Battletech/MW mod collaboration?

[Hygro]

If every clan/IS nation will have its own UU, wouldn't Ghostbear have one of those big old 100 ton grizzler thingies that only they use?

 

[Kingpin]

This is just a thought, ripptide... if you go without the clan crests, you can then use the same animations for both Mad Cat and Timberwolf.

But on the other hand... the crests are cool. Tough decision...

 

[ripptide]

heh wait till you get the beta, prolly be even harder....

 

[Random Observer]

I figured if I called it a Timberwolf, I'd have half a dozen posts pointing out that it wasn't a Timberwolf, it was a MadCat

why do you think that? its both names really one IS one Clan.

How long does it take you to make a unit?? You make such excellent units in so little time!

 

[Random Observer]

he must be finding some of these premade somewhere

Random, what 3d app are you using? When I tried to open most of the ones from MekTek, I either had significant missing faces, or it crashed 3DMax on the import.

And I never said I was creating them all from scratch, some I am, some I'm repairing, and some I just use as a template to make. Read back thru the thread and maybe you'd see I even included a link where I got some of the partials from. Maybe instead of being so critical you'd like to join in and do something more creative.

I assumed you were creating the ones you previewed from scratch, since I didn't think that you'd preview ones you only partially did.

Were you talking to me? If so, I have read through the thread, and am aware you said that you got some as partials, and you were creating some from scratch. Again, I assumed you were posting the ones you did from scratch.

If you were talking to me, then I would love to join in but there's not much I could do. I have no 3d or 2d unit creating program, thus no experience. If however there is something I could do to help then I would gladly contribute.

My apologies for the misunderstanding Bob, no that was meant for the ever so helpful Random Observer

 

[BobTheTerrible]

Random Observer took my name! In september I registered as Random observer, but never posted. Then somehow my name got deleted and finally I just decided to be Bob when I couldn't register as Random Observer. I realize this is OT but I wanted to let him know.

 

[Random Observer]

To bob: thats kind of wierd

I used the 3DS import in gmax to open those and Im not being critical i posted the models so you could use them if you want those are my favorite 2 mechs.

IS BZK-F3 Hollander Light Mech

 

[ripptide]

A quick in-game preview of the lineup so far.

Rear row, a hollander light mech, a bushwhacker medium mech, a Madcat heavy mech and an Atlas assault mech. Front row, a Visigoth aerospace fighter, a Bandit hovertank and a point of elementals.

 

[BobTheTerrible]

No offense, but the Atlas looks a bit boxy/fat. The one for MW4 is much slimmer/less boxy. Again, I'm not insulting you or anything, just criticizing

 

[ripptide]

None taken Bob, I'm always open to constructive criticism. And yea, I agree, not 100% happy with it right now, I've been staying more with the TRO than with MW designs, but it is a bit too boxy.

 

[Bobisback]

I can't wait tell you release them, they look so cool.

What is TRO? The 'pre-clan invasion' type mechs?

BTW you are doing a great job!
