NavyDawg's Unit Creation Thread

[NavyDawg]

Check out the link in my signature. It is a sci-fi space mod.

Ok.......I have the Age of Empires star wars based game called galactic battlegrounds. The mod you are putting together there looks very interesting.

Since St. Patrick's day is coming up, and there happens to be a Leprechaun easter egg code that triggers a unit to turn into a Leprechaun on St. Patrick's day... It would go very nicely with your Santa unit.

Just as a suggestion.

 

[502nd PIR]

I second that.

 

[NavyDawg]

Guys,
Not a bad idea, but I'll never get it out before St. Patty's day, and anything later would just be tacky. Also, I don't really have any good models or props for a Leprechaun atm.

 

[NavyDawg]

I'm making a Shinra Marine from FFVII as my next unit, per a request by Hikaro. Preview is below. I'll take any comments on board, but I'm giving Hikaro the last word on how he wants this guy to look. The model is pretty close to being done, but I don't have a gun for him yet. Also, unless it's needed, I'm not planning on including any civ coloring.

 

[Spacer One]

Wow...IMO thats great...

 

[odintheking]

That looks really cool. Great job!

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Excellent, however, this is going to be the general purpose marine unit for ALL the civs in the FF mod (well, the ones that don't have marine-type UU's), so the only reccomendations I have would be to change the web-harness to Red, and use that as the base civ-color... I realize that might play havoc with any explosion or gun-flash graphics, but I'd be willing to sort any palette messes out myself should any problems arise.
(just send the un-modified storyboard .BMP files with your base palette, and I can take it from there...)

Other than that, looks perfect... The Gun your Alein commando has looks pretty close to the weapons they have... or maybe you could see if Wyrm has any H-K UMP-45 models you could use, since that's the closest real weapon to what they have...

 

[odintheking]

Why not make the straps green or something, and that could be the civ color? It wouldn't mess with explosions or anything.

 

[Bluemofia]

Cool. The face mask does make me associate them with deserts though.

Guys,
Not a bad idea, but I'll never get it out before St. Patty's day, and anything later would just be tacky. Also, I don't really have any good models or props for a Leprechaun atm.

I know it won't be done anywhere near that time, but just a suggestion.

 

[NavyDawg]

Yes, Green colored straps are the way to go for civ coloring. I'm also going to give him an MP5. I do have a UMP, but it has a large stock, so I think this works better. Finally, I moved the knee guards down a bit. Let me know if this will work.

 

[BadKharma]

The knee guards that low doesnt look quite right.

 

[NavyDawg]

How do they look at civ scale? I personally thought they look better lower (and they're also more on his knee). I can move it back though...

 

[AncientOne]

nope.. the original position was better.. i't seem just wrong, if they are so low.
NavyDawg.. has Thorgrimm asked you to do Enclave advanced powerarmor for Fallout mod.. he has model, so i quess, needed is texturing and animating. I think you'd be the right guy to do this unit.. if yo have any time for that, contact Thor for model.. We really miss that unit from the mod

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

The knee guards that low doesnt look quite right.

I aggree.... Knee Guards should be on the Knees, not the upper shins (othewise they'd be shin guards ), otherwise great... MP5 also works smashingly good too.

Once again, thanks for taking this request (although I have a feeling this guy might show up in Galactic Battleground somewhere).... Saves me a ton of work!

 

[Grandraem]

Looks great. It will be a nice addition to the FF mod.

 

[NavyDawg]

OK, I'll move the pads back up. I'll get cranking on the anims, and should have the final unit out in a week or so.

 

[NavyDawg]

Time for another preview in this thread. This was requested by StormRage and will be my first historical unit. I'm not sold on the coloring yet. Any suggestions?

Edit: Preview removed.

 

[odintheking]

Holy crap! An historical unit... by NavyDawg! It looks great! Except for the pants. Make them brown or something.
