Nah maybe just the angle of that particular shot...no mesh edits were done except to uniform scale to UT2004 size.

[Skred]

No, I would'nt expect that from your work

[YourPackage]

I am debating which way to go on these characters...maybe you guys can help...

Gears of War for PC has higher resolution textures then Gears of War 2 for the 360 but the 360 models have a higher polycount.

So two questions:

Are there any issues with the current release's texture resolution?

And would the increase of texture resolution and/or the lower polycount be that noticeable in UT2004?

In the next update i can include the other models for comparision if you like.

[Skred]

I'd go low poly models, high res textures

[Rukifellth]

But Gears 2 got more characters. :S

[HideInLight]

Go for the Gears2 characters.

[L4Y Duke]

I'd prefer the GoW2 models, but so long as I get to play as Hoffman, I don't care either way.

As for team colours, why not change the colours of the lights on their suits?

[BuffyTheSlayer]

I really love this thank you !

[YourPackage]

Yeah the lights on there suits is a good idea for team skins for sure, thanks for that.

Meanwhile I tried out the original Gears characters with the higher resolution textures but they actually looked worse surprisingly.

I will just stick with the higher poly GoW2 chars which will make it alot easier to port them since they use one texture sheet for the head+body.

Again great shots Buffy!

[Rukifellth]

Say, this might be necrobumping, but has there been any progress? I'm getting a bit worried.

[100GPing100]

ye, some GoW2 models would be great, and for team colors you could use the lights of the suits

P.S.: Don't forget to make the 4 team colors
