scrin unit concepts, pictures will come tommorrow Options

[Lightstorm]

okay here are a few scrin unit ideas

Growth Cannon
a deployable unit with a low rate of fire but high damage rate. it fires a bolt of tiberium dust that rips apart a unit and leaves tiberium on the ground in 3 squares in front of and behind the target. strong against infantry and vehicles.

Float Cannon
a hovering unit that "deploys" in mid-air and shoots a burst of plasma at its target
long range artillery unit, medium rate of fire.

for the most part they ARE asymmetric. both those units deploy to fire so they'd be shp. (can you have a unit deploy but not touch the ground?)

that is no problem. you can even make it look like floating while as a building. you just have to make the wobbling building as an active anim.
So maybe the tentacles coming out on the bottom only hold it like an anchor, but not fix it.

btw do you want to make them turn (8 different facings for the units) or do they always be visible only from one side (like the hunter seeker)?
and what size do you have in mind, compared to a normal infantry or titan?

what if you make the background not black. Make it in the color of the animation only with the half of the color value.
Then when you've done the anim. change the background color to black. this way your anim fades only to a non-black background.
you should test this ingame. i don't know if this would still look good. At least TS fades it into full-transparent, so maybe it works.
