Hey there me Buckos,
Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite mesh from the ToyBox (or other Renegade mesh venues), and why?
I suppose I could've run this as a poll, but I'm not really looking at this as a popularity contest. Just idle chit chat.
Vigilante. You really went all-out with that one, with the all the neat little touches (guitar, dynamite, lasso). Seems like a real labor of love.
Owlman. Loved all the detail that went into his cape and belt. Course, I'd also love to see you finish the group off as well, but that's a different story.
Gosh that's not a fair question.
I would have to list my favorites (plural).
Hourman - aside from the fact that Hourman is fraggin' awesome, the geometry and animations are spot-on
GL Hal V2 - beautifully sculpted geometry, clever animations including the pickup animation and lantern
Captain Marvel Classic - the cape is perfect, you captured the rounded bootcuffs accurately; heroic
animations abound in the KFs
Captain America Classic - the proportions are heroic but not too muscular.
Wildcat - captures the spirit of a boxer very well and it's WILDCAT!
Quick answer: Invincible. You should know why Ren.
I'll give a different answer later after I look through the site.
Hard question!
I think it's a three-way battle between Vigilante, Captain America Modern and Sub-Mariner. I still think Sub-Mariner's little heel wings and 'drinks glass of water' power-up animation are great.
The Namor with the moving wing.
Ok secondary response based on less selfish reasons:
Superman
Martian Manhunter
Captain America + variants
And the CM jr and Superboy SA meshes because they were excellent for my teen skopes.
Marvel- All the Captain America/USAgent variants, I love the keyframes for these guys
DC- Owlman
When I first saw Vigilante had FX that actually worked along with the mesh, I was blown away. It's unbelievably intricate and a lot of love went into that piece of work. Vigilante is one of my favorites.
Because of the Toybox, I have a renewed love for the All-Star Squadron/JSA. I can't stop collecting every single character from that team to have them fight Nazis in :ffvstr:. I wish you would do more (wink, wink) but I've been stoked with the stuff that's already there. So yeah, all the All-Star Squadron/JSA characters are my favorite.
submariner,cap, and martian manhunter.man....this was a hard question.there are so many great meshes.still looking for your doc doom.
cap, supes and your teen base meshes
So far, I'd say Captain Marvel, Superman, and Hourman. Though i really haven't seen your :ffvstr: meshes yet. :P But i'm betting they are all just as great. :thumbup:
This is a really hard one but I'll just go with Superman. Why? I just feel it really captures the character with it's spot on physical proportions and great keyframe set.
Not a real fan of Vig the character but the skin/mesh whatever is awesome.
Superman, and all of your teen meshes (even the outdated teen_14 ones) with the Cap meshes only slightly behind.
On another note seeing as its to do with the site, on the site they have a Majestic skin and what not, they need Omni Mans meshes (Character.nif and Keyframes.kf ?) but I make the skins folder and stick the Maj files in there and move OM's but I get a black and white OM. :huh:
What the hell is wrong? I thought I may as well ask here instead of wasting space with a thread. :thumbup:
But what are your future plans BTW? :wub:
Luke Cage V2, V4
imho, as always.

Its true the LC's are sweet.
after taking a re-look at your site, I cant believe i forgot about gl_hal, when that mesh came out all i could was dream of was you meshing the whole big 7 one day
and your hydra/aim agents are my mostly used hero file test subjects
Captain America stuff, Captain Marvel, GL stuff, but the best one in my opinion is E2 Superman!

Me, too. With Namor (the arrogant face made by C6, the wings, the glass of water), and Martian Manhunter (for kf and because I love J'Onn).
You already know my answer to that question buddy. And it just boils down to him being my favorite superhero.
Hero: VIGILANTE!
Villain: COMPOSITE SUPERMAN!
I might change this post and go back to Captain America!
my favourite mesh of yours was actually never finished. it was just extremely cool seeing skeletor at any stage in mesh form. and i'm still grateful you even took the request
thats the hardest question ever Ren.
hmmn... Namor is up there, I just love that arrogant p**ck, and Vigilante and Owlman are truly exceptional with keyframes and spot-on mesh pieces. but i think it was Isiah Bradley that really put you over the top, and every Cap mesh afterwards have been pure gold.
Hmmm...It's seems that the real question will be:" NON favourite toybox toy?"
The Penguin mesh, the Twoface mesh, the Mr. Freeze mesh, the Riddler Mesh and the Catwoman mesh....what!? :D.......Vigilante! :P
You've made a character that folks wouldn't really say, "He's my favorite Superhero!" ,loveable with spot on keyframes! :thumbup:
what a tease :P
Hey the toybox is closed again! :angry: Reeeeeeeen?
I hope its back soon I am going on a downloading spree.
Vigilante, Owlman, and Hal v2 hands down.

