Model's history

The capoiera fighter is a pretty old model, in fact it took it more than one year to reach a game :)
Originally designed for QuakeIIIArena - hence the low polygon count - , the model was later used as a test model to be brought to UT2003. The result was pretty good, and finally releasing the model is somehow my way to thank mOOse for the incredile skinwork he did on it :) As you can notice a 3DS file and two GIF images are alo included in the ZIP package for your skinning needs if any. For feedback on your work or if you need to ask anything about the model/texture sheets, mail me here : pior_o@yahoo.com.
