Black Manta mesh

[billdamn22]

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

[BentonGrey]

Seconded like crazy freakin' go nuts!

[yell0w_lantern]

You didn't want keyframes with it, right?

[BentonGrey]

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

[yell0w_lantern]

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

[Mystik]

do it anyway and I'll skope it crazy (if you dont mind)

[billdamn22]

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:

[BentonGrey]

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.)

[yell0w_lantern]

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!

[GGiant]

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

[YoungHeros]

That sounds like a bloody good idea :)

[BentonGrey]

Freakin' awesome!  Thanks YL!

[Jakew]

I'm looking forward to this one!

[billdamn22]

Here is the skin I came up with.

[YoungHeros]

That's a bloody nice skin :cool:

[GGiant]

That's one cool skin!
I have a question though, what's the thing Black Manta's holding here?

I would say that is one of his manta shaped guns..... :huh:

[bearded]

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!

[bearded]

you want i should?  or i could try making some of the other weapons.

[GGiant]

maybe you could make the trident bearded mesher in lair.

[BentonGrey]

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!

[yell0w_lantern]

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

[GGiant]

as we already have several tridents available for skoping.

Ah...but the Trident is unique.

[yell0w_lantern]

Neck is fixed.

[bearded]

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.

[BentonGrey]

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.

[bearded]

is this close?  any suggestions?  of course, i'll fix it up to be skinnable when finished.  looking for feedback.