Hey the toybox is closed again! :angry: Reeeeeeeen?
Works for me.
it was down for a while, as was rens av and sig but there back now
So many fine meshes, keyframes and fx to choose from.
Too many.
I won't choose! I won't!
I want them all...
The New Avengers' Luke Cages, not because I skinned them but because they are amazingly sculpted.
Luke CageV5 being at the top. The way Coipel drew Luke is be far my favorite depiction of him.
I meant V5 even though it is listed as V3.
I can't pick just one favorite, so I'm listing four. My personal faves are (in no particular order)
1. Captain Marvel
2. Black Adam (I love his hover animation. You can see his disdain for ordinary humans.)
3. Captain America Ultimate Cap 2
4. Luke Cage v3
I like the green ones....
Actually its hard to pick. They are all so good.
There is something about the recent Cap meshes that somehow just capture the vibe of a "comic character" as opposed to a "video game character" I cant put my finger on it, but its there.
I will make an aside and single out those little animation touches you do on various characters (Namor, Vigilante etc...). Its those little things that really add character depth to your work.
Vigilante is amazing not just for the detail involved but in how the animations express the spirit behind the hero.
Course they all do that, which is what makes the Toybox such a great place!
So has anyone actually done a herofile for Vigilante? I would like to use it.
I had no idea Namor would rank so high with you people. Thanks for the replies, it's been enlightening.
My top 5 :cool:
1) Captain Marvel
2) Captain America Classic
3) Martian Manhunter
4) Hal Jordan
5) Omni-Man
3 way tie the Captain americas/Superman/Powergirl
Its really hard I love love love sooo many. Maybe Superman, Classic Cap and liberty belle but they're all so great it hard to definitively say. I'm playing and I so often marvel at some cool small animation a stance, how they hit the ground and get up, a cool dodge or just how perfect they look for the character.
You ask hard questions, Ren.
I'd probably list as a top five (with *many* close seconds):
Superman
Captain America
Captain Marvel
Liberty Belle
Shining Knight
Boy, it's hard not to expand this list. The teen meshes are great, in part because my daughter wants me to make a teen team for her (she's almost eight, but likes playing with teen characters), so you've given me a lot of meshes to work with there (at least for male characters).
A hexed version of the Shining Knight very nearly became the mesh for the new version of my av. It came in a very close second to Grenadier's Black Knight, but BK had a cape (and I like the power-up animation for the character).
Thanks for all you've added to FF and the community. You've helped make the game that much more enjoyable.
That reminds me.
Is there any hero files for shining knight and Vigilante. I would love to put them to the test. :wub:
Ultimate Cap and Sentry, best meshes ever made :D
My top 5:
1) Superman
2) Captain Marvel
3) Captain American Classic
4) Captain Marvel Jr
5) Vigilante
:thumbup:
the little details meshers put into their creations is what i really like.i never noticed namors ankle wings flapping until a short while back and it blew me away.martian manhunters phasing/translucance ability was just as cool.if you ever did the vision that transparent thing would really work well for him.
definitily Black Adam
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i forgot, the most perfect superman i´ve ever sin in my hole life of FF AND FFVsTHE THIRD REICH fanatic player
You definetely are the #1
As a connoisseur of fine Renegade Meshes...if you'll allow me....
Number One:
Liberty Belle. She's exquisite. Love the hair, the costume everything. There are very few perfect female meshes for FF(including the modeling, keyframes and skins)...but she's the one. Ink of course made some incredibly well haired meshes but alas...many of them have severe keyframe and hair synch something issues(at least in FFVTTR). Liberty Belle stands out because she is the perfect freedom force female mesh. The hair, the keyframes, the modeling....she's just fantastic. She is the grand slam in FF IMO. Extremely well done sir. I hope someday to see more female meshes from you.
After that you have varying degrees of well...excellence...it's really hard to choose. Obviously the effort you put into Vig shines through...pretty much all your Toybox meshes...you get the feeling you love every character you have made a mesh for at the Toybox. Almost all of them with their own unique little tweak to make them more than just an animated mesh. I guess if I have to pick the second best IMO, I go with the Ultraman Mesh...when he pulls that Kryptonite out(and as someone mentioned when you released it, I'd hate to know where he's stashing it when he's not holding it in his hands ;)), it's just cool.
Shining Knight, Luke Cage, Cap and the already noted Vigilante deserve honorable mentions as well.
As does Captain Marvel....
And Superman...
And Superboy...
And....
Having thought about it a couple of days, i can't decide. I can get enjoyment out of loading up any of your meshes into the character tool and running through the animations. As the golden age Atom hasn't been mentioned, and because I have a soft spot for Al Pratt, I feel that those meshes really capture that character. I also feel your THUNDER meshes are great too, again, because I have particular affection for those characters.
Superman is very good. I love Captain America, so I suppose I somewhat biased toward that mesh. I really think Vigilante is the best. However, I do have a soft spot for Firebrand and his see-through shirt.
Geez....there are WAY too man awesome meshes there to choose a favorite. I SUPPOSE I could say Mr. Terrific, the original one, or Hal........but there are really too many...
My Top 5 Renegade Meshes:
5. Sentry -- it's the flying animation, people! Sometimes, it's the little things...
4. Liberty Belle -- check out the cargo pants, folks! Sometimes, it's the little things...
3. Parasite -- check out how he throws his head back when he's leechin' power, folks? Sometimes, it's the little things...
2. Owlman -- when he slaps on the neural neutralizer, that just screams "Crime Syndicate," baby!
1. Vigilante -- Wow. Just...Wow.
I would love to use Vigilante and Shining Knight for myself. So has ANYONE got hero files for them.
I believe TaskmasterX (or it could be USAgent) has an HF for him. He's also included in my DCUG, on Ren's mesh.

