Graphically Fat Characters And Zombies

[FeFe]

There's not much to explain, bodies shouldn't just be traits. Fat zombies have reduced mobility, make more noise (which may attract more zombies to you), can break wooden fences but cannot go through small windows, the same should be true for the player, but him could not jump high fences.

I agree. At the very least they should have different body models. Different heights too.

Yes, please! I want to play a fat, donut munching cop!

Hmm. Do we have donuts in the game? Don't remember seeing any. :/

Google tells me that 36.6% of the residents in KY are obese. So maybe a 1/3rd of the zombies stumbling about should have a larger model? Makes sense to have them move slower, but are harder to push back, etc

I’d love to see this as well

Agreed ! It's a bit weird when your character is out of shape and overweight but still looks fit. Different zombie models would also add more variety to the world.

Not as simple as it might seem. All 3D apparel models would have to be adjusted to different size zombie/character models.

I'd imagine they'd use morph targets for fat and thin variants and have it scale along to suit the character's current levels of chubbiness. They could do the same with strength and height too. I wouldn't rule it out happening later down the road, so long as it doesn't hammer performance that is.

Also zombies could become thin and skeletal after a number of ingame months, making them look even creepier

Made this mod to make all player characters (zeds not included) Fat, Obese, underweight, emmanciated and muscular when required, take a look.

That's not at all how the models work, sadly...
