Neptune_Minowa Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Last render for today. Found the Tornado super parts in the files and decided to use em. Also used custom colours cus why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyxxed Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Okay, you're shaming me into needing to learn rendering because that looks really good! The details really pop out nicely and I think the new colors look great. Did you make the two seater cockpit as well, or is that something you found? I've only come across single pilots in the models thus far, but also didn't dig much farther than my NUNS project required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PointBlankSniper Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I assume the model is animated in game, so do the missile tubes and the chest armor pod actually depict anything inside? Or are they just duds like the DX? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are from the Delta Scramble game and are mapped in very odd ways, but are still very nice models. Here is a quick attempt at putting Alto's colors on the 31J, which....mostly highlight that Alto's colors are a bit boring. Iconic, but not as interesting as I had hoped. Anyway, some pictures while I futz around and see what other ideas come to mind. And ,yes, the mission container is missing, they're separate components in the game and I haven't finished pulling everything back together yet. Feedback and suggestions welcome. ayyyy VF-31s. i need to get my hands on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair warning, it's not hard but it is considerably more fiddly (and the tools a lot more crude) than what's available for Macross 30.

guyxxed Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 So, I've mostly been playing with the Al Shahal map and have gotten it rebuilt back to "design intent" (Put the ground and river back at least to the extent it existed in the game), and am going to start filling it out with any details I can glean from the show. Why? I dunno, it's a cool setting and I have half a mind to use it in a Unity game thing I've been mucking with in my spare moments. Anyway, it's fun. What's really struck me as I've played with this, though, is the scale of it all. The map itself is around 15km from top to bottom. The port area looks super cool, but it never sank in to me before how massive it is. The central tower is 380m tall, not counting the arches that support it. That means it's as tall as the Empire State Building, and it's suspended about 100m above the lake on the arches! For fun, I dropped the Yamato (2199 version) into the scene, and it fits comfortably in the main channel. That's Ozma's VF-31 standing on the deck for reference. The Quarter (also ESB sized) and a Gaiderol (also from Yamato, and looking pretty at home in a Macross environment since the Gamilas were kind of proto-Zentradi anyway) are just to fill out the scene, althrough it looks like the Quarter is getting ready for a WMG showdown with the Yamato!

PointBlankSniper Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Very cool to see all those gargantuan objects together for scale.

guyxxed Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 So this happened today. Didn't set out with this in mind, was just flipping through reference images for Al Shahal and kept bumping over the Type 106 (or the "Regult Rhea", as I like to call it), and kept thinking to myself "it's really weird this wasn't in Delta Scramble, it's just a cool design. Someone should make it." Then I thought, "It's just a kitbash, I bet I could put it together fairly quick." And then an hour or so later this is sitting on my screen. Still some texture work to do, and a bit of modelling on the shoulders to make it anime accurate, but overall...yeah, it's a kitbash, exactly what it looks like. Was fun to throw together, though, and a nice distraction. Never underestimate the power of rabbit holes, is the lesson here, I think.

guyxxed Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Thanks. I really just took the original Regult model from M30, put the Type 104 texture on it, then started deleting parts and adding in Queadluun Rhea parts. The only thing I made myself was the tubes on top, everything else was just grabbed from other models (with some stretching). The fact that it looks right just means that's also how they did it for the show. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PointBlankSniper Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 If that's how they did it in the show, I'm expecting a lot more frankenmechs in the next series. Maybe even frankenvalks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyxxed Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Thanks to Reaper7092, I've now been able to access the SV-262 models from Delta Scramble. Elvis is in da house! 😉 As a quick celebratory project, I made the Mirage version of the Ba. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointBlankSniper Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 😮 More goodies! Kind of curious to know if the shins actually have a hatch and carry the sword inside. I assume they didn't bother with those, but it would be nice to know. Same for missiles in the pods. 🙂 A livery request if you get around to Lil Drakens, is to slap some Mirage colors on her pair. I wish they made them match her colors in the movie lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they made them match her colors in the movie lol There is a version with the Lil Drakens, so I'll put it on the list. And, no, there's no sword compartment or missiles in the pods, although both exist in the model directory. Roid's plane is holding the sword in battriod mode. It's a crazy complicated model even so, which I suppose matches the design and toy, a million little bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyxxed Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Had some time, so here you go: Mirage 262 both with original Lil-Drakkens and color matched (sort of, it got to be too much pink, so I slid them down to purple, which I think looks pretty good). Also, here is the sword wielding Roid for fun. He looks kind of bored, but I haven't messed with posing these models yet, so anything more dramatic will have to wait.

PointBlankSniper Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Not gonna lie, I think the purple you used for the Lil Draken are closer to Mirage's color. The Draken III is actually a little too flourescent. But I'm not complaining. The contrast with both shades nicely follows the rule of "super parts are more drab". Recoloring the Lil Drakens really does make the whole thing look more correct. The official colors should honestly just be retconned like this lol. Apparently, there is a version of Roid colored (hijacked?) Ba units that oddly don't share the same livery patterns with a the other Windermere units. Didn't even realize that was a thing until I saw MAHQ. Not gonna ask you to make that lol, just curious whether it's in the game files, since I barely remember those from the show. I'm guessing those were the grunts Roid hacked, that I thought were the same as his actual unit all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyxxed Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Yeh, I think you're right. I took the color from a screen grab, but putting it up against the toy, it is too bright. Here's a downshifted version. Also, yes, the Roid Grunts (Roid Minions? Roid-lings?) are in the game. Nothing too exciting, but here you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
