Battle Balloon

Oh my gosh I remember this. So long ago...

So wait, are you actually texturing & wrapping these, or are you just "coloring in" (not sure what to call it) the 2D images of the models?

@Kyrbi0 I'm doing proper textures. This was one of the more finished models from A Tinker's Tale but the pilot was not wrapped yet. I did load up the models into Blender and 3d Coat to do adjustments to the model and the texture.

pretty cool concept! i think the baloon itsef should be team coloured, instead of the crate/box (though i don't know fo sho if that crate is just yellow X'D)

@stein123 The box is just yellow. The black areas on the ballon "plates" are meant for teamcolour as well as the ring on top. While doing this I pondered if the stitches could be made TC as well but might be a bit much.

Oh wow, ok. Please tell me you'll consider uploading? : )

@Kyrbi0 That's the idea, kinda. As mentioned in one of the other model concepts: these are all unanimated. I do plan to upload them so whoever wants can animate and finish them.
Still, that's why I wanted to finish them to a certain degree before uploading them.

@handclaw Well that is good news! Based on your comment about "not returning to modding" & the name of the Album, I kinda figured this was just for fun, on 2D images no less.

Well, I've always loved your work, so I look forward to seeing it uploaded & eventually animated. : ) Maybe someday someone will actually recreate your whole custom Goblin faction... ; )

@Kyrbi0 basically, I came across a lot of screenshots of models that I made which are completely lost. It is a bit of a nostalgia trip.

But there are a couple models which I still have, with a few being already UV mapped. So given how part of it was ready, I decided to texture them quickly. Heck, I did even some model modifications to improve the designs here and there.

But in the end, with the texture alone the model are not ready. And I don't have the time to learn animating it just to release them properly. I have other projects to take care of. So I will release it in a way so it can be completed if someone really wants it. That's the gist of it.

@BoatyMcBoatface300 maybe you could give them a try animating them?

I was wondering about that; seems your RampagingPolygons server went down?

Well that's totally cool, man.

Speaking of 'learning to animate', I don't know if you know but this guy Retera has a working model-editing program that is like nothing you've ever seen; this baby can import & combine entire animation sets. It's still a WIP but if your models have any bones or whatever, someone can (with relative ease) transpose an existing set of animations over. Heck, even *I* could. xD

Basically what I'm saying is, I don't think it'll be long before your beauties get animated. Lookin' forward to it. : )
