Here is a video captured out of Darkbasic Pro.
http://irradic.toxicon.ch/?page_id=36

The run animation is not in the DBPro video. I will add one or two attack/combo animations before the release

@Violent Pigeon - Your quote was for a base mesh with 2 different armors, animation and textures.

@ Xenocythes - A rigged base mesh starts at 75 euro, the price depends on complexity. Additional armors are charged extra, but of course not every one is working on a RPG or MMORPG that features exchangeable armor. The best thing is to email me the details of what you exactly need. Afterwards I could quote you the price for a commission. Thanks !

However, I'm taking a short break after this model. I've been working on commissions for the last 4 months straight. Almost every free minute after work, went into these projects.

@Irradic- She is looking remarkable. Have you decided on how many interchangeable armors you are giving with her and how much you will charge for her use in a sweet hack n slash game? Also, how many polies does she clock in at?

@Beast E Gargoyle - Thanks a lot. The base including armor, counts 4406 tris. Since Dexsoft-Games licensed the character, some of my initial plans were changed. The character doesn't come with any additional armors, Dexsoft-Games will create an alternate texture set though. The texture will also be included in the package from my website.
However, it might be that I will create a package with additional armor(s) and weapons/shields in the future.
At the moment I'm trying to throw in some additional animations for different weapons (axe,bow gun etc.). The final feature list will be available soon.
Dexsoft-Games estimated price is 20-30 Euro, but since Dejan is on vacation at the moment i'm not aware of the final price yet.
Since I'm permited a 5 Euro price difference, I'm planning to offer the package slightly cheaper on my site.

I changed the texture a little. If time permits, I will add another sword and an axe. So far I have added following animations:
attack 2 - round house sword attack
attack 3 - double kick, from one side to another and back
pick up - just as the name says
put down - put an item down
walk push - think of Tomb Raider where Lara was able to move obstacles around
leap jump - jumps forward, rolls and stands up
I'll add another attack animation, maybe some climbing animations.

But that's all for today, time to prepare for the Halloween party
Cheers !

I actually have 3 shaders applied to the character,a hair shader on the hair mesh, a regular normal map shader on the base, and a normal map- shine shader on armor and sword/shield.
It's up to you, if and which shader you will use on the character.
I will not include any of my shaders with the package since there are enough excellent shaders available in the ultimate shader pack.
Even though I want to satisfy as many tastes as possible.
I can't predict how my character will look with every possible shader out there.
It's up to the user to optimize the specular to his needs. If he thinks it's too shiny or not shiny enough...a specular is easily adjusted

Here is the video with the new animations.
Weapons\shield should be hidden for certain animations like pick up etc.

Updated the first post.

Pretty much final update on the mesh. I re integrated the bones for the hip armor. I had to temporary remove them since they were causing problems with the .X exporter. Wish .X exporting would be as straight forward as exporting to .fbx. Anyway, I found a work around and the armor plates of the hip armor no longer disappear inside the legs during certain animations. Also have I added a third weapon.
Dexsoft will create another texture variation, I'm curious about the results. If I find the time I might work on another texture variation as well, while Dexsoft is working on theirs.
I can't give any estimates, but it won't be too long now until the release.
Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Good model but i have a few niggly things i'll obnoxiously force upon this thread

1. It may just be the way that DBPro is rendering out the model or it may be your specular maps (or my monitor) but there seem to be a few of dark black spaces on the texture which break up the flow a little (under the breasts and parts of the legs). The chainmail is fine but the armour seems a little dark in places.
2. You're undercharging, a person with your skills could easily double that figure and still find work, hell, i know people that charge way more than that, if you are happy with the work to income ratio thats happening right now then disregard this but it can't hurt to raise your prices. Oh but this also depends what countries you get work commissioned from. I do know the joys of freelance and the hardships (you know those tough months when work seems to run dry). But someone of your skills could easily slip into an in-house position if it takes your fancy.

Oolite, the dark spots are created by the shader. It has this "floor" setting which creates some kind of shadow, you can observe this on the breastplate. I'm using a different shader on the chainmail which doesn't create this ground reflections or shadows.

I'm often sitting in front of the computer, pulling out my hair, and thinking that all the work isn't worth the money I'm getting.
Then I'm receiving one of the many mails where some one would like a couple of zombies or a hero modeled, all exclusive and for 30$ a pop.
If I refer them to my actual charges I'm being told that some one else is doing the job for 30$ but with less quality. Or that a pack with a bazillion low poly models is available, which costs only 30$. But then many of those inquiries are being made by students, and I understand that as student your budget is some what limited.
Since I'm having a regular day time job, I sticked to the freelance work. Getting an in-house job would be nice, but I don't know if it would be manageable with my free time.
If the payment for the next project is right, I might stick with the Dexsoft cooperation. But I'm also considering creating and selling my own game assets\model packs. Just to see if there is any money to be made, while waiting for the bigger commissions that come along once in a while.

