So Hi everyone. It's my first post on this site.
I took the liberty of creating my  own version of the GTVA Colossus, and i thought I'd share it with you guys. Its made in Cinema 4d and exported to 3ds.

A warm welcome from me, too!

luckies... my comp won't access any of the links to his stuff... 

[Unknown Target]

Most awesome, welcome to HLP

[Herra Tohtori]

Greetings, salutations, and welcome to the Hard Light Productions!


You can make the link work by replacing the x's in "hxxp" with t's, by the way... I'm assuming it's a simple typo.

*can't believe this is actually happening*

It would need turrets first

[Hades]

Welcome to HLP. Stay around and you can do all kinds of things.
Thanks for releasing it. 
Oh and if it is not to much to ask for, can you release the Arcadia?

[ragingloli]

Yes, however it needs some cleanup first, and that can take a while...Especially since im going to bed now.
Cya all later!

Just looked at the model in Cinema 4D (demo) and SketchUp.  Its an amazing model!  Has a great amount of detail.  Its a little on the polygon heavy side (~30k polys, and tile textured) though.  Also, it has a couple of geometry errors (inverted normals, missing/overlapping faces, etc), so someone professional would have to spend some time with it before it would be ready for in-game.  But that doesn't stop me from hoping that we will see this in-game sometime in the near future.

Well I opened it in Wings and it is not a closed mesh. It is in many parts.

And not all of them are quite connected.

Well, in all fairness, it was designed to be rendered, not as an in-game model, it's sitting at 30K polies, so there's lots of room for detail-box stuff. If nothing else, it gives an excellent template to build on.

Oh, and it's fun to use in my renderer too, I might post if a pic if ragingloli doesn't mind me doing so

poor trashman...

[Hellstryker]

THANK YOU GOD !!! (it was me who contacted you)

[Akalabeth Angel]

poor trashman...

      I thought trashman was doing the concept art Colossus anyway which is entirely different from the normal one.

It's a nice model - well done ragingloli.

However, as Flipside has said - it was designed for rendering, so there'll need to be a fair bit of work done before it can be put into the MVPs, and I don't have time to do that. It will need the geometry errors fixed, turrets added and probably some work to get it to use detail boxes to reduce the load a full 30 000 poly model like this will put on GPUs.

Based on that, I don't think it will make it into the upcoming MVP release, but it could definitely go into a patch or something once it's finished.
