm going to move these kfs over to some of my other Male Heavy meshes, if compatible. I love some of the new melee kfs you came up with. The chest cannon pretty darn cool.

I checked on my machine in both character tools. Now when I converted, I convert both mesh and keyframe. I tried converting just the mesh once for the juggernaut and I got the same quirks you're talking about. But just to be safe I uoload the shredder mesh again.
QuoteArsenal is really cool, Gren. I'm going to move these kfs over to some of my other Male Heavy meshes, if compatible. I love some of the new melee kfs you came up with. The chest cannon pretty darn cool
I start with the basic ideas and add on to bring out the characters. Thanks and enjoy,because there is more to come.
I was just checking out Mauler in CTool. His melee_4 animation is a perfect example of a flying melee. That can be changed to a ranged attack (via Nifskope) and then in the game, the ranged attack is assigned that animation and given a short range. Its not perfect, but works well enough. It looks a lot better when the attack animation goes past the target and then loops back. Now, if that could start from a hovering position, rather than an melee idle position, that would truly be a flying melee attack.
Didn't you make some flying melee animations on some of your other kfs - like the eternal kfs? Those are perfect. It can be a melee animation, or both ranged and melee. You can use it as a melee because you can get the AI to use it easily while in the air and you just need an attribute that gives a command to use the attack for hero files. As long as the character is close enough to another flying character they will stay in the air when using the air melee attack. So there are actually 2 ways to simulate flying melee - by skoping a melee animation to a ranged, or using a melee air power at close range.
As for the issue you mentioned with the grappling: No damage bubbles will appear during the grapple, so you need to monitor the target's health bar to see the damage inflicted. If this doesn't solve it, then head on over to the thread Xenolith started in the Scripting forum and see if any of the posts there can help you out.
Xenolith: I checked the kf's for Arsenal and they are not male_heavy, but rather male_hulking_brute.
D'oh! Well, still, I like 'em a lot.
yeah i tried those kf's with other characters to no avail.box's kf's are really cool also.those would make good kf upgrades to some of his other MHV_meshes.was thinking juggernaut.
I'm not remaking Arsenal to male heavy I made him male hulking because the shape and size were appropriate. There were other meshes I'm not remaking because of other reasons, but the keyframes can be transfered to a male heavy eventually when I find an appropriate mesh.
I agree, he is male_hulking. For some reason my mind saw MH and thought that meant male_heavy. I just had a wire loose in my noggin.
Mr. Gren - Just want to add my thanks for creating these awesome meshes. :thumbup:
Hey Gren, the Shredder thing stopped when I took off shadows and such, so it may have something to do with the ghosting mesh problem. I'll try that fix on it later, and I imagine it will probably take care of the issue. I've been putting him through his paces while designing the character, and I've just got to say, amazing work man!
Having a stay at hospspital
Talk to everyone soon
take it easy mate and look after your self.
Get well soon
Gren I hope everything is ok. Well wishes.
I wish the best for you. I hope everything will be ok.
Hey Gren, you're in our prayers. I hope you come home soon, man.
Here's hoping for a fast recovery!
I think we would rather have a healthy Gren than any number of character meshes.
Take care of yourself and feel better soon.

Hope u get better bro. My dad has went thru the same thing and its tough for all the family. My prayers are with u and yours.
gren seriously it may sound harsh but to hell with meshes and FR. concentrate on your self, your health and family. thats what important when something like this happens.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!!!
Just got back into the game from a long work marathon. I am sorry to hear you are not well Gren. You are a great inspiration to everyone here and made this game infinitely better. Thanks for all the great stuff you provided us. Get well and God bless.
Glad to hear you're going to be okay.. just rest up and get better.
Glad to hear you're ok man... Take your time and recover. FR can wait for you to get better, just like it can wait for C6 to go through his spouts of burnout.
Thanks everyone for your support. What's happened so far is that I developed a blood clot in my leg due to lupus. It went into my chest causing it hard for me to breath. They put a breathing tube in me and wacked me on morphine. Once I got my bearings, I realized I was tied from hands to feet, and the breathing tube was choking me. Needless to say I pulled out that nonsense. However, my blood presssure was 190 over 130. So the doctors tried to figure out why. The lupus was still in my system so they enhanced my medications and it's back down to a normal 130 over 80.
In the process my right eye vision has to be retrainined again to see properly due to a burst vessel. I've done it before so no worries. They still want to do some more tests but I'm a lot better that I was a week ago. Really no bull. In the meantime I did managed to update the site. If you see a problem just let me know or skope it. Untill I get my right eye re trained, things don't look quite right so bear with me.
Thanks everyone.

But please, take time for yourself! Be well! Everyone wants this more than we want any releases. Be well, Gren!
Thanks fork the feeback, Gren. Be well... And don't push yourself too hard for the next few days, tough guy. :)
Tony Stark ain't got nothing on you Gren. That's a lot to deal with in a weeks time.
As we've said. get yourself well. We'll wait for you.
Gren! I don't think I expressed it well enough when I said you're a tough hombre...but I hardly know what else to say! Man, that is a lot to go through. I'm glad you're feeling better man, and we'll keep you in our prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.
We're healin well everybody. I'm hoping to be home by the end of the week. It's no fun being hospitalized all the time for one reason or another, but we're good. Our faculties and creative juices are working just fine. I just can't do much right now. just prepin things for use later.
Wow! Sorry to hear about you recent health troubles, but I'm really glad to hear you're doing better. Get well soon, buddy!
Gren...I'm sending you white light (as my friend Grace has been known to say)...Good healing to you.

