The time: year 2334
The place: a remote mining station in the east border of the GTA, Laramis system
The crew: 1 headmaster, 1 tech engineers, 1 pilot class 4, 3 pilots class 1, 1 medic. And a "guest".

At 11.22, day 348, local time, a silent radar station checking for Vasudan marauders detected an unusual signature near the Edingway asteroid prospecting station. Without any military patrol available, the crew is ordered to check by themselves. They discover a large, black object and bring it back to the station. The artefact is sealed in the quarantine room. The night that follows, a breach is detected in the ejection tubes of the rescue pods room. Something has come to claim back the artefact...

I do the best I can ^_^
And no, I don't think shivans are mechanical.

It looks like it's wearing armour of some kind.

I did the closest of what they really look like. It may not be that great, but I really have added nothing, it's the way a shivan is supposed to be, as far as I know
And as this one's the only one I know of apart from the V one, well

[Darkage]

Now you made me drool !

*Gets shock from keyboard*

[Nico]

little lesson of shivan anatomy. Obviously it's nowhere near perfect. It's too skinny, the shoulder gun is incomplete, I haven't even done the power claws, various parts are just stuck together w/o any care about intersections or anything, and some articulations are just not there. But it's a first try, so... I think making it from LPM is not the best way, next time, I'll try splines.

and while I'm at it, a third lightning test. which one do you prefer?

[Stargazer_2098]

I like them all.

Good work!

A little off topic:
Say; do any of you know where i can get some concept-art of Shivans (not their ships), I cant seem to find any...

Back on topic:
Nice work all around!:cool:

there, I'm nice, here's the mesh and the map I used ( most are procedurals save for one, which sucks, btw ). Too bad for LW users, it's in .Max format ( not in .3ds so the procedurals aren't lost ). Feel free to use/modify it, just don't forget to give me credits for the original thing

[RoachKoach]

venom, make the limbs a bit shorter n thicker. yeah, make the shivan stockier, will look more menacing that way. this one looks a bit starved good reproduction neverthless

yeah, that's what I should do.

[Gortef]

yea it looks a bit starved... but ... but ...

on the other hand... no wonder they look so good

hmm... maybe I'd prefer the second one... add a bit motionblur to it... then it looks like the POV is from the eyes of a dying soldier

[Stryke 9]

First one was probably best. Increase the specularity on the casings a lot, so they look like metal.

[Stunaep]

Shivans.... w00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000t.

Can you make a Zod?

[SlipStream]

very good.
