Batman, Incorporated Meshes (Updated 11.22)

[Starman]

Oh wow, nice work on those, dude! Scorpiana, in particular, looks great. I love it when someone nails a tricky comic character design for Freedom Force. I also like that you are creating the heroes AND their corresponding nemesis

I'm keeping my eye on this thread ... you are whipping up some very cool characters.

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks, you two!

@Starman: Glad you like it! I wanted to have at least a hero and villain per booster, so if and (hopefully when) I finish the whole set, we can pit an entire army of Batman Incorporated heroes versus Batman Incorporated villains. Thanks for looking in!

[laughing paradox]

Scorpiana is awesome and I love your poster for DLC content! It made me smile. Nice job on the whole group, really!

[vorelliwiseau]

Nice to see a fellow fan of obscure characters! The poster was an exercise in GIMP - I've always wanted to do one of those comic book event teaser thingies, plus I added some DLC promo-speak. Thanks for dropping by!

[windblown]

Fantastic work vorelliwiseau! Scorpiana in particular is awesome.

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks, windblown! I just now had some decent amounts of free time so it took me real long to reply. Anyways, I have a few skinning jobs to do before getting back into Batman, Incorporated - this next set is a breather set, hopefully. Keep an eye out!

[vorelliwiseau]

Hi, does anyone have a barebones copy of Nightwing VXCasSkp by BlkCasanova247?

Champions of Freedom seems to be down and I have Podmark's Nightwing skope and Gren's trusty Fighter mesh,  but I'm curious if someone out there has it. Thanks!

[Randomdays]

I'll have to look around when I get home, if you don't have it by then.

[Amazo Version 2.2]

just out of curiosity, what do you mean by a "barebones copy"

[Cyber Burn]

Not sure what you mean by a "barebones copy", but there are 2 Nightwing skopes located here:

[vorelliwiseau]

Sorry, I just meant I was looking for the original Nightwing VXCasSkp by BlackCasanova. I read Podmark's readme for the DCNU Nightwing and that particular name came up, so I thought I'd check it out.

Anyway, Cyber came through once again so I may have all the resources I need for now. Thanks, you guys!

[spydermann93]

just out of curiosity, what do you mean by a "barebones copy"

Usually barebones refers to a stripped-down or vanilla version of something; a basic template of sorts.

He's probably asking for the original, unmodified version of the mesh.

It's that time of the month again, so here's the Batman, Inc. Paris Booster Pack!


DISCLAIMER: This promotion is intended purely as a work of "fan art" and in no way is intended to compromise or otherwise infringe upon the copyrights held by the owners of the character. Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. All Batman and DC Universe characters and merchandise are property of Warner Brothers, DC Comics, or their subsidiaries and licensors.

It comes with Nightrunner (A Nightwing+Batman hybrid), Korrigan (a Poison Ivy-brawler), and The Son of Man (Paris' art-obsessed answer to the Joker).

I modified Korrigan's duds a bit to not make her look too much like sexy Ronald McDonald, (and for her and Son of Man not to look like Bizarro Steed and Mrs. Peel), but one can only do so much.

Have fun! Pics and Sources below the spoiler:

The upcoming stop on the Batman Inc., world tour is a two-part engagement, a personal favorite of mine. It was hell deciding to split this one up, but you know, learn to pace oneself and all that.

Anyway, next stop on the recruitment trail: England!

[Podmark]

Cool! I always liked Nightrunners design.

[spydermann93]

I am just in love with your Promotional Posters, vorelli.

They are just so neat and they get me excited as much as your actual meshes/skopes do.

[Starman]

Once again, great work on the French characters are there any plans to do Le Bossu and, um, the killer mime guy?

Looking forward to your take on Knight & Squire too!

[Cyber Burn]

These are fantastic, I'm really impressed with the quality of pieces that you making in Blender.

I am just in love with your Promotional Posters, vorelli.

Agreed, the posters are just awesome.

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks, you guys! Always a pleasure to whip up some old Bat-characters. Glad you like the poster, too!

