A erm... Better Mech Voxel???, by El_Serpiente Options

[Bittah Commander]

Author: El_Serpiente

Here is the latest mech design, several turrets included in the zip; railgun, antiarmour cannon, autocannon and twin rocket pods. If you have any ideas for more turrets please reply here or pm me. Just such a shame that we cant have an upgradeable vehicle. Sigh... :(

TO ALL- Do not worry if this post is bumped, it will probably be by me adding a new turret and/or walkin anim.

(The walkin anim with twin autocannon turret. In HVA Builder cos voxel viewer throwin hissyfit with the gif anims :x)


(An anti armour cannon mount, like titan except smaller)


(Railgun, for all those times you need speed over armour)


(And twin rocket pods, like Hvr MLRS, but on a mech)


(And last but not least the zip, with all four types in individual zips. Enjoy!)

for the walking anim, you need to make the body shake up and down a little, otherwise it's just "walking in space" if you know what I mean...

Dude, it got a turret, wich means that if the body moves the turret would look unbelieveably silly.

[Bittah Commander]

Which is the (and probably only) reason why mechs are better off being SHPs

[Stinger]

It looks like it is scared all shivering... Walking anim could be better in my opinion

[Bittah Commander]

The mechs with your walking animations don't lift their feet at all though... They're all ice skating

nice replica of the flea from mech warrior 4

Very nice , but the body needs to "shake".

Please read the topic before you reply to it.

Simply put; the body would shake, but the turret wouldn't (and can't).

Well you can still have a teensy bit of shaking in side to side motion and still look decent. I'm not sure if a little vertical would still look ok because when I stripped off the rail guns on the Mammoth Mark II and placed a turret on top it looked like the turret was bouncing. Of course the MM Mk II also has a large angle of movement through the vertical plane.

I wish westwood had included the option of having animation for the turret and barrel as well as the body like shps. Without this, it precludes you from being able to have rotating gattling guns on voxel turrets while firing. Shps also look better unfortunately.

Any shakeing on the body would look ugly as the turret can't shake.

A thing that would look good on another type of mech would be that the body would be turning with the movent. A bit hard to explain but I think that you get the point.

Errm... You mean one that's attached? That actually isn't at turret but just a (or two (or three (or four))) barrel(s)

[TruYuri]

I remember seeing this at TumSun, and I like it. Anyone want to post some in-game pics?

Its attached?

Anyway, this voxel will look pretty stupid in-game as the barrel/turret will rotate when attack something from behind

It's kind of hard to notice the legs shaking ingame

The mech I tried to make was like that anyway, the legs would appear to shake up close but ingame you couldn't tell

Only reason I didn't put my mech up for download was because the shadow doesn't work right

[Bittah Commander]

I meant a turret that can't turn by itself.

[adarius]

Idea. Try taking a tank base....probably the redone Mammoth MK. I's and attach each of the "heads" of the mech to it....I'm thinking that maybe 2 outta 4 would look alright on a tank body.
