Colonial Marine - 11/12/2006

NavyDawg · Nov 12, 2006

Here's a sci-fi Colonial Marine, loosely based on the characters from Aliens. The download has a standard run animation in addition to the flying run in the preview.

This is my tenth unit and I made it with M3 instead of the PDM. I don't like M3 as well for civ animations/scale, but I think it turned out OK. I used some sounds from Muffin's and Balou's units, so thanks to them.

Download him here.

12/20/2006 Update - Download resized version here. This is 95% the size of the original.

I like it! :goodjob:

Bluemofia · Nov 12, 2006

Sweet.

I think that's a first. A unit with a Jet pack.

odintheking · Nov 12, 2006

Awesome! You can't tell it's M3. I think Storm Grunt will love this guy.

We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!

Plotinus · Nov 13, 2006

Another fine unit. Great job. I'm really impressed at the quality of your units given the speed with which you're cranking them out!

Actually M3, Freak, and so on will all produce higher quality stuff than PDM but at the cost of render time. I

Great unit and great job on it (again) Navydawg. I know I'll be using this one

Thanks!

One of my favorite films, now one of my favorite modern / future units. I look forward to getting home and having a proper look at it. Very nice looking unit, and an early runner for Unit of the Month I guess. :clap:

The Gauntlet in thrown down.

Excellent unit.

I like the death animation. :goodjob:

AncientOne · Nov 13, 2006

Nice one!
now.. what about a marine with smartgun.. it would be really cool

Stormrage · Nov 13, 2006

Great unit, ND! The only problem I`ve got with M3 is that all units created with that method end up taller than PDMs. This one too. But I`d still give it an 8/10. It`ll get a 10/10 if someone resizes it

DragonBird · Nov 13, 2006

Cool... Jetpacks, reminds me of the Rocketeer.

CC-2224 · Nov 13, 2006

Sweet unit :goodjob:

! The gun looks a little big though... then again, what do I know about guns?

NavyDawg · Nov 13, 2006

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Stormrage, I agree that he's a little tall, but I don't think he's too tall. M3 is lankier than PDM, so making him the same height will result in puny arms and legs. That's why PDM is better overall IMHO. He's shorter and stockier, which translates very well to Civ scale. Unfortunately, it makes it hard to put non PDM clothes on him.

Plotinus · Nov 14, 2006

Other people have found that changing Michael 3's Y scale to 95% or thereabouts - perhaps even smaller - helps to make him fit in a little better with the PDM and standard units.

Stormrage · Nov 14, 2006

Dunno bout limbs, but as he is now, his shoulders are wider than PDMs. 95% might work, mebbe you coud try that with your next M3 unit?

beboy · Nov 14, 2006

Very good job !! :goodjob:

P-51D · Nov 15, 2006

Cool unit, many uses I see. :evil:

Bluemofia,
Nope, Muffins's Assault Marine was before this.

"All right, sweethearts, we're a team and there's nothing to worry about. We came here, we're gonna conquer, and we're gonna kick some, is that understood? That is what we're gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some. All right, people, on the ready line! Are ya mean?"

Damn I love that movie.