Thank you everyone, back home now. I'm retraininng my eye, the rigth one with a burst blood vessel. Also coordianting with doctors for the next 3 weeeks about a vascular surgery procedure. I'll be down for a bit but not out. So no worries you can't keep a good Marine down.

Ooh Rah my friend! Get better soon!
yes, get better soon, gren.
We all wish you a full recovery, Gren.
Get well, Gren. Thanks for all of the new meshes.
Just letting everyone know, I'm fine. I got vascular surgery tomorrow to attach a vein to a main artery for dialysis. In the mean time, I upgraded my max from 4.2 to 5.1 and loaded the character tool for 4.2. Works fine. So now I can take advantage of the mesh Johnny Patches sent me earlier.
Course I'm going to tweak it up when necessary, but nevertheless, it's a well done mesh and it'll make people who want fingers happier. Meshes will start rolling out once my vision clears up a bit more. They're slightly dialated so everything is a bit fuzzy. Until it clears up we can't do any meshing, but we are doing some prep work no matter how frustrating it is right now.
:) :) :)
thats good news brother! :thumbup:
Awesome that you're doing better and awesome that you're back to making meshes!
Good luck with the surgury tomorrow.
Great to hear that all is going well and good luck on the surgery tomorrow.

Hey Everybody, my vision is slowly starting to clear. I've been doing some basic prep work for some stuff to release when my vision gets better. I like the hands Johnny Patches made so I'm incorporating it in some new meshes. During which, I did a size comparison of meshes I've utilized. I think I'm missing a size between sentinel and giant man. I'm thinking of making frost giants around that size. Opinions and ideas?
On another subject, the female mesh shape we all utilize needs an upgrade, anyone got a good picture of wonder woman or she hulk where they are just standing straight?
Great to hear you're getting better, Gren.
About the Wondy pic:
(http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/img/w/WonderWoman.jpg)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/clarkbr/Wonder_Woman_body.jpg)
Hope it helps.
If you look back at the history of Hank Pym's heroic identities, he has been just about every size you can imagine. Around the end of his run in Tales to Astonish, I believe he was hitting 100-120 feet. What are the limits to Collasal Boy's powers? How tall is It-The Living Monolith?
How tall is a Sentinel these days? Seems like they used to be about 60'.
Great to hear your sight is recovering, Gren! :)
Good to here you're on the mend :)
here's a she-hulk. although i'd make her a tad more muscular than this pic but still keep her female beauty. also, a head taller than wonderwoman. get better bud! http://phantombunburyist.freedomforceforever.com/cripp12/S-T/t_shehulk.jpg
I echo BG's sentiment. I'm glad you're doing well.
Regarding the size differences, I think the Frost Giant will be a great size between your Sentinel and Giant-Man. I also look forward to your new female_basic mesh.
Glad to see you on the mend Gren.
While your compiliing ref pics I have been trying to get this guy done for quite some time.
http://marvel.wikia.com/Silvio_Manfredi_%28Earth-616%29
Seems impossible without having the ability to physique. Just throwing him out there as maybe something you might tackle in the future. I can not physique objects in maya so it is beyond me.
Great news that you are doing well. I think that the frost giants would look good at that size.
QuoteI can not physique objects in maya so it is beyond me.
I hear ya, Maya is like playing with clay when you want use a chisel to chip away blocks and pieces. I prefer to use 3dmax 4.2 because of it's simplicity. I found 3dmax 5.1 dope sheet too annoying to be effectively doing any animation or transfering any animation from it. Hence I went back to 4.2 for the main bulk of my meshing, but I still use 5.1 to convert newer meshes.
However, my favorite modeling tool used to be Lightwave. I could either model the the meshes like clay or be precise like max. Animation wise, I like to use max because I've gotten used to it over the years, but maya has just as good set of tools as well.
Thanks John, The Wonder Woman Pic is what I'm looking for. The plan is to reshape a mesh to look just like that and have movements that look natural to the mesh . Everyone has been used to skinning our current meshes. I don't believe in remaking the wheel other than to test my own skiills and I have my own personal project for that.
I love maya interface and modeling features my main problem is the nif exporter. It would be a super day if they ever update that thing. Yeah I realy wish though I had learned max instead. The interface in max just kills me. I get lost so easy.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whateveriwant12/photos/album/1074772491/pic/2119893206/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whateveriwant12/photos/album/1074772491/pic/2119893206/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc)
Yeah, they never really worked that exporter to the point where it worked like max. I would've used Maya more often then.
Anyway The picture above is the difference in shape between what a woman should be shaped as opposed as to what is shaped. The current female mesh we all use to date has a chest area that is too big and a neck too short. Looking at the comparison, the mesh was shaped from a male and parts were added to make it more female. Well, we're going to try to make it look better. That's the main reason I don't like making female meshes.
This might be a bit presumptuous of me, but you might have an easier time starting with my female basic tm max... it's not exactly perfect, but it's loads better then the ones irrational made up (probably because it's based on Eve instead of a basic mesh).
I've already tried Eve, female versatile, and female basic. Each one has an element I don't like. So what I've done is take parts that I like to form the base. What I have is close to the shape I want so I'm hoping to not make too many drastic alterations.

