Costum Swag

What's up fellow Heroes and Villains

I am here to propose the idea of costume swag, not sure if this has been brought up and I don't care if it has. My Idea is based off the same kind of swag you get from Rockband. This Rockband costume swag has your character on T' shirts, posters and you can get a small statue of your guy in a few poses holding your preferred instrument. I've been teetering on this for a while now and now that I've found a 3D printer on the web I decided it would be the right time to post this. As a community I think we can provide are guys at Paragon Studio's some extra income buy buying costume swag. Making shirts and posters with the City of (place game) on it would be a way to advertise as well show your pride as a gamer in our community. I my self would rather pay Paragon Studio's or 70 or so bucks for a statue of one of my lvl 50's then get one of my RockBand character. I spend hours on my characters costumes and would be proud to show them off.

Although this post sounds like a marketing campaign I wanted to post it to see what my fellow CoX people thought of this idea. I my self wish I could improve my skills to start making paintings and sketches for the players that make up the community, but I'm not skilled enough yet.

Been brought up before. Yes, to more "stuff."

The 3d printer bit, IIRC, depends on the output that can be gotten of the characters, and I don't *believe* we can put them out in a compatible format without a *lot* of work.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Good point the character models of CoX aren't as detailed as the rockband one's... but a 3d modeling program tweeked to improve the detail of the CoX base like more defind fingers and what not shouldn't be to hard to come buy. Namly when it comes to making money off it. I send the Idea to Posi just to get some feed back from a Dev really just for a my own thought process to see what kinda strings would have to be implamented on the companies side. Another Idea would to have a separate program that is loaded with the same costume options as the game and you can inport the costume file of the character you wish to have made into a statue and useing a directory like system that matches the parts used in game with the parts in the program to render a better model to be printed. I did the gandering and from what I can tell the 3d printers program is able to red files from good number of other programs and I've seen it make a niffty statue of a nude.

Once my skill develops I'm going to be selling paintings ands and other artistic renderings of CoX toons just because I love the game. I would just like to have some swag like a poster or T'shirt with my Character(s) on it.. I think it would be awesome way to show my pride for the game.

IIRC, one of the major problems with using a 3D printer for CoH models is how thin the geometry can get sometimes. See: skirts, capes.

I would buy little action figures like this of my toons.

The thin part is pixelization do to resolution if you upped the res it would solve the that problem. That reply gose back to haveing a separate texturing/modeling program would also solve the issue.

Yeah I could put my work on a shirt but I'd have to get a airbrushing kit and such or pay outragus amounts of cash to get my work on a shirt.

Lego version of CoX player characters would be awesome.

Forget T-shirts, I want this kind of deal with my favorite characters on it. I'd pay quite a bit.

I would also pay a bit for a set like that Stone. I'd just like to have NCsoft or Paragon studios to make custom swag so it'll go back into the game.
