Damn nice unit!

BTW, I corrected the fighting animation for you.

Yay!

How did you do it?

Magic

Very nice!!

NikNaks · Mar 29, 2008, 10:30 AM

Thanks

I'm really pleased how it turned out in the end.

Wolfshanze · Mar 29, 2008, 10:33 AM

Very good! One of my desired explorers checked-off... Now on to German Explorers!

dutchking · Mar 29, 2008, 10:36 AM

Bravo for your first unit Niknaks!

GeoModder · Mar 29, 2008, 10:47 AM

Looks

.
I think without the gunbelt and the addition of the Mali skirmisher 'horn' (for the gunpowder thingie) it would be perfect.

That's a good idea.

NikNaks · Mar 29, 2008, 10:56 AM

The horn is fairly simple, but removing the gun belt might be more tricky. Give me about half an hour.

NikNaks · Mar 29, 2008, 11:09 AM

Having looked at it, the gun belt would require a complete re-boning, as I can't import the infantry model into Blender as it is. The only other option is trying to skin it into something else.

GeoModder · Mar 29, 2008, 12:11 PM

Nah, better keep a gunbelt as a gunbelt. But the horn would be a nice addition.

NikNaks · Mar 29, 2008, 12:38 PM

Okay then, I'll add it tomorrow. Maybe once I've done the German explorer, I can come back and remove the belt.

OzzyKP · Mar 29, 2008, 02:37 PM

Maybe make the belt brown with fringe and it'll fit in better. I definitely like the idea of the horn. Maybe also a big knife or hatchet in the belt.

Either way, great addition. I was definitely hoping for this unit for a while.

Bakuel · Mar 29, 2008, 03:12 PM

Very nice, NikNaks93!

How long have you been making units, have I been missing something?

As far as I know, this was his 1st.

I've given-up on Chugg doing my Explorer project, so I had to outsource!

I've even been loyal to you and haven't requested it from some other mass-producing plane-maker!

Perhaps we should consider outsourcing the B-10 project?

This is a very good explorer - we should use it in the Colonization project if that ever gets off the ground!

NikNaks · Mar 29, 2008, 03:20 PM

If I remember, I offered to make these. :P But yeah, this was my first unit.

I think a hatchet might be a bit much, but a knife would be cool.

In other news, I've almost finished the German explorer. Just getting some screenies and touching up the skin. Much simpler, this one.

I'm attempting to do so at this time... many people have requested this plane... just need to get it off the ground.
