MM8,5 - Rejected materials (free gift for mod-makers)

[vladimir-maestro]

Hello to you!
As you know we are working under MM8,5 - Echo of Destruction addon for MM8.

Due this work alot of stuff is generated and created...but not all of this stuff fits us. So I got to remade alot of graphics.

What to do with rejected ones? We got 2 possibilities: 1 -is delete them that noone knows that they even exists. 2 - to upload them in that raw, sometime incomplete work.

So i've decided to upload some rejected materials that not fit our addon.
In this topic i will add some materials that you could use as you wish and for your own mods.
------------
We planned to add "barbarian class" but decided to ass "death knights" instead. here is some of rejected characters:

they got all face-animations and some paper-dolls. but faces are incomplete and you'll have to work with them by yourself! (in order to make them looks more correct you shold reduce their size to 90% of original size for PNG pictures)

Dark elves:
We decided that dark elves not fit in concept of a forest rangers, keepers of a nature. So they are completely replaced with new race.

Too bad, most of them are nice/common but that tattooed barb kicks ass! I would love to play with him.

Question: who is "we"? I thought you work alone on.

[radagast82]

Damn are you kidding? That's some great work there, I love the looks on those first females, as well as on most drow characters I see here. I only wish all might and magic were easier to customize for all of us, so we could add all those faces even to our previous games. (such as 6 and 7 for instance)

PS : I admit I never played the barbarian/knight class though, and nor will ever probably. I'd love to play an evil drow party though if it was feasible with the game scenario.

we - are a team of MM8,5:

maestro/vladud2000
grayface/sergroj
agar
den
now we are 4 but maybe we will have +1 more members

we changed to new concepts like most of mm game series. thats means no more half-naked figures as i made before. now they all will be clothed from the begining.
something like that (work still in progress):

i think new ones looks more interesting.

Who is this scarred face? Drake from Crusaders? Or maybe Geralt?

do you really need this stuff? is it usefull or useless and noone interested in such kind of materials?

[the beavers1]

chances are that noone is going to use them....yet, so don't stop putting the discarded things up because that was a problem with a lot of other discontinued projects/resources.... they would trash the stuff and noone would be able to use it. What this forum needs is a stickey'd thread (thread thats always on top) that is meant for dumping the discarded materials used in mods that way. When someone DOES want to use them they will be right there.

[vladimir-maestro]

thanks for the answer. maybe you are right.

this is not all...soon rejected creatures will be and my style will fit mm6-8
but i think that people will need a tutorial how to insert new creatures firstly than a new creatures themselves.

hey maestro do you think you could give me a link with all your rejected material downloads? I was going to have them downloaded onto my computer for when someone wants them I could upload them, if they should dissappear from here (which they appear to be doing since only hotfile still has the files and it has a 30 minute in between downloads limit)

[vladimir-maestro]

you are free to use this materials

[koval321]

How difficulty is to generate such characters, and what software you use?
I like all of them, old and new concepts. In my opinion some class are good as half-naked barbarians, mages, and other like knights, clerics, thieves should begin clothed.

[vladimir-maestro]

it is not so hard. takes about a day to complete 4 chars for the single class...sometimes i'm lazy and made only 2 a day.
primary programm i use - poser2012. sometimes uses dazstudio + 3d max and other stuff

[Talin_Trollbane]

personally i think those looked more like rejected emo goths from some vampire game then characters fitting for Might and Magic universe.

but anyway keep up the good work.

that was the main reason to reject them: too sweet as a twilight saga girls will like but we do not have one in our team
