Female Predator in Predator hunting grounds

[Le Celticant]

Also, a 3d modeler isn't doing advanced programming. I doubt much resources were affected by modelers modeling. At least there is variety, which is also important.

It takes a lot of time to do, it's digital sculpture after all, getting the proportion right is never fast and involves a lot of iterations.
And it involves many other department in the pipeline like rigging for armatures systems with bones specific for each model and animations which are dependent from the Armature. Make a different armature, make a new animation set.

Making a digital model is not the hardest thing in the world to do.

The parts that make the process long is the conceptual stage and approvals especially if the product is a licence I.P. The approval stage on that level is pretty much where developers get stuck for a bit. But what the character, item, or location ultimately looks like is approved at the conceptual stage and if an I.P is involved it's going to involve the I.P holders. The model may have some tweaks after seeing it in a 3D space, but this isn't nearly as time consuming as a physical piece.

The male and female Predator very likely share the same armature. I don't know why they wouldn't the models are not so radically different that it seems like it would.

Of course it's not the hardest, I'll even say veteran finds it easy.
But it's never the fastest either.
And of course you can't get stuck at modeling because at that point you start leaving Pre-Prod and have to move on.

I'm pretty sure it's not a displacement map doing the changes, which mean each model had to be weight painted.
(Still waiting for an automation one day to actually work without having to do manually. I know it's likely a dream but who knows !)
I'm pretty sure you know what I talk about and how "fast and fun" the process is.
I've also rarely seen animations retarget works correctly everytime without involving some manual adjustment.
That's precious time for a character having hundreds of animations.

The male and female Predator near as I can tell have the same animations.I'm not under the impression the male or female have unique animations to the other whatsoever.

[Voodoo Magic]

I invested hours and played both male and female and I concur, the model changes, but the animation appears to remain the same. And I'm glad it did.

[Le Celticant]

Of course it does, why would you even want to try to make different animations?
That would make you late behind the schedule.
Still doesn't change the fact you need to pour work.
If my work was always that automatic, I wouldn't have these many unpaid overtime (also called the 20%-80% rule)

Players are gonna hunt the Predabooty on April 24.

Let's calm our tits. I would prefer a flat chest but I liked them having a different hourglass frame.

We haven't seen how their chest look under the armor, might not look exactly like human boobs. The male predators's bodies resemble human males, there are based on human male hunters, so giving the females a feminine look doesn't feel off.

We have seen the males bare chest and i don't think they have nipples.

Too bad Joel Schumacher was never involved into directing any of Predator movies

I was t implying you did, I'm just saying I font think they have nipples. So technically I'd they don't have nipples the there would be no need for bigger breasts on the female since there not there for milk production. Off topic but did you know the predator has ears?

Like its on my post we don't know if behind the armor it even looks like boobs. Whatever. As of now the design of the females from PHG is the official one.
