[mwip] Overlord Hive

enf0rcer · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">quicky</div> a quick 10-15 mins work just putting things together. I removed some details and added others. I dont like the leg thingies much. i just added them for the pic. Anyways what do you think so far? (please keep in mind this is not my work i just carried on from the other overlord)

Personally, the legs are WAY too thick, they should be thinner.

DocterJ · May 2003

The behind needs some detail and attention, but otherwise quite good. The front two legs are too thick, but otherwise the legs are fine. Also, some more attention to the head.

the legs are way too thick, thats true, but the fore arms are supposed to be big, thats the way it is ingame. oh, add a little trunk thing to the face like it is in the overlord's HUD when you select one.

Little_Shibby · May 2003

Looks nice...hopefully it will be finished soon

Pykmi · May 2003

Great stuff! Can't wait for release.

coil · May 2003

I agree that the legs (with the exception of the front claws) should be much thinner and spindly; they should definitely *not* taper as they currently do, but start skinny and stay skinny. Look at an insect's limbs - they don't change width along their length. Go for something like that.

And the eternal question.... polycount?

enf0rcer · May 2003

yea i said the legs sucked and coil.. you better sit down for this one. ... *cough*<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>1600</span>*cough* .. i post pics in a min of the head and new legs.

coil · May 2003

Well, it's 300 above the default - a fair sight better than most of the other SC models. I would suggest trimming polys from the forelegs and head in particular, and you may be able to pull some out of the back as well.

Note the way the SC unit's legs are aligned when it's floating in place - IIRC, they tend to bend, and finally angle slightly backwards, similar to an insect's. From the side, it might look like this (ph33r teh ascii art!), though not so pronounced:
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'> ooo
0000.o
/ / / |
\ \ \ |\

enf0rcer · May 2003

ok i see. And yea there are so many polys that can be taken out on this model.. im just not the man for the job since i dont really kno how. The body is like a geo-shpere with a 3 "depth" count. anyways ill fix the legs now.. i've been woprking on chopping up the face and giving him a long shnoze

DocterJ · May 2003

nice. All we need is a mesh.

Ollj · May 2003

someone called my name?

enf0rcer · May 2003

lol ollj.. i wuv you. See guys people like ollj rock they help out ppl in need.. such as myself.. constantly lol. Anyway ollj could u just lower this one to the original poly count rather than super low. I mean you did a great job with my other hive but i wanna keep this one relatively medium polied (if thats a word). Thank you so much <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Pykmi · May 2003

Too many underlings. Spawn more overlords.

Damn, I'm jumping around until I get a chance to use that in-game, even without a skin <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Ollj · May 2003

look what smooth groups can do with that plate-armour.
poly count will go down to 1100

Ollj · May 2003

enf0rcer · May 2003

Ollj · May 2003

the head was screwed a bit and there was nothing that looks like a claw.

Wahey! It's cute =)

THErat · May 2003

Commander · May 2003

It needs more back spikes.

Coony_arg_FreemaN · May 2003

Pvt_Hudson · May 2003

great work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

just a thought, the head may need a little more detail.

pm me when u are done, i will animate it.

Liku · May 2003

Looks dead with the Legs just hanging, but that'll be fixed with the Animations right?

Sylver · May 2003

It's very nice to see that my model has gotten to the right person for the job, I know I would never have finished it as good as it is now. Thanks a lot for that. Now I've got just a small thing to add to the process, and that's that the front tentacles are 'claws', so they should be like this:
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
/ \
| |
| |
\ _ /
/ / | |
\/ \/
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
or something like that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

One other thing, there really are those tentacle thing on the side of the head. But you can only see them in StarCraft concepts and in-game. I believe SC:Ghost concept doesn't show them, but it's up to you if you want to use them or not.
