Don't know, maybe it's just me, but they look like the type that survive.

edzactly why im annoyed

I understand your irritation. It would take a competent 3D model builder about a day to modify a dozen general (sexless) models  and give them feminine geometry and appearance. The three that you posted look like the East German  'its' of the 80s that were rightly denied the opportunity to compete in the Women's Olympics  because they were packing X,Y chromosomes.    

 

Exorade, "Don't know, maybe it's just me, but they look like the type that survive."

 

Its impossible to tell from general appearance who the survivors would be as there is nothing that says that stone faced manish women are better suited to survive than women that are by nature feminine in appearance. Given a healthy body the ability to survive is for the most part all in the head. .

Well, they do look like thin men with men faces after a few punhes to the face...

 

but i don't want any snookies to run around in DayZ, either

i imagine it can be pretty hard to find makeup in the Apocalypse, and few would care

feminine faces though would really be nice you know... on the female characters at least

or a justin bieber "male" one

 

except for the two-face one, though that has to go... gives me nightmares

Can we please get away from the Hollywood imposed mindset that every character in the game should look like a cat walk model?

[GrumpyFragger 67]

Bohemia Art Department should ask some Skyrim modders to help them to be honest. Just because its an Post Apocalyptic game doesnt automaticly means all Chars need to look like kids from Charles and Camilla.

What the..FUCK are those CREATURES.

 

No relation to me, I assure you.

fixt.

 

like the change of threat title tho...

also, one on the right's not too bad.  I've been rummaging through eastern bloc women all the way here from berry... and well... beggars can't be choosers.

 

After what I've been through, even contestant #2 is appealing.  TBH i'm just looking for someone that has a pulse and lets me get within 100m of it.

OK wtf is going on with the middle chick and how did that make it to release?

 

So they give us a hundred different clothes and hats to wear and yet produce some of the worst character modeling I've ever seen for 2014 (Ok maybe not the worst but...).

 

We need different looking models and different builds.

 

We also need a set of character animations, like 20 that are used for standing, walking, running, holding the weapon. These could be randomly given to your character and you keep that animation set for the rest of your dayz life.

 

By having different animations allows us to recognise people and give a more immersive feeling to the game. When we all walk and stand the same it's a bit odd.

[Evil Minion 943]

It didn't make it to release - its on experimental.

 

I think the right one is okay aside from having a different skin color for face and arms. The left one looks a little older but thts about it - being pretty is no requirement. The middle one is probably bugged.

[Azzerrrr 52]

the lefte is definetley a crack addict (also looks like my science teacher)

despite your hotness I have no idea what the fuck your computer thinks it's doing but I'm out.

[q.S Sachiel 470]

yeah looks like the AA draw-in you occasionally see when tree foliage etc isn't in your FOV.  Like the game isn't prioritising those pixels to be drawn.

Noticed too that the body tone is identical across the 3 while the face tone is individual.

Mid looks like an indian / west asian type from the looks of it.  Maybe hispanic.

[pilgrim* 3514]

cant we have any good looking models instead of crack heads and robots (some of which are both)

 

I heard that all the models are Bohemia staff because it takes a while to do the process, there are no problems about rights to the finished image, and they have a good cross section of different human types working there...

so maybe all these comments are really making someone's day in the office ?

 

None of you ever seen a female head with short hair before ? You think short hair means "drugs" right ?

You ever seen a sculptural surface representation, and not a cosmeticized extra-made-up photo session "female" ?..

(try 'fingers in the dark', lads)..

 

Friends - You are all Brain-Dead female-stereotype-sales-image Hype Zombies.

Ya bunch of poor ga-ga suckers, the hypno-toad got to ya. No hope for any of you.

 

One thing that looks odd, IMO - apart from the eyes - is that all the bodies are exactly the same, up to the top of the neck with different faces glued on them. This is totally not the case at all IRL, because your head and your body form "a single expression of who you are" and so this facial-only digitalization gives a pretty strange effect. But we can live with that, right ?

 

yo DBC.. which one looks like you, really ?

that middle pic, you sure that's not your graphics card acting up ?

first we have to be clear what's "good lookin" - is that unattractive, covered with makeup chick in your avatar "good lookin"? is hillary clinton good lookin?

[Evil Minion 943]

A well balanced face with few prominent features and high symmetry is good looking. Personal preference is more about gender and tolerating specific prominent features. Being young and healthy also helps.

[LeeVanSpliff 156]

Hmm, I think the models are pretty cool, albeit rather rough around the edges. My guess is that the hair is a placeholder? Otherwise this game has more short-haired women than most fantasy games have long haired men.

In computer games men can sway from the pretty norm (think Bill or Coach in L4D 1/2) but women cannot for some reason. I consider non-pretty characters (male and female) a refreshing change.

 

Yeah. can we get some potheads too?

Sir, you have them! I'm certain hemp fields will be implemented sooner or later.

....

 

Really?

 

The stuff people can start whining about is almost agonizing. But not as agonizing as the method. It's the EXPERIMENTAL part of an ALPHA.

No short hair means lesbian!

Just what I was thinking! Well except for the middle one, that is beyond any help.

But no, I also do not want for DayZ female avatars to be average skinny model type. Those would not last very long I reckon.

Not saying fatties would, but somehow normal females, those who can split somebody's head with an axe, those would have good chance as any of us.

[Evil Minion 943]

I think body type should be independent of weight. Its odd if everyone has exactly the same build. However in terms of gameplay they should be about the same (different shape but roughly the same size). Similar to this or this.

 

If skinny/fat survivors were to be added then as consequence of their playstyle (fat would be pretty hard to achieve then) with appropriate downsides (e.g. skinny survivors won't last long without food and a weaker, while fat survivors would be slower and easier to hit).

I'm just glad that midgets are not being added, not because I hate them, but because every rabid a$$hat would pick one, to hide better and to have smaller hitbox.

 

Also I don't expect devs to add fat/skinny people if only because they would have to redo all clothing and stuff to fit, possibly also redo animations and that would be TONS of work.

 

Even basic stuff like adding model of weapon with flashlight duct taped on, was rejected due to additional work. Still I hope later they could reconsider.

Obviously she means good looking from a modeling point of view, not pretty. As in the models actually look decent rather than what's on offer.

And what is "wrong" with the modeling, i don't get it - they look pretty nice to me, the middle on is just lookin cracked up cuz of gfx bug. As she mentioned the left one looks like on of her teachers, so they must be pretty nice modeled if they look like real humans.

[Evil Minion 943]

Also I don't expect devs to add fat/skinny people if only because they would have to redo all clothing and stuff to fit, possibly also redo animations and that would be TONS of work.

In general fat/skinny has similar issues than big/small (although not at the same amount). And additional work should not prevent them from doing so though it might limit the amount. Right now there are two body models. I think having six or eight might be a reasonable amount. However, there should be well over 100 faces - to decrease the probability that two people on one server look exactly the same. I would also like to have decoupled face, hair style, hair color, skin color and eye color.

 

From a modeling perspective the left face is the best because it has the least "errors".

 

Edit: About makeup:

I don't want any makeup on starting characters. If anything you should be able to find some ingame and apply yourself if you want.
