Priss (BGC 2040)
polycounter lvl 18
Mesh standing at 3470 tris, skin using one 512x512 map.
Both are finished apart from some minor tweaking.
(And before anyone comments on it; Yes, 512x512 is definately
needed for the texture map to keep the lineart sharp, it craps
out on anything lower. I tried.)
I'm making this a high-quality Quake 3 model. (Hey, there are
4.5k models up and around, so a 3.5k should work right?
)
Already worked out a proper ingame cel shading using environment
maps as well.
Any thoughts?

I think the cell shading is pretty cool but may benefit from some more contrast on the metallic parts (almost white for highlights and dark grey for shadowed areas)
you could make it a cool ut2004 character using stock anims aswell IMO
I am working her motorcycle... Its for a contest.
to your model. It is very cool.
looks good, close to the original, although I'm not a BGC guru

Yeah, but there are two hitches preventing me from doing so.
One; I don't have UT2k4, so I can't test it or anything. And two; Stock anims would probably be a wee bit ugly, seeing as the foot and handpalm should not articulate independantly in this armor.
Come to think of it; It will be really interesting to do a proper crouch animation and proper gun handling animations on this model... Well. Atleast it's a challenge.
@Jerome:
Thanks for the compliment. ^_^
Nice bike as well. Is it 2040's Motoslave or 2032's super bike? I can't really remember which one looked like this...
Maybe when both are finished we should make a couple of combined shots. Would make for some nice footage, no?
I think the texture could benefit from being more than just solid colors and linework. I realize you said you were using a cel shader, but as it stands it's very bland and visually boring.
I'd try to get some kind of metal texture going on to vary up material types, some type of overlay per material. Then I'd work on enhancing all the small scale details. Use some layer effects or hand paint some glinting highlights along the edges. If you let the cel shading only handle the large and medium scale detail, but had more small scale stuff in the texture, I think it would read a lot better. It would also make it more visually appealing.
Be sure to show us screenies when you get it in game.
