Out of generic boredom, Jaanus, the modeler for Sassilization, has produced another fantastic piece of work. I present to you, the new Sassilization view model. This will replace the ‘gordon gloves’ which never made sense since everyone is citizens.

It features a ‘wrist band’ which is colored according to your player color. This is done without making the arm colored with the use of render targets which I only just discovered. When ordering around units it plays a super cool finger pointing animation, you guys (and girls) will love it.

Here is a Lua mockup of how the inventory slider will display your inventory items. Enjoy.

Also, Jaanus is passing his skill on to me. Although I wouldn’t say I’ve reached his skill level, this is one of my first models, which will hopefully be used in the inventory to represent an ‘outfit’ which you can wear. Why? It just wouldn’t make sense to have player models in your inventory to represent your clothes.
