These three (more like 2.5 really) characters where created for use in the mod I produced, as part of my major project at uni. Two of the models make use of my face and one goes so far as to make me look like Tom Selleck in a sombrero.

I got a pretty good grade from these guys, though there are a few glaring errors in the models. Most notable is the poncho worn on two of the models. Close inspection shows that the pattern runs across the back (of the poncho) in a rigid horizontal line, completely ignoring the flow and hang of the fabric. How I missed this one is beyond me. :)

The guy with the spiky shoulder pad, was originally destined for the UT2004 mod “Shattered Oasis.” However I decided that he’d fit nicely into my personal mod instead. He might still make it, but considering how awkward the weighting was (around the shoulder pad) a complete rebuild would be in order.

Shattered Oasis Development Continues

With everyone having drifted away from the project, it seemed as if Shattered Oasis was deader than a dodo. In reality it’s been more of an extended holiday of sorts as we recover from the burnout. With so few people working on the project, the Make Something Unreal Contest took its toll. :)

The good news is that development will be continuing, with releases for UT2004. Development for Half Life 2 has been shelved, which in some respects makes me quite happy. Now at least we can focus our efforts in a single direction.
