You didn't want keyframes with it, right?

If it could take male_basic variations, that would probably be great, right?

I could rig something up. It'll look funny with weapons though when you use regular MB keys.

If it's easier to do without the trident, any number of gun wielding keyframes would work splendidly. I look forward to seein' this. Thanks. I can't wait to do the skin.......... :thumbup:

I'd suggest doing it with less of a pronounced neck, he looks a tad giraffe-ish in that image.  (sort of like Ross' weird version.)

I have a male_basic compatible black_manta done. No gun or trident, sorry.

P.S Bildamn, you can skope that on the male_basic_staff just find a trident and replace the staff if you'd like. :)

That's one cool skin!
I have a question though, what's the thing Black Manta's holding here (http://www.edlimitada.com/images/black%20manta%20jla%20alex%20ross%20figuras.jpg)?

if i made that gun and exported it as a 3ds, could it be skoped onto black manta?  (i just reinstalled max 4.2)

maybe you could make the trident bearded mesher in lair.

Well, one of his unique guns would be of the most value, as we already have several tridents available for skoping.  I personally really liked the weapon he used in Justice, which is in the picture above.

The skin looks great.
I think I'm going to work on that neck though - I'm not crazy about the bendiness.

Neck is fixed.

i'll make the gun first, then the trident if there's a need.  good to work with you again, lantern!
i'll start it tonight.

Awesome Bearded!  I can't wait to get my hands on this Manta.  I might even make up several different versions of him to take advantage of all the options that the new keyframes and new weapons will provide for him.

That looks pretty well perfect to me, Bearded.  Ha, I'm getting really excited about this.

i carefully made the gun out, then i apparently exited without saving.  bah.  no worries, i'll make it again, while it's still fresh.  gonna make it longer, thinner, and straighten out the insides more.
Title: Re: Black Manta mesh
Post by: BentonGrey on January 05, 2008, 10:28:30 AM
Hmm....that would probably be even better Bearded.  Man, that stinks though!

it's in my group 3:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Beardedinlairmeshes3/files/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Beardedinlairmeshes3/files/)
named gun.3ds
skin name extras.tga
something for you to get a head start on, while i make the wireframe.
what next?  the trident?  or the other gun?
Title: Re: Black Manta mesh
Post by: BentonGrey on January 06, 2008, 11:54:09 AM
Well, since I've already gotten the one I wanted most, I'm up for whatever!  I'm just trying to think of different powers for Manta to use when he shapeshifts to use his other weapons...this will be AWESOME!

I can't see the texture anywhere on your yahoo group, bearded one.
Nifskope can generate Wireframe, but sometimes the wireframe doesn't fit so I'll have to edit it to fit a skin.
Title: Re: Black Manta mesh
Post by: bearded on January 06, 2008, 02:41:21 PM
i don't have a texture for it.  it just needs a silver looking texture named extras.tga.

it's to bad weaponmaster doesn't work for  :ffvstr:.  didn't tommyboy have a fix for it?  it seemed like weaponmaster was working for his buffy mod.

Actually it's a slashing weapon (seems to have some kind of electic arc in it so it might also be somikd of tazer though how that works underwater is beyond me...)
