How ya like this new project I got going on? Wink

Gotta model the head and finish up on the details, but does this have Win on it or what. And believe it or not, this is going to the Community Razz

I may need someone to help with the walking anim's though.[/b]

The proportions aren't very accurate, making the legs too thin and the feet too big and flat. The legs knee joint is also too low in your model.
The main body is also becoming thinner to the top. (the sides aren't vertical but a bit angular)

In addition does the ATAT have an additional leg segment going from the hip joint in your model to the centre. This segment is used to compensate the up and down movement of the whole leg. In the picture below this is labeled as "drive motor"

Oh by the way: Star Wars Mech Pack Very Happy

Meh, it figures someone else already did this, though I'm not surprised. It is a cool unit. I looked at your ATAT link, and I have to say, pretty cool stuff there. I love the anims you have for it. Well I've already come this far with it so I might as well just fix the proportions and finish it. I wish I would have had that diagram at the start. Very Happy

The legs look insanely thin... They'll snap if they try to move...

Na, this is unbreakable steel Razz

If you can remember in StarWars-EmpireStrikesBack these were all most invinsible. Nothing could penetrate the steel armor. They either had to tangle up the long lanky legs, or go for the weak spot behind the head. So these legs are just fine.

Huh, so it draws the shadow even if the SHP frames themselves bypass the size limit? Interesting

yea thats wierd how that does that isnt it? I dont think I set the correct foundation to show full size. So I think it defaults to fill in what ever is outside of the foudation limit with a shadow., I'm guessing. I've experienced this behavior with oversized buildings as well.

Still need an animator if there's one available. I can do simple anims, rotations, buildups,color changes, but something like this is a little to complicated for me, though I will give it a try, but I already know the results Crying or Very sad

AT-AT Mark 3! Sweeeeet! =D

Release it as a model I'd say...Would certainly be good for SW:EaW or something...

That's ztyping awesome... is it a SHP or a VXL?

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

It's going to be .shp. I'll release it as soon as the anims are done. Though could be awhile if I dont get some help with it.

Eh em...
1. It seems a bit wide
2. Throw some more metal on the legs
3. Change the glass color
4. The neck could do with some detail

Overall though its a great mech

Oh and 5. I don't like 4 legged mechs (Kind of hellish to animate em)

While looking at this unit,I was imagining an airship picking it,and the unit legs would drop those big feets that would become land mines or something.
Even the ingame picture give me that feeling,that the legs are like a crane part that is carrying something,the legs and the feets seem to be 2 differents things.
It's hard to explain,but I hope you will understand what i'm trying to say.
