pro tip: you are allowed to make units consist of more than one object (in fact its recommended)

LIES! ALL LIES!!!! *Assumes fetal position*

rcdraco · Post by **rcdraco** » 12 Oct 2007, 19:14

Units have to consist of more then one object, especially in a mech like this. You should have the guns/arms as objects[possibly merged], and the core and head as one, and hip as another. Legs should be thigh, and shin for decent animation.

Oh, and I don't really need a mech...

rattle · Post by **rattle** » 12 Oct 2007, 19:46

That is no mech, it's clearly a girl in a dress with broken kneecaps.

ianmac · Post by **ianmac** » 13 Oct 2007, 02:08

is this the right idea. and it is't a girl it's just a realy bad unit design

I wanted something more like this:

This is the UberMech, clocked at a massive wasted 122 polygons, and 388 Triangles of bona fide low bar Wings 3d Modeling techniques.

Ianmac, all joshing aside, the mech looks like a good model to learn how to uvmap with. Use it to start teaching yourself the basics, you'll (er, hopefully) get a much better idea of how much should be skin, and how much should be polygons, by trying that...

I was just mesing around. 160 some odd polies

That actually looks pretty sweet, although you could probably get away with making the spike on top four sides without losing the look.

Good model for a certain type of probe. Not telling you which, neddie would edit it out.

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 19 Oct 2007, 00:42

Logic probe!

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 19 Oct 2007, 20:18

I'm pretty sure that I would be justified in doing so, but the implication is bad enough.

I make something too!

487 faces.

Could be a powerplant or some kind of storage...

Anybuddy wants it?

Edit: rattle, its teh magnetic field which locks the ball inside, of course we need cage to generate the field...

Edit: smoth, wtf is CEG? I just made that model to show the structure of it, not any fancy effects :D And i was thinking to make the ball as polygon inside, spinning to random directions, metallic and reflective ball or something.

Edit: the first version was without cage, and that cage came up as an upgrade. So when the plant is too powerful, it needs cage or the ball will fly out of it because of the levitation force. It could be a weapon too, which shoots that ball out...

rattle · Post by **rattle** » 21 Oct 2007, 20:46

Is that a cage to lock the energy up like some animal?

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 21 Oct 2007, 20:50

trademark, delete the ball and use a CEG to replicate the effect of a glowing core.

Win and what smoth said [smoth'd].

This is usuable for FF [again].

Custom Explosion Generator

as in use spring's particle system to generate a glowing orb.

TradeMark · Post by **TradeMark** » 22 Oct 2007, 15:25

I make corpse too

It has been partly imploded and exploded. Ball dropped on the bottom and broked a bit.

Did you UV map the "living" one first?

Also your model lacks smoothing groups. Select a couple of faces and use set smooth/set solid from the edit panel to see the difference in blender.
