wow looks great! each arm could have customizable weapons and stuff. u could have beeter ones at better lvl and even enclude something like a defence sent or shield on it. what program u useing for it?

uh probably not

we'll see how it goes getting it into game first then later maybe
some more work on the body

starting to look forward to adding "stuff" to the body of this one it's a simply design so leaves lots of room for mounted "stuff"

you could make it have a light sent or a defence sent and it could take up sent, turret, and vehicle points.... that would make it so you could only make blocks and that which would make it less overpowered since it is so expensive in points

all I'm doing is creating a vehicle here no movable sents . no way druid would agree with that

maybe a mini repulsor charge like the ion tank

canopy is getting better

much cooler looking version

sides are up next

OK model complete (for now) before the polygon count gets too high

going to do a basic skinning job on it , then try to get the animation linked properly, then the coding

Im sure you've thought of this but I just thought I would mention you might want to keep in mind the size issue....

for example: some of the turrets cant be spawned in areas where there is clearly enough room.

I would hate to see yougo to all this work and the machine not be usable.

yep unfortunately that 'll be in the coding
funny thing is this is currently the same size as a regular model/character I will make it larger in UnrealEd. soon it gets rough

wow thats amazing! great work! also with the sizing will it fit through doors or jsut be for open areas?

About the size issue, say it isn't spawnable indoors, can it have the ability to crouch or such like the darkwalker in ut3 or is it out of the question...? So it can fit indoors.
Mainly since I have no idea about coding and such, I dont know if it can be done.

I'm hoping that the alien skeleton animation will work properly so it will duck, jump, dodge everything (maybe even swim

)
if all goes as planned it will spawn in the crouch position so spawning space won't be much of an issue fingers crossed

thanks for all the compliments the skinning should be hard but fun thinking of a gray base with black and red for highlights/contours
, and I think I'll be able to get the headlights to work but it's a bit early for that yet

yeah or mayb keep the skinning in the style of one of the turrets or sentinel thats allready in UT

bit of an update after some basic skinning and an attempt to get it in game
I've discovered the poly count got out of control so I'll have to do some simplifying of the original model to bring down the poly count
more work more time but stuff I can fix so back a step or two

hey road, whenever u finish may test it? or at least see the model? i reaaaaly want to see ur work

when I get it animated I'll try to make a video of it in action

actually the Polygon purge went better than anticipated everything looks pretty much the same, and I added a few things to it Like a set of "stabilizing" wings at the back and a "block" engine thing on the back , I'll post more pics after a basic Skinning

EDIT
major lie on the poly purge linking the animation is going well tho so more redesign on the model
looks cool in game but poly count didn't reduce as much as I'd hoped

*squeal*

Wow.... nice job so far!!

been doing work on other stuff for a while trying to figure out how to make this work and unfortunately I've given up on it (for now)

however I found this by accident
