I announced him as my next project last November, but between the holidays, work, signing on to the Doom3 HexenTC and having to learn Zbrush to do it, I've had to slow down work on the Professor while dividing my time between other projects.

But I haven't forgotten him - feast yer eyes... on THIS!

As you can see, he's in game OK and his sounds and anims seem to work well. Almost TOO well. I thought it would be funny to have him fall asleep on every idle with a soft snoring sound, but when you actually play as him, hearing it over and over again gets kind of annoying. So I think I'll soften the volume on the actual snores to make them audible, but non-intrusive.

There are still some things that have to be done. I have to compare his size/scale to other models in game. I still need to make the ragdoll, I still need team skins and shiny bits on the metal, and I still need to assign all the weapon/effect sockets. But beyond that, he's almost ready to go

His voice pack is big (12,000kb) but he's got nearly fifty taunts.....

PS - I lost my password because I haven't posted here in a while. I'm supposed be be "slyrr7" but when the forum sent my my password with the 'forgot your password?' protocol, it somehow set my name to "~~~~~" and the 'edit profile' section won't let you change it!! How can I reset my name to "slyrr7" or do I have to make yet ANOTHER profile with another password/etc?

You mean you used Zbrush to make the model? Can you post a wireframe please?

Mr_Caravaggio - he uses Max 4 I believe. He's learning zbrush for highpoly modelling for newer games that use normal mapping.

Hmmm, it's for the d3 mod then, I thought the wording was a little strange for me.
