Hello, just starting a project at random, hoping it goes well. It'll probably take a few weeks/months :/

Heres the First Hour of work:

Just a simple update to the torso w/ some colour to help see what's what. Red: Rockets Green: Energy, Dark Grey: Ballistics, Blue: Jump Jets, Yellow: AMS. If anyone has suggestions or has some feedback, it would be great to hear it.

Here's an updated model W/ some legs. If you have the time, any comments/Feedback would be much appreciated.

[Arnold J Rimmer]

Is that a Mackie?

Heya. It's coming along rather nicely so far. The torso looks a bit rough (really bumpy) but the legs are coming along rather well as are the weapon systems. Are you building a specific mech? If it's original, what's your planned loadout?

It looks as though it's not going to have lower arm actuators. Have you considered making the arms out of separate pieces or detaching them so that their ability to move (and be blown off) would be easier?

[Boom Stick25]

I dunno, BTW, I'm about to post a more polished torso, and no, the design is based off 'Mechs like the Stalker and Blackjack

The 'bumps' are to make up blank spaces

Oh, and the arms can move sperately

I just haven't fiddled with their movement just yet

BAD NEWS: PC isn't strong enough for the poly count, animations are gunna be faster, Ill try to use a film editor to extend it, but otherwise it might look crappy. Ill upload Pictures aswell if need be

For those who cant get much from the video

The two larger Ballistic weapons would be AC/20's or AC/10's, The smaller one would be either an Ultra AC/5, AC/5 or AC/2 (I think). The Two Energy weapons in the right arm would be Large lasers [Any variant], while the one in the torso would be a PPC. On top is an AMS. It would also have two Jump jets [As seen on the model], but i havent used any Missile weapons in the game, so i wouldnt have a clue (SRSM maybe?). Armour would be the balancing factor if this were to be in the game.

If anyone has a suggestion for a name, That would be good

[Boom Stick25]

Just a quick update, The legs are going to be re-worked. More specifically the hydraulics are going to be removed and the 'Hinges' will be buffed up as if they contain some sort of movement systems. Expect an upload of the changes in 1-3 days, depending on whether or not the same upload is to display the rigging of the model.
Until then, Think of a name for the Mech

[Koniving]

12 tubes, so it could be a twin SRM-6 or S-SRM-6 launcher setup. I would say LRM but it'd be hard to justify 12 tubes even for a sub-tubed LRM-20 rapid reload (the Atlas in Battletech has a hip mounted 5 tube LRM-20 that rapidly locks in and fires off 20 missiles across 10 seconds).

[Boom Stick25]

Just a quick update, I'm beginning a basic walk animation now, so expect a video by in the next two weeks

[Boom Stick25]

Here it is!, as the description says, expect a 'polished' animation soon.

[Boom Stick25]

Here you go, the polished animation. Next will be a basic UV/Colour map

Also thinking about the name 'Tiny Tim', anyone else got one?

[CyclonerM]

For some reason it looks like an Argus (a later 'Mech)

Keep doing it

Am I right in thinking that the Argus was invented by Microsoft for Mechwarrior 4?

[Colby Boucher]

Gotta say, that thing is so ugly it's cool.
