Yet another of my threads return from the grave...;)


The Zoid I was constructing (or should that be growing?) here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31435.0.html

Is now done.  AS you can see, (s)he's a big one! Not to mention well armed:









A closer look at the interior of the cockpit:

It is posable.  Since I haven't figured out TS 6 animation tool, to do an animated sequnce, one would need to use muiltiple 'print-screen's, imported into PSP, compiled with anim-builder...

In short, yes.  But with difficultly.

AS for mauling the Colossus, it's big, but not THAT big.  With magnetic boots though, it could walk around on the Big C's hull;)

Thanks for all the praise, people;)

I'll see about geting some more images, showing off it's pose-ability.  Maybe with it's foot ON the VW...;7

I try:D  Took ages geting all the parts shaped so that it (the zoid) could be posed any which way (within reason, I know how some people minds are) without bits overlapping.

Wonder if any of the Zoidian websites would be intrested, and what they would think...

What are you using to render ? The Mesh looks good but the render isn't too great.

I'd call that moderately armed, for a Zoid. Never liked the series much, but this is nice.

Never seen the series. The British comic kicked arse though.

This thread actually inspired me to pull down the comics from the cupboard and read them all again. Damn fine storyline there :)

I'll admit it dosn't have a huge number of guns (five seperate weapon systems), but three of those are intended to be so big that most Zoids couldn't handle them.  If fact, one of them is so big that it has to brace itself before it can fire the gun (it's mounted in the throat).  And most Zoids IRCC only had 2-3 ranged weapon systems.  (Leena's gunsniper is an exception!)

Remember, this thing is much bigger than most other zoids.  I rekon roughly 50% larger than the stego Zoid (which I have in fact).

I actually enjoyed the series, personally.  Almost wish they would sell them in a store locally...

@Roanoke: Modelled in TS6, Rendered in TS3.1  It was the only way to get the fog effect.  TS6 claims to have fog effect, but I couldn't get it to work.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

VRay?  Haven't heard of that.  It supports raytracing light for shadows though...

Some more screenies!

Sprinting:

This one was rendered in TS3.1  I've started using a lighter coloured fog.

And the same shot (pretty much) in TS6.  The screenies might also be affected by the format I'm saving them in (jpg at 25% compression, though I've started using DDS for on my HD)


Same pose, diffrent angle.

DUCK!

Phew, that was close!


Return fire (with the BIG gun;) Okay, so the barrel is not that big, but it is long, and VERY powerful (one step below CPC))  Note the straight neck and all four legs braced on ground.
