Re: Mass Effect: Unification (build 20121001.2343)
Pertaining to using the Mass Effect assets; I would not use the stock models; they are far too taxing for Zero. I would most definitely build a whole new low poly using the Mass Effect 3 model as reference and then bake the actual texture to the new low poly model. So really, textures would only be used.
If this were allowed by the staff here at Gametoast and over at Bioware, the turnaround for custom models for this mod would increase ten fold. I could also basically make any model we would ever need in a short amount of time.

Re: Mass Effect: Unification (build 20121001.2343)
Textures aren't too much of an issue; I can reverse engineer almost any textures that we would want to use. The only areas that I have problems in are skin textures. If you can reverse-engineer a model from ME3, get an AO bake of the higher poly model, I can work with it from there.The Nasal Abyss wrote:Pertaining to using the Mass Effect assets; I would not use the stock models; they are far too taxing for Zero.

Video of the M-451 Firestorm's new particle effect. 

It's supposed to look like it's brushing up against a wall or an object or something instead of *always* traveling in a (relatively) straight line. Also, you can't really see it in Particle Editor, but there's also a blue flame at the base of the orange flame that travels a very short distance before quickly fading away.

TNA really outdid himself this time. The Alliance marine is swish but this is even better in quality.

Like I said before, TNA has really outdone himself. I personally can't wait until the little glowy-light is added to the eye.

Wow. That looks really good. Somehow that's how I always pictured the Geth when I imagined ME on ZeroEngine.

One of my guys managed to upload more video for this mod. Nothing from marth's recent update but still important/relevant none the less.

re:Abominations.
They're pretty much just slightly more powerful Husks with one exception. They start to burn, catch on fire, as their health decreases. When they die they explode. True story. ;D
re:Ravengers.
We'd love to have them, but the amount of work would be great to pull it off. So it's unlikely. Definitely not for the 1.0 release, if we even get to include the Reaper side for that. Ugh, time.
Quick, to the Delorian!

Yes, WULF answered correctly.
Also, if anything, we need the Doctor.
