DBZ Tapion Elf Punk Character

[Kaal979]

Recently i discovered the strongest fantasy character at all!
Its somekind of intelectual elf apocalypse fighter with a
obvious desert tribal appearance mixed with punk hairs.
The flute player Tapion from some DragonBall Z movie -
a great allround fighter character with the great esprit.
Btw - im also knowing a similar guy namely Vincent
Valentine from the Final Fantasy series.

i remember this character maybe someone can make him into a skin
btw i found a 3d model for him http://tf3dm.com/3d-model/tapion-50886.html

The model from that link seems to missing a face texture, although the second texture looks like it could be remapped on the head.

[unrealloco]

found this on another site maybe you can use some of it

The second texture can be re-editted for face, the third texture can fix the gold headband next to his eyes.

P.S.: You can open pk3 files with 7Zip.

The textures that were posted look better than the ones that came with it.
I'll have to check out the other link later after work.

I checked out the q3a model and it seems to be in a pose, I'm not sure I could pull him out of it without spending a lot of time doing it.
I think the other model from tf3dm.com would be easier to rig.

The textures you 2 have posted may be adjusted to fit it to make him look better than the textures that came with it, not sure exactly.
The texture unrealloco posted may be the easiest to work with, although the texture that Kaal979 posted has a lot of detail that may be merged somehow,
maybe at least the face could be used because the detail is way better than the smaller version, but the mouth seems to be smaller than mouth on unrealloco's pic.

Nice - what a great project!

I ran into a small problem.
The textures need to be consolidated, I usually do in Blender.
When I import into Blender, some of the triangles are white where the texture should be, and when I bring it back to Milkshape, the same problem.
Somehow there must be a way

Im now also seeing thers a wrong hair textures!

Im now also seeing thers a wrong hair textures!

Indeed, I can fix.

I may have to look at this weekend, I'm tired tonight and need to figure out why some the triangles aren't showing textures in blender,
like flipped normals or something.

[Parkis G]

I still haven't figured a fix for this, I am looking to the Blender community to see if there is a simple answer.
The only other way is if I remap every texture myself in Milkshape.

Truly great - anime characters have always fitted in the UTs.
Okay - they kinda fit in any games but UT often seems to ask for it.
Btw - do you also play E.Y.E - Divine Cybermancy?
The latest update even added PvP modes!
Its alot like the old UT only pretty dirty.
