Alright here is a metroid. It took a while to figure out how to make the outer part transparent so you could see the insides. I made this one slightly differently than my others. I used vertex modifer and a lot of primitives/pieces of my other models to make its basic shape and then I went into UV mapping and took a screenshot of the sorted out UV for it and layed that all out and made it based on the uv. So it fits it perfectly. I had to do some more work on it after I made my basic texture but I think it turned out pretty well. The Death animation is based off of Pyritie's Pancake death animation. And the rest just simple animations that have been adjusted to fit different bones. Took reading a few tutorials to make this but I like it. First attempt at particles too.

Enjoy.

Note: The requester may not have the same name here on the hive. He requested it at Wc3Unlimited.

Edit: I didn't say this earlier but the guy is just awesome and deserves to be mentioned. Dan Van Ohllus played a big part on me being able to make this model. He has been good to me and answered questions I had on making things roundish and sphere's ect. He definetly deserves some good rep.

Update: Okay as Pyritie insisted the particles have been designed to look more like actual blood. Pyritie helped teach me how to do particles better so a big thank you goes to him. Also a death sound has been added now.

May I make a suggestion?
A stand channel animation to go along with a life draining spell.
Fucking awesome man. I LOVE Super Metroid, never played Metroid though. This model is great like coffee and pop-tarts.

Thats a really good idea. I'll have to try to find one I liked. A lot of the animtions were just modified animations of what people already had.

Do you like the particles for the death animation? I read a tutorial on pariticles and I tried doing some for once. Is it good or absolutely horrible looking?

Heheheh Uh thanks? *is embarrased(ish)* It does look nice doesn't it? Does making this out of other stuff (primitives) Instead of just editing other things make this made from scratch? It wasn't really all that hard since its a somewhat simple model but maybe thats why it turned out so nice. XD

looks pretty "old school game style" to me, what does not mean that it´s bad.
In this ase it even fits well. And the particles have a pixel style, what looks good combinated with the rest of the model.
The only thing that I don´t like that much are the anims,because they look a bit "simple" and could be better.( there isn´t a lot of movement in the different sequences)

that´s why I rate it with 3/5 , but it could be a 4/5 with some improvements.

A billboarded plane is a plane which follows the camera no matter what. i.e. if you look at the Arcan Observatory, all of the floating balls are billboarded planes. They are only 2 polies, as opposed to the massive amounts spheres are, and thus are very effective.

Sounds complex. I'd need a tutorial to get it done. Any suggestions of one you could link me to? I'm willing to try it.

You should make the inside area a bit more red imo

Um I guess I could I think its fine but I'll experiment with it and see if I like it.

Um I guess. Though they are kinda greenish shiny(ish) based on the picture I used to make this.

bilboarded planes would indeed pwn. I could help you with those once I get my pc back.

That'd be nice since no one seems to be explaining how to do it. Either way that would be appreciated. Thanks.

attachment points? Oo you mean like a hat? XD Honestly, I have no clue how to billboard and I would've put more interior detail if I had been able to model this instead *glares at Zerox for beating him to it.*
Click to expand...

What more do you want on the inside? I could add it. And yeah I didn't know you were going to make it. XD I just got requested to make it and the pic they gave me to base it off of really was inspiring to me. Sorry. :razz:

Lord_T said:
Hmm... Could use event sounds and the basic Attachment points, but it's cool.
I agree with donut, Billboarding those buggers on the inside would make this model a lot more efficient.
Click to expand...

Event sounds? Like a squelch when it attacks? I don't know how to do that but it'd be cool. Attachment points. Uh he doesn't really got arms like the others but I could add one to his head(the top) I guess?

varsaigen said:
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You made it before I could! D= And it was coming up on my list! *cries*

Lol sorry man. Like I said oh well. XD

T-t-t-t-t-TRIPLE QUOTE!
Anyway, i got no clue as to how to billboard planes either... though i may... i doubt it. HT shall save the day.

But yeah, An origin (At his fee- bottom... thing for auras and such.), overhead, just a bit over his head, and weapon, his... butt, i guess, for orbs and stuff like that.

Maybe the forgotten one's Death sound could be used for his death.

You can add all these things with Magos' Model editor, in the node manager, bTW.

yep. And that's how I realized how to correctly add attachment points to my Meta Knight model. :p Anyway, great job on the model. :p On the insides, might I suggest a bit more of a bumpy texture for the balls (snicker)?

I'd guess this is the pic you used? http://www.wiiwii.tv/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/a-metroid.jpg (funny thing being that I copied this to a piece of paper using a pencil during an online orientation. XD)

Love the glow effect, and yes, I continue with my plan to make metroids. (Metroid Hunter, Metroid Prime, etc. But, since you made this one, hunter next for me. XD)

lol yeah. :p The horror of the sight. But they OWN! >=D best creature in the game. I see why it's named after them. :p

Edit: I think I relized what a billboard is. A square (plane) where the texture is a mon lisa (follows you WHEREVER you turn. it'll turn towards you). Am I right?

lol. Yeah, the death was pixilated. Perhaps Lord_T can fix that for ya. :p Now, I'll note that I also have a Metroid model being made (Hunter Metroid and Tallon Metroid) but I also has a metroid in a container like in the labs for Metroid Prime in the Space Pirate base. Having fought plenty of Metroids, I know how the move. Not to be off topic here and sound self centered, but if my metroid isn't a very good wrap, Zerox, I wondering if it would be acceptable to switch them out like you suggested. :p

And if you want me to animate any metroids, let me know, I'm willing. :p

I guess I could varsaigen. I know the death anim was pixely but I made it that way sort of on purpose. Would you prefer it non pixely? And as far as moving its mandibles that would be great but that requires custom animations that I can't do. XD But I give varsaigen permission to try making better animations if he wants too.

Why not try to apply the metroid model to an aura? What do I mean? I'm talking about making it into a rejuvenation/ aura effect where a metroid circles around samus or the caster. When she first found the metroid it didn't attack her, it circled around her and followed her around- it thought she was it's mother.
You could use the effect for a vampiric aura or whatever. :thumbs_up:
