Unit Preview UFO

[Kinboat]

I've been working on this unit and it's taking me longer than I though it would... Hand editing every little pixel in the shadows is really time consuming (and my eyes are bugging out from the horrid pink color ) So I've decided to post a few animations of what I have so far...

Here's the default

 

[Kinboat]

Here's the attack animation... I haven't finished the shadows or the laser beam on this one so they're just black at the moment.

 

[Kinboat]

And here's the death animation... I might change some of the swirl to transparent colors to allow it to blend more, but that's not my top priority... I still need to finish the attack, and maybe do a fority animation.

Enjoy

COOOL !!! Indeed !!!

Add a lil bit to the death sequence- an expanding fire ring-wave after it implodes !!!

 

[Kinboat]

I might be able to add some kind of shockwave to the death, however the image editor I use tends to freeze if the file gets much bigger than 15 frames (I think 17 is the limit for me) so I won't really be able to add many new frames to it.... I see what I can do.

Glad everyone likes it. I'm thinking of making a fortify animation where the UFO lands and a little ramp comes down, what do you think, useful or not. It depends on what type of unit people use it as... Air units don't have a fortify animation do they?

 

[Ed O'War]

I think most flying units don't have fortify animations. However, if you have time you should include one for people who may want to use the UFO as some kind of land unit (like giving it All Terrain as Roads to simulate flight).

lol. I love the attack animation. When I have enough units I'm going to make a future era mod. Probably combine the ancient and medieval eras to make room.

 

[Kinboat]

I've finished the Unit... adding a shockwave to the death animation, and making it transparent... I also made up a fortify animation... I'll be posting it shortly.

That's pretty good. I like it a lot.

Sorry for the huge bump - anyone know why the download thread for this unit is closed?

It appears in a couple of mods: Ryhe's and Heretic Cata's. Both have a crashed UFO as resource as well

Yes, I plan on using it in the Modzilla scenarii as well, just wanted to give props in the proper thread, but could not
