I've finished the model modifications for my UpGunned Reaver Titan and I'm ready to animate.

I've removed the rocket launcher and chainfist and replaced them with a plasma gun and an autocannon.

I've also replaced the head and shoulder armour with the Reaver alternitives

If you guys want me to alter the model then tell me before I start to animate :D

Here's a close-up of the new parts. Like I said, if you really don't like any part of the model then say so. If you prefer the old head then I'll replace it :goodjob:

See the autocannon gun barrels? They spin when they fire :D

I shall also fix the below problem with my first Reaver :rolleyes:

Great again! 11th if im right? :goodjob:

Why ... yes ... thanks for keeping track :goodjob:

I've done the walk animations but need suggestions about how I'm going to animate the weapons, especially the plasma gun.

I was thinking of fireing the thing on maximum mode instead of sustained mode (slow build-up then POW!). Anyone got any ideas?

Wow, looks great. I like the maximum mode idea the best. Sounds really cool...

For your next titan, maybe a grenade thrower?

Maybe Powerup mode for attack A, Sustained Mode for Attack B, and The Auto Cannons for Attack C?

Just a suggestion muffins, but if you're using 3DMax you may want to try something with the lens effects filters in video post. that way you can apply an "electrical discharge" kind of look to the plasma gun

I've got OpenFX but it has a very similar effect. I was thinking of having parts of the plasma gun glow an electric blue, then a hot red, before discharging a great big blob of plasma.

WS78 - I've never seen a Titan armed with a grenade thrower before. :confused: Being a Titan, the grenades would have to be the sizes of cars :lol:

Default>Fidget>Fortify preview below :)

imagine a big honking barrel! That's an RPG for ya

Or, I could fire small gernades in auto-fire from a slighty larger Auto Cannon :D I mean, its our uit, so it doesn't have to be 100% Warhammer accurate

Attack1 and Attack2 are done. The autocannon barrels spin but you can hardly see them.
I'm also planning on only having the plasmagun mounted on the back in civ-colours ... it'll make things easier (palette-wise)when I do the death explosions (can't have red explosions with red civ-colours :) )

Well done!

I've also noticed a really stupid palette error I made with my first Reaver. I'll fix this too when I update the original Reaver (Wednesday night or Thursday perhaps)

... why doesn't anyone tell me these things? :rolleyes:

I didn't even notice; I didn't notice the first error either :P. Nice animations, although I don't think that, at a Civ 3 scale, the autocannon spin would be noticable (unless you gave him a larger gun). Can hardly wait to see the plasma attack... Sounds awsome.