I made a thread about something ages ago and people haven't replied to it in ages.
I made more progress in a day here. Better not to waste thread space. ;)
I do like the Superman on toybox know. :thumbup:
My favorite meshes are shining knight, Vigilante, owlman. the captain americas and the supermans.
I like all the meshes though.
My favorite episode of the justice league was an episode where the shining knight, vigilante and atom smasher are defending the base from a couple of infiltrators. I get to reenact that great fight scene that i have all the meshes. :thumbup:
Let me correct myself. My favorite Toybox mesh is/will be the Thing. I don't even need to see it. :P
hey ren when you gonna share your new toys? :P

hey ren when you gonna share your new toys? :P
Oh no! You've been trick by the conspirancy again!
NO NO NOOOOOOOO!
But seriously Ren when will that Thing mesh be released?
The Thing would be great...Classic Thor would be greater...Classic Captain Britain would be slightly greater...and Mr. Miracle would blow my mind. As soon as I finish reading Hypnotizing Freedom Force Meshing Gods For Dummies I'll make Ren do all of those. <bwahahaha>
Give me the book! :P
please dont talk about a thor mesh by renegade- :P you'll jinx it
I love 'em all, Ren. But if I have to pick, I'd say Hourman and Captain Marvel Junior, because they are favorite characters of mine, and the wonderful ankle-winged Namor. The Atoms are pretty sharp as well, as is Black Goliath.
Did anyone notice that Captain Marvel Junior, Mary and Cap aren't called "Marvel" at all on the new (and sharp) action figures. It's "Captain Junior," etc. I think it's sad that Marvel is so draconian about enforcing its trademark rights that it effectively steals the name from characters who had them long before.
I would also say Captain America, but since I lost my meshes I haven't been able to recover the ones for the original FF game. You seem to have only the FFVTR Cap meshes available (hint, hint).
Hmmm...let's see...Liberty Belle, Hourman, Crimson Avenger, Sentry, Iron Fist (seemingly inevitible since he did so many versions of Luke Cage), Green Lantern Hal, Captain Marvel, and Dr. Spectrum. Speaking of which, why aren't the Atom, Dr. Spectrum, The Ray, and some of the others that are in his Yahoo groups also in the TOYBOX? It truly wobbles the mind.
The Ray turned up in the ToyBox. I never got around to updating Dr. Spectrum. And TJ used my Atom as the base for his and added so much I didn't think I needed to revisit mine.
Are those Yahoo groups even still around? I never check anymore.

Yep...ye old Yahoo groups are still around. That's where I got the Doc Spectrum and the first Doll Man mesh!
You know... I've always really liked the NoMan mesh.
I'd be hard pressed to pick just one as a favourite, though. I've said it before, but you're probably my favourite mesher.
Well now... I like 'em all best!
Truly though, although so many of them show your great love of the characters (and astounding attention to the little details), I'd have to say it's MM.
I really enjoyed the use of modified Supes kf from your various Kal-El meshes. Those keys really restore Mr. Jones as a powerhouse! The defensive powers with phasing really blew me away! They still do.
Thanks for everything...but that one most of all. I actually always thought J'onn was under-appreciated and mishandled, until along came your mesh to make him alive, and then the JL and JLU series actually made him a person! No more Pinocchio Martians. Hooray!
Sorry, I haven't slept much the past two days.
Just wondering ... has Ren officially announced that he's doing a Manhattan Guardian? Because that would be plain cool. DC should really pick up that character as an ongoing ... he was the standout of Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory mini.

I've used Star Spangled Kid and Stripesy in the Rumble Room recently and they are rising quickly to the top of my favorites. I like the twist that Star Spangled Kid is the superhero and Stripesy, an adult, is the sidekick.
Sorry if this is kinda noobish but i havent been with FFVTTR stuff in like 1 year and i was wondering where exactly is the "ToyBox"?

thx dude and my Fav is C6's Spider men
I'd have to say Vigilante and Hourman.
You and C6 never fail to blow me away.
