Crab battle.
2005-09-28, 4:34 AM #1
Just showing off a badass robot and time for community input. And yes it's meant to be translucent. Why? Two words: Cloaking device. Heavily inspired by the ghost in the shell anime series. I can't really tell you much about this project other then that there are about a hefty number of ideas dancing naked around in my head.

Critique and ideas appreciated. Please note the gun and hands are WIP (I'm not happy with the gun at the moment looking for inspiration like crossing a USP with a P99 etc.)

It looks nice but it also looks you like you got away with making it look better by the translucency... can we see what the beast really looks like?

looks nice. chain guns in the hands... sweet. i only see one kinda error/whatever- the laser sight seems to not blend with the robot 3do...

is there going to be lots of coding and things for this mod too, or is it just visual?

The texture was a half *** job. It's just pencil sketch + hot wax coating filter. I'll photoshop something better based on current texture.

My cog folder has over 100 files in it. Mind you a good 30-40 of em are back up files.

I made a test level for those who want to take a look at it.

click.

Basic stuff, getting their health below 500 will turn them into crabs (still tinkering with the cog). And yes it is possible to kill all of them without using any cheats.

More like CRAP BATTLE amirite amirite

Just kidding, it's cool. It would be cooler if it didn't have a hole in the middle, though.

Not bad..

Some normal mapping could really bring the detail out and make it alot better.

I didn't even notice the chain gun.

... Normal mapping? This is JK, mind you... Looks nice. I actually like the texture as it is, just remove some of the stretching I think. And add some shades of color perhaps.
