March 7,2003 SpongeBob SquarePants Skin by qUiCkSiLvEr ============================================================================= Title : SpongeBob SquarePants in All His Glory Author : qUiCkSiLvEr Web Page : http://www.mindspring.com/~ottalini/qUiCkSiLvEr.htm Description : Model of SpongeBob SquarePants Created for [USA]Rev for Half-Life Additional Credits to : [USA]Rev for paying for my copy of MilkShape that let me create this model for him. ============================================================================= This is a totally custom model for [USA]Rev, member of Team USA. This model was created totally from scratch other than the skeleton and animations that were converted and scaled from a variety of different Half-Life models, (and quite and effort at that!). The textures were gathered from many sources, but the best one came from DocRock and BabyKitKat, thanks you two! All model work was done in Milkshape 1.6.5. All of the graphics work was done using Microsoft Imager2, Wally, Photostyler, mgi Photosuite, and any other tool that let me do what I needed. I created the entire mesh in one marathon session, about 8 hours total time. The animations took another 4 or 6 hours and there were several hours checking all the animations (LOL, you should have seen what it looked like at Cucamonga Chunk O'Phlem with 8 or 10 Spongebobs all fragging each other like mad!). This model is a little over 1/2 scale (0.54 actually). I tried to make it larger but it just didn't look right IE: it got too wide, so this is what it is and so be it. This model has the following statistics: Verticies: 610 Triangles: 1132 Groups: 6 Materials: 4 Joints: 22 All in all, not bad!
