That just means you haven\'t visited the main site Planeshift.it in a long time
(Hint: Don\'t press \"skip intro > >\" )

OK, I\'d like all your opinions on this: Besides clothing, skin color, & head (hair & ears)
How much different physically are Ylians, Xacha, Nolthrir, Dermorians, Lemur, Diaboli, & Ynnwn?

What I\'m saying is that these races could have the same 3D Model for the body, just have a different model for the head, different texture for the skin & different clothing.

Do they really need separate body models? Are they really that much different from eachother?

(I\'m thinking Enkidukai, Klyros & Krans are going to be different from the rest, dwarfs are not as different, but for them to look right, they need different proportions.)

Having the same body model for most of the races does have many benefits such as you can apply an animation to any character of the same body type. Also helps while making clothes & armor, you do not need to make 12 different armor models anymore (one for each race)

In the game, any model can be scaled to any height really easy, so height isn\'t any problem. For males there could even be 2 separate models, one muscular & a not so muscular one. Not sure how much difference the female model would need (not an expert in female physiology. )
Things like muscles & curves could also be defined in clever texture work....

I\'d apreciate pointing out anything different about them that would need consideration such as; \"Diaboli have tails\"
Here is the Races Page on the main site. (A few of you may even know what I might be planning....)

Well, my true form is that of a talking arctic fox, but I can transform into just about anything, can I join? I know a spell to make inanimate objects talk! It comes from an alternate reality, but principle should be the same, well I might need a banana to make it work.... (where am I going to get  banana )

[Since there are no other foxes to my knowledge in Yliakum, I figure my character comes from an alternate universe... :]]

I\'ll turn into a large battle axe & everything!

[I should model a axe now... .. . .. ...done in record time!]



[*edit* ineresting side note, it just so happens to have 256 faces.... I really should get some sleep, well \"If you hang out ith crazy people...\" ]

hehehe, actually It ??hough the entire atmosphere of the two games feel kind of similar, but it\'s the people that really make the difference... That doesn\'t make Planeshift un-original.

If you want to talk about copycats, compare the movies that Disney/Pixar & Dreamworks came out with after Shrek....

Welcome back, you I still have to hug you for that spear mod.

I was sure this was generally PS related... oh well...

Anyway, thanks for the hug!

If you need anything else, I\'ll try to make the time to do it Karyuu.


Ohl, & please to meat you fury cat (neko kyouran) I just started learning Japanese, so I looked up kyouran in my dictionary-mo-jigger...

 

Well, you new people probably do not know who I am, & I was probably more well known to frequent #planeshift & #ps-mc on freenode, but to those who remember, I\'ve returned...

Well, I didn\'t really plan on leaving, one day I sort of fell through a whole in the \"world.\" & was lost to Oblivion (fun game) & many other things... I still have a ton of stuff going on, but I started to miss my hobby of 3D Modelling...

Anyway, a couple of days ago I started getting emails about the ps-mc thread getting active again & then JosePheonix sent me an email wondering were I\'ve been... So I guess I\'m back here...

Basically, I rarely never spend any time playing Planeshift, but instead spend it making 3D models & other mods to the game. You may see me around ps-mc.com or the fan art forum, or on freenode, (If it will let me on, keeps refusing my connection...)

So that\'s about it...
Oh, & If I\'m to disappear again, have a couple people poke this thread, (I\'ll get emails about it...)

PS: Anyone mind telling me what I missed while I was gone?

 

Games I have played, only the first couple of quests in the game are doable in a row, but once you have completed a couple of them, you get to the point were you are not strong enough to complete the next one & you have to spend hours training just to get to the next quest, & by that time the exp/money reward for the quest is not usually even worth it.

So, I say that you should get more & more relative exp for doing quests, if you spent 2 hours on a quests, you should get more exp then if you spent 2 hours endlessly fighting monsters.

You should be able to advance just as fast or faster only doing quests (even accounting walking time from npc to quest & back). And there should be enough quests so there isn\'t a gap were you have to endlessly kill monsters. Also I\'d like randomness in quests (such as finding a certain thing, it should not be in the same place every time you do the quest so it\'s unmapable...)

One thing I am wondering is, what is the polycount on the Klyros? From this I say it would be upwards of 2k to 3k or so...

I was just wondering, after we have all playable      s, are we going to have some of the older ones re-done with more detail? because compared to this, the other      s could definitely be improved as far as their geometry is concerned.
