04.06.99 ================================================================ Model Name : Devi, v1.0 installation directory : quake2/baseq2/players/devi Author : Pestilence for PSYCHOSiS Deathmatch Email Address : pestilence@psychosis-studios.com Web Address : www.psychosis-studios.com/psychodm Model description : From the pages of Jhonen Vasquez's newest work, "I Feel Sick: A Book About a Girl," comes Devi. After surviving an attack by Johnny (the homicidal maniac), everyone's favorite artist and trauma victim returns to exact her revenge in the Quake arena. Actually, odds are that, after what happened to her (and continues to happen), Devi rarely leaves the house, let alone sets foot in a deathmatch arena. So, odds are that she's here against her will and once again, a cruel twist of fate has put our Devi in yet another situation where she must turn off the fear and turn on the severe ass-kicky. Other info : This model is officially sanctioned by Johnny's creater (and copyright holder), Jhonen Vasquez. Again, there is the usual disclaimer on this model about how I'm still learning. Help me to learn. Tell me in what areas you find the model to be lacking. Better yet, tell me how to fix those things Additional Credits to : id software, Jhonen Vasquez Thanks to : Jhonen Vasquez (yet again), Shine, Magarnigal and Kray-Zee for their continued LightWave guidance ================================================================ * Play Information * New Sounds : no, but a .bat file is included for the purpose of copying the default female sounds into Devi's directory CTF Skins : yep VWEP Support : yep * Construction * Poly Count : tris-584 weapon-varied (id VWep) Vert Count : tris-313 weapon-varied (id VWep) Skin Count : 5 Base : Johnny the Homicidal Maniac Editor used : Modeling: Lightwave 5.6 Animating: Lightwave 5.6 + Puppet Master Skinning: Npherno's Skin Tool .9b3 Photoshop 4.0.1 Conversion: qME 3.1 p2 Testing: Skinview 4.3 Known Bugs : There are a few, but nothing terribly major as far as I can tell. First, Devi's legs are ridiculously poorly modeled. I mistakenly thought I had figured out how to do the legs, but ran into the same problems of heinous deformation when the knees bend. The animations I came up with along with individual vertex adjustment in some frames cover it up for the most part, making the model release worthy (in my opinion, anyway). Also, I was way too conservative with the polys this time around. Places where it's noticable most are the front torso and the butt, as well as the aforementioned knees. Lastly, the skin is strangely mapped. There are a few parts that ended up being mapped backwards, and shouldn't have been, but it's neither too noticable nor an extreme hindrance to anybody who might want to skin it (hey, if I can do it, you can). Build/Animation time : 3 long weeks * How to use this model * Unzip everything here into your Quake2 directory, then run the included "sound.bat" file to copy female sounds into Devi's folder. That's it! * Copyright / Permissions * QUAKE(R) and QUAKE II(R) are registered trademarks of id Software, Inc.

Everyone else, don't try to make money off this thing, or Jhonen or I will give you what is known in the business as satanic head bitey. If you want to use the model otherwise, please let me know.
