Hey everyone! I've been making a Sonic the Hedgehog comic on deviantART, and I thought it would be awesome to see NiGHTS in the game, since he's awesome and stuff. :)

Well, I downloaded a modeling program thinking it would be a piece of cake, and WHOA! I was surprised. So...after that, I got on the deviantART, and I noticed kichigai's models, and I thought, "Whoa. Those are awesome!" So I messaged her about using them. She hasn't replied yet, but I was wondering, how many others would like to see this? I think it would be awesome! All I would have to do is get someone to make them into ragdolls, and port them into Gmod. Anyway, I'll post news when I hear back from kichigai!

I've seen many insane things done with Garry's Mod, and I'm extremely happy to hear you're going to do something NiGHTS related with it. I look forward to your efforts with great anticipation. :)

It would be awesome to play. In Gmod, it would be full 3D flight, rather than side views. Maybe you could even add stuff like blue chips and rings into the game! A whole world of possibilities could be opened up by this.

Oh, and quick question. Do you need Gmod to be able to play something like that?

Yeah, you would need Gmod. To play Gmod, you need a copy of Half Life 2. I don't know how one would go about making NiGHTS playable. Apparently it is very hard to make ragdolls playable, but I've seen it done, so...I dunno.

I guess I'm just gonna have to buy gmod. Good thing I have HL2, though.

Yeah, I've been using Garry's Mod 9, since it's free. I'm getting 10 on Wednesday, so I hope it's as awesome as everyone says!

(Hurry up and get online Kichigai!!!)

Yeah, you need Half-Life 2, which normally sells for around 19.99 USD. You also need to get Garry's Mod, which costs 10 dollars. Because Garry is a sellout.

Ah. I saw this post and noticed your message. I get a lot of notes so I can't always catch them all. Did you message me before september? I was on vacation for practicly then entire month of august. @3@ As for the model I really don't feel comfy giving it out. Plus the polygon count is way too high for a game.... however, If you could tell me what the poly-count limit is for the game I could make a low-poly version.

Whoever told you 25,000 polys for a character was ok is clearly smoking the hard drugs. There is a reason normal maps are used in games these days.

You need to find out the avergae count for a HL2 character (preferably in triangles as different software can give odd figures for polys) and aim for that if you intend to have a character that won't destroy your system.

I would suggest around 3-4000 polys, and considering how simple NiGHTS actually is then I'd doubt you'd need more than that.

I had a feeling tri-polys was going to be an importance. Damn tri-polys... >:E

3-4000 isn't bad either. I had made transformers sims at the modthesims2.com site and they are around 2500 polys. NiGHTS design is very simple so this leaves more room for details.

I had never played HL2 or that gary mod so I'm going to make it into a simple obj format.

Well I'm done with the model. I don't know what I could do with it since I don't know how the bones work with any games to Garry's Mod. The poly count on this is 1686 triangles. I will probably submit this to this site for anyone who wants to use it in a game. @w@;

Quick pointer; Garry's Mod is a ragdoll posing mod and construction mod for Source games (Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal). A lot of mods have been made for it to add models into the game.

Anyone know if anyone's made a NiGHTS Ragdoll?

Here's an example of stuff you can make; uploaded this to wiki and it's in the current article.:

Sorry for topic reviving, but do you have a link for the model at all?

I got Gmod about a month or two ago, and seeing that epic win that can result from Gmod... well... there's going to be a lot of giggling going on on the forums :)
