=====Renegade Model Readme=====
===============================


Introduction
Let me thank you for downloading my GDI Engineer Officer. This model is for "unmodded" Renegade internet play. He is to replace the character Hotwire as a more generic officer unit by popular request.  I wanted to make him fit in with the rest of GDI and you'll notice a beard like the engineers in the first command & Conquer.  Also he has many packs for carrying so many explosives which Hotwire, undoubtably, stored in her boobies.

Installation
To install simply unzip all files (except this readme) in your Renegade data directory (defaulted as C:\Westwood\Renegade\data).  Instead of Hotwire you will have the Engineer officer.  To remove, delete all files that you placed in data.

Creation Notes
I used 3ds Max 4 for the mesh, Photoshop 6.0 for the skins, and Lithium unwrap for uv mapping (All top of the line tools).  Unfotunately, I also had to use the buggy GCrap tool.  The contruction took about three days and I am, overall, pleased with the result.  I have placed a jpeg of my concept sketch in case anyone is intersted; the model turned out very close to the original concept.  His polycount is a little bit higher than most of the multiplayer models, but not all of them; he is way within his budget.  There are a couple skin issues that I would like to resolve and I will probably do so in another release.  Contact me if you notice any glaring mistakes.

Distribution
Feel free to distribute or host this file, but you must give me credit.  It is my intellectual property.  I do not mind if you edit the model by skinning him, in fact, I hope someone would design some textures for him.

About me
I have been 3d modeling for a while now and have become very quick at the process.  I am less adept at skins, but I can usually produce what I require.  Currently I am looking to replace Renegade models to more closely resemble the original Command & Conquer, of which I was a huge fan.  I would also be interested in joining a serious Red Alert 1 "mod" to work on infantry models.  Feel free to contact me with any mistakes in my model, comments, critques, advice, if you have a suggestion for which character to replace next, or about a Red Alert 1 project.  Look for me in any Renegade team change server along with my Agents.  I go by Agent Gibson, and if you notice an Agent name it might be one of us.

Conclusion
As a sidenote, I have completed "skins" for Patch and Deadeye giving them a uniform that more closely resembles GDI infantry.  You can download them along with a few other skins that I am releasing.
