A few suggestions on the character part of the project

Hi again guys.I would just like to say that during my Babylon 5 3D-mesh madness i had designed a quite nice EA pilot suit on lightwave, and I was wondering if you were interested in it for any animation sequences, you know, vids and that... :)
Just doing my part.
And now a little discussion about the chars you made. They are wonderful and I would love to see some screenies of the EA suits you have made. I noticed that the collar is too big. It should wrap around their neck touching the skin. As I said Id love a few screenies. If you dont have time I could sit down and correct it. Hey I might ever start working on minbaries :) (I worked on LW for making Jedis :D and the pilot suit which I sent over to G'kane to add to his Starfury model but i havent seen him post it, tho it was quite good)
Also I was viewing the profile of the main character and he seems somewhat....hairless :P its just my opinion to put some top hair him :) and make him look like more...captainish! :robot: he looks more like a 2nd lieutanant, I think he should be a wee bit older, dont you think?Assuming he graduated in 2248 he was at about the age of 24-25, is that correct? so in 2259 he should be like 36 which is quite a good age for captain (trust me i know, i just finished my tour of duty in my country's army)
Captain Hayden for example looks perfect for his stature :)
Also jesinski.I know shes an officer and a captain following the standards of Ivanova, but you could try to make her look more....like a gorgeus-looking dangerous-feeling, strict and sweet captain like ivanova was during the last episodes. :D... on the other hand you can just let her hair flow and not have them in a ponytail :P (these are just suggestions and I dont judge your work which I very much admire and want to contribute)


Also another thing, you could try to add a few more characters (not necessarily of the main or of the good side). It will give us and you ideas about a few missions and all.A few more starfury wing leaders would be nice. (as u may have figuered out i was a great fun of keffer.Too bad he had to die, he was quite fun!)

Id love to help in designing the clothes of the chars if you want. Im a detail maniac. :D well if you wish so just reply to this post and ill send you whatever i have.
Im currently looking for screenies of the pilot suit in order for u to see.check back for details

    Ok... lots of comments there. :)

    You have a nice EA pilot suit? Sure, send it over! We take all sorts of contributions from the community gladly! True, the suit isn't much to look at - in fact, the only thing that's done of the clothing is what fits into the portrait... so forgive me if I don't have any better screenies :rolleyes: . Good comments on the main character, I have to admit he's looking rather young and could use some "weathering" or a drastic change to something more convincing. And what comes to characters, we now have about a dozen, including a civilian captain and a regular C&C officer. We intend to add many more. The sad fact at the moment is that time is luxury - I really don't have any. Not to mention that these things are lower in the priority list. I'm also a complete idiot when it comes to character animation and I'll die before I'm able to produce anything usable for something like cutscenes ;) Feel free to join the team and go for characters if you feel you're up to it! Currently the plan is to produce the cutscene material with the game engine and then perhaps add some nice effects with video editing software.

    So... any clothes you come up with, send em over. Preferably send em to [email]jusasi@gmail.com[/email] since my @lpt.fi mailbox can't really swallow attachments. You'll be credited for everything you create, naturally.

    edit: Here is a more textured mesh.I know i should smooth down the middle, but then again i had to smooth down the helmet and i did it- as mush painstakingly as it was
