I've been able to find Ironclad but have the other 3 been done?
I believe Toxic-J created skins for the U-Foes. You can try his yahoo groups.
I've found X-ray but it seems that Vector and Vapor aren't in the yahoo groups. Any idea on who did those?
I did the U-Foes way back in 2004. They are in my Yahoo group, but if you don't mind, I'd like to update them. After checking them out again, I'm almost embarrassed. I'll get working on them right away, if you can give me day or so. I've been meaning to update a lot of my old skins and this is a great kick in the pants.
new u-foes sounds really good! :thumbup:
Yea! Updated U-foes! Exciting stuff! I actually started on a Vector, a while back, but didn't finish. He's a complicated guy to get right, with all the stripes and lines and what not. I'm really looking forward to this.
Does anyone know where I can find MHV_Ironclad by Grenadier? I checked the Yahoo groups, but it's possible I could have skipped it.
I have it if you'd like it :)

I've actually been using you're tempest skip for vapor, I know she's your original character, but the skip is just too cool.
Also, where could I find the male_basic_aura mesh you used for x-ray?
I actually thought about using the Tempest skope for Vapor. I also thought about doing two skins; one normal or partially gaseous and one in her complete vaporous form. This is what I had decided on:

I apologize for not getting these done sooner, but I wanted to release them all at once. I was going to finish up Vector tonight. I am more than happy to do whatever you guys think is best for Vapor. I'd hate to give you all something that falls short. I have X-Ray done, but I have to agree with Swingman, those lines are a pain in the rump. I eventually just got lazy with the skin (but a certain Giggling Ambiguity did ask if I wanted any help, so maybe....). I switched to VXmale_aura because the aura was skinnable as opposed to the previous mesh. The mesh I used on the first skin was from the male_basic_aura 11 pack. It can be found here: http://www.fxforce.com/HEXEDMESHES.html . Everyone who hasn't already done so, should definitely check this site out. There are a ton of still awesome meshes/hexes.

That X-Ray skin is dynamite! It looks great with the aura. I may have a better FX file for you to use for Vapor.. it's less bubbly and more smokey. I love that you alpha'd the legs to make her look more incorporeal.
Awesome X-ray. Really well done, and like laughing paradox, I think the alpha'ed out legs is a great idea for Vapor. I like where this is going :thumbup:
these looks awsome! cant wait to see the others! then...cant wait to get them. :lol:
Amazing! Your work is always impressive, hoss.
Okay, gang. Here are Vapor and X-ray. I did a little work on the FX for Vapor to try to make it look more misty. I included before and after pics just for @#$%& and giggles. They are at my Yahoo group: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/hoss20/

I'm still working on on update for Vector, but there may be someone else working on one, as well. (Ahem, LP, ahem)
I'm sorry it took so long.
Great release. Man, that Vector skin better show up soon enough. I was going to make some excuse that every time I try to skin him, my mouse gets pushed away.. but that's kind of nerdy. :)

Aw, man, that's exactly what was happening to me! :lol:
I was really hoping you'd come through, because I just wasn't in the mood to do all those lines and objects and make them all correlate top to bottom and front to back. In all honesty, I was thinking "Do I want to invest all that time, when LP is going to release a better version right after me?" I'm just busting your chops, my man. I see you've been busy with the Femizons (which rock, by the way).
i tell yah what makes a cool looking ironclad. take gren's ulik, strip it all down and apply his old ironclad skin.
