arch111 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Textures and gear add ons are the better way to go imo. Like ice effect or poison effect makes the same weapon look different. A skin creation tool would do wonders for the community I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kanade__ Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I say make Excalibur and Nyx colorable, just because about 30% of them now aren't, and that really sucks... Color all of Nyx black, and you'll see most of her back and front is still grey. Other then that, I say leave them as is. The Immortal Skins remedied that problem Excaliber and Nyx were having, now those 2 are probably the most colorful and detailed of all the frames. Now not one portion of their bodies are one solid color thanks to the Immortal Skins. Edited February 7, 2014 by __Kanade__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneBones Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Minky (is that how it is spelt?) confirmed in the last devstream that the warframe models will not be changing, and he likes them the way they are. this is arguably unfortunate, because of the infamous lobster tail I saw a livestream where the designer of Ash said he would love to rework it. And please, after seeing banshee next to Zephyr, she definitively need a rework ! Ash too ! Mag could need some lifting too...

The three most in need of a remake are Banshee, Saryn and Trinity. In my opinion each looks awkward. Banshee is highly asymmetrical with strange proportions and a lack of detail. Saryn is an ambitious design but too bulky and lacks form, she doesn't recolor well either. Trinity lacks detail and has the out of place lobster tail Edited February 7, 2014 by Fuzzykat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShifty Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Minky (is that how it is spelt?) confirmed in the last devstream that the warframe models will not be changing, and he likes them the way they are. this is arguably unfortunate, because of the infamous lobster tail I recall him saying something about Trinity but that's it. Regardless I'm sure Mynki is a fan of his work as he should be, but the community is what helped shape this game into it's near 6 million player base that it is today and I think that if enough of us want it than he and the other artists should definitely take a second look at the older models and consider polishing them up a bit. They need some of that love the new guys are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity lacks detail and has the out of place lobster tail I think Saryn is beautiful, Trinity is meh, the lobster tail needs to be revamped into something more slick and Banshee is the one who truly needs a full rework. The most detail Banshee has are the wrinkles in between her legs (hah) that make it seem like she's wearing some old latex jump suit, and her specular maps are rather bland, she looks plastic.

lautalocos Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i personally like the old organic look of the frames (except ash, you either make him look like the stalker or he looks bad) meanwhile, some newer frames look bad to me (vauban doesnt look like a tenno, he looks like a robot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperShifty Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 If mag or nyx get remodeled, I will find you. Despite the title I'm mainly talking revamps. To just polish off the older models to match up with the newer, more intricate design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMAGGOTxX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 And of course, the Rhino/Loki fanboys make this thread into yet another Warframe vs Warframe topic... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kanade__ Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I don't respect Mynki as an artist because he doesn't take any suggestions the community has into perspective, much less consider any of them at all. A good artist ( whether it's an artist for a video game or not ) takes the criticism and either makes changes or learns from what was praised and what was shackled with bad reviews, Mynki does neither. He makes what he thinks looks good regardless of what the rest of us think and doesn't take suggestions on what can be improved, he throws all that out the window, while the rest of DE does nothing but soak up all of our suggestions, even taking suggestions from the chat during livestreams. I can respect the rest of DE as developers and wanting to share the game with us by making it our ( DE included ) game instead of their game, but not Mynki as an artist. Which is why it's pointless to point out the flaws in a design be it a frame or not, to Mynki and hope someone else in the art team will take our ideas and suggestions into consideration.

Emphasizing the "I", he really should give more thought to what the community thinks and not just what he thinks.
