Cardboard Tube Showdown zombie model

[Anavel Gato]

Here a new model for the Cardboard Tube Showdown MOD (http://www.obeythetube.com) that I am running...

 

This zombie player model is modelled by Zaron3d and skinned and rigged by my person.

hehe nice work guys!

Thanks

 

Thought for a while about giving the CTS characters a more cel shaded/outlined look like the Clone Wars MOD look.

 

Does that really make the poly-count twice as high?

[Psyk0Sith]

Yes, most of the time it doubles the polys, some "lines" can be deleted to cut down.

I should do a test with one of our models because I do like the look of it.

But I dread the thought of having to redo the rigging of all of our player models that are ready

Cell shading is kinda like doing LODs, you dont have to re-weight anything.

 

Here's a quick how-to:

 

-Save your character to a duplicate max file (lets call it outline.max)

-Get rid of the tags

-Rename the skeleton (use renamer helper to add a _1)

-Rename body parts (i call them "_outline" like hips_outline)

-Save, then open original max file and merge outline.max

 

I suggest hiding the original setup (or use the name selection rollout to hide/unhide parts of the rig)

 

-Remove the _1 from the skeleton's bones (renamer helper)

-Flip the normals of every mesh (the "_outline" version of course)

-Add a push modifier below the skin modifier (scale down like -0.9)

-Create a 256x256 black jpeg and assign to the outline

-Unhide original player model and link the "outlined" children

(hips_outline is linked to hips and so on)

-Try to export

Thanks!

I'm gonna try that out this week and will post the result.

Thje player models are all about 2500 polys right now so I gotta do a little bit of a cleanup of the cloned/outline mesh.
