ORIGINAL POST:
I backed up SC 2.5 and managed to convert everything using tools made available by the community on the RSI website. Hoping to find other TESTies that do the same who want to collab. BUT.. in the mean time I'll share random things via C4D viewport renders and later nicer renders.

[CosmicTrader]

Vert nice.
What exactly is the point?

 

[DirectorGunner]

Custom images for TEST propaganda, and short films type stuff.

 

[CosmicTrader]

Cool. I look forward to them.

So this ugly Kilrathi is what's being used in the pilot seats of the vanduul ships for 2.5 and looks like 2.6 also lol

 

[DirectorGunner]

Old vanduul version that's in 2.5 and 2.6

Same Vanduul... naked

 

[DirectorGunner]

And you thought Space Crabs weren't a thing? lol

 

[DirectorGunner]

Epic vray failure... and this guy's not happy about it lol

That is a Kilrathi if I have ever seen one! Was that actually pulled from the game data? Very nice and never going to be seen in combat throwback.

Yep game data, still! lol
I made a post on reddit about it where a lot of people chimed in about the details and history

I learned a lot about Substance painter and vray materials in the process :)

I like it. Can we name it Fred?

 

[DirectorGunner]

Yea sure! his name is now Fred! lol
I'll be making more of these with the different suits and can change the faces as well.
I added some more stickers and changed the legs a little bit.. baking Fred's textures out now.
If possible, I'm seeing if the community texture conversion expert will be able to reverse my tiff's into SC compatible tiff so I can load them in offline mode to do some machinema. :P

 

[DirectorGunner]

I have no idea yet why this in SP:

Turned out like this for render:

not happy... grrrrr!
Soon as I can figure this out... I'll do more characters and start doing ships... first something small like an avenger or m50.. then the Bengal.

 

[DirectorGunner]

Just a viewport render, but here's a variant of the female explorer

... not to be.. well... but... that thigh gap though.. :sunglasses:
