Supa's Atomic Labs

​

A place to present new giant monsters, revisit & index old ones. I'll complete the index over time as I fix the infamous Civ3Flc bug.

Gabara
Zigra

As Zigra is already Civ3FLC-bug free..

Zigra
It first appeared in Gamera vs. Zigra (1971). Zigra is a sentient aquatic extra-terrestrial planning to conquer the Earth in order to give a new home to its species : their homeworld is ridden with pollution.



Contact with Earth pollution made Zigra grows bigger and bigger in a matter of hours.



It's been a while since I've made a sea unit and I wanted to try something new for the water-line.

Zigra is also able to go on land, although it's quite clumsy. Classic Civ3 Editor doesn't allow sea unit to upgrade to land unit. However, I don't know if that's an engine limitation or an editor limit. Gojira54, if you're interested, perhaps could you ask Steph or Quintillus to temporarily allow it and test yourself.

An old friend revisited!



Gabara was by no mean an essential daikaiju, appearing only in one dreadful movie All Monsters Attack in 1969. But I had a lot of fun making it back in 2007. It was the first unit where I actively avoided the laziness of having the feet slide on the floor. I think it actually crept it back again once with Godzilla 1995 but except that one all my units post-Gabara were moving without the help of any soap.

Originally with this revisit, I was only going to fix the bug and the size as it was bigger than the current Shōwa Godzilla. But that didn't take - I had to change a few things.


There is a small bug in the preview : the right feet in AttackB slightly moved between AttackA & Death. It has been fixed since.

Almost all animations have been modified. Attack is split between two animations, AttackA and AttackB. The lightning effect has been enhanced and Gabara's skin darkens to highlight it. Death has been upgraded too. Sounds have been created.

For archiving purpose and for the unlikely case of someone preferring the old one, both versions are packed in the link.

That's it for now!

 

I love it! Are you planning on reworking all of the Kaiju?

 

You're never far when I create a new thread. Have you an alarm set on me ?

Eventually, yes. At least to fix the Civ3Flc bug. Depending on how old the unit is and if I still have the model, I might revisit it too.
