    I'll look into that also but I cannot promise anything until I do

    Exactly! it seems that it was just overlooked and somewhat of an easy fix!
  3. Look into the Monstrous gloves situation. May be an easy fix. I will keep you updated.
  4. Hey guys, sorry for not posting more but I have been busy working on up coming exciting stuff! I have been also bug fixing but when I get a chance I am going to go through this thread and make some notes, I see a lot of good ideas here.

    Thanks ever so much for all the ideas and input!

    Sent off to QA.
  6. Samuel_Tow and Unknown_User: I just asked the Character Artists that worked on the Mecha Suit and the Olympian Guard Boots and they are "Working as Designed".

    I think the FX thread, I don't have anything to do with auras ^_^
  8. Fireheart: Sending it off to QA, tested it on my machine, same thing, wow, very old assets also.

    This should be fixed now.

    Did I miss something or am I to purchase that separately?

    Thanks in advance...

    It's under Detail 2 under Standard and Full Masks ^_^
  13. Thank you for all the input and responses ^_^ I have made a list thus far. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding it.

    Please keep this to character related ie: Costume parts and weapons-(aesthtics only).

    Feasible (Depending):
    • NPC ports - Since they are NPC's most are made specifically for that and will not work in the Costume creator, for future we are keeping this in mind so we may be able to port over NPC parts that will work in the Creator. So some may work and some may not, it would be a case by case situation.
    • Cheongsam (Would not be full but split)
    • Thigh High boots for men (Will look into)

    Not Feasible at this time due to technical limitations:
    • 4 legged toons.
    • Going back and re-working old assests (We need to keep moving forward)
    • Dynamic skirts
    • Glow options for patterns
    • Dinosaurs
    • Holsters, sheaths, etc (Unless they are empty or weapon contained will be rigid)
    • Adding Color palettes to creator
    • Having skin with 2 other color options, you get 2 colors max and skin will take one of them.
    • Asymmetrical patterns on tights
    • More than one cloth dynamic at a time

    Noted for possible consideration, however not at this time:
    • More Animal parts ie: Reptile, Primates, Insectoid, Bear, Fox, etc...
    • Muscular females (Looking into)
    • Bomber Jacket
    • More high res Faces no Normal Mapping
    • Hairstyles (30's, 40's, etc)
    • Cloth belts, more folds (Dynamic cloth)
    • New Masks (Many themes and 3d)
    • Sashes
    • Jodhpurs
    • Hats
    • Jewelry
    • Skull masks ported to male for Jackets
    • Quiver
    • More Montrous options
    • More Hoods
    • Tattoos (But they would be mirrored)
    • Multiple tails
    • Bandoleers
    • More of everything O_O

    Themed Costume set ideas
    • Plant
    • Egyptian
    • Native American
    • Mythological Creatures
    • Aliens
    • Ghosts
    • Warworks
    • Fantasy
    • Tactical
    • Aviator/Pulp
    • Sports

    Thanks for the feedback so far, and please keep the suggestions coming!

    Is this better

    Sorry bout that...lol I will post under from now on ^_^
  15. The body (Tights) and some faces (Clockwork). Anything that is it's own Geo may or may not be symmetrical depending on the UV layout. We can make asymmetrical pieces ie: belts but again, anything tight is mirrored.

  16. Just remember that the body is mirrored so whatever is one one side will be on the other ^_^

    Also symbols should have arm, leg, back, and head options, not just chest.
  17. Sure will, was going to do that anyways so everyone will know ^_^

    While you're making list's, could you make a small list with some of the ideas that are hitting the technical snafu?

    That way we have a better idea as to what's a feasable suggestion!



    FPARN!
  18. Wow, there are some great ideas here! I will have to go through this thread and make a list of stuff that is feasible. Some of the requests in this thread are not feasible due to technical limitations.

  19. Hello everybody! Welcome to the "All Things Art" thread, Dink Style! in this thread we will discuss anything Character/Costume related wether it be an idea for an upcoming pack or maybe just a question you might have.

    Before we get started let’s review the ground rules:

    1. Gotta keep it real: Ongoing development is always the highest priority, so my ability to respond to posts will also be limited. If you don't get a direct reply here, don't worry, I will try to read everything that appears in this thread.

    2.Patience is a virtue!: Posting on this thread won't necessarily expedite that special part you've wanted forever, but it'll at least keep it on the radar. We're always striving to give you guys what you want, but that comes in two flavors: variations on existing stuff, and brand-new stuff that expands the game into exciting new territory. Though we try to honor older requests, it has to happen as a part of overall development.

    3.This is why we can't have nice things: Certain things just aren't on the agenda, and why dwell on those when we could be talking about all the awesome stuff that you get instead?!

    4. Rein it in there, cowboy:Let's try to keep the dialogue measured and constructive. It's helpful to know what you like and don't like, but play it cool, y'know?

    Some of the other Character Artists may pop in here from time to time to answer some questions ^_^

    Have at it!

    And Dink, that's a bummer about the non transparent version. We really need such an option some day. If you ever have the time to throw an opaque bubble helmet into the full helmet category... that'd certainly help out!
    Anyway... Love the work you've done!!
    The chest box is fantastic!

    Perhaps someday we can do one in the "Think Tank" category
  21. DOH! I see there are some Forbidden Planet fans here....lol BUSTED!

    InfamousBrad: So there are only the 3 belts but there is a glow and non glow version of each one and the red button is a secret

    M_I_Abrahms: Pants are in the "Tight" category and they can be patterned since they are only taking on one color

    Glad you guys like the pack, it was one of the funnest packs I have yet worked on!
  22. Hey guys, sorry for not posting sooner but I have been quite busy wrapping up things and bug fixing.

    Here are some more pics of the Retro SciFi stuff:







    Just a couple of things, as you can see the Male has a couple of new faces without the normal mapping as there just was not enough time to work on high res models for them. The fan on the Back Pack will be animating. Notice the chest detail, it will be in all upper categories. Also notice the Bubble helm will also be in Full Masks for those Buzz fans...lol

    As much as I wanted to I was not able to do a non transparent version of the helmet due to skinning reasons and the suit top will only be in the Armored category due to uv reasons.
  23. Hey Guys,

    Just wanted to update you with the latest Retro SciFi goodiness!







    Have a great weekend!
  24. Wow! thanks so much guys! I really appreciate it I had a great long Birthday!
  25. Just another quick update before I am out of here for a couple of days off to celebrate my Birthday (Friday) I'll be gone until Monday so please play nice and be good



    Since so may asked I shrunk the back pack and you will be happy to know there is a version of the second back pack without the little pistons so 3 back packs will be available.

    Thanks guys for the feedback and comments!
