Title: A bit more character eye candy :-0?
Post by: SimonTheMime on February 20, 2005, 03:50:48 am: I really like what (the previous MMORPG I played) Lineage2 has done with their character graphics (example 1 (http://server2.uploadit.org/files/corleone-Valeriah2.jpg), example 2 (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/qugie/Cursed.jpg), example 3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/luvualwys13/Lineage2/LeatherArmorOfDoomHumanFemale.jpg), example 4 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/luvualwys13/Lineage2/DrakeFemaleElf.jpg)), maybe something similar can be done in the final PlaneShift when/if new characters are added?

Post by: Waylander on February 20, 2005, 04:15:31 am: Hmm, I would agree...meshing around is fun hahaha.

But we had a thread about the near nudity that was seaping into games...I\'m all for it...but thats because most were against it :P

Post by: PiVale on February 20, 2005, 02:07:17 pm: well, they shure look different :P

i think that in this kind of game, graphics aren\'t the most important...but hei! those ones are a joy to my eyes :D 8)

if we could have chars like that, fine. if we don\'t, we aren\'t going to miss it that much :P

Oh well I even prefer the looks of light elves from L2 than the fairy dermorians from PS :\\

Who wouldn?t want to see some of THAT in Planeshift :D

That probably sounds unfeasible, but I just think it would be nice to not have everyone in the same race to look exactly the same. We could just edit our race\'s texture files as a basic example. A more elaborant example would be a type of \"paint shop\", like the racing games have, that can be used to customize colors and stuff.

We would end up with a 10000GB game full of people running around with \"1\'m t3h 1337z0rz!!!!\" written on their faces :P

Post by: Janbur on February 20, 2005, 04:14:44 pm: Good point, I figured that it was unfeasible. It\'s really no different than the different \'mods\' I have to download for CoD or BF:1942. Those are set to auto-download. The only difference is that the mods are usually huge, because they are landscape textures or new maps entirely. I was hoping that the texture files for the characters were much smaller, but I guess in the worst case scenario, if there were 100,000 players that you encountered that had a custom skin, you\'d have to download 100,000 skins, and yes, that could be a problem.

Post by: Foresteer on February 20, 2005, 06:16:47 pm: Personaly from just listening around and getting a general feel of things its becoming a mainstream thought that onna these days a MMORPG is gonna have you naked till you find some armour or undies XD and personaly i dont mind it (online nudist colony WOOP WOOP!!) but with full character custimization (like body fat) that would be as disturbing as fun and realistic :/

oh well i would like some more eye candy (for the ladies too :) gotta be fair we get \"s3xx0rz ch!x0rz\" they gotta get some \"h4wt d00ds\" too :P)

Post by: Socrates Demise on February 20, 2005, 06:43:38 pm: Well if the new Krylos model tells us anything I think we will eventually see the higher polly count models in the game along with the customization...

I\'m not sure but I think the original models in CB were even lower polly count than the MB ones. (I for one didn\'t think they looked as nice anyway.)

I know they will try to make the game look as good as possible.

One thing I\'ve noticed is that the rendering engine can do allot more that the devs are currently asking from it.

Post by: Kixie on February 20, 2005, 07:52:52 pm: Nice models, but we have enough problems with lag and slowdowns as it is to have these high poly super characters running around. Great wish, but definally for a developement stage 2+ years off.

Post by: Genko on February 21, 2005, 10:05:51 pm: I would also like more fluid character movements (eventually!). When I jumped for the first time I was in shock.
