Human Repair Naval Vessel

[Kam]

I'm looking for a naval vessel based on this:

I would like it to have mechanical arms (use the tinkers arms) in place of the satellite dish, 3 in a triangular formation of different sizes. It should have the standard water ripples, and sinking death animation other human ships do. Use a combination of the the Human Battleship, and Steam Engine textures.

This will also be an anti-air ship.

Please ask for more information if you need it.

Uh... if I understand you want a round probe like shp with the arms on the middle. But how it will be anti air?

And Animations, say more about animations

 

[Kam]

Well it needs to appear more substantial than a probe. Think mobile dock for repairing. It needs to by symmetric.

The anti air would be flak cannons mounted in groups at 45 degree angles, not large cannons though.

Stand animation would be the the arms and their turret base spinning at a slow revolution, with the arms randomly bending.

Attack would be a puff of smoke above each of the flak cannons. Distribute them evenly.

Move would be a typical boat movement, although there would be no "front" of the ship. Water ripples and such should be applied.

Spell would be the turret with arms spinning at a much higher rate, arms moving much faster, and a "holy" glow applied.

I wish I could help you Kam, but I'm not good with models/skins at all. :/

 

[infrenus]

Uh, see if I am getting on the right plsce here



That thing kinda looks like a tripod >->

 

[Kam]

Yes that is the right path. The central disc, and 3 shields need to be higher poly - more texture detail. Do you have an idea of how to do the turret?

 

[infrenus]

Nope, I still thinking where to put then without looking goffy

 

[Kam]

I would suggest 1 central turret that does everything.