Can't wait to see your new female Gren, unbelievably excited for this!
No, not eve specifically... I released the max to female_basic_tm (up on my npi page), which was my attempt at making a superior female base mesh. It has a lot of modifications already, such as a remapped chest and replaceable heel/noheel feet.
It's still not up to your level, but IMO it's far better than irrational's meshes. Either way though, I'm excited to see what you come up with.

I did a comparison of your mesh to the model I'll be working with. The vertices for the legs haven't been welded. I understand that it allows for heels. The neck and shoulder still needs some adjusting. The proportions on the the legs needs to be matched to the model. The torso looks good but still needs to be smaller.
However I do like some elements you have and with your permission I want to use the torso and arms for the project I'm attempting.
I don't mind at all... the reason I released the max in the first place was so it would be used, after all.

I'm doing fine, vision comes and goes in terms of focusing, but just enough to crank out some goodies.
I like Johnny Patches meshing of the hands so I've incorporated into the meshes which saves me the trouble of doing it. Anyway these should be available on Friday evening. So look for it them :) :) :)
Gren, nice to see you're on the up and up!
And great new meshes.. Elektra looks fantastic! I love Guardsmen and the latest Iron Man, too! I can't wait to get my hands on them.
These look pretty cool Gren.
That Electra skin is so old. I would love to update her for you. :)
That's cool. I PM'd you for your email.
Thanks in advance. :) :) :)
when my classic marvel telepathy started tingling i knew Gren. was coming back. cant wait for you-know-who to be released so he can apply "the gift" to all my evil meshes! glad your on the mend bro! :thumbup:
Woohoo!!! A new Guardsman mesh!!! I'm excited, i'm excited, i'm excited.... :bunny
And a female mesh from Gren? Wow. Can't wait to check ALL of these out. :drool:
Great looking upcoming stuff, Gren.. and I'm very happy you are on a major swing towards a full recovery.
One question though.. I saw that you are doing Guardsmen (which I was hoping you would do... so major cool.. :thumbup:) but were you thinking of doing the modern heavy-armored version of them as well?

Wow, great looking stuff that you've got in the pipeline, Gren. I'm glad to hear you're vision is getting better. Here's hoping that it comes and stays!
Gren continues to prove that he's the IRON MAN of Freedom Reborn.
:P ;)
All pun intended.
Quotewere you thinking of doing the modern heavy-armored version of them as well
As soon as I find out what comic that came from. I want to know what it can do before I do anything.

According to the All New Iron Manual Handbook (where I got the picture from) it's the same as the standard Guardsmen armor (flight, combat computers, exoskeleton strength enhancement, life support) but had much heavier reinforced armor and the standard palm repulsors were replaced with heavy caliber energy rifles that fully replaced each forearm. They were first used to guard The Vault in the Negative Zone and most often seen standing guard near Initiative jump gates after the Civil War (and I swore they had actual combat during Secret Invasion when Skrulls were attacking the Initative bases) and recently were seen in the background of Thunderbolts current prison base. I'll see if I can get you exact issues they appeared in but that should give you a good start.

Electra, Guardsman,and Iron-Man Mk32 are now available.
I also updated the latest Thor with new animations, shorter and remapped hammer, and also has hands.
Enjoy.
- Gren
Dude you're too much. :thumbup:
Okay, thanks to Outcast who found some quirks in the Guardsman animation. They've been corrected and so if you re-download you should get the fixed version. Thanks again Outcast.
No no no no no...
It is I who should thank you, Gren.
Enjoying the new Guardsman mesh right now. Thanks! :cool:
Darn it, I just looked into the Electra Mesh. I have 9 versions of it. I complied version 8 and deleted 9. In adversity you can find some new ways to do things. I found some new keyframe tricks that allowed me to redo version 9 sai animations. Anyway, it seems fixed :doh:, any quirks that anyone finds. Let me know. Thanks Billcasanova.
At some point, I'm going to need a QC person, my off and on focusing is slowing me down. Any takers, I only need one.
-Gren
your quality is beyond anything i am capable of, or i would offer to help you in any way you want.
you are my hero.
I just need another viewpoint since my vision goes up and down with my blood pressure which stresses my eyes occasionally. It makes hard to see my laptop for all the fine details at times.
That's cool bearded, if you ever want to do a joint project together, just give me a PM.
:) :) :)
Hey man you know if you need anything...I'm your "huckleberry"...us Champs gotta stick together. ;)
Magnificent work as ever with your Iron Man!! The "Modern Armour" has never looked so good! Are you planning on doing the new "liquid metal/extremis" armour? It may not seem like much of a challange, but it as some cool features like formig guns out of its hands and shields etc.
Just realised how much like the Blue Beetle the new armour is....

Now I have a base to work with. Great job AA.
awesome meshes love the new ironman and the animation of the multi-gun is priceless
Wow, so much Iron-Love these days!
Oh, I meant to ask, have you thought of releasing your new mesh without the chest panel as an easy Iron-Patriot mesh?

Nope, all it needs is someone to skope it and put the right skin. I set it up so it can be skoped for reasons like that. I am prepping for a version 2 of war machine. As to it's release unknown for now. I'm a little ironed out so I might be switching to Asgardian mode for a bit.
Asgardian mode sounds REALLY good!

