    Maybe that could be the 'deploy' animation. It starts out folded up, the legs together and the 'nose' pointed down. Once built, the front legs sweep outward and the back leg extends out.

    You gotta remember the siege spins so you might wana make it have another leg or it would look weird when it shoots to the side.

    A couple of comments...

    The tripod base could be moved back a bit - centered, so to speak - so it doesn't look like recoil would send it toppling. Also, the base of the tripod (where it is mounted to the cannon) could be more defined. Other than that, it's looking ace. I'm real interested in what the LCD console will look like.

    Pretty basic LCD console...was going to mount it on that face infront of the triggers, but meh, i like it coming out of the side....

    I was thinking that i could mount it into that face though, and have it so that it flips open like a laptop for the online animation.

    Am i right if i think that the cannon is "designed" to be fired by a marine aiming it?
    seeing the two handles on the rear of it i mean.

    you have to set up the legs each 120 degrees apart so it has equal stability while aiming at any angel

    I think Chrono is lieing!

    I say put on 6 legs, and put them 60 degrees apart, that would show chronos... and his p90... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    nah, 12 legs at 30 degrees PWNS you all!

    Actually, that idea of a rine behind it would be cool... cept how'd it turn? Would he slide around it w/o moving?

    There is actually a small rotating pole connecting the body and the stand...u just can't see it in the renders.

    yes the marine would just slide around w/o moving, because the movement of the turrets are created using bone controlers... meh.. dont put a marine behind it.

    good so far though

    Wow.

    I never envisioned it as a siege cannon, but this looks awesome.

    Excellent work <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That is, without question, the best seige cannon EVAR. It looks a bit like some kind of pouncing animal in that render... However, it still won't work when turning. One blast and it'll tip over. If you extended the horizontal cylinders that hold up the legs, that should help.

    The LCD screen looks a bit small [in my opinion], but that's just me. Could you try and make the bases for the front two legs look like the one for the back leg? That'd be awesome. Great work; I can't wait to use this in-game.

    Since it looks like it should be manned by a marine, my suggestion is to put something on the LCD screen saying something like Mode: Automatic or something....
