Woah, these are way cool!
Ramona is totally pulling off the elbow pads!
Maybe the raised fist on the jacket could be a symbol for showing "appreciation and respect to the folks that have shared their work with us"... R.E.S.P.E.C.T!!
It's been a pleasure seeing the hard work you've put into Ramona's universe. Your dedication and loyalty to her is inspiring. I look forward to seeing more and thanks for sharing your wonderful imagination and vision.
Thank you for the feedback on the elbow pads, that what I was hoping to hear the most and you're the first person to mention them. Maybe I'll get around to fitting them better.
As for that fist, MissMorose did an amazing job removing it from the back of the jacket and I actually managed to make the one on the left breast look more like a grease stain.
Thanks, and back atcha - thanks for sharing ol' Doom Motor and the Cutting Crew with us. It's been a lot of fun seeing all of your cast as they develop too!
Thanks for sharing that pic, looks like MM hooked ya up real nice with the edit there. It does look like a grease stain.
I'm very grateful for all the support you've given me and thank you for taking interest in my characters.
Thanks again and see ya around the nexus-sphere I'm sure!
Thanks TC, see you around! I might even have an update soon.
Plus! Don't be surprised ppl are missing you
Wastelanders just love ya
(green ones too!)
If you say so, I won't argue. I've never really thought of myself as anything special. It's not a lack of self esteem - I'm secure in who I am and all... I guess it comes from having been a loner most of my life and when people did notice me it was to try to bully me.
Thank you for your kind words, please say hi to Foxey for me.
Also, I remember making that custom vest texture a good while ago - glad to know Mona still gets some use out of it. ^^
Yep, Mona has four different vests in her wardrobe box, the original blue and black ones came first, and then the named versions were only a day or two behind and they still see rotation.
I also wanted to thank you for making those videos, I believe that seeing how to do something is in fact
much better than reading about it. I am sure some people will be very grateful to you for those.
One question though: Are those holstered guns a part of the model? They look very nicely fitted and I doubt you would be able to look at the clipping if the gun was actually holstered in there.
No, those guns are not static models added to the holster, they are "real" functioning game weapons. I spent a little bit of time getting the placement right to accommodate as many possibilities as I could. The holster itself is very large which lends itself well to holding a wide range of weapons.
The task of placing the holster required a lot of trial and error - test it in game and take a reference image, then go back to Blender and make some adjustments, export, and put it in game again for making another reference shot. Most details/models don't see more than three or four iterations before I'm satisfied with them. The holster placement required nine revisions to get exactly where I wanted it.
The videos are fun and easy for me to make and I'm glad they're helpful. I learned a lot about Nifskope and Blender from videos myself, they made the written directions much easier to understand, but what helped me more than anything else was a good friend encouraging me every step of the way. MissMorose gave me the courage to take each step forward and see that the only thing really holding me back was my own hesitation. That is why she is my hero and I will be forever grateful to her.
If I can help others to take their first steps, I'll gladly do it.
You cannot use the cubemaps (those textures located in texture/eve/effects/cubemaps) from this mod without Weijiesen's permission. For the rest, do what you like. As far as I'm concerned, my mods can be considered modder's resources. Just please stay respectful and remember to let me know if you use anything from this mod.
Yep. Most of them say so in the perms tab, though some don't mention it. All you need to watch out for is stuff specifically credited to someone else.
It is definitely a good practice for anyone considering releasing something to verify sources and permissions. A lot of creators ask, like you have done Dragbody, for a quick message. That way any misunderstanding can be quickly cleared up.
I've seen some uploaders go so far as to include screenshots of PM's from content creators or statements of permission to use stuff in a mod's description in their own file images to make sure they've covered their bases. I believe I have seen a case or two where a model or texture was reported as used without permission when the owner had either accidentally ticked the wrong box [guess it's kind of hard to tick the wrong box on purpose] or forgotten they'd given permission.
Excellent work Brig, especially with the riot armor breastplates. I always found the original versions too top-heavy.
Oh, and thank you for the Clapton links, one of my all time favorite artists
Funny you should say Ramona is a real person... she certainly talks to me while I'm playing video games too. I was playing SpecOps: The Line just a little bit ago and this really evil person asked me to put him out of his misery and he dropped a .44 Magnum revolver to do it with. Mona convinced me to let him burn
and save the ammo for something more worthwhileto get an achievement for it.Please, don't hesitate to ask for help before getting to the tears stage.
Great to see Ramona getting out and active, she looks good all round. I like the idea of a wardrobe showcase.. I may have to follow suit one day with similar
I know I'd love to see your crew in individual spotlights and wardrobe showcases. It would be cool to see them just being themselves on their own time.
I hear you. I really wish I had the time to comment on everything I think is interesting. But sadly that would leave me no time doing some stuff on my own. And with 3 characters at sea - ehrm desert- all wanting to tell THEIR story, I'm constantly feeling short of breath!
As for the rest - well, most of what you say is greek to me. But I am very impressed at the result. And the thought process leading to thsi is very interesting. Mona must feel pretty spoiled
As for Mona being spoiled... I like to think I take good care of her, but sometimes I wonder if what I put her through outweighs the things that I give her.
