Replace Mail Contact Avatars?

[Crystan]

Are the mail contact Avatars are random generated models or just pictures? If theyre pictures we should replace them with some drawn avatars because it will look much better. Well surely we need to ask around if someone draw us some.

If you mean the avatars for the mail protagonists - those are head models, but they are not used in-game yet (just referenced in the ufo files).
You can find the model files in base/models/characters (al_kuhar, connor, falkland, floydd, howard and navarre).

Too bad, is there a way to replace them with a 2dobj?

[MCR]

Ofc. there is a way.

There is always a way.

We could render them for example and use the rendering as 2d pic.

Convince mattn first. But I don't want cartoonish avatars!

Seconded.

Actually i wanted to replace the models because some of them look cartoonish. For example this guy:

 

Somehow he reminds me at Charlie Brown (his eyes...). Probably pre rendered HQ models is also an option.

I am for 3d, as we will stay flexible...
If you want to create new character models I recommend playing around with that tool: www.makehuman.org

Why not a 2D image/drawing. It's far more flexible than a 3d model and it ends up looking better too.
