imagine having marine models like that :-P

but by the time you cut it down to ~2000-3000 polys it'd be ugly


go here for the rest

    Ahhh, good old Sheena's Nancy. I remember when she was still in development. I wonder if those underwear teaser pics are still around... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It crosses too far into the uncanny valley for me.

    It basically means that the closer something gets to looking like an actually human, it starts to look creepier and creepier, until it looks exactly like a human. The model looks too much like a plastic doll to me. In my opinion, it's not done well enough to be included in any game. It should either be made much more realistic or should be more stylized. It just looks half-Barbie, half-zombie right now.

    nethetheless 'theclam' the model is still pretty amazing, and for the creator 'sheena' it would have took dedication, so appreciation is always nice.

    I love Sheena's work to death (wish she was around to pimp some more) but Nancy's face is really...disturbing. You could post a picture of Nancy's face as the definition of Uncanny Valley.

    That Uncanny Valley isn't true for everyone, but Nancy fell right in there. Although those underwear teaser pictures were alright...

    I wouldn't mind biting that... Oh.. Did I say that out loud....

    Edit: the model work is encredible, but seeing a hot 3D anime chick fighting aliens doesn't seem right.... I mean, wouldn't rines have scars and such on their face, and be raggedy in general?.. Amazing work non the less, however.....

    Hm. Scarily accurate rendering of what NS would look like.. I see you've even got the frame-rate correct.

    Because having mdels that detailed means you would get about 1/2 a frame an hour. Sheena (the insanely talented gal who made that model) has a machine with 8 gigs of RAM and it <u>still</u> takes her a while to render one of the models.

    loooks nice but needs more dirt. it does look like a plastic doll.

    you could get something that good looking in source with a a low poly model and normal maps for the detail

    Game engines take rendering shortcuts... That being said, get back to me when you can build a game engine that properly handles nurbs.

    This thing will never be in NS because currently it is using a rough average of about infinaty minus one polies. It could be converted and optimized, but most likely it would just compleatly wreck the good looks of the model.
