COSMO Animation/Texture SDK
polycounter lvl 17
PSP'ish spec model and animation rig! (Includes .PSD's)
COSMO_sdk.zip (3dsMax9 Rig & Model)
COSMO_fbx.zip (.FBX for non Max9 users. Will require some assembly.
)COSMO_obj.zip (Edit: Added missing visor. sry folks. Texturing SDK.)
He comes with toys! (A pipe wrench & a gun.) Select the item in mind, and use an Attachment Constraint on the hand of choice's ItemHolder bone, and he'll be ready to bash & shoot shit instantly.
Don't mind how anybody uses it, if anyone does bother at all. The UV maps could'a used some loving, and but re-skin it if you like. Some geometry in there is unnecessary, and could have been cut. Ran outta time. : ) I'm just happy it's done.
Like to thank Quasar for lots of help on rigging, and Spacey and Peppi's low-res texture mastery. (in particular for this piece)
PS - I love critique, *and* putting it to use. Think I could have pushed the texture a little more in certain areas, and I could have definately used my UV Space better. Lessons learned, can't wait to do another.
PPS - Max rigging is confusing. Happy to be done. |: |
Edit: I fail at UBB.
Edit 2: Added .fbx and .obj formats.

great work Uly!!
the visor reads as quite thick, is it supposed to be glass?

I say convert it to use for UT3.
Normal map it, import it, and whack some Necris with a wrench.
Really, though; nice work.
"I HATE EVERYBODY!" "PEW PEW" I laughed loudly.

could you bring in something so low poly as a character? that'd be a riot.
P.S - pew pew !! ahahhahaha
Original and good work!

such a lowpoly love should be full lit and without shaders, that would be ownage^^
I think Notman is right, you should take out the word "end". Or change it to be a palindrome like "level" since it is mirrored. It might be neat to see one of those level bubbles under the word. Pfft its a SDK I'll do it myself =P
Thanks again! It looks like it will be fun to play around with. Again, great work, I love the style!

Very solid looking SDK, one thing though, is it just me or is the visor mesh missing from the .OBJ version?
Awesome! Reeeally nice work!

Haha... You and Notman have very reasonable complaints. Truth be told, I periodically put random shit on the back to see how it would look period while I was texturing him, and eventually I put END there... i thought it looked cool and Russian-like so I left it there... Shame.
that gives idea! Russian palindromes!!
Edit @ White Eagle: I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up, dood.
Edit2: You were right. Fixed the .obj version of the zip. Sorry to anyone who downloaded it.
I'll start off by saying this character is really, really awesome...and I appreciate putting him up for use
I've been doing first person animations for counterstrike and such for quite some time now...but never really anything with characters. Nevertheless I felt like messing around a bit ;D
Soooooo.....I'm pretending I have a sidescrolling adventure/platformer esque game to put him in (someone go make one!)
Basically its just one of those anims that plays when you sit still for a long time. I love the visor lol.

If I actually do more of these I might start a thread, but for now I just wanted to say thanks to all involved, and awesome work!
Hmm, Uly, I think the groups in the .obj version are still incorrect. I was playing with them and the leg packs & face are part of the "body" group. it's not a huge deal, just letting you know.

Thanks for the comment sun. I placed all of the Cosmo's actual body is in the body group just for simplicity's sake. As for the leg packs, I knew it already had about 4 bones dedicated to satchels, packs and whatnot for secondary animation, and that another 2 might be unnecessary. As such, they're part of the 'body' group to just further simplify things. In future projects, I'll get the naming convention and mesh grouping to make a little more sense. : ) I'll take your comments in mind though for next piece, danke!
Spanks!: haha! It's so cool to see someone do something with him. Seeing it in motion really helps me out where the skinning could use some work, and the limits of the skeleton. : ) Thanks much! Welcome to Polycount, homie. Keep on making and posting stuff!
Thanks for all the comments and stuff guys. Next project will probably have a rig to play around with too, though the subject matter will be a bit different!
I'll show something here soon
Edit (To post down below.): Needles! Sweet.
Eh at least its something o_o;
the mini game MUST have the sound effect and the subtitles, pleeeaaaase

Like Spanks above (years ago) I've been lurking 'round for quite a while, then found this thread and decided to... join, I guess.
The model looks great, I wish I could get my hands on it; happyjames.com isn't working and the microwavetower blog has no download links for this (I've searched for it, really).
On the other hand, I'm more a coder than an artist. I can get some things done in Maya while Max just gives me the pains...
dood, could you possibly share your MAs, pleeease?
Just in case, any (working) download links will be more than welcome.
Thanks in advance!
