Reptile Marine

[Thrikodius]

I turned the marine model into a lizard.
He fires envenomed spikes from his rifle. I swapped the spell and attack animations with each other to make it work with the missile.
What do you think?

No Pics, no clicks.

Screenshots please.

 

[Thrikodius]

How? The screenshot is in my computer and I must insert a picture from a URL. Give me a URL where I can upload the image or open Magos/Wc3 Viewer (or something else) yourself.

You can upload pictures to the Hive in the same way you upload other files.

In appearence it's rather simple but i like the idea of the spike gun.

 

[Massive_attack]

Id love to agree with Callahan, unfortunately im not seeing any screenshot and theres no way im downloading a model untill ive seen it.

 

[Thrikodius]

Ahh. Was it that simple?
I didn't say it before but I'm using magos. Thats why I didn't animate the tail.

Replace the armor and make it more lizardly, like Tribal armor.

He reminds me of that lizard guy from Brute Force

 

[Massive_attack]

Yeah, the gun and armour need work.

 

[Thrikodius]

So I should change the skinn? I could make the armor a bit scale like. Do any of you know an easy tool wich I can use to animate the tail. Don't suggest Oinkerwinkle Tools cause they crash the moment I click something.

 

[Thrikodius]

Ok. I made the metal on his armor green to give a little poison impresion, and the team colored parts are scaled. Still just rough texturing. I'll return with more improvements later on. I just need some tips for what to do with the gun. And of course your opinions on the current skinn.

 

[Massive_attack]

The gun is fine now, i cant think of any other changes for it. The armour's scales look bad im afraid, might want to fix that up. The model is comming along though and i encourage you to continue.

 

[Thrikodius]

So I used Wc3 Viewer to improve the armor scales. Took me some time but it's better now, at least in my opinion. I was thinking of something else before but now I can't remember X[. I'll probably recall later.

 

[FireEffect]

Looked better with the first scales you made. The new ones arent...scaley enough.

 

[Massive_attack]

The scales on the gauntlets look bad imo, I think thats just the wrap, but yeah.

I think the entire model might just look better if you had done away with the TC, that way you could go into real detail.

 

[Thrikodius]

Well I can't do anything about the wrapping. I could remove team color but I would at least like to have some at the shoulders. The gauntlets could be black like in the original Marine model. But then I think these smaller scales kinda fit with the Dragonspawns scales. I'll enlarge them slightly so that you can see that they are scales.

 

[Thrikodius]

Hmm... I tried to fix the scales for some time but I don't think they look good anymore. I'm gettin kinda bored on this model now. I don't have the energy or the time to make something advanced and I'm out of lizard themed ideas.

Pick one of them. I don't think any of them look very good but I'm too fed up with this now.

Number one has the most changes. Release it to the model section and be done with it. A good model for someone who has just entered our community, Good luck on your next try.
