almost there, stay on target...
[editline]22nd September 2014[/editline]
the asymmetry of the base mesh has been driving me mad
Quick question - did anyone port the blight drone already? Wondering if I should go grab it.
it's still unported so go ahead
done with this (almost):

starting work on this:
[img]http://files.1337upload.net/ItsDaLahndRehder-10f4fc.png[/img]
once the Land Raider is ready i'll take some trinkets - comms equipment, lamps etc - from it and slap on the Land Speeder and Tempest as extra bodygroups
You should give the land raider an interior. :v:
i will! i'll design the interior myself since the official miniature version is shit, and every door will be openable (provided that there's no sponson installed on it, in the case of the side hatches). i'll also make it so that different side turrets have different kinds of things inside the side hatch slots - lascannons get uge zoggin battereez, flamers have fuel tanks and so on. makes more sense than installing the vulnerable ammo on the outside eh? i'll also have to figure out where to put the driver's seat and how to make the top hatches make sense, ie. so that they can be climbed into from the inside without requiring a Battle Brother to lift you. the base model will be just a Land Raider without armaments, and the different Patterns will all be accessed through bodygroup options. AND once again all the assault cannon barrels and such will be rigged for full animation compatibility.
this will all require EXTREME refurbishing, re-modeling and re-shaping and of course making things from scratch but it'll be worth it. i'll give the Rhino chassis the same treatment when the time comes!
i like how fast things are going forward lately, if i keep up the pace i'll get to the delicious part - Dreadnoughts - in no time
after all these vehicles are done i'll have to make sure all the Marine stuff works - texture masks, bodygroup options, weapons - so i'll probably be making another Chapter myself before the Great Reskinning starts. thinking of doing Blood Angels for that. the final bug-squashing will take some time because i want to be absolutely thorough with this. oh, and i'll make a cape, a separate rigged model that can be slapped onto the desired Honor Guard/Captain/Chapter Master/elite dude with bling and dosh. it'll be white so you can color it yourself and it'll be an universal kind of thing without specific Chapter/Legion symbols on it. banners will be made too! no Company banners, but Legion and Chapter banners for sure!
AAAAAALSO: every Marine will be skingrouped. every fucking one. each and all of them. why? the skingroups will change the detail textures applied to them. what detail textures? the battlefield role badges! the shit they slap on their right side pauldrons to indicate what sort of unit each Astartes fights in: Tactical, Devastator, Assault, Command Squad and so on. i think i won't make more than that. for this to work, i'll have to use $selfillum tricks to make the eye glow, since currently that shit uses a detail texture. when this is up and running, every jetpacking, bolter-shooting, plasma cannon-carrying and Iron Halo-boasting fuckhead will have the correct icon on their right pauldron and the Chapter symbol on the left one. this will require a few extra VMTs to work, but only for the main power armor textures, of which there are two by default so it won't be much extra work. for the original Legions i'll include a skingroup that shows the appropriate Legio number.
and as a final thing for the vehicles i'll make transparent Chapter badge meshes that are applied to all the METUHL BAWXEZ in the appropriate places and can be changed by reskinning a single texture
already managed to do quite a bit, but this is just the start!

i'll be able to make fast progress once the thing's all hollowed out
I swear Joazzz is an undercover Inquisitor from the GRIM FAR FUTURE [I](Where is only war)[/I] that tries to purge the heresy out of us with these divine gifts

well a steam friend calls me "that damned Techpriest" so it's more likely that i'm a Necron Lord in disguise

got the basic interior geometry down and made all the doors. slapping all the necessary grimdark detail on it is the next thing on the list
Will there be a skingroup for blood-stained tracks?
naw, only skins for moving ones
Apparently the images are broken.
Either that, or it's just my laptop acting up. Which would be odd as I've only just got it back from being repaired.
your laptop probably, i can see them fine

it's not just him
I can see them alright.

fuck textured surface details, we doing this the high poly way

early in-engine test

trying out a simple bodygroup thing too. i'm facing a dilemma here though
should the bodygroup setup be like this:
[code]bodygroup: doorsguns
1 no turrets
2 quad bolters back
3 lascannons back
4 firestorm cannons back
5 heavy flamers back
6 multimeltas back
7 hurricane bolters back
8 quad bolters front
9 lascannons front
10 firestorm cannons front
11 heavy flamers front
12 multimeltas front
13 hurricane bolters front
14 Terminus Ultra (twinlinked lascannons at the back, smaller ones at the front)
[/code]
or like this:
[code]bodygroup: sponsons
1 no sponsons
2 sponsons back
3 sponsons front
4 Terminus Ultra[/code]
[code]bodygroup: back sponson guns
you can guess the rest[/code]
[code]bodygroup: front sponson guns
you can guess the rest[/code]
or this?
[code]bodygroup: variant
Redeemer
Terminus Ultra
Proteus
etc[/code]
the last one would also change the front turret and other accessories, like the siege gun and dozer blade for the Ares, extra armor for the Achilles etc
I think the second option.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;46095891]I think the second option.[/QUOTE]glad to see someone replied, the second option it is then!
i'll include a bodygroup that controls the variant-specific hull mods. this of course will result in tons of tech-heretical hybrids but who cares
2 is bueno

This picture caused me to spill my tea. That shit is high poly as hell. Amazing work!
That thing is fucking beautiful, great work Joazzz
i think i'll just remove the bolts both from the mesh and the texture, they're just unnecessary detail that even the Thunderhawk doesn't have
Land Raider Achilles pic coming soon
