MR BURNS
When choosing a character for a 3D game model, I usually consider: Who can I most imagine running through halls and trying to destroy his enemies with huge guns? The megalomaniacal Mr. Burns from the Simpsons, of course! The monopolistic despot who blocked out the Sun, ran over Bart in his limo and hid barrels of nuclear waste in the city park was a perfect choice for the deadly arena of Unreal Tournament! I was the first to even attempt making this character into 3D format. I had some big shoes to fill since Mr. Burns is one of the most charismatic members of the Simpson menagerie. But I came through with another astounding effort. I added something rarely seen in a UT model: Changeable expressions! As he moves through the game, he grins, scowls, laughs and screams in agony. Plus he comes loaded with the best of the best sound clips from the show for your taunting amusement! A superior effort all around as you can see from this screenshot:
"Excellent!"
The good folks over at Polycount agreed that he was an amazing effort. And over 12,000 downloads later, he's still a favorite! But don't take my word for it, head on over to polycount and read up on him, then follow the Polycount links and download him into Unreal Tournament to do what he does best - vanquish his foes!
