[BTS] Mobile Infantry

GarretSidzaka · Jun 11, 2009, 05:15 AM

Hello this is a unit for Planetfall mod. i believe that Zerver had done the weapon the unit carries. It is a hand-painted reskin/reequip/remodel of my Modern Paratrooper unit.

The unit has full animations INCLUDING THE PARADROP ACTION!

This is my first unit in a long time, i hope you missed me

Please USE THIS UNIT in your mod or whatever, and PLEASE CREDIT me, thankyouverymuch

EDIT!!!:
THE_COYOTE has EDITED THIS UNIT DOWN IN POLYS

Thanks The_Coyote!!
the new version looks nearly identical, just way better performance

the old version is attached to this post

Wow... just... WOW!

Zerver · Jun 11, 2009, 09:08 AM

A very nicely done model! Yes, gun is mine, thanks for mentioning me.

Just a bit texture upgrade and it'll be super.

Zerver · Jun 11, 2009, 09:10 AM

It would also nice if some animator would make different landing animation for the futuristic paratroopers - like landing bots in BF 2045. Falls, collapses, and the rifleman comes out of it into the battle with no harm from landing.

something like the drop pods used by mobile infantry in starship troopers? that would be cool.

Thanks I'll use it for the Drop Trooper.

I noticed it has a high 2000+ polygon count though. What's taking so much?

I assume Zerver's gun is a big reason. GarretSidzaka, would you be interested in creating a weapon which uses the awesome Cruiser_DIFF.dds, but has a much lower triangle count? I could use some low polygon infantry weapons with a fitting futuristic dds texture.

Yeah, that's on my Planetfall wishlist.

The drop pod could land, open its pod doors and then fade away to be replaced by the unit that just dropped. Can't find a picture of Starship Trooper pods. Other option is this Warhammer pic and video (no need to create pod interiors of course)

Nice, nice, nice

.

Bah, now i have to think again, where to use a good model, damn.

GarretSidzaka · Jun 11, 2009, 01:19 PM

@geo
thanks bro

@zerver
yeah i think that idea would be cool. i compulsively play BF2142 now

@Maniac
i think that the head and the gun are high poly, and with all reequips with changed head, under that new head there is the old one too, just shrunken

@the_J
yeah i knew this one would find some more homes besides just planetfall

Zerver · Jun 11, 2009, 03:54 PM

BF2142 * Yeah sorry. Where's Planetfall mod available to download?

The_J · Jun 11, 2009, 03:57 PM

Too lazy to search

Great unit!

Actually, what I'd like to see, is a drop animation as seen in The Spirits Within:

Also, what weapon effect is that ?

GarretSidzaka · Jun 11, 2009, 06:43 PM

The one in the top right screenshot of the picture you posted, looks larger than regular weaponfire to me.

GarretSidzaka · Jun 11, 2009, 07:26 PM

yeah its actually the original effect from the paratrooper, but exactly 2.5 X larger

it turned out pretty cool

The Capo · Jun 11, 2009, 08:36 PM

Does this unit have any teamcolor?

GarretSidzaka · Jun 11, 2009, 08:46 PM

sorry, no. the only bit of teamcolor onthe original i replaced with armor plates.
