Core Slasher Missle Truck +1

MR.D · Post by **MR.D** » 10 Nov 2007, 10:43

Here is my model remake all done, went with a bulkier look on the heatshield behind the cockpit area.

Also set it up, so that when the missle pod is raised, that the bottom missile tube gets a clear unobstructed lateral shot when shooting forwards.

Tri count is at 583, which is a little high but this thing has 16 wheels and 4 track objects.

Hope you guys enjoy this.

Final in-game Scrpited Model & textures.
**edit**
Script fixed, read Rattle's last post for Mod fixes.

could always make it a halftrack instead (but then it may be too similar to the samson, i dunno.) that will drop the tri-count. but at 554 i wouldnt say you had a major problem with the count (does this include hidden faces?)

There are no hidden faces in the count. I included the wheels into the total, just hid them for the render.

Well imo it has the same "problem" your Goliath has:
It's too short in length and that's why I think it looks ... clumsy. And with too short I mean just the "cargo area" the cockpit is perfectly fine but if you compare your model with the original Slasher you'll see that they used about 2x the cockpit length for the cargo area while you just use 1.5x. The difference isn't big when you see the numbers but it has a big visual impact imo...

i agree, i think the cockpit should be longer.. mabye a touch higher, but then it obstructs the rockets..

I think it would be a better idea to change the design to have the cargo area be thicker so it doesn't look as silly with the missile "tower" on the back and instead looks more like a turret.

Tweaks.

better/worse?

Green one is the OTA slasher
Silver is my remodel

How can it fire forward, hopefully the missile turret raises above front wall?

Most likely... or +noclip :P

I'd love to see some sort of built-in reload mechanism, similar to what you see on the LAAT in Star Wars (best shot of it is as the LAATs are lifting off from rescuing the jedi in the stadium in Episode II)

Naw, just most bored guy with extra free time.
Best that I could hope for is equality with some of the other guys here.

ianmac · Post by **ianmac** » 11 Nov 2007, 08:01

I think you've done grate justice to the OTA modles.

Noruas · Post by **Noruas** » 11 Nov 2007, 08:02

there is no equality, you are beyond them.
