March 2013 Custom Content Challenge: Heaven and Hell

[Legacy_Jenna WSI]

               Would anyone be willing to make the tiefling horns that curl to the side of the female head into a vfx, for this challenge?

               @Hekatoncheires - I'll have to check that out.

@Shemsu-Heru - Good idea, I'm going to play around wiht that a bit if I have time.  Great head.

So out of desperation for actual feather-lookin' feathers, I continued to remap the body with c_wingsbird.dds (also tweaked the UV on the wings) and I'm reasonably pleased with it.  I kept the legs dark.  I like it that way more.  I thought of adding the fur the succubus has on her legs (because now I'm using alpha-transparency) but I'm thinking that's not going to look like I think it might look.

               its based off the harpy - with a pretty female head it'll work well

               In the light of Merrickdad's recent purple worm release, which is a significant and terrific upgrade of Firehazurd's earlier version, would someone care to revisit a creature that has been released in 2003, that comes with very original creature animations and has been ignored for too long because of its poor texture ?

I present you Submer's Razorback Demonettes :







Texture (really low resolution, with few details, as you can see) :



I have some reasonable skills with tweaking models, fixing stuff like walkmeshes, non visible geometry and even animations, but when it comes to proper texturing (mapping complex textures on a model, let alone drawing them), I am unfortunately totally inept >.< If no one else does, I'll probably give it a try myself, but it won't happen before quite some time, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of this CCC to give these sweet monstruosities a quicker chance at returning to haunt us in our games.

Hrm, unfortunately one of the limitations of non-dynamic creature appearances is the inability to use PLT.  I would normally be able to use environment maps to color the thing, but the model I chose already uses an envmap for the spider legs and AFAIK, I can't add any more.  I agree that would be a great way to get variation.  I'm going to poke at that a little and see what can be done but the spider model (sword spider) I used (what's left of it) is about 80% or more envmap (on the legs).

I am always looking for ways to surprise players with more variations of the "same" (not just by tinting stuff by the way), so a PLT instead of a TGA or an additional animation would have been perfect, but I very much understand the reasons you're not going to go this route. I would like to assure you that your creature looks already very convincing to me as it is, and I will certainly find a good use for it.

Thank you again, OTR.

               What about a better Succubus, more human like:



Or add an Incubus:

No idea if I'll get done with this guy before the end of the month, but I thought it was decent enough for a WIP shot.  Looking over the Halaster model I misjudged some things, like how the hands would look when anything but super dark textures.  He does have a nice "menace" going, tho.
