Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Orthanc]

I'm currently working on the tricky fortify animation, involving the switch from high-heels to no-heels. I think now I'll keep the heels away for all attacks, and have Rex take a step back to absorb the recoil of the Rail Gun. Otherwise I'd need to give 2 fortify animation options.

I also tried having the heels drop during the rail gun firing and act kinda like springs, but that didn't look good, so I just had the foot under the gun slide back (yes, slide, not step, tried stepping too, but that required rotating Rex, which pulled the railgun away from the effects, so that didn't look good either).

Not trying to out-smart you here, just explaining everything to avoid confusion.

EDIT: That strategy I gave earlier probably isn't totally valid in normal games anyways. There was extensive modding in that game I played, I just found that was how it worked in my scenario.

Hey Orthanc just a request, but when your done in the not to distant future with your list, could you maybe take a crack at making a future era battleship with laser weaponry? Neomega made a laser destroyer, and a cruiser, it would be cool to have a battleship. Your call man.

 

[Orthanc]

What's funny is, that's actually the very FIRST thing I ever tried making for Civ 3, using a watered-down version of 3D Studio Max called GMax, almost a year before I took a crack at POV Ray.

Here's what the plans were:
-Orion Class Battleship
-4 Turrets
-4 Guns each
-Longer than Titanic
-Aircraft hangar underneath the stern-most turret
-Nuclear Powered
-Missile rack cluster in deck
-Giant Rail Gun (gee, wonder where I can get references for that one? ) unfolds from mid-ship hangar

It's on the list! If you want anything added, removed or changed, you've got plenty of time, so feel free to ask.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Could you maybe replace the railgun with a giant laser cannon that charges up and releases a ginormious beam of energy and fires it broadside? Just an idea.

Also I'd set the color close to Neomega's Laser Destroyer:

Also you no doubt could probably do better lasers than neo's especially after seeing your railgun attack...

 

[Orthanc]

As in you want red lasers? Alrighty, and laser instead of rail gun is alright too, I mean they're not far off from eachother (visually) anyways.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

No I ment the hull color(must be more specific Swoggy..end of thought) lasers can be any color but red is a good choice to match the destroyer's, i'll leave that up to you.

 

[Orthanc]

It's all good, anyways not many modern ships are painted different than the standard various greys. And with all this talk of lasers, here's the final attack, AttackD, just have the death animation left!


PS: I really hope ImageShack doesn't have a way of keeping track of how much stuff you're uploading in total
PPS: I think the designers of Rex (the real life ones, not Otacon) intentionally positioned this laser in it's rather awkard location. Don't know why, but it couldn't have not crossed their minds that where this thing shoots from is rather, disturbing...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

It looks like Rex is scanning for lifeforms rather than doing an actual attack lol, but it is an attack nevertheless. How are you going to do the death? Just a big explosion(the easyiest route lol)

 

[Orthanc]

Just figuring that out myself! I figure one big initial explosion, a few small ones, with Rex wabbling and finally falling over, whether it falls towards the Radome or Rail gun is a good question...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You could have both its "Arms" fall off, and the rest of the body topple forward and be engulfed in a huge explosion.

Great !

 

[HunterAnubis]

maybe he could just kneel like in the game. When it was destryed Snakes were fighting on top of it so you could ad 2 man fighting animation on top of Rex
That laser is there so no one can hide under Rex so theres no blind spot where you could hide in the game.
Anyway its a strange place for a lasser on robots body maybe you could do attack E when you replace the lasser with some yelow water

 

[Stormrage]

Yay! The attacks are great! But where are the missiles? The Vulcan cannons?

 

[Orthanc]

You can be at ease Stormy one, your missiles and guns of several kinds can all be found on the new walking battle tank found here:

Metal Gear Rex Released!

[HunterAnubis]

question could you make a darker version its to bright on my taste...anyway attack sounds are great roar sound isnt what I expected but still ok. animations are great so 8/10 if youll change colour to darker version it will be 9/10

 

[Orthanc]

How about a jungle version?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I think Hunter will go for that one, just alittle guess...

 

[HunterAnubis]

Hard to say I would need in game screeny but probebly Ill go for this one since mgs 1 was so green and this rex is green and Im green and everything is green!!!!

 

[Stormrage]

Orthanc, you know I love it
