Miyuki [version 1.0]

[mel_danes]

Name: Miyuki


Version: 1.0

Compatibility: Unreal Tournament 3 v1.2/1.3

Description:
New Player model for Unreal Tournament 3. Miyuki is the first character of four I plan to do using the new Faction feature in patch 3. I would like to have a whole team. Miyuki model based on the collected manga works of Masamune Shirow and mech designer Yutaka Izubuchi.
Miyuki is the first in-game model I have made. I learned a lot and hope to use this knowledge to create new and better characters.

Comments:
This version does not have a custom voice or FP arms, I would like to add this content later. Once I have a better understanding of the Unreal 3 material system, and a computer that can handle this game better.

The following screen shots show her team colors. I have also included a piece of my concept art.

[Repent_]

Nice , i would never use it , But I can appreciate all the hard work put into this

Good job !!

[VoodooMaster]

She looks fine so far haven't encountered any problems.

[Lt Apollo]

nice, not my taste(i like the huge power armour my self), but nice. definitely see the manga aspect of the model.

good job

[=assassin=]

Nice work, I really like it Will there be a version without the Visor, or option to select/deselect it?

[geodav]

Nice one, i really do like people releasing Characters for others to play with. It's what makes UT so special, looking forward to see-ing the whole team.

ps. nice to be mentioned

C4rn463, Repent_....Thank you.

VoodooMaster....Excellent, I take it you have downloaded and used it then. I at first thought I had broken the skeleton when I used a hoverboard in VCTF, her neck stretches very badly. Upon further investigation it appears all custom characters do this. I would really appreciate it if you could report any issues you have with the character. Thanks again

Lt Apollo....Thanks for your comment. I as well like power armor, maybe you will use the next couple then.

=assassin=....Thanks for that. Yes a version without the visor will be made. In the final version she will have the visor, a pair of manga aviator styled shades, and a helmet to choose from. I'm working on a system that uses all the head parts to create a multipiece helmet design that allows for serious customization between characters.

geodav....Thank you for your interest and kind words. Your site has been very helpful in this whole process, and I being a 20 year 40k vet had to see it. I have thought of PM'ing you a couple times for advice or help, but I wanted to get through it once on my own first. I want to add a couple weapons and maybe a vehicle to my rooster as well, so that advice will still be needed.

Thanks to all of you that have downloaded my creation, and those of you who just stopped by to see it. If you have any thoughts about how I could make it better, or any additions you would like to see, please let me know. My e-mail addy is in the read me file.

[The Demon Slick]

Great looks, Nice hooters! Waaahhhh!!!

[mel_danes]

Thanks for the comments and the downloads.

Here is a taste of what is to come....I've begn work on the generic soldier unit, basically my default guy.

[Lt Apollo]

nice legs, cant wait to see full model. only thing that's kinda weird is the poofynes of the thighs in contrast to the thin leg and boot armour

It looks like lose pants and if you are wearing that and then put a big iron boot on the pants they can poof up on top of the boot if it forces the material up. Which if it does or not has to do with how you put on the boot.

edit:
Looks amazing btw.

The only thing that still needs work on the other character is the specular layer of the material. Its too strong and causes everything to be shiny and plastic looking. imo. Still great work though.

Great model!

I like the style and colours, look forward to the others
