windblown's X-mansion

[windblown]

Glad you're liking these ones, but I wanted to remind everyone that many parts on them are imported from mobile games over FF meshes, so that's the reason of them looking good.

I'm pretty busy because of real life issues lately, but I've just thought of previewing something that I did while I was working on Cannonball last month, just in case that someone is interesed on it. I modified the previewed head to get Sam in different moments of his life (from his New Mutants days to the X-men ones):


Sunspot evolution was in the works, so if you like this one, I'll preview him in the future when it's finished. I have other not finished skopes, but I think it's going to be a while until I can finish them.

[Podmark]

They look great!
I've always found Cannonball to be one of the most interesting characters in terms of his various face/hair changes over the decades. Particularly his big eared farm boy beginning.

[windblown]

Still busy with rl issues, but yesterday night I had a couple of hours, so I tried to finish an unfinished project:



This Banshee opens his mouth and has an fx in some animations (just like my Banshee skope for Murs or my Siryn skope for DJ).

Man, that is so freakin good, windblown! Amazing stuff!

Great work on the head, love the fx

[Podmark]

That's a great looking Banshee. Excellent job on the mouth.

Honest to gosh on your April comment there, I tear apart mobile game resources among any other like a fiend and it is the single best way to learn how to anything yourself. More I steer away from it now when I can "but" it's only because I feel comfortable with what I picked up from doing it. I mean these are the professionals so there's only a benefit of digging in deep and seeing exactly what their methods are. I think I see it reflect in your own from scratch work, I can typically tell when I part comes from another source or not. And above all else I have a mantra that says "whatever looks best/will be of the most use to members of the community". Like Tiger Claw just now (almost a year and half to finish it though, yikes!) from "me". It's almost entirely made by someone else and they in turn (I read a bit of this) were given stock models from the CGI series itself to work with. So by the mantra there was not a better fit for me to pass to people here that want Tiger Claw in Freedom Force. It's the right way to do this as far as I'm concerned since in the end it's all about the joy anyone derives from what we've put together.

Amazing. Your skopes are always so good and the skins are top notch.

[windblown]

Just a preview of something that's coming in the future, I've been working on getting different heads/faces for my characters and got this team done:



They're the main characters of the New X-men team: Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, Hellion, Anole, Mercury, Dust, Pixie, X-23 and Rockslide.

They are simply beautiful

[SickAlice]

A site filled with Ninja Turtles and X-Men. My two favorite things. Can't wait to have those running around the Rumble Room. You can look at those faces and identify who they are straight away.

[Podmark]

Those faces look perfect!

[hmarrs]

Crisp clean and Beautiful.

[BentonGrey]

Wow, those look gorgeous, WB!

[windblown]

It's been a while, but last week I found a model that I liked a lot and that inspired me to get this character updated:

Polaris:

Polaris is one of my favorite mutants and I liked her inclusion in the X-men team after the first Hellfire Gala. It's a shame that it only lasted for a year. I'll update her classic costume eventually.

Happy New Year to everyone.

[detourne_me]

All of your X-work is soo gorgeous.  Really hoping for a release soon, as I'd love to try out the New Mutants you've made.

[SickAlice]

Can't wait for dl. I have plans to make some X-Men, specifically I want to do some Hellfire Gala outfits but I really want your stuff as a template for them.

[eluvium]

Wow, Windy (windblown) good job, really just wow

[windblown]

New skope: Alani Ryan aka Loa, a hawaiian X-men student with the power of molecular distortion, she can "swim" through solid matter making it to crumble, an aggressive version of a phasing power.



This character has been a background student most of the time but, for a short time, she was Namor's sidekick and a member of the Defenders (with the likes of Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange).

[Podmark]

Looks great!

[windblown]

Thanks Pod! Glad to see you're still around


Here is another mutant with an special phasing power: Simon Hall aka Neophyte, one of the youngest and more compassionate Acolytes.



Neophyte is a phase-morpher able to merge his mass with other objects, he can use this as a means of transport, letting him travel over a distance through uniform surfaces (for example, he can touch one brick of the outer wall of a building and appear on the roof or inside of it).

[SickAlice]

Any thoughts on when you plan to uploads/dl on the site? I'm not ready yet myself but I am tinkering with X-Men characters and in a lot of cases I want to use your nif and keyframes as the bases for the costumes.

[spydermann93]

rad skope as always, Windblown!

Never heard of this guy, but that power sounds really neat!

[windblown]

Thanks Spyder!


Another preview today, Alisa Tager aka Cipher:


Cipher is an X-men student with stealth powers including phasing, invisibility, inaudibility and telepathic immunity.

Any thoughts on when you plan to uploads/dl on the site? I'm not ready yet myself but I am tinkering with X-Men characters and in a lot of cases I want to use your nif and keyframes as the bases for the costumes.

With my last computer change, I've lost most of the keyframes that I had , and I need to remake them again (and I'm slow because skoping keyframes is more boring than skoping meshes for me). Besides Emma...what previewed characters are you more interested in? I'll move them forward in my list or I'll send them to you if they're ready.

[Podmark]

Great job on Cipher. Always impressed by your ability to find great hair.

[SickAlice]

Ouch and sorry to read that. I just backed up all of my files to USB yesterday actually out of fear of that very thing. I always keep a SATA bridge on hand though and tear out the laptop hard drives due to losing stuff in the past, it's a life saver. Mostly interested in any of your standard X-Men stuff like Magik, Emma, the popular characters just I can have mine match the animation sets.

[windblown]

Sarah Ryall aka Scanner, a member of the Acolytes able to become a 'living hologram' with bioelectric abilities.

[Overstand]

I know this is not the place, but I would to see you ply your talents toward the Fantastic Four.

[windblown]

Wicked is a Genoshan mutant able to summon ghost-like entities from the energy left behind by the death of living beings.

She was one of the survivors of the Sentinel attack on Genosha, then she joined to the Excalibur team assembled by Professor X to rebuild the island, but eventually she got depowered by the M-Day. She recently appeared, fully repowered, helping the Krakoan Marauders to summon the spirit of Kate Pryde's father so she could talk to him.

[UnkoMan]

Incredible all around! Wow.
