GOW Locust Model Request

[Chaos Overlord]

I am making a Gears of War map for TFT. It is going to have a AoTZ feature to make more action in it than the otheres, and is going to iclude a cover system, a pick up and equip weapon system, and other things from GOW (I will be constatnly replaying it to find more ideas for the map).
To make it I am going to need a Locust Drone model.
It can be a model/skin edit of the marine, just rip off some of the armor and make him look Locust...ish. He also doesn't need a weapon because I'm going to attach them to him depending on what the player picks up. Here are some pictures to show you what I mean.
If that isn't enough pictures, I can put some more or you can look up at google.

If you can help me please post or P.M. me.
Thanks

Woah now,this looks like a better request thread. I may work on somthing for you.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

That would be really awesome Cavma, thanks

 

[operator]

Finally someone who knows how to create a decent request And I see Cavman might help you out here

 

[Cavman]

OK man, this is what I got so far.

It's just a simple geomerge onto the marine's body and a reskin.Head based on the Pit Lord's head.

if you want anything changed, nows the time.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, He dose have custom animations were he crouches down, as if he's crouching down behind a wall. Attack Defend, Stand Defend, and Stand Ready Defend animations.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

What skin is he using? If its custom could you maybe darken his skin and put a little brown into it?

 

[Cavman]

He's using a custom skin, yes. I probably add some more brown, but I wont darken it, atleast not much.. I've played the game aswell. I was using reference pics and game time(as in playing it whileIwas making the skin) for the coloration, and the Locust, escpecialy the grubs and drones are very pale.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Ok I haven't really played it in a while so I was basing it off the concept pictures. Thanks for pointing that out to me. He does have the "weapon" attachment point working right? Also I have a question: Do you think a zergling would be apt enough for the Lurker things? I know the original Zergling from Stacraft was perfect but do you think the WC3 version will work?

that is a zerg lurker model on the site =) it would work I think

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Im not sure... the lurker is a four legged thing that like slaps the people and his claws happen to shred your flesh (Like the dreadlord). Thanks for the attempt though. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure even if it is called a lurker...

 

[Cavman]

Lurkerthings? Are you talking about the Wretchs, seeders, corpsers, Beserkers, or Burmaks?

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Wrteches thats what they were called. Thanks, but I feel dumb now. They were always screaming "Wretches!!!!!!" too. Wow. Ok I feel dumb, but what do you think? The old Starcraft Zergling model was like perfect for it, but the new one doesn't work. It's got tentacles now.=( Burmaks are awesome but there is absolutely NO place for it in my game..... Except maybe an opening little fight to get players in the blood thirsting mood. If only I could make cinematics. But I can't, oh well.

 

[Cavman]

Actully, forthe wretchs, it would probably be better if ya got a reskin (or a remodel) of a murloc or somthing. closer animations.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Hmm good point... I have GIMP so I could try that. But still they have no place in it because theres only one type of COG and I cant give the Locust two. Not sure why, I could lower the amount of wretch and drone spawn and keep the Gear rate normal, but meh.

 

[Cavman]

If your making this like the Multiplayer, then there is no need for the wretchs, but if you are making this like the single player, then ya need them.

 

[Maximash]

Cavman,i looked at the picture of the Burmak,any chance you could make me model using that?i think i could use that in a map i am making
EDIT:Oh and what game is this?

 

[Cavman]

The Game is Gears of War, for the XBox360

 

[Maximash]

okay, but will you make me the Brumak model?Its perfect for the map im making.Ill put you in the Special Thanks section of the credits if you make it? interested yet? lol.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol the second post I ever started that went onto two pages. Thank you all.

But really Cavman, do you know the one humans in the techy robot armor? I would like to add them as NPCs and I was wondering if it wasn't too much trouble maybe you could just revise one of your Helghast and take off his gun?

 

[Cavman]

Techy robot armor? I don't remeber seeingf anyone in that in the game. Also, I never played multiplayer

 

[Chaos Overlord]

In the first cut scene when Marcus and his friend get picked up by a King Helix helocopter or whatever, one of the dudes in the cabin has the techy armor on. He asks something like "Are you THE Marcus Fenix that fought on the fields" or something like that and Marcus says yes then he says "Cool" then of coarse, Marcus says, "Not really,"

 

[Maximash]

Cavman...can you please answer my question? yes or no?

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Th eBrumak is a really big dude so the model would probably difficult to do 100% new. If you could find a model that could be editted or reskinned, then he would probably help. But yeah, the Brumak is awesome.

 

[Maximash]

oki doki i will get searching for a big beastie model, that he can base it on.
EDIT:Found a model,but i think it needs a change to its animations... they are noooot good.

 

[The guy who needs help]

Where did you get that charr model?

 

[Cavman]

Gragh,sorry I didn't answer anyof you right away. I have some form of stomache flu or somthin anwasn't able to get on. It sucks to high hell.

@Chaos Overlord: Thats Carmine, and he just has a mask. He's you basic non-modified GEAR. Imight makehim when I feel better.

@Maximash: I probably will notbe able to do it due to my inability to create models from scratch, and the only models close enough to base it off are made Olof Moleman. And were the hell did you get the Charr model?

EDIT: Path--- units\critters\Marine\Grub.blp

 

[Maximash]

i got the charr model from this website, but its anims suck sooo much,wouldnt you be able to base it off that? all you need really is new anims and skin
EDIT:And when you say the closest to base it on are by olof moleman, are you thinking of his rancor model?

 

[Kimbo]

=_=
Thats MY charr model....it was based on the tauren cheiften.
i didnt know how to anim or edit out anims back then :/

 

[Maximash]

Lolz,twas a funny model
EDIT:Talking of anims and the like... id like to learn how to edit/create them, any tutorials you know of?

 

[Cavman]

When i was alking about olofs models, I was refereing to his prehistoric models, cause the Burmak is more like a therapod than anything else.
