I opened up the Unreal 97 editor and looked at the models for a bit.....thinking of ways to get these out (what am I thinking, there IS no way to get them out) But then I looked at the Polygons mode for a second and thats when it hit me....
I took a top down snapshot of the firefly for starters, added red dots to mark each vertex, and loaded it into blender. After a few minutes the final result was such:
I then decided to take upon something more complex, and I did the blob......to my surprise it not only came out well, it looks almost identical to the blob from the actual unreal 97 alpha
The only oddity I can point out is the way the tentacle is mapped, but aside from that its very close. This leaves me sitting with one thing and one thing only in my sights......I'm sure I don't have to explain myself past this point
Stay tuned for more updates

They are spitting images of the originals! And, no coding exists for the creatures in question, most were unanimated (blob for example) aside from the import code. Looking at the bug eyed BigMan, it seems like some of him went into GasBag instead. I suppose for the most of it, animation wise, it'll be from imagination, no?
