~1.1k tris so far. I'm not too worried about the tri count, it's supposed to be a pretty rare unit plus the mod design would allow loading thousands of tris' worth of guns on the thing anyway. It's still lacking arms though those will only show if a certain weapon is installed, this is pretty much the basic configuration of the mech.

Nice KDR. Reminds me a little of the Nova Cat mech from CBT.

Now that you mention it...

"Chicken legs" are a design which allow both mobility and balance for units with a normal center of balance but high peripheral weight. Not everything is cosmetic, Gota.

Love it, KDR, but imo the feet don't match the aesthetic of the rest of the design. I think a blockier one-toe foot would work fine here.

Zsinj is right about the toes, they're just a bit too delicate for the rest of the model. The model overall rocks out.

AA turret, i think it looks cool
but im just wondering how to animate it, i want the guns to slide over the half sphere thing, anyone?Re: Random WIP

impossible the wy you have modeled it im sorry to say. unless you made the whole sphere tilt for elevation.
you could accomplish the sphere with ~half the tris, and elimiate the modeled bevels on the base while you are at it.
for reference:
342 tris
~250 tris
Spring's ability to smoothly shade things means you dont need 1000's of polygons to make things look smooth

its only 343 polys and i did not use bevels, but if it cant slide over the top i will just make it a ground turret so it doesnt have to move in y that muchPressure Line wrote:impossible the wy you have modeled it im sorry to say. unless you made the whole sphere tilt for elevation.

i would do something like this (well actually, i DID do it, easier to model than explain)
188 tri's :)

I think Hoi wanted to model something like this (only his gun has 2 barrel sets):
This pic shows quite clearly how it is able to aim upwards.
And yes, the model doesn't allow for that and needs to be redone.

i was thinking along these lines:
Six of one, half a dozen of the other really. Either way, Hoi's model is incapable of elevation