That explains that then.

In house positions are usually a much more team oriented place, helps when working on projects to have people around you to talk to, that said however, they can be the worst places ever if none of the team get on. Model packs may be a bit more work but a decent investement for the future, advertising them and getting the right crowd which would purchase them, the more your model packs become popular, the less people will buy them because of media being in several different games. You should have a good terms and conditions set up.
Check these out, they have been a decent company to work with and are usually always looking for freelancers to hop on for certain projects.

@Oolite - Thanks for the link ! I will take a look, but I can imagine that these offers are quiet time extensive.
With this character I got the first taste of content creation for multiple engines. Having to convert to multiple different formats can be quiet a pain. Not every format is as easily converted to as .x, .fbx or collada for example.
There are formats that require special setups, which can cause you some head ache if you are not familiar with them.

@Beast E Gargoyle - Sorry I've overlooked your post.
To my understanding Dexsoft decided to not create any additional textures, but to sell the character as is. But I will double check and post if I get any news regarding the textures.


I made a small weapon addition. Mainly for those who prefer a more conventional looking battle axe.

Yeah they would be full time freelance work being offered, but very well paid, if you can make the contacts i wholely suggest breaking into full time. But its up to you.

Good luck with everything.

@Violent Pigeon - My apologies for keeping you waiting. Yes I'm currently working on Dexsofts new character. This should be completed by sunday. Here are the requested screens, taken out of the viewport.
I'll post some DBPro screens as soon as it's ready to be loaded into the viewer. This will be an Dexsoft exclusive and will not be available from my store.

The basic idea for the sword holster is from Cloud, yes. Although his holster is far more complex, it has a lot more layers and pockets to hold the different swords that are combined in his buster sword.
Anyway, I think it makes the rear of the character more interesting.
I'll continue working on the textures once I get back from work. Probably I'll post some more pics tonight.

Not to nag or anything, but his Buster Sword does not have multiple parts. It is called "Full Tsurugi" so I hear (When fully assembled.) I am a huge Final Fantasy fan, trying to get them all right now. (Currently FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFXII, and a few more. =P)

Do you model in 3DS Max?

@Alucard94 - Actually there was no glove texture yet, the glove had the same material assigned to it as the pants. The pants texture was on the glove as well so it looked a bit weird. Same goes for the face texture, which was also on the right arm armor. Thanks for the compliment Alucard !

@Maindric - Ah ok, well obviously I don't know how all that stuff is called, but I guess you know what I was talking about. I like the FF series, the art design is inspiring.
Yes I'm using 3DS Max for my 3D creations.

Ok, as promised here are the screenshots out of Darkbasic Pro. I wasn't able to use my hair shader with this model, there were a few alpha problems. The hair would have looked much better. But all in all I'm happy with the outcome. The outfit turned out really well. This character would look great in a RPG. In the next days I', going to wrap up the animations, then it's going to Dexsoft.
Well, enjoy the screenshots.

The hair and boots look excellent. I think his arms could use a smudge of dirt or fuzz. Beside's that looking stellar as always Irradic.

Thanks for all the positive feedback ! Glad it's being well received.
@Beast E Gargoyle - I know what you mean, but one person might want it smudged, another might want it clean. It's always easier to add things than to remove them. I think if someone would like to add some dirt he could easily modify the texture.
Maybe a tattoo would look good on his arm.

Well I was saying smudge/dirt to make it not the ordinary clear arm and give it a more real look. Like the new prince of Persia has a scar on his eye and made him look more next gen. Btw, I think tattoos on arms are getting over used.

Here are final captures from the fantasy character. He will be available at Dexsoft-Games soonish. This is my second character for them, even though this one is exclusive to Dexsoft and not available for purchase on my website.
Up next is a Ninja which I will hopefully have ready by Sunday, another Dexsoft exclusive.

Enjoy the pics ! As usual screen captured inside Darkbasic Pro.

Another excellent job Irradic. I would love to see when you take time to make a more gangly/ dirty character with an abundant amount of skin detail. Your character's are always just too perfect, no scratches or scars on any of them.

Here are 2 preview images of the upcoming character. These are, as usual, captures out of Darkbasic Pro.
I'm calling him the Cyber Infiltrator or Cyber Ninja. He's equipped with a hand-gun and a sword which is attached at his back (not yet in images).

Oh, I forgot to mention that this is another Character for Dexsoft. I have a rather lengthy sick leave, so I have enough time to work on those paid projects. Hopefully I'll have this character finished before Monday. I'll post some animation stills once it's done.
