Would anyone be interested in taking this on? I will skin it.

Seconded like crazy freakin' go nuts!
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.
do it anyway and I'll skope it crazy (if you dont mind)
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.

Yes, Thor, you can 'skope it like crazy.

Holy Crap!! Thanks. I am skinning it now!
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 sounds like a bloody good idea :)
Freakin' awesome! Thanks YL!
I'm looking forward to this one!
Here is the skin I came up with.

That's a bloody nice skin :cool:
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)?

I would say that is one of his manta shaped guns..... :huh:
if i made that gun and exported it as a 3ds, could it be skoped onto black manta? (i just reinstalled max 4.2)

Sure, it can be!
you want i should? or i could try making some of the other weapons.

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.
What Im loving is everybody here is taking part in creating a cool character good work guys!
The skin looks great.
I think I'm going to work on that neck though - I'm not crazy about the bendiness.

Ah...but the Trident is unique.
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.

is this close? any suggestions? of course, i'll fix it up to be skinnable when finished. looking for feedback.
EMOSEWA!
That looks pretty well perfect to me, Bearded. Ha, I'm getting really excited about this.

Me too! :D
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.
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?
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!
mechanical shark
LOL! We'd better not open those floodgates, because I've got too many requests for denizens of the deep....
Ha, Here I am planing a Black Manta riding well umm...a Manta and bearded released?! Not on my watch. :P
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.
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...)
