Bevo's Half N Half Meshes and skopes release thread.

[bevo]

As requested by Benton Grey Vultureman from Thundercats. Skin is a bit earthy but I think the meshed vulturehead turned out pretty well.

Next is Skeletor. I have a few more pieces to mesh out.

[BentonGrey]

Bevo, that's excellent, man.  You said you weren't pleased with the skin, but I think it actually turned out quite well.  You could probably lighten the skin tone up a bit, but other than that, I think you captured him in all of his ugly glory.

Awesome mesh Bevo! Can't wait to see Skeletor

[bevo]

Thanks Benton & Spyderman. Nearly done I just need to mesh his sword and ramhead staff. Ramhead is proving to be harder for some reason.

Anyone have an idea besides johnny patches method of adding the refl to objects? I have never had trouble in the past using this method but I can not seem to turn on reflection on rens superman. I hate to have to port all these bits and pieces over to another mesh.

[Cyber Burn]

  That looks great bevo, really nice work.

I wish I could give you some advice, but this is a bit over my head.

[BentonGrey]

He's coming along great Bevo!  That is really fantastic work on the skull there.  I'm afraid I can't be of much help either, though.

[area34]

What part of the reflection is not working? Is the refl/glow not in the Nitexture Property or is it an omni issue?

[cmdrkoenig67]

Love that Vultureman, Bevo...And that Skeletor is looking really good too.

I know a certain someone who will be very happy about this development (if he does not already know of it).  If I can locate my ram's head mesh, bevo, I would be happy to share it with you.  Good luck and keep up the good work!

P.S. I like the cameo appearance that Bram Stoker's Dracula makes in your working skin. 

[deano_ue]

hmm judging by the look of the wip, you're basing it on the 200x look of old bone head, if you want i can help supply and reference pics and the differences between his various looks. you need anything just ask

[bevo]

Thanks for all the great input and help. Thanks for the mesh offer Ow_tiobe_sb,  I just bit the bullet and finished meshing out the parts. I just need to transfer him to a skope with refl and glow this one is broke I guess. I sure can not figure it out.  In answering area34 it must be an omni issue. As if I even know what that means really but its seems to affect all parts. I have tried all the tricks I know, if you got an idea to fix would be much appreciated, reskoping the glowing eyes yeeck. I still need to tweek his weapons placement just a smidge.  UE he will need a proper skin. P Ha Ow_tiobe_sb very observant, cut and paste.

The 80s toon goodness is in full swing at Freedom Reborn!

[bevo]

I put it up on my yahoo group it is done. Nothing different besides he now has reflective powers on his skin and gear, and some other minor adjustments. He could use a better skin but I will leave that up to people who know how. The current should suffice until a proper one can be done, Bram stoker and all.

[BentonGrey]

Wow!  What a job, Bevo.  I imagine you just made TUE's year.  He looks great, man. 

Winters, isn't it fantastic!  80's 'toon glory is everywhere!  Ha, I can't get enough of this stuff.

[murs47]

That is incredible!

[Blkcasanova247]

Excellent work Bevo! What keys are you gonna use for him?

[bearded]

is that my skull in there? is he for  or  ? is it possible to make a version for  ?
thanks, he looks great.

[Blkcasanova247]

I think that that is Volsungs Atomic Skull.

[herodad1]

that would have looked good and worked well on a skope of gren's firelord mesh.

[bevo]

Thanks hope ya'll enjoy. That is indeed volsungs skull. This skope is for ffvt3r. I could make all the skeletor pieces available on my yahoo group and someone else could make a ff skope if people wanted. It would not be that hard just need to be able to see it in a ctool. Very rare I can manage to make one that works on both.

[deano_ue]

how skope able are the parts, i have an idea for 2 other characters that use his armour

by the way mate you rock for this

[bevo]

I put the parts up on my group. The parts are easy to work with. Basic -90 or 90 degree on main node to turn it in right direction. THen on the object basically the same -95 maybe +95 then some tweeking. Skope away.!!

[BentonGrey]

Too awesome!

[bevo]

Suggestions welcome on what to try next. I am limited in that I can only make objects and skope them to stuff. Animation not possible with maya nif plugin.

[Blkcasanova247]

Lion-O's Gauntlet and the Sword of Omens (small and large) would be interesting.

[deano_ue]

do you really want me to start lol

[bevo]

wingzero already made lion O I doubt I could do any better, the hair maybe could use a little rounding out. HIs sword and claw look perfect to me. Maybe Thundar Ookla Ariel? Ride?

[laughing paradox]

Very nice work, Bevo. I particularly like the Vultureman. The face on it came out great.

[daglob]

Someone has done Thundarr and Ookla, however, as I recall Ookla needed work.

[BentonGrey]

Wingzero's Thundercats meshes are cool, but apparently they have issues that give skinners fits.  Lion-O, however, received an excellent skope, so he's good.  The other Cats and their villains would all be awesome.  Ha, like TUE, I could list a hundred and one things.  I think that more Mutants would be cool, like Slithe:

The weird little headband and ears could perhaps benefit from your skills.
