Random WIP 2006-2011

[Argh]

That's a thought, bob. The original drawing for the Overmind commander was of a centaur- I rejected it because of polycount concerns. Maybe I'll revisit that.

[Pxtl]

For that hulk, I'd go less centauroid and more like the OTA Sumo an Armored Core Quad Legs setup.

[Argh]

This, other than the arm designs, is actually really close to the original drawing (IIRC, it's been over two years):



IDK whether I want to go that way or not yet, I'm just playing around with it.

[Pxtl]

That looks much more functional... but I'd think a different leg-structure would help faction differentiation, since you already have mammalian quadruped legs on Resistance units. That said, I can't imagine you rejected that over polycounts - doesn't look like it could have anything like the amount it would take to cause performance concerns... although texturemapping it wouldn't be fun.

[AF]

Im not a fan of the unit at all, I like the long turrets but that's about it, the rest of it just looks a bit meh. I'd come up with a new concept

[Guessmyname]

Or you could reference Pyramid Head. That would rock.

[Argh]

I'd have to give it a big sword, though, lol.

[bobthedinosaur]

I don't envy anybody trying to animate a 3-legged critter.

[rattle]

front leg walks like a bipedal and the rear legs behave like spider legs

[SpikedHelmet]

I just came.

[MR.D]

looks slow..

The rest of it is a pretty nice mech, I just dislike strongly the trileg config.

Its a balanced setup, but I can't imagine that mech moving faster than a slow crawl with 3 legs.

[Kenku]

Ahhh the Ares Mech of the now Defunk MechWarrior. Yea, it was never the fastest mech(didn't need to be, its really big and heavily armored), although part of it I believe was manuvarability as the center could rotate about its axis.
