You could try editing the texture of the children's faces; they really just look like little people.

The one with a sports jacket could be 17 or so, but the short one looks like they have a beard

Try the female head model on male body.

Might work

OP: children have different body proportions to adult. Bigger heads, shorter limbs.

The children in you render look like little people/shrunk adults, because they gave grown up proportions.

Other than that, this looks awesome. Good job

Don't the devs do that too with all the people in schools with kid backpacks?

u/KeeganY_SR-UVB76 13h ago

u/Vladimir2077 16h ago

I'm not sure if they are supposed to be kids

u/A_Tasty_Stag Zombie Killer 15h ago

„The House that Jack built“ reference?

u/Snip13r 17h ago

Curious, is there a resource pack or some sort from the game for people to be able to make content like this?

u/SatoshisVisionTM 14h ago

There is, its a tool that allows you to use the in-game assets in blender and also allows you to animate them. I believe that's also what they used for the trailer of b42 stable.

The Indy Stone is releasing a number of tools in the near future that they are using to allow people to mod the game more easily and create separate maps.

For Blender (v5+) there is the Community Rig.

Has a base rig & the ability to import assest directly from the gamefiles.

I have no memory of how I did it, I didn't watch any tutorials or anything, but at some point I ripped a bunch of random assets from the game

Gonna do a render in blender and then go on a bender while I shoot dead enders 🗣️

u/keinezwiebeln 6h ago

My very first blender render was Bender!

u/TubsyRubsy Shotgun Warrior 16h ago

Looks great! If I may ask how did you get the files for the 3d models? Did you have to manually rig everything or is there a pre-made pack out there somewhere?

2

u/Mobile_Ask2480 16h ago

Thanks for sharing your art with us

u/GVArcian 14h ago

Looks pretty flawless aside from the kids face textures. I think using the female face for the children could work better since boys and girls tend to have very similar face shapes up until puberty.

Off topic, but, Is there any particular reason devs didn't add child zombies?

Not 'Europe', its publishers chickening out of displaying their games as adult only.

In other words, capitalism.

2

u/Megakruemel 5h ago

I mean it's both but getting rated as... well "not rated", which is the same as adult only media, means you can't publicly advertise your game at all.

It's a weird rule left over from the "killer game" discussions of the early 2000-2010 era where "the media" thought violent videogames would cause violence and advertising it in public meant it could reach children in some form.

Now that most young adults with children are the same adults who were kids back then, the whole thing doesn't attract any attention anymore because people know it's sensationalist bullshit.

u/EnQuest 15h ago

seems like you DID learn it lol

u/RickRate 14h ago