That is fantastic news.. I love the Defenders so I'm really looking forward to what you are cooking up.
I think I'm going to start skoping some obscure villains from the book, like the Lunatik.
Some of those meshes are already done : Hulk, Silver Surfer, Hawkeye, Nighthawk, and Sub-Mariner.
Those are my older meshes. I don't plan on revisiting them all because Ren has made some meshes already that works for me. I plan on adding two more to that list. A strange doctor that we all know and a lady with a blade. :) :) :)
Ooooohhh! A "strange doctor"!!?
My guess is Cardiac or Mad Thinker!!!
I can't wait!
cant wait to see those gems! :)
I love defenders and Dr. Strange specially. Gren maybe you would consider tackling? Sometime? (http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr241/Nilok777/chondu.jpg)
Im surprised you arent tackling this guy yourself, Bev. Youre no slouch in the meshing department either, as your own thread can attest.
I could mesh it but I can not animate. I can merely make objects with maya. Having tentacles on this guy that do not move is lame I already tried that.

Why don't you model it and Gren animate it? It'd be like a cooperative effort instead of one person doing all of the work.
That would be up to gren. Any mesher here could spit out a tentacle with teeth and some wings in about 15 minutes. rigging and animating is where all the hard work is.
I agree. Over at the TWC, we have massive respect for modlers and animators. Trust me, I know how much work goes into each and every model, and I deeply appreciate all of the work all of the modders, both big and small, are so gracious to release to those incapable of doing those type of things themselves. Keep up the great work everybody! :thumbup:
I thought about it and the answer is no. I got too many things on my plate as is.
Wow, I have missed so much. I am glad to see your return to FF. I think I will spend the rest of the day downloading, defenitely a good thing. :thumbup:
nice gren.. :D
the last i was here it was a bit ago :huh:... :unsure: how are you doing?
vision back 100% :mellow: im glad you like the hands ;) ..
thats what they are there for buddy :thumbup:..
take care ill back soon i hope.. :blink:

To start off the Asgardian Mode we have Volstagg.
Enjoy.
Oh snizzap! Finally, a mesh fit for Volstagg. Let us all rejoice in this news!
WOW! ok C-6 its on u!
Ah sweet. Great job on Volstagg Gren.

AWESOME! A Gren Volstagg mesh. That's too cool. :D
gren, that Volstagg is awsome brother!
I like a lot of the cool new animations in Volstagg. Great job Gren. ^_^
volstagg is great, Gren. I love the beermugbash and the how he holds onto his helmet when he runs and flies.
damn mate nice mesh, you finally got round to him then. i remember speaking about him with you with i requested another character way back when the boards started

Yeah, it took me awhile to get the shape and bones right. This was a mesh I left on the shelf years ago that I went back to redo.
i bet it was back in the day i was pestering people for MOTU stuff and you made me hordak. lol long long ago

Okay, new meshes and redoes are now available at the above link. I'm releasing them early because I got a lot to do tommorrow.
What's released: Grim Hogun new and classic version with new animations.
Ogre for use as canon fodder
Added lightning FX to my Thor's when spinning hammer.
I'm new around here Grenadier but I've enjoyed your meshes from way back. Anytime I see your name in a new
thread, I know it usually means cool new toys to play with. Thanks for these and the Ogre really is appreciated. Good
to have more generic baddies for our heroes to smack down :thumbup:
Those look good Gren, can't wait til I get home to try them out.
Gren, awsome as usual bro! big THANKS! love anything asgardian/olympian!
I love the new form and animations on the new meshes for Grim Hogun. The animations are clearly more fluid now compared to your earlier version. I think you've really come a long way in meshing and i think it shows in your work. :)
Pretty cool lightning effects on Thor too. :cool:
Nice Ogre. I'd love to be downloading it but the link is being broken.
I can't download these now because my personal laptop (with the game) is off getting fixed, but they preview pics look very cool. I'm impressed you decided to release two version of Hogun. That Ogre looks really cool, too.

wooowwww!!! now the only thing miss is a good asgard map!! (i use that snowy forest in :ff:)
with your new meshes you bring new fresh air to this games gren!!!
http://ffcenter.net/champions/ (http://ffcenter.net/champions/)
Here's a few meshes to enjoy in an Asgardian Scenario.
Those look really cool Gren. Good job.
excellent work brother gren! man, the looks are great and the kf's are perfect for the characters. mangog looks like a pre-cursor to another possible character that would be perfect for that size/kf animations that i wont name! when i watched his kf movements i thought of him. hope your getting better bro! keep in touch! :)
another great update gren. thanks for all the hard work you do, hope all is going well for you health wise.
OMG!! HELA! My favourite Asgagardian godess is finally been done, by one of the masters of meshing o less!!
Hela? Man, that's just awesome. That is one crazy hat, too. Also, a new Enchantress is quite great. I love all these Asgardians, Gren!

We're slowly getting there. I know what mesh you want. :) :) :)
All in all, thanks everyone.
I've been reading some of my old thor comics and playing what I have on FF1. I got a few Thor based characters that I'm planning on doing and/or remaking.
I also finally remembered something about particles that I was trying to remember all this time. Gravity and Deflectors work when compiling to FF1.
Wind and Vortexes don't seem to work or I haven't figured it out yet. It May not mean anything to anyone but it was bugging me for the longest.
If your remaking some of your old meshes, is a certain horse-headed alien a possibility?

