Quote: "As the thread title says, I was wondering if the community would benefit from a few Comic Style Model Packs?"
I think it is a wonderful idea, since expanding the genres will vary the options for the consumer.
Some people have complained about some of the Model Packs for looking "cartoonish", but there are plenty of people who like that style.
Quote: "At the moment I'm working on a shader, that will hopefully work, that will render out objects in FPSC giving them a comic shaded look."
The idea of creating a special shader for them sounds great too.
Good luck with that, and I look forward to seeing it in action.
Quote: "I was thinking of building a set of models in the style of the PS2 game XIII. I've never seen anything like this in any of the model packs or in the community for that matter."
Experimentation is the heart of innovation, and that is what enables technology to advance.
So, if it hasn't been done yet, then that is more reason to try it.
Quote: "Thought it would be a fun project."
Go for it.
Have Fun!
Quote: "Any ideas and suggestions welcomed."
I say do a theme first, like sci-fi or modern day or something.
There was a poll taken about which kind of pack the community would like to see awhile back, so a search for it may yield something.
I know that poll was not for comic style, but it still might give you a good idea of what the majority of users are looking for in a pack.
I would say sci-fi, but only because I thought a Jetsons (the original cartoons) style movie would be cool to do.
Another one of my never finished projects sitting on a back burner, but I do have plans for a cartoon project.
I think sci-fi would be fun because unlike the real world items in a modern day pack, you could use your imagination to create cool wacky machines that have never been seen before.
Anyway,
Good luck with this project.