@Starman: I've always wanted to do the mime dude! He, Le Bossu and The Musketeer are gonna have to go together, I guess. The Club of Villains is something I'd really like to tackle.

[detourne_me]

These are just fantastic man!
I was wondering though,  why doesn't nightrunner use that great gun you sculpted?
Also,  Son Of Man is freaky! i might have to read more about him!

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks for spotting the grapnel, detourne_me!

I wanted to do like a Spidey web-pull for that, but I haven't really progressed to the point where I can rig a mesh for such a move. I understand it has something to do with shrinking the weapon. Maybe when I finish the first half and go 'round for improvements I'll animate the gun.

As for Son of Man, yeah, his whole shtick's totally about the absurd! Not much to read about him, though. I just wanted to see how much I could pull off with a Joker-style skope. Hope you like it!

Hmmm, Gren's Batman mesh has a "Yank and Pull" animation, or something to that effect, I wonder if something could be done with that?

[laughing paradox]

I really like the stuff you've been putting out, V.

That Batman Inc. comicbook cover looks great! Nightrunner and Korrigan are very cool looking, but I'm really mesmerized by Son of Man. He looks awesome.

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks, LP! It's been a blast skoping the Batman Inc. villains. Their mesh pieces are fun to work with!

@Cyber - I think I have Gren's Batman mesh - Once I finish the first half [the pre-reboot characters and all that] I might swing around for some character improvements.

Also, I've been Rumble Room-ing Batman, Inc. (Mr Unknown, Gaucho, Nightrunner, other Bat-personnel) versus the villains, and the Dark Knight's so-called "army" has yet to win a single match.

Maybe because I set El Sombrero to blow his wheelchair up sky-high once he gets kayoed, and his reaction to every external stimulus is grenade but holy crap, maybe I'm biased!

=======

On another note, has anyone done a:

1. rotund_trenchcoat, or something of the sort? I brute-forced Ewzzy's trenchcoat_versatile into a male_belt_staff keyframe set and it's working dandy, but I'm just curious.

2. female mesh with a slingshot? I was messing with the positioning of Eve's bows and I think I might have something there, but I was wondering if there were any specialized characters. I searched the megalist and frworld for Carrie Kelly, so if anyone has leads, I'd appreciate it!

I was also looking at Grenadier's "Crossfire_Gren" mesh since it has the pistol on the back of his belt.

As for your other two requests, I don't believe the first has been done, but I thought I had seen a Carrie Kelly somewhere (Minus the slingshot though).

[vorelliwiseau]

Yeah, I sorta kinda also remember a Carrie Kelley somewhere...I'll start with Atomic Robot's skins and track something down from there.

As for the slingshot, I guess I could whip up something in Blender. Thanks for the help!

[windblown]

Wow! Those are super cool, and I really love that last poster. Can't wait to see the next batch of characters!

[vorelliwiseau]

Thanks! Really appreciate the poster love - hope you like the next set just as much!

Anyways, update: I just finished adding all the mesh pieces I need so it's basically skinning from here on out. Next post comes with pics - I hope.

No Cyril Sheldrake this month. Really, really, sorry I had to cut Knight for this set!

Those with rotten fruit to throw at me, please step to the line on the right. Those with tin cans, glass bottles and other non-biodegradable objects, the end of the line is outside the hall. Heh, heh.

Anyway, sorry again - I wanted to stick to the 3-piece loadout! Pace yourself, and whatnot.

Anyway, I finished this pack early and am working on Knight right now, so please expect Squire's buddy to pop up sometime mid-December!

===============================

With that in mind, anybody know where Grenadier's original Batman_Gren is located? I thought I had it, but it turned out it was Podmark's Batmen [Wayne and super-sweet Grayson] that I had.

The megalist pointed me to Grenadiermeshes14, but it's gone - I'm scared Grenadier might have taken it down already. Does he have a site archived around? Thanks!

[BentonGrey]

Those are all awesome Vorelliwiseau, and I really love your promo art.  It always looks like a teaser for a mod, and I sorta' want to play it!

[Podmark]

Beryl! Sweet!
And the other two look great too.