Sif, Ulik, Malekith, Thunderstrike, Visier, and Igron.
-Enjoy
More cool stuff Gren. I'm especially happy to see Thunderstrike.
Thanks Gren!
Ohh! Malekith! So awesome! These are really neat Gren. :D
More Asgardians!
Your meshes are making me want to skin again. I'm really inspired by Malekith. I love the Casket of Winters added to some moves.. just really fantastic stuff, Gren. Thanks for the release.
Thanks!
Great stuff Gren! Thank you!!
superb work, i can use this for some other characters i have in minds. i'm actually interested to see what catches your eye after you've went through the asgardians
Hopefully the Masters of Evil :P
No, no, no...it's all about the Great Lakes Avengers!!! :P
More goodies! Very cool. Ulik is a nice addition.
I finally found time to play with the new releases. They are very well made, animated, and skinnned. I especially like your new version of Ulik. His new proportions are great. Thanks for making thse, Gren.
Love the Asgardian releases Gren! Especially Thunderstrike :thumbup:
Gren, I have to say that your meshes are amazing, especially the keyframes. Its all the little things, the poses and body language are perfect for the characters. PERFECT.
I was wondering, if youre still on an Asgardian kick, any chance of you doing a Kurse or Fafnir meshes?
Thanks everyone, glad everyone is enjoying them.
QuoteI was wondering, if youre still on an Asgardian kick, any chance of you doing a Kurse or Fafnir meshes
On the to do list already. :) :) :)
NICE.
If theres one thing :ff: needs more of, its Kirby Monsters.
I've been re-reading a lot of the Walter Simonson issues. I like his work and the story telling. It's motivated me enough to crank out some meshes. So far I've gotten Ymir, 2 Ice giants, and a Frost Giant already made. I just got to send it out for QC. It should be out by next Friday.
Kurse, Bet Ray Bill, Fafnir, and some Storm Giants are under development. I just have to finish up on a modern version of Baldur. Mocaption files are becoming a pain. There's a bit of glitchiness during exporting that you don't see in the animating. So I'm having to either redo it from scratch or settle for its quirks which I don't like, but we'll figure it out eventually.
Will I do Surtur?
I need to look at the existing one and see what I can add to make it better and if I feel I have enough ideas that will make it different enough I'll crank one out.
Hi Grenadier,
Love the Asgardian meshes....Wondering if Thor Girl might be on your to do list?

Respectfully,
That might be an interesting character to do. She wasn't around for that long but she might be worth doing anyway. Let me think about it.
I'd definitely like to see a new Thor Girl. I'd update my old skin of her too.
I loved Simonson's Thor comics. I grew up in a small town and couldn't find half of his run because other kids beat me to the spinner rack. I remember reading the first issue and being blown away. I distinctly remember buying the issue where the Executioner dies from a comic shop in the big city. :) Good memories.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and Black Friday Shopping.
Late Release: Check out what's new. Giants, Giants, and More Giants, Tyr, Modern and Classic Balder, and Beta Ray Bill with his own hammer fx.
Why late? Let's see... I picked up pnuemonia from the clinic which poisoned my blood during dialysis. I spent 3 nights at the hospital next door on antibiotics to get better. They had no free wireless connection which sucked. The good part about the situation is I picked up 6lbs of good eating thanksgiving food. See ya in two weeks. :) :) :)
Glad you're doing okay Gren. So many cool stuff here but the Ice Giants and Bill really stand out. Great job.
I can't seem to download classic Balder.
Thank you so much for these Gren!
And not to be a downer, but I cannot download Classic Balder as well
And I'm glad you aren't sick anymore. Blessed be your health :)
Great to know you're getting better, Gren.
And thanks for all this goodness.
first and foremost, would you do me a favour and just relax you seem to be working like hell on these and health must come first, we are all extremely grateful for what you've done but seriously mate take care of yourself
Gren, so glad to hear you're doing okay and you got a lot of grub out of Thanksgiving!
Great looking meshes... as always. I always look forward to your releases. Your Lady Sif, by the way, makes me very excited for Valkyrie! The animations are insanely great.
Gren bro, was wondering why you've been quiet lately. just glad your OK! yeah, take break and relax. get your health/strength back. :thumbup:
Gren, thanks so much for all the fine meshes! Also I love the pun in the title, "Big" update hahah.
Take care of yourself, hope the hospital treats you well and I hope there's plenty of thanksgiving leftovers for you to keep putting on the weight.
Darn FTP agent. Okay Classic Balder has been reuploaded. It should be fine now. I'm glad everyone likes them. I was very inspired at the time.
I'm deliberating as to how I'm going to do Valkyrie with her spear and sword. Fafnir is not in the in the shape I want him to be and neither is Surtur. Thor Girl is coming along fine, just got to do her hair and hammer. Kurse, I'm still studying. As to what mode I'll be next, not sure, I'll know when I start it.
I'm feeling better right now, I just got be careful where I go since my immune system is so low due to my bad kidneys. However I did have a good thanksgiving gaining 6lbs of eating. :) :) :)
Yeah...well I put on 10lbs..so there! :P :lol: Glad you're feeling better brother. ;)
Glad to hear u doing better bro! A true hero! :thumbup:
Beta Ray Bil-GASM! Love the new work more then words can say!
thanks for all the cool toys gren, glad you're feeling better. i hope your health continues to stay strong. thanks for all the hard work you share with us.
Great update! I love the uniqueness of all the giants and all the little details that you have been putting in to them. Also bevo did a superb job on some of these skins as well!
Thanks for helping keeping me intrested in this game still Gren :thumbup:
Hey Gren, that place sounds like a real class act. They managed to poison your blood AND give you pneumonia? It sounds like they did more harm than good. Anyway man, I am really glad to hear that you're feeling better, and the work you've been putting out continues to amaze. I love all the varieties of giants, and it is awesome to see that classic Balder!
Hi Gren,
I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Please get better soon.
Also, thank you so much for all your hard work! Your contributions are much appreciated and help to keep FF alive and kicking!!
Respectfully,
I'm going to pile on top of USAgent's post. I agree with everything he said.
Uhm, not meaning to be cheeky...... but do you think there's any chance of a version of Bill with Thor's hammer? ^^
Wouldn't that be a very simple 'skope swap?
Sad to hear your having a hard time of it grenadier. I hope things start looking up once again. Prayers are with you. I love these giants. Specially ymir.
The skin for Adam Strange by UE seems to be missing. Also I love the work you've been doing but are you planning to do an Iron Monger mesh?
okay, reloaded adam strange with TUE's skin. Iron monger mesh is done I just have to animate it which I'm not focused on doing at this time. My plan is to release a mesh this coming week before I enjoy the holidays and get back to meshing around January. Family time is priority one with me. :) :) :)
10-4 on family time gren. relax and enjoy! :)

