Say whaaaat? A 3d model that really looks like the concept art?

looks BETTER imo. The cockpit looks a bit bigger (may just be perspective vs. flat concept) lot more like shimmy's art

now just to pray for correct scale

I don't really like the huge air intakes along the side of it. What are they? Why are they there? It doesn't fly nor change into a jet so they look out of place. And before someone says they are fusion reactor inlets... well... that means they aren't armored and they'd be some sort of Deathstaresque tunnel where a single, precise shot could melt down the entire powerplant.

That might be their most accurate concept art-to-model ever. Great!

Could be radiators for the heat sinks. Its always seemed odd to me that other mechs don't seem to have any radiator surfaces. Maybe that's why they all run so hot...

It's so that they can re-use several of the King Crab's art assets on the Marry.

Hmmm, looking great. Nothing wrong with more svelte Stalker style hitboxes.

Modelers look to be doing a great job - i'd like to see the whole thing though

That's not how modeling works.

Well, it's pretty easy to see that the MWO Marauder design has several similarities the MWO King Crab design, even if not being a literally 100% copy-paste.

That's what I figured.

though if u look at the MWO king crab vs. TRO king crab, its more like the King crab is a copy of the marauder than the other way aroudn

The KC was released first, so that's why I'm using it as the baseline.

I don't think the MWO Marry looks "bad," I just don't like that many mechs in MWO re-use parts because it reduces the amount of artistic difference between them (hello Legomechs system).

or because the original designs had some sort of pods there, so it looks weird without them?

Ya know, for a non tinfoil explanation.

I actually prefer Alex's older sketch, but having said that its a good piece of work and the 3D model looks great.

After todays abortion of a patch which for me sent any progress this game has made right back to pre IGP days (frankly I enjoyed it more then) Seeing this model work, might just save me from getting a refund, just have to see if i'm still this pissed in a few days time.

The feet look better on the sketch by Alex and the ugly picture, sharper feet seem more awesome.

[0bsidion]

Oh god, it's so blue! Why is it blue?! Everyone knows blue mechs are DOA! Way to ruin it PGI, way to ruin it.

I just hope they don't make it a weak clumsy mech..

Well, at least we now know why the Wolfhound ended up looking like crap. It was probably just a rush job so that the modelling team could focus on the Grognard Cash Cow - - er - - I mean Marauder.
