Ember McLain

Description
To start off, I guess I am at a disadvantage here as I really had no idea who Ember McLain was until I saw this file and googled the name. Apparently a spectral character from the Danny Phantom cartoon series, this character sports dazzling neon blue hair! ;)

So lets have a look at this model and skin, and see how it measures up to the reference pictures I managed to find online. Well my first impressions are good, it does indeed look like the character from the TV show, the hair is pretty accurate, and the clothing is also accurate to the actual character. The model is cel shaded, which is appropriate since it is of a cartoon character, and I think the effect looks good.

To give the character that ghostly glow, the author has added a pulsing glow shader to the skin. Personally I am a bit divided on whether I like the effect or not, to be honest I think I would have preferred if the skin was either completely glowy, or completely non-glowy. But that’s just me!

Team skins are also included, the hair being changed from that bright neon blue to either red for the red team or green for the blue team, which did seem a little strange. But then again the default skin has the blue hair, so I guess the author had to choose a different colour for the blue team skin!

Now, onto the bugs…unfortunately there are a few of these. Although the author did explain in his readme that this was a one time only skin that he used to test his ideas. The main bug I noticed was when the character glows the shading on various parts of the model seems to glitch a bit, forming white triangles. Also, unfortunately this doesn’t include any new sounds. I think some sound clips from the TV show would have been cool here.

Overall though good work here, but I really feel that some more time should have been spent polishing it up a bit more. Well, if you guys like the look of this file, be sure to give it a download! :)