Thanks for all the toys you provide us.
Great to see that some people still keep this comunity alive after all this years. Great work. I especialy love your Iron Man Collection. I think the flying particles arent working though, there are Particles but they look nothing like they shot, more like tons of tiny white boxes. Anyway to fix this ?
Kep up the work! I logged into the forum after a few years now, its people like you and c6 that make the comunity what it is !

Happy Holidays Gren! Hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for all your hard work on these meshes. Take care and remember to take it easy. :)
Red Norvell........damn, I have to download this cuz the look is so cool. Ive never actually read any Thor comics with him in them, but I like the old school viking look.
I gotta start reading the Simonson Thor run here one day.
Gren, as usual, you come through. Whatever praise I can offer you would be superfluous at this point.
Thanks for the new meshes Gren! Can't wait to test em out.

Really? I thought it was a new skin of yours on the new mysterio mesh. I even did a side to side comparison and chose the new mesh, the refl on the fishbowl did it for me I guess.
Sweet, new Mysterio. I've got Mysterio plans for the future so this should come in handy.
The wolf mesh and keyframes are pretty cool. I'm really diggin' the updated Hela mesh, too. Great job on this, Gren!
Love the Asgard theme you've been doing Gren. Lots of fun and wonderful meshes :thumbup:
NEW STUFF BY GREN!!!
so after seeing Osiris' close_portal animation, i was thinking it would be perfect for a gandalf skope....YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
I actually had him in mind as the basis for my animation. I was planning on using the vizier mesh, add a cape and hat, change the staff and add a sachel. If you want to skope it out, that'll work too. I didn't plan on doing this for a while.
Amazing stuff as usual Gren :thumbup:
I love Leonus! :cool:(never thought I'd see a mesh of him :P)
Not sure if this is artifact from the EZNif conversion process but Swordsman appears to have some inverted triangles on the superior aspect of his shoulder pads/pouldrons.
Other than that he looks great. I esp[ecially like the over-the-shoulder stab.
Does the Cosmic Cube NOT show up on the Red Skull mesh for anyone else after using EZNifConvert? I also have the same issue with the fx and shield on the Dr Strange mesh.
Yeah...
I have the same issue.
I had that problem.... so i skoped in the glowy cosmic cube that Cyber Burn, Daglob, and Avalon did... now it's pretty hardcase.

I also skoped in Vertex's Red Skull so i could use C6's and DJ's skins.
Man, I gotta add that to my Christmas wish list!
I wouldn't mind checking that skope out myself. Looks like a pretty good combination, Detourne_me. :)
The problem in both the Red Skull and Dr Strange is that the alpha capabilities of FFVTR is not making them appear as they should in the character tool. A simple fix is to re-save the fx, shield, and cube.tga file as 16-bit images removing the alpha layer from the image.
I looked into the swordsman and put a fixed version in one of the las t yahoo groups. I think groups 14, 15, or 16.
Here's a link to my list of groups.

