    WELL YOUR (my) DREAMS ARE FINALLY FULFILLED!

    I bring you...

    The MEGABOT <3 *squees*

    Getting ready for war.

    Not just a different angle of the last picture. *Waves hands* oooee~eee- oooo~

    Oh my, it's awfully tall.

    Oopsie, he went bye bye.

    Mega5.PNG
    *poof*

    Mega4.PNG On a far away planet there was... A random army not doing anything, eak! Waste of resources! Go!

    Nanolathing begun, Megabot in T-minus: -{missing string}-

    Mega7.PNG
    Some buddies join along to speed up the process!

    Mega8.PNG
    But wait, there's more!

    Machinery, at it's finest.

    }------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------{

    What a wonderful presentation, no? Well to do this I needed to do a bit of movie magic as well... This unit and I'm going to guess all large units have the same problem as the leviathan, it seems to just teleport all over the place, in fact the first few images of the army? That was actually an advanced fabricator with the Megabot model floating above him and attached to him... Odd right?

    Anyway I don't know if this issue is with everyone so I might let everyone have a go later...

    Oh and huuuuuge thanks to @zx0 he helped texture, and animate this bugger. I did the modelling, oh and of course the glorious photography!

    I SET MY GAME TO HIGHEST GRAFIX 4 U GUYSZ TO SEE THIS IN IT'S GLORY, LUV ME BAES!

    Edit: I forgot to mention, we might need to do a darkening bake on it as this is with that fancy lighting setting off and it still looks to shiny, with it on though... Oh boy it's like the sun, only a giant robot... Of death.

    YES. Good job with the model!
    Why the heck can't I like posts more than once :(

    EDIT:
    Also will you be putting this in your own mod, or will you be collaborating with Stuart now since he started an experimental mod recently?

    No offense but that thing is butt-ugly. I wish we could just reuse or reskin the commander models.... (awaits thread implosion). Someday we will, but not this day.

    it was a model for scale mockup image.

    don't you remember?

    so :
    1. Uber made it. (now live with this on your conscience foreveeeeeeeeer :p)
    2. next to no work was put into it it was just a size comparison prop. (so it's not like that critic is very constructive, we're just flaunting modding capabilities here)

    I actually put in a lot of work into improving it from its original geometry. :<

    If you mean how much it stands out due to textures, then I agree, I'll see if I can get into making it darker and some more HD things, like vents or something. :p

    Just look at the shoulders, the arms, and the legs. Then look at the original, there's a looot more... flare?

    Needs loads more small bumps and details so it doesn't look like a kindegarden drawing. I know you are spending a lot of time on this and I appreciate that, but it really does. I suggest trying to copy one of the commander models as closely as possible and then iterate from there.

    No problem. :p

    Personally I just think it needs some better textures.
