Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Spacer One]

ahem...Stormy requested it not me...I dont even know what it looks like

 

[Orthanc]

Right, my bad, sorry Spacer One.

Metal Gear Rex

 

[Stormrage]

Man, those pics make me wanna grab a Stinger and take a shot at them

Thanks, Orthanc!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

That unit would take along time to model...

 

[Orthanc]

Actually you might be surprised with that one, once I get to it, it's very geometric, which POV-Ray is wonderful with, plus I've got tons of images, so I won't have many issues trying to figure what-goes-where. Ray was probably harder, and again, I'll never forget my experience with the Ragnarok...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I wish Aaglo took requests again, I miss his ships. Maybe in the not to distant future you and Aaglo could cooperate and make a couple of interesting sailing vessels.

 

[Orthanc]

Well I will be making that ship you requested that mixes aaglo and I's meso-american styles, that's kinda like a co-op unit. Not sure if a full shared unit project's been done before.

EDIT: Progress on Torpedo Tank:

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

cool.....thankyou for making that, that about covers the age of sail for the mesoamericans in my mod...

Looks good so far, just try to make it a good size at civ scale. You can go ahead and take some artistic liscence with it, since it only appeared in one obscure game, .

 

[Orthanc]

I know the sort odintheking. I've done what I can to keep to the pictures, just need to slap on the torpedo launcher and it'll be animating time. Since there's a turret there, I'll be making an attack anim for it as well, the extra attack will be more fun than work to make (hence why I do this stuff)
Progress:

 

[Stormrage]

Lookin` good!

 

[odintheking]

Sweet! The modelling is superb. One thing; can you change those red dots to the rebel alliance symbol:

 

[Orthanc]

This about as close as I could get it, POV-Ray is not very image-mapping friendly (excepetion being sails, only because the object I use to make them is designed specifically to work well with image-mapping).

If this is good, animating can begin, if so, expect this out of the factory by tomorrow:

 

[odintheking]

Hmm... what if I squash it like this:



Will it look better?

 

[Orthanc]

Great idea, in practice, is it acceptable?

 

[odintheking]

Perfect, .

 

[Stormrage]

Woo! It really is perfect!

 

[Orthanc]

Thanks It's done now, (clickety!) so now Orthanc's services are headin over to the Zelda mod for a bit. A fleet of ships await!

 

[odintheking]

Cool. Chris85 and I are patiently waiting for the WW ships, now, .

 

[Spacer One]

Holy poo...that is awesome lookin...Orthanc, you have out/over/strangely done yourself....Kudos
