Title: Hawkman mesh
Post by: The Raven on November 05, 2010, 07:56:40 PM
I'm looking for a Hawkman mesh, with muscular body, more weapons like mace, axe, shield... a modern Hawkman.

Tommy's meshes usually have weapons and shields hidden in the mesh.

The tommyboy mesh is good, but is sly... no mace... only a ballchain... no extra weapons...
The Beyonder mesh is better, came with a mace but have the same problems... no extra weapons...
I looking for a modern Hawkman with more weapons...

The _tv version has various hidden weapons, learn nifskope to reveal them.
The _tf version has a spiked mace, visible in the preview pic.
But it seems like you want a mesh that magically pulls out lots of different weapons in different animations, and I'm not sure that exists..

You do what I did with the old Harvey character Golden Gladiator (in a red and blue suit?): you do versions of him with different weapons visible and give the main character Shape-Shift.

Shape Shift is one of the FFX attributes. It allows a character to have more than one form. It takes a little time to set up, but when you get it working, it is worth it.

FFX is here (FF1):

http://www.mike.va.com.au/

and here (FFv3R):

http://ffx.freedomforceforever.com/downloads.htm

Nifscope lets you hide and un-hide parts of a mesh. It is fairly easy to use and is located here:

http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope

The Glowing Gladiator (Oops!) is here:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/characterobscura4/files/

He's in the Harvey Hang Out. There are several versions of him, each with a different weapon; the main one has the sword. The original character's sword could change into other weapons, so I did different nif files with different weapons visible.

I'm pretty sure that I did versions for both games.

Questions about FFX are handled in the Mods forum. Questions about Nifscope are answered in the Hex-Editing forum.

this got me thinking. take a melee animation with the sword and then copy it and rename it melee_2. replace the shrinking and growing sword with an axe.
you could use m25's keyframe editor to rename and copy the animation set as many times as you want, and then use nifskope to replace the weapons.
alternately, remove the weapons entirely, so the hands swing an invisible weapon. then create an fx with the sword.nif as the core.nif and a slash fx as the end.nif. repeat for different weapons. maybe a start.nif could be a glow around the hands. sometimes with this type of weapon changing, the weapon fx stays with the character for a while, he carries it around. i think it depends on if the animation is interrupted before the set completes.
a third and clumsy method is to replace streetlamps with a lot of different weapons.

I may be wrong, but I remember that Revenant was working on a Hawkman skope/skin. I think it had gloves, a mace, chest straps, etc. It was a while ago and I don't know if was ever released...
