Can haz costumes like these?

Found out about this today:

It's an add-on for character animation software, allowing the creation of all kinds of superhero/sci-fi/fantasy costumes. Apparently, you have full control of the materials, patterns, and surface textures, not just in terms of broadly-defined body areas (e.g. "top", "bottom", "glove") like in CoH, but in terms of smaller patches of the body (left shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, fingers, etc.).

If only the costume editor in CoH allowed this kind of flexibility.

Me like

O.O Hmmm...wonder if we can make the witchtop with that program.

Do you have any idea just how much processing power you'd need to have that kind of model in just a single player game?

Same. I would spend hours dressing up that yummy male barbarian alone ...

I saw an ad for this in my email last night. I think I drooled on my keyboard for the next twenty minutes as I looked through everything that magical mesh can do. But I do think it'd be insane in terms of rendering/system resources.

Biggest complaints of the game are the costume creator and the various AT's need more of their own role. Base % and inherent abilities arent enough to distinguish the melee AT's. It's redic that npc characters can have loin cloths and robes but we cant. In a game like this the players should be able to replicate anything a standard npc can have. Not saying make statesman clones or whatever. I'm fine with signature characters having unique helms/symbols etc.


That program does look pretty cool tho.

Looks like it only works for those two models, not any variations of them.

In other words it's probably a lot less versatile than it looks.
