Thursday with Means - Promised new Atrox Head render

[Snakebite]

I mentioned last week we had an example head (Atrox) that I was unsure if I had posted here. Here it is. Putting it in this weeks update would be cheating.

Please note: the transparency of the Atrox hair does not display correctly in this Max render but is correctly displayed in the new engine.

That is... Great! By far the most lifelike head we've seen so far I think.

I have to agree about the eyes tho, they're slightly off in some way, possibly too crisp in the colouring and the irises are a little large I think.

& the tattoo doesn't look like a tattoo, it looks more like something added onto a photo of a trox (is OmniTec still using photoshop???)

Other than those 2 items, I like it loads!

it's the iris, the iris is way too big. Plox no more manga eyes

I'm not singling you out, you just happened to post both of them at once so easy quoting for me.


The Eyes, and tattoo will not look like they currently do once in game, they have Alpha maps attached to them, which will cause them to render slightly different in game.

In game you can expect the eyes to show a bit of "glint" or the reflective quality that normal human eyes have from being wet.

The tattoo would be slightly duller, looking like something that was put on when the atrox was young but not touched up as it grew older.

"I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world."
"I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges."
"His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit."
"He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away."
"He transcends time and space."
"He sickens me."
"I love it."
"Me too."

Can we get an atrox head with a mullet?

I have this trailer park setup on my enf's social tab and its just not complete without the mullet.

[Towerblock]

Oh I also found it pretty hilarious when checking your nick on People of Rubi-Ka that you DO have the same head Means posted today...on RK1.

It very well may not have been you that made that character, but the name is still the same.

I didn't make that toon. That's actually an old orgmate of mine that went to RK1 and stole my name.

Avatar's over, you can take the 3d glasses off now. Seriously have no idea what you're looking at, the eyes look fine.

They should look 3d, I for one will be glad to see if AO can move past making everything look like it's wallpapered on to your character.

Agreed, it would look gay with wallpaper eyes. People who like that should be content with the current engine.

Sweaty Forehead

Thats the grey hair, silly.

I personally love the new head. Looking forward to see full body work also.

Seinfeld. My DVD's are all worn out (not to mention the VHS tapes). Also the USB disk with all the episodes I have hooked up to my BD player is making strange noises. WTB a BD release already.

And the head looks cool, next screenshots of these new heads in-game using the new engine pretty please?

[Amosco]

I can't believe I'm the first to say this:

Who knew the Chinese could give such great head...s?

[Neosh1]

nice head there, gj ao guys

[Autohead]

Tell us the truth Means, there are anonymous reports that you are paying the Chinese head makers with perlz...what is your response to these accusations?

[masterful1]

That trox has some serious pomade (or however its spelled) or styling gel in its hair!

[Dogtrauma]

Ooh, Thursdays should never be Fridays...


Unless it's drug induced

and it's really really NOT hair-care products whut produced the shine

[Alternity]

Good HEAD!

You bring that information to us as professional or are you guessing?

Except that it will look differently ingame, and after meeting various chars ingame there is a chance we keep paying attention to the eyes (most important part of the human body for this) after several hours of game. Or maybe it will look bad, but I'm sure sometimes proportions can be bent when it comes to what we will remember.

I mean, I tend to wait to see models in action before giving a final opinion. This one look expressive like the original, in a slightly different way, but it sure looks good. I wanna see the beard and hair ingame.

[Stigman]

That new trox looks like he has a cold :P

*Hands over some tissues*

OK, since FWM is locked for now and Means is in the mood to answer questions...

Means, should I reactivate Klodovik? And if answer is affirmative, I would also like to know why?

New trox head looks good, but the eyes are really bugging the hell out of me. I think the pupil is a bit too big, and so is the iris. Other than that, looking awesome.
