Wow! Looks great :)

Also, I can't tell, but is the rifling on that gun a spiral?

Yeah. It's an Autocannon, so it's got rifling down the barrel.

not bad for robots. all the work defininetly looks worth it. i prefer heavyarms custom tho-more guns

:3 Not too bad for 9 hours, eh?

I dunno, hard to beat an Atlas... But remember, the clanners might be better, but they are the Bad Guys, (with the possible exception of the ghost bears, who moved in and became raselhagians.

Well, good and bad are always dependent on point of view. :)

You should definitely post this over on Mektek.net as well!

Ya think? I dunno, they got alot of folks over there who could whoop my modeling pants off.

Maybe. But they appreciate every artist. And there's no better way to learn to do it even better than to go to those who can teach you.

\o.o/ I remember this! Mechwarrior right?

Yup yup! :D

:D sweet! to bad my CD's are all scratched to hell though :( people around my house just dont seem to care about properly storing games x.x

Hey, I heard a bunch of people on SL raving about mechs the other day. Were you one of them?

Newp! Never been in SL for more than a few minutes really.

It's a strange place :o

I'd hate to say I joined just to be a pest, buuuut...

Incredible :D

Thanks! :D

What software was this anyway?

3ds Max 9

hmmm, Interesting, You saw my models too right? :3

Brilliant! I've always loved the Thor for it's asymmetry. It's pretty rare to find people that remember the old MechWarrior games, especially since most people have had their minds raped by the recent Mechassault travesties...

I enjoyed mechassault, but it lacked the feel of the old games. Plus I don't much care for the new mech designs. I prefer the oldies, around the 3050 era.

yes wants to find old mech teams but found one but its to complex to mess with XD.

I'm hoping to find a battletech clan in san fran. :) I love the board games.

That's so awesome in many ways. Also I've always find rather hilariously ridiculous how heavier mechs could actually carry jumpjets, and even use them.

I think the Thor is the heaviest mech to have them, and yeah I agree. :) Imagine getting kicked in the face with that boy.

Hehe, ever put 'em on a Daishi/Dire Wolf? Like a flying wall.

Whaaaaaat? No way in hell that'd work. x3

Woo, reminds me of playing MechWarrior 2 on an old computer that sucked! :D

Lol! I played Mechwarrior 2 for the first time a few months ago. :3

9-10 hours? Man, I can never keep focused on a single project for nearly that long XD

*laughs* It helps to have a hard-on for this particular mech. :)

This makes me think of a Crysis mod.

I donated my Mad Cat model to those guys. They had nothing but good things to say about it, saying its one of the best they'd seen, etc. But despite all of that I've never seen it show up in a single render / screenshot. Starting to wonder if they just tossed it and started over. :(

awr

HELL YES!!! One of the best!

:D I concur!

ballin

Bitch be trippin balls!

BALLS? Where?

Sweet mech!!

Gratsi! :)

Gasp Thor. <3

Rawr... :3

I loved this Mech when I played Commander...

MechCommander 2 is by far my favorite mech game. It's a shame I could only ever get one of the damned things.

Thors that is.

Alas, for I have only been able to play the first MechCommander and I think MechWarrior 4.

I'll going to keep saying this every time you upload a mech.


<.<
>.>


SUMMONER

NOOOOOOooooooo.......... :P

It's a force of habit. I grew up calling it thor. :) Not to mention the big ass blueprint hanging on my wall constantly reinforces it with big letters saying "THOR" x3

Summoner

this is really good man!

Thanks! :D

Loved my Thor for C5 back on the Zone in MW3 :D

Mechwarrior 3 is my favorite of the mechwarrior series. MechCommander is my favorite mech game though, but MW3 is fantastic. I put it on my little MSI Wind, and just had to take the thor for a test romp. :)

It looks badass already, can't wait to see you do even more stuff to it!

^_^ And soon it shall be badass-er..... >> Thats totally a word.

Unleash that badassery!

nice work mister :D what kind of job do you have anyways?

3d Developer for a crummy little integrations company. But I'm going back to school so I can get a game job hopefully.

cool maybe one day we'll be colleges :P

Aha, That is great. Fully rendered on your own? What program did you use to make this? And a fully textured end piece? I can't wait :D

Made it in 3ds Max 9 while at work. It's just a Ambient Occlusion render. :)

O_O holy phenoly! Another one of these! Awesome!

:D I want to make the Vulture next, considering I already have the legs done back from when I did the Mad Cat.

*dances* wooohooo!

I remember one of the times I was playing, I finished a mission and got lucky, there was a thor available and I actually had enough credits to buy it after I sold my old mech. Gotta love the heavy mechs for their ability to just wade through combat. Jumpjets are useful too, I liked it that I could put them on the Thor.

Personally, my favorite mech is heavier even than the Atlas, it's in some of the Mechwarriors: Mercenaries games. Name is something starting with a J, it weights 120 tons where the Atlas is something like 110 or 115. Beefed up with extra armor, a couple PPCs, an enormous block of lasers of various kinds, a few missile pods, and just for good measure a Howitzer (you only get a couple shots with it, but it can lay waste to anything you hit), and control it all with a nice joystick with a twist feature and you're pretty much set for anything that doesn't require you to move quickly.

I just wish there were more mech games that you could use the Steel Battalion controller for.

*nods* Everyone really likes the Atlas, and I confess It's just a bit TOO brutish for me. :) I prefer a bit of maneuverability over hulking mass. Though if you ever need to just totally blow the shit out of someone, yeah, atlas is hard to beat. :)

And a game that used the Steel Battalion controller would be amazing. :D

I agree, sometimes maneuverability can be a good thing. In Mechassault, which, while vastly different than regular Mechwarrior games, wasn't that bad, I've actually used a power-armor to kill a computer controlled Atlas. It took a REALLY long time.

I actually HAVE steel battalion. I need to build myself a table for the panel so I can actually play it properly though.

Thor was always a favorite.

Then you are a wise man. x3

So bad-ass in the MW3 intro video. Stepping on people and stuff? Hardcore.

The MW3 intro makes me happy in my pants..... *shakes*

The sad thing is that in the intervening (almost) decade, real-time graphics have gotten to the point where they're better than the pre-rendered intro movie ;_;

Awesome!

Thankies! :D

Oh my god yes, I love this mech!

Me too! it ties for favorite with the Vulture. :)

Hmm...I think the right arm could use more bulk/mass. Though I suppose that's what that mech is supposed to look like, huh?

Yeah, the right arm is rather spindly looking. Tahts one thing I love about the mech is it's asymmetry. Although I'll double check because it does look a bit TOO slender. :3

Thor looks great man. Hmm maybe have one that has battle damage.

ya know, if ya didn't tell me I'd think it was a like plastic model and not a computer model...

*gasp*

I wish I could do stuff like this!

*grins innocently*
*runs and hides*

I lurves MechWarrior and the like - My favorite is the Mad Cat

That's is one nice specimen! He better keep that right arm up. I can see one hit to the arm would take it clean off if not careful.
