Multi-Tier Hydra

[Player]

Whoaaa! Really cool Man! 5/5

 

[hexhound]

That's badass.

 

[General Frank]

That is cool. I can see it came from the Tidal guardian.
Good job.

 

[frostwhisper]

True. The attack animation gives it away. It's the only one that's not been heavily edited/scratch-made.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

The ultimate Battleship Killer!! Great Job!!

 

[Ungoliath]

This is sooo sick

 

[Korean Gamer]

So cutie

 

[xgeneralthorx]

Very epic!

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

Added the "Contest Entry"-Tag.

The mesh also gives it away. Isn't it a bit simple?

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is wicked, man. Love this little big guy. : )

Maybe, but that just means you have a much better chance against in the Contest, mirite? ; )

Frostwhisper, if you wanted to work on that, I would suggest tweaking the mesh a bit, maybe resizing the neck and/or jaws, perhaps adding fins.

It's not about that. In one of the previous contests my model was classified as a 'model edit' from one of the judges even though it was made from scratch, while this model is obviously a simple edit of Tidal Guardian model and is obviously getting a "wow" comments.

I did actually try a version with more fins. All three heads had the dorsal, bottom and side fins, but it ended up a bit cluttered, and there were some clipping issues during the animations where the heads look around and pass over/next to each-other. So I left the first head with dorsal and side fins and the other two with bottom fins. Also gives the first head a neat little distinction as the alpha of the bunch.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah they were just some ideas I threw out there, real low-hanging fruit. I'm not surprised you already tried them. No big deal. : )

I sympathize with you. I think that's really more the fault of the Judges failing to recognize your work, and wouldn't want to blame individual users for expressing excitement about any given model.

 

[AbraCadabra]

Oh, cool Hydra.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Oh, very nice. A few years ago I created a Hydra boss for an RPG map and it took a LOT of fiddling around with flight height + terrain distortion and whatnot to make it a believable multi-headed hydra submerged in water with separately killable heads.

 

[General Frank]

A fine model-edit with lots of creativity put into it.
The model works inside the game and performs well.
Good job.

 

[ThomasEddington]

Definitely useful as a super-unit or a stationary boss or something - very clever. Easily 5/5

 

[Shido]

It's a hydra like to keep the body flowing around and act like submarine . 6/5

 

[Misha]

nothing wrong with compounding a model into a neater model.

 

[Unregret]

We already got Ancient Hydra, guess it's time for Legendary Hydra.

 

[dujinyuan]

cool man.nice work....

 

[WSCH]

After the model is imported, how to make it grow a second head and a third head?thank you.

 

[frostwhisper]

Use the animation tags "Upgrade" and "First" for two heads and "Upgrade" and "Second" for three heads in the Required Animation Names field.

oooh, that`s right. lol

 

[kadakash1]

This might be one of the best models i've seen so far.
The concept is great as well as the animation and design.
Hoping to see more multi-tier models in the future.
Keep up the great work you're doing.

 

[Nuchit]

I can use a head but 2and3 heads it does not display. How can i do?

 

[hexhound]

You must apply the animation tag "upgrade, first" or "upgrade, second" to the unit to get the other heads to show up. You can do this by adding animations with triggers or you can add it in the "Art- Required animation names" field in the object editor.

 

[fanfanxuan]

I hope it's also perfect on land

 

[Gray_Fox]

Fantastic model, always wanted a version of the tidal guardian like this. My only gripe is that there is no birth animation for the singular head, apart from that it's perfect!

 

[kellym0]

As a fellow hydra creator, I must say, this looks really clean and fresh, and well made, well done.

 

[Carefree World]

Can its lower body be supplemented to make it a sea dragon? Add new units to the Naga tribe.

 

[Dogcall]

Seems second and third head don't turn to face target as primary does. They animate, but facing one direction

 

[SHBlade]

Really wish we had a birth animation for the first head too.
