What do you think if my first attempt at a Renegade comic?
It took a while to get the BH preset to work in-game. I found out my dilemma was simply my spawner had Starts Disabled checked 
Attached is the png version (with no compression artefacts)

That's pretty cool, mate! Nice going  .
|
Thanks
EDIT: Havoc posing
Extra Notes:
In the PKG file havoc actually appears after 20 seconds (customs and disabled spawners). I planned to do that so I could have some shots with him in and out of the picture. In the end his "head place" was chopped out of the only image for this comic without his head in the first place.
The soldier had no innate behaviour (so he wouldn't turn, move or engage combat). He would gesture every now and then (as you can see in the images) so I was able to take advantage of those moments.
Finally I used the hud0 console command for taking the screenshots.

Notes:
This comic was pretty straightforward, I didn't need to use renegade once. All the screen-shots were taken in LE.
If someone can point out the bones file I need to use to change a character pose I'll be forever grateful.
The lossless PNG version is attached for those who want it.
EDIT: Havoc has swirly heel grips on his boots!

Notes:
Again, this was all done in LE. The (dodgy) lips were done in photoshop,the Visceriod and the "mirror" were also done in photoshop.
Again attached is the lossless PNG version.
This was probably the easiest of the three so far. Mind you I personally think it's not as good as No.2 (dsp_comfychair)
Thanks for the comments!
EDIT: Re-uploaded the current comic with a grey-background and added a quick video of the hilarious Visceroid (Xvid format)
Please don't stream the video file-I don't think the sever can handle it.
The hand of... Havoc?

The video doesn't seem to work.

Do you have the Xvid codec? If not just download VLC media player and view it with that.

Notes:
Sorry I couldn't post the PNG version, but the file was too big. I could have reduced the colours but that would have ruined the whole idea of a full quality image.
All the screen-shots were taken in-game this time, as the characters weren't posable in LE. Mind you I didn't pose them, I just waited until they played one of their Loiter animations before snapping pictures.
I tried to place the engineer into the ground, but of course he wouldn't spawn so I had to photoshop his feet out.
In the first mini-frame I forced the soldier's pose by shooting him in the head (notice the cloud of blood to the right of his head ) and in the second I simply killed him before snapping my shots 
Again, if anyone knows what bones file I need to use/edit to pose the models, please tell me.
Below are two LE shots of this comic.

I've finally worked out how to edit the bones to pose the characters. The file I was after was s_a_human.w3d under %MODDIR%\Characters.
Of course all other animations become relative to this file
Expect to see posed comics soon!

Notes:
I'll upload the PNG version in a minute.
Havoc was posed in RenX for these shots (as describe in the previous post) In the third panel havoc was supposed to have a "bighead", but unfortunately resizing the bone didn't work.
This comic's images were taken from within LE like comic No. 2 and 3.
Again seeing as the postures WW made for the characters are relative to the current bone set the Walk-though Havoc looked messed up.
The camera on top of the TV was a VIS spot. Anoyyingly LE wouldn't allow me to make one when there wasn't any vis calculated. I cheated by setting granularity to max and checking the Quick and Dirty box
If you have any comments or requests (original files, help on posing or comic suggestions just post.

P.S. Guess what map I posed this on.

M03.mix

Did you work it out by the backdrop or by the last few comics scenario?
