Ubiytsa Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So I've been playing a lot of New Vegas and League of Legends lately when something occurred to me; stuff like the Power Fist is essentially a singular version of Vi's hextech gauntlets. I would love to see something similar made - maybe not the same size, cause the things are massive and I'm sure they would screw with a lot of animations, but I would hope it would be possible to put the power fist model or something of the sort on both hands and use animations from brass knuckles/boxing gloves, but keep the effects the power fist has. She does swing slowly, so if it were made to about the same speed it should be just a slight upgrade from the basic power fist, but I think it would look a lot better.

Yeah I do believe that would be do-able. You can even put daggers or swords in each hand and use the unarmed animations. I'll see if I can put something together for you.

Ubiytsa Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks! Sorry for the late response, I forgot to bookmark this thread. I actually just got finished doing a playthrough as a Vi-like character, using spiked knuckles and building my character as tanky as possible. Thanks to perks granted by the Daughters of Ares mod, it turned out fantastically. Were it not for Realistic Headshots, I could have just walked into every fight and murderalized anything. All I could think was it would be better with dual power fists. Thank you again for looking it over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devinpatterson Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Not being familiar with League of Legends I did a google image search and it looks like she has many different variations of her gauntlets, did you want to find UL a pic that we can work toward? It's not a problem to rig two gauntlets (power or otherwise) to the player. In regard to the size.....yeah they are definitely insanely huge. For normal sized gauntlets I could make them usable/worn while wielding other weapons (melee and firearm) and while punching, but of course we can't do that if we have them the oversized iconic gauntlets I see in her pics. So I think we have a couple of options. 1. Rig them as per normal power gauntlets but just scale them up a bit. As the mesh gets further and further the associated vanilla bones/armature it will become more and more distorted. I can't change the skeleton so this is bound to happen at some point. If I had to guess, I suspect it would probably be bearable up to maybe 1.7X or so (but it could be significantly more). 2. Rig a static (in the sense that it's rigged to a single vertex group) model of clenched fists. They could be scaled up to any size and they won't distort, but they also won't be articulated or have any animations of the fingers. They will always be clenched fists (or alternately open hand, however she normally fights....I have no idea re: her combat style). Let me know your thoughts on the matter. If you need help with texturing, feel free to message me! Thanks Halex, I'll have a better idea in re: to texturing the gauntlets once Ubiytsa provides some feedback on what version of the gauntlets (or if just plain old over sized power gauntlets are fine) is desired. Would you be interested in re-texturing the back of the combat ranger armor jeans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halex1316 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Devin - no worries! I'm looking to get involved with some Nexus projects and want to share any assistance I can. The ranger armor jeans sound interesting - I take it this is an unrelated mod? If so, could you provide a link for me? Thanks and looking forward to working with you!

devinpatterson Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The ranger armor jeans sound interesting - I take it this is an unrelated mod? If so, could you provide a link for me? Yeah the ranger combat armor texture is black/Sepia in the back of the jeans because it's used to emphasize shadow (the duster covers that area). It's in the textures.bsa @ textures\armor\combatranger\combatranger.dds Retexuring it will allow the ranger combat armor to be worn without a duster more easily. Thanks and looking forward to working with you! You too brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halex1316 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm working on the Ranger Armor right now - would you like a full retexture? Or just the jeans? I'll focus on the jeans for now, and do the rest if I get bored. That way, if you want it later, you can have the entire armor retextured. I'll check in on this thread for a response from Ubiytsa to move forward on the gauntlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiytsa Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I think option 2 would be much better. She only opens her gauntlets for one attack, and while that is her iconic one, it really isn't necessary. Finger animations would be cool, but it's ultimately unnecessary. If you want a reference, I have one, it's in good detail, but a few things are to be noted. If this doesn't come out as it should I am sorry, I am new to these forums.http://www.game-art-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/Vi-League-of-Legends-Concept-Art.jpgThe things to note are that this is concept art, so the "SUCK ON THIS!" is not actually on them, and the knuckles are red. I figure if somebody is going to do a texture of these, there should be attention paid to detail. I'll try and study the gauntlets some more and see if I can find any differences between that and the concept art, but that's the most clear shot of them I've been able to find. Thank you so much for your interest in this, though. I'd really like to see it go through. EDIT: just for clarification, I would think they would be used and equipped just like a power fist would. You equip it, gauntlets on; unequip, gauntlets off. According to canon (please do not debate the logistics here, I know they're stupid) Vi's gauntlets weigh around 8,000 pounds, I can't imagine she'd be wearing them constantly. If I remember correctly, Riot said they clip to her back and clasp each other like a backpack. Edited June 19, 2015 by Ubiytsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, equipped as per normal hand to hand weapons. OK I'll mess around with them a bit and see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
