The Mechacalypse - Combat drones completely devastate a city and all its inhabitants - Garry's Mod

Heck yeah, explosions! Destruction! Robots! [i]Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bang![/i] [B][I]Kaboom![/I][/B] So, I watched bits of Independence Day yesterday as I was totally out of ideas. Saw the blastwave scene and thought 'Heck, I'm SO recreating that!'. In my opinion just the huge fireball destroying everything in its way was boring though. Solution? Add killbots for instant awesome! Found some pretty fitting music too. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rPLwKuGLMs[/media] Total scenebuild on Flatgrass_Night. [img]http://www.1337upload.net/files/1RobotApocalypse.png[/img] Original: [url]http://www.1337upload.net/files/RobotApocalypse.png[/url] People often complain about how there's unneeded and pointless dust on the ground in pictures. I added it not to make the picture look dusty, but to bring out the silhouettes of the objects in the picture. It also could be smoke from the countless projectile impacts and explosions erupting in and around the scene. Took about 90 minutes in GMod and six hours in GIMP. Seriously, editing this was hella fun. If anyone is still willing to edit this, I will post the edits here when they're done. Your comments are now diamonds.

So many explosions...

Awesome!

I was excited to see how this one would turn out. You did much better than expected, this is great. Great explosions, great composition, great scenebuilding, great everything!

[QUOTE=Zeraxify;25458555]Great explosions, great composition, great scenebuilding, great everything![/QUOTE] Thank you.

Maybe the mechs shouldn't of blown the city up while they have units in it...

They are ultra durable supermechs!

[QUOTE=BigBoom;25458680]Maybe the mechs shouldn't of blown the city up while they have units in it...[/QUOTE] [i][b]"Crew expendable.."[/b][/i] I envy your scenebuild skills. Really nice work as always, Joazzz. Keep it up.

[QUOTE=BigBoom;25458680]Maybe the mechs shouldn't of blown the city up while they have units in it...[/QUOTE] they do it cuz they're fucking badass like that

That's both funny and totally epic! Your pic made me think about this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNo_r3DbQ5Y[/media] Switch directly to 0:45

EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE I approve

Did anyone think about pulling the plug ?

That would just make them even more mad.

So many explosions, oh god awesome.

This is pretty sweet!

this shit is amazing

I love everything that isn't the tracers. They could use some work. Amazing scenebuild.

Amazing work! How much time you did it?

As I said before, amazing.

Holy shit. Joazzz you never cease to amaze. Arty'd

[QUOTE=Engineer_Rus;25461941]Amazing work! How much time you did it?[/QUOTE] It seems not many people read the OP. Time details are shown under the link to the original.

The posing on the people running is a bit off. They're leaning forward a bit too much. Everything else is epic

Very nice. I really can't think of anything to criticize. Where did you get the mecha models and the explosion?

The explosions I put together from various reference images, and the mechs are Lost Planet Models.

Holy shit. This is amazing.

Haha, holy shit, that's awesome work man. Really great job. I was worried that the mechs would be hard to make out, but I see you managed to do a great job silhouetting them. The only thing that confuses me is where the lens flare is coming from, it just seems like you threw it in randomly.

Do you really have to rate everyone a heart? Still, awesomely epic!

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;25464059]Do you really have to rate everyone a heart?[/QUOTE] Yeah because I'm a friendly son of a bitch. [QUOTE=The Vman;25463836]The only thing that confuses me is where the lens flare is coming from, it just seems like you threw it in randomly.[/QUOTE] Oh that. It's coming from one of the missile trails, I think I should have made it smaller.
