my missle wip

Yeah, last method sounds the best.

 

yep, #3 apeals to me as well, not like im important like flacon or krenzo though.

 

3 sounds good. I had a similar idea about 3 months ago, but lacked the expertise to get it to work

 

Well obviously I like #3

It'd be great to see it working in game. Good Luck!

 

Howabout it's more damaging when it gets into the fireball stage?

 

I think i saw the missle some where before..... Perhaps in a sex shop

 

did it explode into a blue, firery ball of plasma.

or did it just make people do that?

 

*Monster Revive*

Guess Ill continue where HELLION left off...

Here is what Im thinking for a nuke; a big beefy thing that you can see and can never confuse for a regular missle...

I realise there is a smoothing error around the "Wings"
If people like this, I will go and texture it...

What is a poly limit for a nuke? :p

 

looking nice.
If there would be anything I could critisize, is that most nukes you see (even if they are a thousand times bigger) really are convex, not sure if its the right word, but fatass all over, and yours is thin in the center. Not that it makes a difference, it'll hit the something in less than a second anyway.

If you hadnt said that its the nuke, I would've guessed it to be the UML, as it looks pretty streamlined and fast.

 

looks like a fat nuke to me. damn good.

rockets never look like shells really..

 

the back is fatter than the front, the proportions need to be exaggerated more for it to be 'fat'

 

I see what you said dizzy, I fattned it up a little bit; Though I wanted to keep the profile the same, as with that you will get a glimpse from the side and immedatly know what it is from the siluete... (I hope :p)

I unrapwed it and textured it, it turned out... Diffrent from what I was thinking in my head...

Render Parameters:
Default Max Scaline Render
3 Omni lights (1.0 Blue, 0.5 Brown, 1.0 White)
Texture: 1 Diffuse at 1024x1024

(I will lower the resolution on it, as I like to have alot of room while working)

 

Wouldn't purple make more sense for plasma weaponry? It makes more sense for a nuke to carry the nuke symbol, or yellow colours

 

:confused:
Adjust your monitor, that's blue sonny boy.

 

well, a blue nuke? still not very sensible.

 

Brenodi themed?

 

Yeah I went for the Brenodi theme (I like the brenodi color scheme :p)... And tried to avoid the cliche "Slap a stiker on saying its a nuke" thing >.>

Instead isnt it more fun telling what a weapon is by how it sounds, looks, feels and shoots? :p (Or maybe im just on crack and should slap a sticker on)

 

well, do you want to memorize what every weapon is the heard way because no colours are logical? If everything is coloured logically, it will be easier to recognize things, instead of racking you memory and coming to a bad conclusion because you don't thinks nukes are blue.

example: NF infantry "oh, a plasma missile" nuclear explosion "WTF!?!?!?!? since when are nukes blue!?!??!?!"

maybe make the warheads team specific colours.

 

Why slap a nuke sticker when you can stick a smily face on the nose. =P

 

I vote smilie face. Maybe squish the nose in so its flatter, but still rounded, so it can bear the smilie.
