This was as far as I got before I got bored. I was gonna rig it for animation but got carried away with the beveling and face insetting.

Stick a suitably huge and hulking top on it... I dare you.

Post by: neo_hermes on March 07, 2005, 02:20:09 pm: looks like a spotlight to me
Title: *jumps on the Mech bandwagon*
Post by: StratComm on March 07, 2005, 02:38:51 pm: Yeah in the interests of everyone here, I suggest moving the spotlight to one side. There's not a particularly good reason for it to be sitting front and center of the bottom of the chassis.

Actually, that's the most efficient position It can ligh up things fore and aft, and left and right to a degree as well.

It'd be a good spot for an aqueous crowd-control weapon as well. Gravity would keep the water pressure high. :p

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on March 08, 2005, 12:50:48 am: i like the reverse bending knees, very "clan"

and in all actuality if you were to slap some missile launchers outside the legs you would have an "Owens" sort of

actually, there will be a chain gun on the mechs nose (a'la Heli. Gunships) so the spot light can't really go anwhere else.

Post by: Sheepy on March 12, 2005, 05:24:45 pm: Whats sort of scale are we looking at here? to me it looks a fairly light, but thats just me of course. Excelent work all the same :D

Post by: Grug on March 13, 2005, 04:14:09 am: Hehe, all this mech stuff made me go back and replay through Mechassault 2: Lonewolf. :D

Looks much like an owens. :)

You should make the full version of the giant boss in the end of that game. :D

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on March 13, 2005, 10:06:06 am: Owens is 35 tons.If he was shaping it after her, then i would say about 35 tons, unless he was going for a IIC or a MK 2, in which case i would say 40 or 45. But wirth the advent of Strider (uninspired design that it is) i wouldn't make it a 40 tonner.

to be honest I hadn't put that much thought into it.

Post by: WMCoolmon on March 14, 2005, 05:35:44 pm: The legs look like the mech'd be ~60 tons, to me.

Post by: icespeed on March 16, 2005, 11:45:05 pm: don't put a top on it. just leave it as legs. how cool would it be to have these giant legs just stomping around randomly?it'd be like, cool.

At least put a neck and some guns on it. :p

Post by: delta_7890 on March 17, 2005, 08:24:21 am: Though reverse-joint legs look almost unstable. <<; I'd think a more humanoid design would fare better, but you're talking to someone who prefers Gundam and Dragonar and L-Gaim and the like to Battletech or Mechwarrior.

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on March 18, 2005, 11:09:35 pm: I'm a Battlemaster kind of guy. circa 3025, but if we want to go 3050, I'll take Natasha Kerenski's Warhammer IIC. By the way, there is an online table top version of btech if anyone is interested. Quite well done actually.

Megamek, I think.

It's been awhile since I checked on it, but MechWar 3D is still coming along, too...
Title: *jumps on the Mech bandwagon*
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on March 22, 2005, 03:49:19 pm: Yeah it was megamech....mechwar? better worse, same quality just different set up?
Title: *jumps on the Mech bandwagon*
Post by: NGTM-1R on March 22, 2005, 04:52:05 pm: I'm not totally sure. The old MechWar was the original computerized BattleTech game, and has the best AI of any of the ones I've played. That game is beyond ancient now.

MechWar3D...http://www.battletechmodproductions.com/mechwar3d/

They haven't updated since Christmas, and it would be a real shame if the project was down the tubes, as it looked like it was actually going somewhere.

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on March 24, 2005, 08:49:19 pm: it does look rather promising. i Hope that it is still alive.
