Custom Character

Hey guys
As some of you probably saw in class last week i've got a basic custom character up and running. Still needs work but for those of you intersted in fixing up your own, or at least knowing how to, here are some tutorial links that should help:
http://camlink.com/UT3/UT3CustCharTutorial01
http://www.ut40k.planetunreal.gamespy.com
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UT3CustomCharacters.html
I used the camlink one as the default and checked the others if anything was missing.
They don't really cover skinning, weighting to skeletons, or texture unwrapping but i figured out how to do those things by trial and error and i can probably show you what you need to know quicker than any tutorials can so let me know.
Also i have plans to have a generic normal looking character ready for when we need it and i'll make that available to you all so you can customise it as you see fit, changing the clothes for example should be pretty easy and make a huge difference to how we all look running around for final presentations

Great work Jules, as you say this will be very helpful when we are presenting later in the session. Cheers.
