Ive almost finished learning advanced weight mapping in 3ds max for a personal project. After lurking around these forums, eventually making a few posts regarding sprites, suddenly realized making sprites is actually incredibly easy for anyone who already has access to military/scifi models and knows how to rig, map, animate and render. I am one such person, and will soon be rigging and animating my stuff for the personal project I mentioned. All I have to do is render each animation cycle out as single frame an boom there are your sprites Im certain Goldhawk used a similar process. The only issue here is I dont have access to the original models/textures, so any new sprites would either be from my personal collection or community supplied. I also wouldn't mind making new simple low-poly models specifically for you guys as long as there not a bitch to rig, map an animate. If all goes according to plan, we could see a substantial number of new custom sprites for weapons, vehicles, armor and enemies. At that point I would step back and let you guys handle the code work if you were up for it. [edit] Post process of the renders should also be fairly easy when using a Batch Process in Photoshop. http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Batch_Process_Images_in_Photoshop

First, let me say that this is the most exciting project I've seen in a long time. I am loving the way this game plays, I love the way it makes me feel, I love everything about it, except one thing: Is is it possible to give the player the option to change the color of the uniforms to something OTHER than powder blue? Black, olive drab, maybe even red, like in Apocalypse? Powder blue? I realise that one of goals of the game is to create in the player a sense of harried desperation, but honestly: are the forces of humanity so harried and desperate that we didn't have time to change out of our pyjamas? I don't mean to hurt the feelings of the person who decided on this color, it's just that whenever I see the uniforms, I think about either pyjamas or '70s-era leisure suits. On reflection, I realise that the choice of color might be meant to mirror the blue worn by UN troops, but even in that case, only the headgear, and very occasionally body armor, not the entire uniform, is blue. If someone's already addressed this with a mod, kindly point me to the thread and shut this one down.