Hopefully I'll have some new stuff by Christmas, but right now I got some RL that are taking up a lot of my time.
Gotta go, talk to you soon.
Thanks Gren. Best of luck with RL. Take care.
Hopefully you didn't perceive my appreciation of Detourne's skope as if i was dissing your work or anything, Gren. Just want to say that it's far from it, and that i appreciate all the work you've done.
Try not to worry about making meshes, when you have important things to attend to in RL. Thanks again and take care.
I believe I sent those out for FFVTR already.
I demand a Detourne_me skin for that!! :angry:
finally playing catchup here grenadier. thanks for all thqat you have created for everyone.
Glad to see you still meshing Gren. Thanks for the early X-Mas gift.
Thanks for all the new meshes Gren, I really love what you did to the Absorbing Man, and the new Ares is incredible. Also i think this is the first Maximus the mad mesh/skin so that's great, finally someone to pester black bolt!
Gotta agree,very cool stuff :thumbup:
Awwww yeah,gotta make a Titania skin now :D
thanks gren :thumbup: :thumbup: fantastic work as always!!
Like usual, fantastic works, Gren! But Zeus and especially Ares are MASTERPIECES! Time to adjust U.S.Agent hero files...
The Absorbing_Man Pack brought me to :cry:
Wonderful meshes as always Gren. The Absorbing Man Pack has one issue though. The Giant_FX contains your MAX file instead of a character.nif.
Again, thanks for all these great toys.
Shoot. That wasn't my intention. Oh well. Anyway the file is fixed, and thanks everybody, I'm glad you like them.
Do I have more planned? Absolutely. My creative juices haven't run dry yet. When is the next release? Haven't decided yet, so stay tuned.
Gren! You skinned Tiberius, yeah? That came out so well. I love the Inhumans.. Gorgon is awesome. Ares is great, too. The love you put in the Absorbing Man meshes is evident. I love how they came out.
I have a question.. not a request!.. I was wondering if you were contemplating Medusa? She seems to be the only major Inhuman left.
QuoteI have a question.. not a request!.. I was wondering if you were contemplating Medusa? She seems to be the only major Inhuman left.
Yep, I have her mostly made. Her hair is a pain. I'm trying different ways of animating it and it's not making me happy. Worse case scenario, I may have to keyframe it manually. I would have released her by now if not for that.
I skinned a few others too. Some good some not so good, but we're working on it.
superb as always gren, i never can guess what you're planning next
i'm still grateful you meshed one of my fav random guys years ago, which i really need to reskin, but it keeps getting pushed back so i can play with all the new stuff lol
I have mentioned lately how happy I am that you returned? Great stuff here Gren, especially Ares and Maximus.
Leir AND ARES! MY God man I love you.
Hah! Thanks everyone. Hey AA, I was impressed with your skoped Ares and skin, so I had to think hard as to how to make him more bada$$. I thought a minigun would do the trick.
As a sidenote - being my own worst critic, I wasn't happy with my first she-hulk. So I remapped her and fixed some of her animations. She's okay for now, so I uploaded her.
Quotei'm still grateful you meshed one of my fav random guys years ago, which i really need to reskin, but it keeps getting pushed back so i can play with all the new stuff lol
Boy, do I know how you feel, as tedious as it is making them, it's fun playing them.
I still plan on redoing the silver samurai, along with standard armored samurais. I have been studying how their armor is setup and it's pretty interesting enough for me to want to try and make low poly version of them for the game.
A giant Absorbing Man? A Maximus the Mad? Boy, that Benton Grey fella has some influence. :lol:
I really only know the core group of Inhumans, but I keep expanding my collection because your new meshes (Leonus, Timberius, etc.) look so cool.
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you're feeling better.
Quotethat Benton Grey fella has some influence
It's that aquatic telepathy he learned from aquaman.
Him and herodad seemed to be on the same track as my creative urges,
I'm just happy your interests track my own! It makes your releases that much more enjoyable. I like looking at what everyone on FR does, but I get a special thrill when you or another creator pops out an obscure character like Arsenal. The Eternals and Deviants are some of my favorite characters because I'm a huge Kirby fan, so of course I'm thrilled to see them.
Thanks again, Gren!
Haha, most powerful mind on the planet, yeah! Gren, like most humanoids, is descended from sea-life.
Seriously though, Gren, you are amazing. First, he's generous enough to create that AMAZING Maximus mesh, then I just asked this guy a question about one of his meshes, and BAM, brand new version shows up in my inbox. I think I've chosen the right time to be working on my Marvel mod, as Gren is just creating an unbelievable amount of amazing stuff. I'm constantly having to go back and change things out because Gren has created new versions of his already fantastic meshes or specific meshes for characters that have never had them. It's just awesome! This new set is fantastic. I'm going to have to find some way to bring the Greek and Egyptian gods into my stories...ahh, too many great toys to play with.
This latest batch of awesome has also given me some new Inhumans that I haven't come across before, and just like Hoss, I can't resist trying them out. I'm thinking that Gren's just expanded the scope of my Inhumans related FF missions...Y'all don't know how many times in my modding career I've wanted to tell a specific story or use a specific character, but had to do something different because the art assets just weren't there. Now, all of a sudden all of these obscure Marvel characters that I wanted to use have their own meshes and skins. It's so cool! I STILL can't believe I've got a dedicated mesh for Korath the Pursuer. Who'd have ever thought that'd happen?
Also, I feel you too TUE, I think my favorite part of modding is building the characters. I could just goof around in the RR for days, but sadly the missions just won't write themselves.... :D
:EDIT: Ohhh my goodness....I just downloaded you new Swordsman, and I cannot BELIEVE how amazing his animations are! They are beyond fantastic! :thumbup:

now that i'm looking forward too. its not the modding i mean honestly i have no idea how to create guys in game, its the character choice. my to do skin list just gets bigger, guys i had an interest in but never thought i would do jump up the list, shoving re-dos like hordak down again
keep it up gren, guys like you and tomato keep me working lol
Karnak crashes my CTool. Is anyone else having this problem?
With each update to Vista I become less capable of running and enjoying :ffvstr:. I also can't load Iron Fist version I and Elektra. I dont' know what is going on, but I have chalked it all up to Vista because I hate it.

