Symbiote Pack

Description
Boy it\'s been a long day! But long days can have their rewards, and [i]your[/i] reward for being so patient is the long-awaited Venom (or \"Symbiote\" as they decided to call it) pack. I\'m sure we all know the idea behind the symbiote, even if only from the Spider-Man 3 commercials: the symbiote is a bad blob from space that bonds to folks and makes them [i]completely nuts[/i]. And, naturally, snazzy-looking.

Let\'s get into the nitty gritty. This pack contains the following characters:[list][*]Spider-Man 3 Venom[*]Mac Gargan Venom[*]Comic Venom (Comic Venom model)[*]Comic Venom (Spider-Man 3 Model)[*]Toxin[*]Poison[*]Carnage[*]Spider Carnage[/list]I\'m not going to pretend I have the faintest clue which one is which -- well, I do for a few of them -- but it\'s not really important which one\'s which as far as I\'m concerned. I got a chance to test these out while I was futzing around while my cable was out for the last three hours, so I got a quick lesson in Spider-Man 101: The Many Villains of Spider-Man.

After a cursory review of the models, I had very little to complain about. The textures all seem very well done, and each skin looks quite different despite there being only two actual models here (comic Venom model by Eclypse and Spider-Man 3 Venom model by Almighty Gir). The rigging here still leaves a lot to be desired, and a few more days of extensive tweaking and fixing would have gone a long way toward removing some of the bulging in the deformation, tearing at seams, and in some areas vertices weighted to the wrong bones. Minor beta testing should have revealed these problems, after which they should have been fixed. I\'m unsure why they still exist in this release and they personally drag the quality of the pack way down for me... being as how I don\'t like being able to see through my model\'s legs...

Overall with some major weighting fixing it\'ll be a great usable pack. Don\'t taunt and you might not notice the improper weighting in the hand areas, and don\'t look too close at your legs... take this simple advice and you\'ll get the most out of these models and skins. They\'re still worth having, although I certainly [i]do[/i] hope the weighting gets fixed, ASAP.
