She is indeed. Stunning. Even I do double takes.

A day later, and a little bit of progress (was busy today).





Amazing what better lighting and further refined materials can do. Now if I could just figure out how the bones in the face work to create realistic poses...

One of these days I'll up-res her texture.  For the time being though, I'm not complaining

Course, I have 9 other squaddies to up-res eventually as well

My only complaint is can you fill her neck? Her neck is clipping her strap. Other then that, it's hawt.

Damn clipping errors...

Also, what you're looking at is basically a fancy material using mostly ingame textures.  Imagine if I did to her what I did to Tali (you know the renders I'm referring to).

Potential is high.

I was referring to my 3dsmax material set-up for Tali.  Instead of the texture being 1024x1024, I kicked it up to 4096x4096 (then added detail maps and separate materials for different parts).

Miranda is (thankfully) far simpler.

You should do that to Miri, of course when you have the time(pleese do it :innocent:)

I have an absurd amount of free time; I'll do it after my current two modelling projects.

Tali did look amazing, can't wait to see how Miri looks.

....she looks so real. If only she could look like that in the game. Damn the xbox for keeping graphics standards low.

[DirtyVagrant]

The hug, that's from the part where Miranda asks you to promise not to die again, right?

Yes. But you only get it if you answer "No promises" (Shepard actually says "It doesn't work that way. We could all be dead this time tomorrow. So if it's not worth it...."). I prefer that answer not only because of the hug, but because it's the honest answer.

And if I can use stuff the devs didn't address to draw negative conclusions, I can us them to draw positive ones as well. Besides, she does comment approvingly on Thane and Mordin.

Lol good point.

I agree with you. I've never thought Miranda was arrogant, specifically. I merely thought she was aware of the full extent of her capabilities, as a robot might be. She seems to take no pleasure in it, and I've always thought of arrogance as one taking pleasure in oneself.

I agree as well.

[Nightwriter]

Well just to prove we haven't exhausted all Miranda topics, here's this.

I was just replaying Lazarus Station again and I've gotten to the part where Miranda kills Wilson.

I was all, "You should've taken him alive. Now you can't question him."

And her answer, of course, is, "Too risky. I've spent too much time on you to have you killed now."

Am I the only one that thought this was kind of weak? I mean Wilson posed absolutely no threat to me. Miranda already knew he was a traitor, he could've easily been handcuffed and carted off. Killing him is a waste.

Yeah that never made any sense to me either.  He's wounded, has 1 weapon, the only combat application of his omnitool is harmless (more or less) to organics, and you know to watch him.  Though perhaps since she failed to see the threat he posed before everything went to hell she doesn't want to take the chance of under estimating him again.

[Raizo]

Alot of people have a problem with the Miranda killing Wilson thing, I don't but that's probably because I never really thought all that much about it. I trust Miranda and Wilson always gave off a creepy vibe that amde me never trust him so I have no real doubt that he was a traitor. The real probelm seems to stem from the fact that we don't really seem to know what his motive was and if he was just trying to kill Miranda or trying to kill Shepard and Miranda. We know there was a money issue on his part. It also seems that he was unhappy with how Cerebus ( more specifically Miranda ) was treating him. I also got the imression that that he had a thing for Miranda and that her continued harsh treatment of him turned his obession into somthing darker although that could just be me.

[jtav]

This may make me a hypocrite, but wow! That model of Miranda is gorgeous. I'm feeling motivated to start work early today.

As for Wilson, I think wounded pride also played a small role. He got one over on her.

And another topic: When did Miranda start viewing Shepard as a person instead of the subject of the Lazarus Project? For the better part of two years, he's just meat and tubes to her and a corpse she's been tasked with resurrecting. Certainly, I didn't get the sense that she cared about Shep beyond the mission during the prologue.

Sometimes I feel like the Miranda of the prologue is a different (and creepier and more fascinating) character.

[Nightwriter]

I have no problem with her killing him morally. It just seems like a waste of potential information. I can't really think of a good reason to do it, even "she just didn't want to underestimate him again."

I felt like Wilson was a bit of a plot hole in this regard. And yes, I thought he might have a thing for Miranda. His data logs certainly gave that impression (to me). "I thought she'd be happy but she's still the same old ice queen..." "Maybe now Miranda will appreciate me..."

When does she start? Almost immediately after acquiring the SR2, it seems. The first regular conversation on the Normandy is about normal in tone. And this is much too fast. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks she changes her attitude towards Shepard too fast.

As for Wilson, shooting him because keeping him alive is "too risky" is indeed weak. Especially considering we don't know anything about his motivations. Perhaps Miranda knows and she keeps it secret - that's what I interpret into this scene, for not keeping him alive for interrogation would be stupid otherwise.
