After seeing your previous work, the only suggestion I have is.. smaller boots than the other guy had and maybe a Yuri scheme? #Tongue

Take that Yuri scheme optional, this looks nice for a Shock Trooper already.

Maybe a render of the in-game angle/distance too?

also ive attached an ingame shot to give a general idea how it will look

Are the feet small enough now!? #Tongue

Fetish.

@ ImP_Rulz,

Good lookin' soldier! Keep up that work

m7 · Commander **Joined**: 17 Apr 2009

@Comr4de: Oh whatever, I don't even wanna hear that. I was speaking that the feet were in perfect proportion to the body and they should look good on the render, not that I have some weird sexual interest in feet. :p

Shoulders need a bit more bounce, and really shouldnt wobble so much from side to side. Foot work looks pretty good to me though.

ImP_RuLz · Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 12:15 pm Post subject:

I cant render the firing animations because it has over 10000 particles and my computer doesnt have a 3d card. It took 2 hours just to render 6 frames, therefore, I need someone to render it for me.

PM me so i can send you the files.

Reduce the amount of particles by 10 and raise the particles size by 10.
On such a small resolution you won't notice a difference, except being able to render in less than a second. Wink

For an ingame render, 100-1000 particles visible at the same time are almost always enough.
If you can't see anything, then you have to adjust their size and or shape.

It also helps to use simple tetrahedrons instead of spheres with 100 surface polygons as the particles shape.
I always use a flat polygon reference and let each particle face towards the camera. Then you can also apply a transparent noise texture to the flat polygon and this way achieve the same with 1 surface than with 10000 tiny particles with 100 surfaces each.

btw, the hip of your guy seems kinda thin imo.

But if I reduce the amount of particles and increase its size then it loses its plasma-ish-ness/liquid-ish-ness #Tongue

This gun remind me of Doom 2 : plasma thrower effect with BFG 9000 green color.
Maybe you could start from a simple common green flash on the end of the gun,then try adding those sparks?

Edge · Grenadier **Joined**: 26 Oct 2003

I recommend listening to LKO. 10,000 particles is completely overkill for something that small.

too late

ive already rendered it, though it took more than 12 hours but its done Very Happy

Well, that's one way to show how much you've improved.

damn nice

it reminds me of the matrix and avatar job well done imp.

Oh wow. Now that's something I wanna see.

Starkku · Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:39 pm Post subject:

Reminds me a little bit of the Liberation Front 'infantry' (well more like exoskeleton etc. guys really but yeah) from End of Nations (example, albeit not the best). Either way, ace work. I wish I could do stuff at that level.

@Imp: Fair enough but apu's had those big 2 machine guns insted you used a huge assualt gun which is still ace Smile

, Btw you could strap some missile pods to it's shoulders would look even more awsome also it could fit for MO Japanese expermental Exo-suit unit for the campgin or just to go toe to toe with that soviet Centrion walker.

it is basically what GDI (in my mod) uses to protect its soldiers from Tiberium, when it is discovered that Tiberium is harmful to humans #Tongue

That's some excellent work. Cool

Great Job.
I really like the realistic walk anim.

You should only put something on the back of the unit, as this looks a bit bland. e.g. give it an ammo backpack or some type of engine/battery or communication device.

I would also suggest to lower the light source and move it to the southwest, so you get some longer shadows going northeast. Then they also match other shadows (except the stupid RA2 infantry shadows) ingame.

I do as well... but I tbh consider RA2 shadows better in TS colors than TS's fullman shadow.

and as MadHQ does it;
