btw, does anyone else noticed the similarity between the movie blood veins that the aliens planted and the TS veins? wink1.gif

Maybe Spielberg is a TS fan?

Maybe WW had looked really good at this story (just like EA did with the newest movie )
Anyways, It's getting better and better! Keep up the good work

a first shot for the death anim.

needs still some work on the leg movement, the dirt after impact, some parts falling off and some explosions, which actually cause it to loose its balance.
btw, which direction it should face in the final render? (because we can have only one direction for the death anim)

You could just make the top explode, so that it doesn't look weird when it dies and suddenly snaps to face that one direction, and the legs and remains of the torso just flop to the ground?

I wanted it to look like shown here in the final takedown of a Tripod.

But your idea is also really good, so i think i'll make this one too and the player can decide which one they use.

Yea, I understand

If possible, perhaps you could make the tripod spin once or something before it falls. The spinning might get rid of any strange "snap" effect it has when it dies. I don't know how good that would work or look, though. The torso explosion is just simple and effective, but the spinning might be what your looking for?
