New player model

[chizilu]

So I saw the new player model and I thought I would make one myself

tell me what you think, I made it with the head slightly bigger for helmet texture, but I did hear that soon helmets will be seperate right?

Thanks Chizilu

Has it been confirmed that schemas changing the player model, or is this a suggestion. If it\'s going to be real than YES! If not then Schema, if you don\'t add this millions of children will cry themselves to sleep at night!!!!

Interesting model but I don\'t really like the square-head style, I know it\'s a voxel game but it\'s not really all square since we have wedges, unlike Minecraft which is really square with stairs and everything.

The head is also a bit too big, if you were to add a spacesuit helmet over it, it would look silly.

The body is nice, feet joints and everything... the knees could use a wedge shape though :P

About the head again... you could inspire from low-poly old games, like: http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/2/27/Scientist_models.jpg



Also, it could use some optimization, for example, you don\'t need to split the top-body which makes additional cutting in the texture and more importantly extra polygons, a single face is enough, same thing for head\'s bottom face and wrist-to-hand face... unless if the 3D editor splits them automatically and you\'ll be optimizing regardless if accepted.

I don\'t think a low-poly model like that would cause extra load under any circumstances, a few faces more or less wouldn\'t matter a thing.

It\'s beetlebear that is doing the new player model. there is an image of it on his twitter.

So I found a pic of the current idea for a new player model on chizilu\'s starmade tumblr and this one looks incredibly better... although I might lower the amount of pixels just a bit to get a more... voxel-ish look. Mostly though I really like chizilu\'s head changes. It might need to be shrunk a smidge but the v shape on the original face was kinda\' strange plus it was a really really small square... so I think you should keep the back of the original head, flatten the face (like chizilu did) and make it a bit bigger...than it would be perfect

Guess who made this post here.

I just think you meant to say beetlebear\'s twitter?

If not then I\'m thoroughly confused.
