Freedom Force 2 (Superhero game)

[ELECTRO]

Does anybody know about or play the game Freedom Force Vs The 3rd Reich, aka Freedom Force 2? It's an old RPG were you make superheroes and either play the game, mods or watch the heroes/villains battle. It's a pretty cool game that I've played off and on since 2003. Almost every Marvel or DC character has been made threw the years. Recently I made some content for the game which is the character Fin from Marvel's Wild Pack team. I took pieces from different mesh models and pieced them together on a base mesh using nifskope. Then I took a base skin and used that to paint the rest of the costume.

I was in and out FF through the years, but never stayed in. The FF community is as passionate as the mugen community. Great work, ELECTRO.

Judging by the video, you can export the images from the animations too?
So we can bring it to Mugen

Yes, and I remember you from those days!  I was just a quieter forum member.  You and Ink, Afghan Ant, Podmark, MikeB, Tortuga, Italian Pornstar, Tomato, Ultimate Evil, Benton Grey and my friend, Intensity.  I remember you all! I learned to do skinning/hexing/modding work there.  I've never been good at meshes though.  I've always thought you do good work wherever you go.  I've seen some of you in the Marvel Mods forums too!

The bug has bit me again. Havn't done any Mugen, just been watching some Superhero battles. I'll be posting some battles if anyone is interested.

Those were the days & that's how I got introduced into game modding. It's funny how terrible some of my old skins were.

Yes, there is a character tool, that you can see in video of the first post. It has a white background and you can run threw the animations, use Animget to capture. I've done it before, but didn't take the project very far.

Yep I agree with that.

Love it. Maybe a Marvel vs DC next time?

[NX-MEN]

Wow thats the first time I see that and it looks awesome!! 

If I understand correct that's the RPG version of Mugen? If this is the case that sounds very cool!!

Plus Fin is great!! Excellent work ELECTRO!! 

[ELECTRO]

I now have the newest video running at 1080P and 60 fps. I messed up the first video a little by starting my project with the wrong settings & couldn't render it out the way I wanted.

Teams for Rumble #2

Justice Society of America = Flash (Jay Garrack), Atom Smasher

I sprinkled some DC in the mix this time.

Thanks NX! Yes Mugen & FF are a little similar in the concept of putting a lot of different universe's characters together and watch them battle & also make your own content. Like put yourself in the game or whatever. You can also run campaign missions, multiplayer etc... Everything is mod-able  expect some hard coded stuff. You can buy the game for less than $10 on Steam.

[NX-MEN]

Thats perfect!!

This game has more Marvel chars than Mugen's right?

[Atiles]

Oh wow, I remember seeing this game at the store when I was a kid and I just got it from Humble Bundle not to long ago, i'm going to have to try it out, you can't play as any of the characters huh?

You would blow up the game if you tried to stuff all that's available into it. Believe me I've tried. Here are a few good links if you want to see whats out there to download.

Yes you can play as any character in whatever mode you want, within the rules. For example if you create a character for the Campaign named Atiles & give him whatever superpowers you want, but the powers have a cost of points. As you play the campaign you will earn points which you can recruit new heroes with, including your created hero Atiles.

lmao That was sick! I didn't know Atom Smasher was so durable. And TMNT, dude, they got their arses handled there . Great vid.

[NX-MEN]

Those look epic battles there!! 

[dev.]

My favorite fight so far. Great play by the X-MEN, but the sentinels owned them in the second round.

Work in progress of Zangief. I've got most of what I need on the model now. I've only textured a few things on the skin & some of it is just a placeholder. The jacket and boot flaps are for an alternate Zangief skin, but I wanted to show what they look like attached to the model.

[dev.]

Impressive.

[NX-MEN]

Indeed terrific work ELECTRO!! 

Just paint his boots red and voila a perfect Zangief!! 

[ELECTRO]

This is the last update on Zangief before he is released which should hopefully be in a day or two. The plan is to release him with 3 skins, Original, SF 4 alternate & SF 5 alternate. I haven't decided if i'm going to do a Mech Zangief yet, but if I do it won't be on this model.

[NX-MEN]

Cool!! He looks very accurate now!! 

[ELECTRO]

It's taking me more time than originally thought, plus i'm having a few issues with the mesh. So I thought i'd share an image of some progress of one of the skins. Hair textures seems to be one of my weaknesses & I try to avoid them until the end. If anyone has any tips on painting hair feel free to chime in. Right now i'm just using some smuge work for the hair & it just looks ok. I don't know why I can't come up with a formula for hair & it's frustrating.
