Post Your Current WIP: V6 "I will stroke a doll. You will benny fit!"

[QUOTE=TaleGunner;52707910]I love dieselpunk aesthetics, especially those with a heavy WWI influence. So, when I saw the art of Jakub Rozalski (whose work is the foundation for both the board game Scythe and the currently in-developement RTS video game, Iron Harvest), I knew I had to make a dieselpunk mech.

That was about 6 months ago. I finally got off my lazy ass and did it.

The walking is not perfect yet, but the visuals are done. Here's what I've named the Mk. X Windsor

Looks sick. Also, is that ambient occlusion?

im confused on how to get ambient occlusion to work. i know it involved nvidia and their software, but still

Dumpster tank reporting in.

It's about 1.5 times the height of an average person, weighs in at 7.3t, armored with 50mm thick plating, uses the smallest diesel V8 available, and is armed with 4 .50 machineguns.

Relies on the innocent looking eye-like lamp to lure enemy soldiers into a false sense of security.

now add legs

-cough-

[t]https://puu.sh/xJx9H/f5760d55e8.png[/t]

[Vioxtar]

I'm supposing there's no better place to ask than this thread - what's are the best ways/tricks to give legged contraptions (such as mechs) true functionality to their legs? As in, to prevent legs from constantly gliding on and off across the ground as the mech's body moves, and actually have a mech be dependent on its legs other than the other way around?

Every time I tried building mechs legs never really 'stuck' to the ground

e: Preferably with the basic vanilla-ish tools, such as physical properties/weight tool/etc

In my experience with mech legs I've found you can either choose something "true" or you can choose something that "looks right", but not really both. The closest I have seen to what you want was a free-swinging foot constrained with some creative rope placement being pushed in a downward circle by a pair of offset hydraulics, and even that "cheated" with advanced ball-sockets and had difficulty on uneven terrain.

If by chance you are willing to come to the dark side (simulated movement) I would be more than happy to help.

[Vioxtar]

Sort of the answer I was expecting. What's simulated movement?

[FokkerBoombass]

Think that's basically having the body of whatever legged thing you're making move on its own through the dark magic of e2 while the legs just pretend to be doing something. That's how most mechs over here work.

On a side note, It's an honor seeing you here VIoxtar. I love your work and I currently have a poster in my room of "Elevation" hanging in my bedroom.

Well done. That's a very nice and thorough replica. For future reference though, as it seems like you used DoD's vehicle models, those DoD vehicles are incorrectly sized iirc. If you're as anal as I am about replicas, you might consider other sources for in-game reference.
