Spring RTS Engine

Thud +1, WIP, I kept it similar to the original, but not too similar, keep in mind that this is my 2nd inf/kbot
Suggestions, anyone?

CA thud:

Suggestions:

1. One small English thing: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. to nth.
(First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth in word form)

2. How about a picture of the previous thud model to compare?

looks ok could afford more detail seeing as the tri count is low

spherebot is around 1k and its spammed with really no fps diff

Yeah, as I said, I just wanted to get the base shape right, so I could start adding more details later.

dont really like the whole pretruding crotch area thing i know the original thud had it but it doesnt really look nice on urs .

from the side the legs also look a bit skinny and awkward

Yeah, it looks like it will fall foreward, maybe af will explain it a little better with a "gravity at work" picture?

Like this:

Is the CA thud the OTA model? It looks better than OTA somehow... has this already been remodeled once?

I like your model except for the side view where it looks a bit like it's made out of lego. Maybe toning down the crotch would help with this.

Gravity

ca is the ota, maybe it just looks a bit better becaus of something like a lua shader, whatever

@AF lol it looks like a gun

*snicker*

This is more how I see it...

dont forget those thingies on the back of the barrels that go back in recoil, those would look cool.

AMke it tripple few times awsome for this unit to do when it dies.(the deperate dead dance besides the exploding version.(nice model hoi i like this model)

The problem is that when I remove it it will look even more skinny and awkward, I can tweak a bit, but removing it will look really, relly stupid

Re-approach the design, then. Look at it as an opportunity to correct that problem with the old model. It's not like there aren't various valid solutions to the problem of visual balance, they just require re-thinking the model, instead of simply reproducing it with a bit more polycount.

you could put a little head between his knees instead of the rod.

ther is some thud love

Its not bad, but it doesn't really bring anything fresh to the unit Hoi, I mean no disrespect.

Maybe this model will bring some inspiration.

Woah, where's that model from? Is it a useable model?
