Shambler HD Remake Released!

[Skiffy]

Its time to upgrade the old shambler with a new model that it always deserved! I always felt that for such a fearsome and imposing beast the vanilla version was a little lacking. So with no further delay I give you the new and improved Shambler HD remake!

It comes with a brand new mesh and animations, plus an additional head gib replacement for consistency.

I hope you like it and take it for a spin! If you take any snazzy screenshots of him in action please post it in this thread.

Cheers!

neat! nicely done improved upgrade of the shambler

Beautiful on video, but tried in game and it appears with no skin, a plain grey model. What I did wrong? I followed your instructions Skiffy

@bv
make sure you dont have any other shambler-models in your ID1 folder that include .skin files

and if you're using the SMC you might want to check inside the pk3 and look for and remove shambler skin files in there,
the smc includes skin-files for the enemies to make the vanilla models compatible with the bloodsplats features

Never saw that error weird.

I don't use Darkplaces engine myself. I use Fritz or Quakespasm. But windows and Qbism works with it as well. Sounds like this skinfile thing could indeed be the issue. That being said I should look into a darkplaces specific version since I do have an MD3 version of this model as a part of my workflow and fullcolor textures. I'll look into it at one point

just plugged it in and tried it, he looks fantastic. the detail has been upped, but he still looks like he belongs in vanilla. Would love to see a fiend or chthon done this way

I'd like to see a Death Knight done in this way. It's the least loved monster, no one even done a model of him

[Tea Monster]

I saw this on Polycount. Good job!

[Trickle]

Amazing job!
