]The models have undergone many changes since the 1.27 days; we have had a few different models created for use in Urban Terror, while the skins have improved over the years. BotKiller originally used the base Quake III Sarge model, since it was the "most realistic" looking model that could be used. Freakstorm created a few different skins that would replace the default Sarge skin, prior to new models being created. As development continued, we did create a new male model, which was skinned by Freakstorm who created two military style skins that hit a highpoint during 1.27. But those skins would be rather short lived as development moved forward to Beta 2. During this development cycle, “skins were changed in almost every 2.x release,?? says BladeKiller. “People hated the 2.3 skins; they were good skins but a bit too dark for most gamers to see easily. Unfortunately...Miles skins were hard to see and tell apart although beautifully made,?? said BladeKiller.?? BladeKiller came aboard because of our modeler, Earthquake and together they created some great pieces! BladeKiller has been honing her artistic skills and creating skins for a few years now and the model skins have seen a huge improvement over the original skins. You can see the changes as the different versions were released. For the upcoming release we have spent time working on skins that would be visible to teammates and opponents, as well skins that would not get lost in the details and colors of any given level. As we debuted Monday, in The 27 Days of Terror: Day 3 - SWAT Team, the SWAT player skins were the first of two new skins to be used in Urban Terror. The other skin that was created to offset the SWAT Team is known as the Red Dragons. The skins are orange in color, as the male models are wearing prison jumpers, while their female counterpart is decked out in orange motorcycle leather. This completes a theme around our new model skins as the SWAT Team pursues the Red Dragons through many different locations in an attempt to apprehend them. Catchy, eh? As development continues, a development team needs to be looking ahead on how to improve on current assets. Many of those assets in Urban Terror, such as the models had been unchanged for a few years. As for the skins, BladeKiller has been continuously working on improving the overall look and style of the player skins.
