Noted down the suggestions in this thread and the one over at the Team-Dystopia forums… those will form the basis of the next Cache.

Any idea what the update fixed?

Any idea what the update fixed?

Changed 4bit pngs to 24bit pngs for DS4+ and corrected the obj file and cr2 file for the Minigun handheld.

OK, thanks, got the update.

Really curious to see what folks are doing with our weapons… can someone please post a render?

I am very interested on getting feedback about the design of our Baradum Assault Rifle weapons system. Specifically your thoughts and suggestions on what other DAR compatible accessories we should include in our next pack.

Chainsaw (with blade morphs would be great)
Breaching Shotgun (mounted underslung like on the M16 in Vietnam)
Graple launcher
Speargun
Motion detector
Flamethrower

Just to name some that come to mind.

Lost the address and my account info for team dystopia’s forums unfortunately…so I have been absent there a long time.

. . . Specifically your thoughts and suggestions on what other DAR compatible accessories we should include in our next pack.

Poses!  For me that means Genesis poses, I’m sure there are plenty who’d like M4/V4 poses.  Partial (hand/arm or upper-body) poses would be great, full poses would be fine too.

I’m always under some kind of time-crunch, even when I’m rendering for fun.  So when I need a weapon I’ll usually go with one that has accompanying usage poses, even if there’s a better one for my scene out there.  The render below is a perfect example — there are several Dystopian weapons that would’ve been perfect for it, but I went with a rifle from M5 Firearms with Expressions and Poses because I could just load the prop, load a pose for it, adjust a bit, and move on to the next thing.  Without that I could’ve easily spent an hour or more on it, and that’s an hour I rarely have.

Here’s a couple of kit bashed pieces.

Chainsaw... ??? I did not see that one coming. That’s even more awesome than my dual bladed bayonets.

Yep… we’ve got the breaching shotgun (our “master key”) on the list already.

The grapple launcher and speargun would be similar on the service side, it would just be differentiated from the business end of things. Not sure how to deal with spooling cables though.

The motion detector makes a lot of sense… definitely going to slap that on as a DAR accessory.

Yes… I do have a flamethrower in the works, but I am not too thrilled about my design solution for the fuel canisters yet.

Let me try to find your account there… and then send you a PM here… will reset the password for you. If you no longer have that email account active, I can disable the old account so we can start up a new one, but will keep all your older posts.

Can’t help with Genesis, sorry… Buuuuuttt…on the M4/V4/G2/Miscellaneous cool figures I like side of things…well, can’t say too much yet.

I should note the render below was just a quick render, banged out at low settings to test the Poses with some clothes (and the clothes are from mixed sets so what issues there are were not the poses).

Aha! I see that most folks prefer the little light that original comes with the Cleaver rather than the floodlight that actually comes with the Baradum. Good to see that these pieces kit-bash well.

Thank you for sharing, Greycat.

Noted. I will really need to pass that request up to tyger_purr… I’m just the guy who puts the mesh together. All the real work, like mapping, texturing, rigging, posing, promos and packaging are all done by tyger_purr. I only get to do the fun stuff.

I’ll post a link to this in our forums as well so he doesn’t miss it.

Thank you for that valuable bit of feedback, KickAir.

Love the recruitment poster… and those are pretty awesome poses… don’t forget slashing and thrusting poses that could be used with the dual bayonets or even a (dare I say it)... a chainsaw!

Did you get my message about access back into T-D?

Thanks, glad to hear you like them, been working on them a while.  I most certainly will have some poses for the bayonet, but haven’t gotten to the second set yet (these ballooned from a planned 10-15 poses to about 40, plus hand poses and positioning poses to place the weapons right in hand, etc…  M4 is almost done, and V4 will be soon to follow, then I will probably start on Poses for Cache set 2…when I get close to releasing I’ll post more information and promos in the commercial forum, I don’t want to hijack your thread).

Did you get my message about access back into T-D?

Yes, Thank you.  Heading over there in a bit.

  Also, anyone who wishes, feel free to download and use the recruitment poster as a texture in your renders (even though it is rough and low res - I’ll make a better one soon).
