There are more renders of the new model on page 2


Starting to work on a 3d model of the vulture and am trying to make it look MWO styled but not so it look like a totally new mech. Still need to model the legs, add details to the back, then texture and rig it.


Remodelled alot of the mech, and use the mwo timberwolf legs.

New Model:


Old Model:

Oooohhhh nice!
Only thing that may need some work is the arms they look kinda bland and "bare" maybe an armor shroud around the upper arm? or possibly a whole new reworking any who. Great job!

14 + 6 = 20

9/10. Excellent.

I just wish the cockpit was bigger.

Agreed, the cockpit really should fill the entire "top" of the chassis.

I don't like the missile doors, they look like Freddie Mercury's jacket.

Torso kinda looks like a Shadowcat! The cockpit framing is additionally reminiscent of some Dark Age Nova Cat 'Mechs.

I think the details are a little too busy. From a maintenance/fabrication point of view, it would be a nightmare to take this thing apart to service it and make new parts. I appreciate the amount of work it takes to model all that stuff, but less can be more.



Take these seven "pods" below the cockpit for example...what is their purpose? Is what's underneath so temperamental that it needs to be exposed above the surface line of the frame beneath? I also don't agree with the "ribbing" along the top of the nose - the size and frequency of repetition combined with the missile bay doors they make the design appear to be much wider. I'm wondering if those can be "chunked up" a bit more - fewer and larger versions of the ribs, in other words.

The antennae are a fresh take on the design, really brings it back to the early designs of the 2750s and prior. I can see this being a "Mark I Mad Dog" from the initial production run in 2963.

[ValdnadHartagga]

Yes! Great work with the nose section.

Really giving me that TRO 2750/3025 vibe with all the angles, panels, and antennae. I'm digging it.

Like that could ever be a bad thing.

Joe3142, let's see a hero mech with a thick moustache.

[CyclonerM]

One of the best Mad Dogs so far!

Not done much on this lately, but for all you moustache lovers here it is with a very quick one I made

That's no moustache.. that's a flipping Water Buffalo!

I kinda like how mw4's vulture had the turret thing going on under the nose of the ct. Gave it more of a look of its own imo.

I prefer instead the classical design. I am glad this looks more it

[Iqfish]

I LOVE the Mad Dog from the MW4 Vengeance Opener:

[MrWhite]

I'm sure it'll be in "kerenskys reinforcement pack" along with the Loki.. I'm sorry... "hellbringer"... Grab deal.

Legs are good except they are to long.

They look in-proportion to me.
