Oh! My turn your character into a printable file services? Hmm. Send me PM. I’ll do one of yours for no compensation to make sure I have my workflow right.

Sally is 5 inches tall and cost me $77 USD, not including shipping.

Tried a 3D print of Sally from https://makeprintable.com/

I have a Mind Control / Dark Assault Dominator that's a succubus., based on the CoT version.

Same. My wife started playing earlier and is fine!

Do we still have a commitment from Homecoming leadership that there is still absolutely zero chance that this will be for-profit?

September 12, 2019

Nice! Have any other sculpts, prints or paints to show off?

September 12, 2019

Thanks!

My wife and I did conversions of character screengrabs into 3D prints. One of the big issues is that a detailed print isn't in full color, and a full color print doesn't have a lot of detail.

We used to post them at-cost, but they were still expensive. Someone tipped off the 3D print shop and they made me take down the derivatives of copywritten work.

Found some of the old 3D files yesterday.

Which 3D print provider did you use? Did you paint the figure yourself?

Does anyone have the robot meshes and textures (normal, emission, etc.)? I'd like to make some variants and see how they look.

Here's a CoH 3D Print HowTo I put together: https://corps.ouro-comdev.com/index.php?title=3DPrint

We have no way of knowing what it will, and will not include. I'm sure the reason that it's not a done deal already is because there are things they'd prefer not to voluntarily give up, while NCSoft would prefer they did. Therein lies the contention, and the need to negotiate. Until the details of that deal are announced, anything we could offer is nothing more than conjecture that fits the situation. 🙂

I'm curious as to what legal legitimacy would get Homecoming - is there more to it than reducing the risk of being sued or facing theft charges? There's not much of an argument that Homecoming is diverting revenue from NCSoft. Part of me wonders if it's best to just stay under the radar and occasionally placate NCSoft so they don't interfere.

What size are you looking to get them at?

Could I get a science and super huge Immortal? Results of using automatic upscaling have been... mixed. Do you have these in vector format?

I have upscaled versions of the textures, if folks are interested. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tnx581bzwpa7s7u/AABGF9qchgbB82tC3Y3oxXSBa?dl=0

To access the textures, you will need something that can uncompress a .rar file. Also, the textures are not game-ready; they are AI upscaled versions of textures extracted from the game files. They are, however, in a format that is easy for someone to touch up with GIMP or PhotoShop.

I want what we have with Homecoming. Issue 25, with QoL improvements and bugfixes. I couldn't care less if it's officially licensed or not.

My major concern is how beholden to NC Soft a licensed server would be. While new powersets and other content would be nice, it isn't even close to worth having NC Soft's boot at our throat (again).

Yeah, it's critical that if we put in the effort and expense to be legitimate, that we get a turnover from NC Soft with no future strings. Good luck with that. May just want to make sure it'll be an expensive PITA to enforce their legal rights.

absolutely no rewards for donors, our reward is being able to play and know we can help out when we can.

I'd like to keep the donor system, on a month by month or quarter by quarter basis. Folks can pay what they feel like, just list a suggested donation. Have stretch goals, maybe build in pay for devs or purchasing asset packages or whatever. I think it's important that everyone have the same level of access to game features without regard to pay / donor / microtransaction status. I think there's enough love, money and talent caught up here that we could have a not-for-profit, free to play, no microtransactions model. Think Wikipedia - they provide a service on a donation basis.

There should be some structured way to tap into talent in the community, or even entrust talentless drudge to those who want to donate labor (will regression test for love). If the devs asked me to make a new chest detail/SG symbol every other day, I'd agree to it. I might even fight for the opportunity 🙂

Updated textures for everything. starting with costume pieces. I have 16GB of system ram with 6GB of video ram. For many people even 8GB of ram is common. Anyone else remember how in 2004 at release 1GB was a tad overkill. I looked it up, in late 2004 the best video card you could buy had 256MB of ram. There is room now lets use it 😄

I have upscaled versions of the textures, if folks are interested. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tnx581bzwpa7s7u/AABGF9qchgbB82tC3Y3oxXSBa?dl=0
