looks great! Love the paintjob. Those black outlines around the muzzle flash and solid looking lasers are a bit weird though, you trying to do them all in one pass? change the blending mode to add or screen for the lasers and bullets and we have a winner!

I am sure a few of you are tried of see the gun Cats.
Well I did missile Cat today for those of you were around in beta and remember the 6pak Cat.

Well, with the IMP (Improved Missile Pods) we have the 12pak Cat.
I even brought back the City.

enjoy.

I am not really sure what the tonage would be.
But I would like MWO to update the Cat to these.

They have Nerfed the Cat so much that it is kewl Cat but not fun to play.

I am back.
I have been working the Catapult and making it right.

Here is Downtown.

So far I have the mechs and have redone the base maps. I need to work on the cockpit glass.

Ah, the infamous 6ML, 2 AMS 2 LRM5 Jenner!

[baabaa214]

Well done Heffay. Thank you for ps1 script.

[baabaa214]

Still working on getting them up to speed. Gotta a lot to do still.
Going to start on bone-ing the legs and adding controllers.

Here comes trouble.....

[baabaa214]

I have rigged two of the mechs so far.
Here is the finished rig of the Jagermech.

After finishing the rigging; I will move on to the maps and camos for them.

Rigging is super easy if you use my script. Export the skeleton (usually \objects\mechs\<mechname>\<mechname.chr) to Collada (.dae) format. After you upload the object files into Blender, do an import -> Collada, find the .dae file, click Import Units (you may have to go to the scene and set units back to None). Rotate it 270 degrees on the X axis.

The armature should be inside the mech and scaled properly, and all the bones will match the vertex group names. Select all the mech components, then select the armature (it should be the bright orange color, the rest dark orange), Ctrl-P -> Use Empty Groups. Boom!

You'll still want to create IK rigs, but that's a bit more complicated. You should be able to use pose mode though to set the mech into any pose you want. The whole process should take about 2-3 minutes once you get familiar with it.

I'm almost done with my Asset Importer (aka Ass Imp...wait, no, going to stick with the long name), that will do the same thing for building and other environment objects as well. Full materials and everything.

Heffay,

I will try that.

I would be interested in the Asset Importer.

What is the current Mech Importer version now?
I saw the 1.32.

1.32. Version 1.4 is in development, but it may never go live since the Collada importer doesn't work through the python console, and unless Noesis gets updated to support the latest versions of Cryengine... it's kinda stuck.

I am working on upd..... BEEP BEEP coming through.
