Hephaestus hover-tank for MW:LL

EmAr

Hi! Here's a vehicle I modeled for MechWarrior: Living Legends mod for Crysis. This will be a hover-tank. The separate pieces you see on the low poly image will be able to rotate for aiming.







Here's the link to the project's website:

Thanks for looking

nice, kinda reminds me of a cylon fighter jet thing lol, that might just be the paint scheme

Yeah the model lookking really good,but the dirt on the diffuse is too much splodgy.i think it needs much more definitive weart&tear and dirt...maybe adding some nice scratches on the front side would be nice...
hmm dunno but it seems you need some more spec map detail.its alredy looking good but you can improve it more...

Surprised MWLL is still going actually, was very limited game mode wise when I first played it and got bored of base campers and unbalanced servers combined with the dire netcode and connectivity of Crysis.

Model looks nice, but I have to agree with igi on this one.

I am a new member of the team but I can say it is the most active mod team I've joined.

Thanks for the comments. I'm using a 1024x1024 texture now. It doesn't handle scratches very well. Actually, the model has a detail map containing scratches which is not visible from this distance. Maybe I should use some decals.

Mind posting some texture sheets and UV-Layout? I 1024 should be able to support some sratch work I would expect.

Of course you can go with decals. I don't know how they turn out in cry engine but in some engines you can encounter flickering of decals when viewed from far distances due to depth sorting isues at large distances. Also decals will take up additional texture space. So I thik if can manage to do it on your texture sheet you schould do so.

I added some more scratches. Since I got a new assignment, probably I won't be able to work much longer on this one but thanks for all the suggestions Here you go:

hello, this is Andy, the former lead artist for MWLL. unfortunately i havent been active on the MWLL team lately because i started a job in the industry :poly122:. i hope all is well with the team! ill have to jump on TS and say hi sometime here.

as far as your hoover tank goes. its looking fairly nice. i like the shapes and the design of the craft. "needs much more definitive weart&tear and dirt" i would have to agree. the scratches and dirt blend together and its hard to make out whats going on.

it might be a good idea to seperate out some of the panels on the surface so that some are lighter and darker. thats a trick i used on most of the mechs and it really helps break things up. i think the texture is up on the server but i made a base metal texture for all the mechs that people can use. i would recommend using that.

it might be good to increase your AO strength to make some of the panel lines show a bit better. some of them are hard to see. you could try adding a cavity map too.... that would help for sure.

anyway, enough nit-picking. i wish you and the MWLL team the best ill talk to you on TS sometime im sure.