Run them through the Conversion Tool and they should work fine :)
Not for me they don't..and I can't figure out why.
What group/site are these new meshes on? I see a post from Grenadier from December 2011 that doesn't mention anything about Absorbing Man/Zeus/etc, then suddenly everyone is all excited about meshes on January 13, 2012..
I'm lost. Halp? :unsure:
Gren's new meshes can be found on the Champions website (http://ffcenter.net/champions/) or at the last few of his yahoo groups (14, 15, and 16, I think).
Fantastic work on the latest batch Grenadier!!!
Wendigo is just perfect, his power animation is astounding, i can't wait to have some battles with wolverine and hulk now.
The modeling on arcanna's jackets is so great too, her sleeves look amazing.
The only issue i have is with Pluto. for some reason i think his right thumb is connected to his hip. it kind of stretches out during animations. Regardless though, you did a great job skinning him, his face is fantastic.
Oi, Gren! I needed an updated Pluto mesh sometime ago for... a project I wanted to do. Now you bring one out? You're doing this to torture me. :(
QuoteThe only issue i have is with Pluto. for some reason i think his right thumb is connected to his hip. it kind of stretches out during animations. Regardless though, you did a great job skinning him, his face is fantastic
It's odd that it doesn't show in max, but nevertheless, I re-physiqued the hands and tested it for conversion.
It should be fine now, just dowload it again and run eznif to convert to :ffvstr:.
Thank you for catching that. Next update will most likely be next month.
wow. you sure are a great skinner, gren. I'm amazed by how quickly you've gotten to that point.
Fantastic work, Gren!
You are a grand master!
Great stuff Gren, Wendigo is especially impressive!
OH MY DOG!...A new Wendigo?!...Must check him out! I'm also digging your Pluto...Great work on all of them, actually, Gren!
Dana
Thanks for all this fun stuff, Gren! I like how you just make me wanna skin.. them Squadron Supreme ladies are in my sight. I've never heard of Commando before, but that mesh/skin combo is pretty sweet.
Hey, quick question: What does the AS before the Wendigo mesh stand for?
QuoteHey, quick question: What does the AS before the Wendigo mesh stand for?
It stands for Alpha Strike, I was reading up on Alpha Flight and the villainous team they were against was called Alpha Strike.
They consist of The Master of the World (Playtesting now), Vindicater II(done), Wendigo(done), Ranark the Ravager, Purple Woman, and Citadel.
Ooooh, from the recent Alpha Flight mini-series! That makes sense.. thanks!
Sweet new meshes Gren. I really like the new Wendigo. :)
Great stuff Bren! I have been having a lot of fun with your Olympian lords! Love Pluto! Are u planning others? Also, huge fan of the squadron supreme!
Thanks for all u do!

Since you failed to deliver, on your side, any questions or inquries you have about a mesh will only delay those meshes indefinitely. You don't deliver, you don't get jack, and anything you ask about goes on my SOL list. Want to ask about anymore meshes that no one will ever get, because you asked? Say thank you SCD.
And it's Gren, scrub.
Thanks for more Squadron Supreme meshes Gren :thumbup: !
Love the new Wendigo :thumbup:
I still have your original,man that was a long time ago.
All the new meshes look awesome as usual.
Ultimus! Seriously Gren? It's like you've been spying on my notes for the Marvel mod! I decide to use some fairly obscure characters in this or that story, and all of a sudden there are these beautiful Gren meshes for those guys. That is quite awesome.
Thanks for the new meshes Gren. :)
many thanks for the fantastic toys Gren! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Another great update, thanks Gren!
Nice new stuff Gren, Ronin is pretty cool.
Great work on these Gren. The work on Living Laser's helmet and Crossfire's belt really stands out
Kree Sentry! That's so awesome! I love that robot. Crossfire, Living Laser.. fun stuff. Thanks for the release.
Thanks everyone,
It was a slow month in terms of creativity, I'm glad you liked them.
Sooner or later I'll get to the tougher meshes. I just got to find the right motivation.
-Gren
Note: that order of the owls assassin looks pretty interesting, but we'll see what happens with the storyline. It's been pretty good so far.

I know a certain skinner whose name starts with a 'M' and ends with a 's' (with the middle being 'ur') who would be very happy about that. I would too.
so I literally just found your mesh page and my jaw dropped, i've been downloading new meshes like a giddy kid who just realized it's christmas, I know i'm way late to the party but damn, as always amazing work, i'll probably spend the rest of my evening just downloading and playing in ctool :D
Gren, they all look very cool, I'm really excited about the Kree sentry!
Dana
I've missed so much during these couple of years...
Nice to see you meshing on a regular basis, Gren. I don't know if I've ever said this, but here it goes: I've always admired your versatility and how unique each one of your meshes could get. With specific keyframes to match. You've contributed tremendously to this community, and I'm grateful for that.
I don't want to digress, so I'll limit my praises to your latest batch (even though there is so much stuff at Champions of Freedom I don't even know where to begin). I particularly like the Kree stuff.
