AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Two hours of work just went down the drain!
Ctrl+S (save) for some reason didn't stick and now my Power Armor is back where it was. Damn this friggin universe!

For the jumppack armor, something of a cross between a WH40K space marine jetpack and the jump armor from X-Com: Apocalypse

Also, interesting:

Keep in mind that the jumpsuit is meant to be somewhat less protective than the heavy armours, so it probably shouldn't look too buff.

This is the current status. I had to re-do it and am currently experimenting with the abdominal area.. I think I made the stomach plates too big :P

Looks good. Is this supposed to be the Heavy Nanoplate Suit? I like the look of the open boot, but it may not fit the description.

Power armor. The leg design is supposed to point towards an exoskeleton. The blusih parts armored with fabric, rather than plates. Also, ti's far from finished. The upper leg part, lower torso and arms all need more work.

Is the wiki out of date? I don't see a Power Armor listed, but maybe it's been added into plans for the tech tree...

Welcome back, Trashman,

The new soldier models actually got re-started once again (the source Blender files are in the SVN) but the previous base model wasn't thrown away - I'm sure we could use what you've done for something, it would be better to have a number of good models to pick and choose from, rather than not have enough (the latter is what we've been stuck with for a long time).

Hehe..thanks.

I've been going over my project list and was "dear Lord, what the hell was I thinking? Gotta clean this list out."
So I started focusing on projects that can be completed first (in shortest amount of time). UFO :AI rates high on that list, given that a few models and texture tweaks is all I had planned.

I'm taking it slow over the weekend, but I expect to have one or two armor meshes done by the next weekend. Animating and mapping them - now that will take more time. Never really fiddled with animating human models...

Would this be a bad time to point out that we already have an approved model for the Power Armour, albeit one that isn't yet completely animated?

Regards,
Winter

But you don't have one for the ADVANCED Power Armor...unless I'm mistaken?

The first post in this thread is up to date, so that would be correct.
