It might be easier for me now, but I recall several years back it was hell for me.

So far the leg types I see for this are reverse bipedal legs and quad legs, what other types will you have?

[Sgt. Rho]

Till now, only Bipeds, that Cuadriped isn´t for this mod, but for Advanced Airforce

[Vengence]

Quads are not in this mod. However both types of bipedal will be in. Also all you've seen so far are mechs, thats not all there is. There will be plenty of tanks and vehicles as well as infantry and aircraft.

[Soul]

Oh I have had this idea for a transport/gunship(For infantry) for a long while now and this idea for a large dropship/transport(For vehicles and mechs), aswell as a neat fighter and a bomber too.

Cool, care to tell? I may have been working on this mod for years but I am pretty much redesigning everything and removing lots of old stuff. I could really use some good ideas

[Soul]

I think MSN would help us talk more into this quicker.

[Vengence]

Once I get out of school. That would be about 8:15PM - 8:30PM EST

[Sgt. Rho]

I have made a walker out of boredom. If you like it, just ask me on MSN for the model^^

[Vengence]

Erm, interesting but doesn't fit on any side. We'll talk about that later.

Sweet uber update!

Now you all get to witness my animating!

hmmm the models are nice, but your textures are just plain and crappy, its like u just applied different basic materials on your mech's parts, the animation is awesome but your only problem are the textures

[Vengence]

Well have you considered how much I'm multitasking in ? I'm a modeler, animator, coder, concept artist, designer, story writer, and skinner all in one. Inevitably some of those are not as good as others. Just keep in mind that at least I have the skinning and UVW unwrapping knowledge covered, even if they aren't as good. So far, in psd format, the Dark Star texture is a 55mb 800x800 file. while one of my other ones is a 65mb 2048x2048. Chances are if you divide those you get an understanding of how much better my dark star skin is compared to the other.

Also look at the EA Artists, they have employees specializing in a particular area and look at me, I'm doing everything with the help of other people. I read that the Tripod used several basic underlying textures for detail. In my mech I have about 6 to 8 overlaying textures to provide small details and dozens of other layers for more individual larger details. I have enough layers and details to fill 60mb, think about it. Even for a 2d image, that is alot of details and I wouldn't be surprised if I go to the 100mb range.
