Free Soldier Model:
This is a 2,547 polygon player model that works in-game. Simply overwrite the player.dts file in the Torque FPS demo and, of course, include the texture map in the same folder (one 512x512 map).

P.S. where there any animations in the basic freebie model? I'm clueless when it comes to art stuff, so maybe I just didn't set up the play thread stuff right!

@Will: Just wanted to let you know that we used this model in the RTS-SK Community "resources, buildings, and villagers" add-on package--thanks again!P.S. where there any animations in the basic freebie model?

The model is using the same basic skeleton as the demo's orc player, so it "adapts" to the existing orc animation sets that come with your demo. I didn't make any animations myself for this particular model.
This is where the files should be placed:
C:\torque\example\starter.fps\data\shapes\player
There is a file in that folder named "player.dts." That's the one you want to overwrite. After that you should be able to run the demo like normal and the new player model should appear, completely interactive with all the existing animations.
If you're not seeing the animations/threads in the viewer tool, it's probably because the corresponding .dsq and .cfg files are not in the same folder. Just make sure all the files are together in the same folder and you should see the animations no problem.

Thanks again!

Ok sounds great, I'll look into the .dsq files specifically, and also see if we're actually handling the start of the animations themselves.Thanks again!

I'm looking at the source for the model (the milkshape file), and I don't see any kind of skeleton. Does it need one? In other words, if I modify the mesh and re-export to a dts, will I see my modified player model? I guess I don't see how it maps the mesh to the skeleton. I'm at work right now I only have an unregistered copy (no save/export) so can't try it out.

So I hate to ask a dumb question here, but here it is. I was overjoyed to see this model, as I wanted to replace the orc model. I downloaded the model and put the new guy in my game and it works! I can actually change him quite a bit just with the skin, however I would also like to change the shape of his helmet a bit.

Ah so it's doing automatic enveloping on the model then? So I imagine if I distorted the model too much, I'd start to see odd behavior on the animations. I'm pretty used to enveloping etc. in XSI for Half-Life 2 etc. but the whole DTS thing is sorta new to me.

Gotta get rid of those monster hands and that gas mask though! Ah and change the helmet into a hardhat.
This is part of a forest visualization project I'm doing at Oregon State University.

Use MilkShape to export the model in the format you want. If you want the animations (dts) I think your out of luck since the source wasn't released.
