To be clear, I think mattn meant we will need all versions of the soldier models before they are replaced. Obviously, we don't expect you to remake every civilian and alien as well.
I would like to get the soldier models ready to replace existing models as the main priority, but of course we're happy to see any modelling work from you Origin.
I think now would be a good time to make sure we're clear on exactly what soldier models are still needed. The game currently has the following, and I've added notes for those I think Origin has already covered:
/male/
Completely unarmoured. Could easily be done with a simple retexture of Origin's most lightly armoured model.
/malehybrid/
An armour that uses some alien tech.
[done] /malelight/
Origin's most lightly armoured model.
/malelightadv/
Perhaps just another retexture of the malelight?
[done] /malemedium/
Origin's medium armour.
[done] /malepower/
Origin's fully-sealed suit.
+ Female variants.
There are currently 5 male heads and 4 female heads. I think we should aim for 4 of each sex as a minimum before we replace them. I can quite easily add alternate skins for any head models made, so if there were only two head models we could get to four distinct heads.
-------------
Can anyone think of anything I've missed? The wiki mentions two other armour models (hover/psi) but they're not in-game yet so they wouldn't be a requirement for replacing the existing models.
And of course 4 is just a minimum for the heads. Ideally we'd have dozens, especially if they are going to be used in the battlescape hud.
