NOTES
-----
This Model has plenty of polys to make Homer look his roundest. I figured Since it's deathmatch you're not gonna have too many other models on the screen so I made it appx 1000 polys. Hope it's not a problem for anyone.


1.1
Uhmm sorry about the quick new release. I forgot to finish Homer's Belching animation (Salute). Also there was a few skin tweeks I forgot to make, (must have gotten lost in the excitment of releasing it). I'd make more skins for him but I'm at a loss for ideas. I could do a Dancin' homer, but he is without a cape and hat, I could do Church Homer, Mr.Plow, and Pin Pals, but I don't know what they look like. If someone could send me a pic of them I'd gladly do the skins.

Defence:
Here's the explanation for the high poly count and the taunts.

High Polygon count: Well like I said I wanted him to be round, not boxy as most models are. I think most of our computers can handle it easy. The 600 limit is stupid nowadays especially in Deathmatch. Also If it didn't have a high poly count the man wouldn't have facial expresions like anger, vacancy, fear, DOH!, etc...so there :)

Taunts: Does anyone use taunts properly? I don't, so rather than having the lame typical animations (like point), I decided to give it somthing more entertaining

I thankyou for tolerating my insecurity... heh

1.3
Homer is now as tall as the regular player model...looks kinda timy now but you won't be wondering why your railgun went right though his head w/o a scratch. his salute animation is fixed making his lips ripple simulating a mighty belch.

there's a new skin I did of the negotiator, I'll do more but I have to do them when I'm not doing 'work' work :) think that's all.

BUGS
----
None that I know of
