WIP Mass Effect - Omni Blade

[Inyri]

New project, now that the Valiant is complete. The mesh is not done -- it's still missing several pieces.

 

[CrimsonStrife]

I wondered when this was going to crop up, especially after you got the references from me.

If its mass effect, the "Forge" will taunt us

Once my game development gets further along, I'll be stealing away a lot of her work time too...so even more taunting.

 

On a mildly related note, with all her ME stuff, I am surprised no one has been bitching about Liara.

[CaptainChar]

I forgot about Liara >.> but I am curious to see how the omni blade will turn out

[Inyri]

Haha I'm curious too. I'll either pull it off awesomely or it'll look really stupid. It's going to be really shader heavy for (hopefully) obvious reasons.

[Inyri]

 

Mesh complete, I think, except for maybe some resizing. Gonna go stuff it in-game before I texture it I think so I don't waste a lot of time if the proportions are off. They're based on the actual in-game model, but lord knows the JK3 models have special proportions.

[Ryojin]

These types of weapons tend to go through the arms a lot. Not much you can do about that, though.

 

Looking forward to seeing this finish either way!

[Inyri]

Luckily it's by design not supposed to rest on the arm, so that gives me a lot of freedom to make it look right. 8)

[Ryojin]

Oh, right, it hovers around the arm. I forgot. I haven't played ME3 yet (Getting to it, though, it's fairly close to the top on my rental list) so pretty much everything I know about it is from commercials I have seen, and I haven't seen them in quite some time.

[CaptainChar]

special is an understatement Inyri >.> JKA is more tempermental then a banshee with her time of the month >.<

Im also tempted to scrap the normandy map in favour of some of the firebase maps from ME3, perfect in size for 4-8 players, or a survival mod, we already got geth troopers, so i could see some fun going on there >.>

[Mog]

I think I'm gonna enjoy this mod.

 

<--- Is a big fan of the Mass Effect series

[Inyri]

 

Will probably need some tweaks before I texture, but good enough to get it in-game. Quick, somebody make me a stance that'll show it off real gud!

[Inyri]

So rigged it up and tested a BASIC texture & shader. Looks ok, I think.

 

[eezstreet]

BioWa- er, Inyri Forge strikes again.

[CaptainChar]

for a test fitting, yeah it does look good, even the basic colour looks pretty good,

[Bubbles]

That looks great, don't think I've seen anything similar to that done in JKA.

Quick, somebody make me a stance that'll show it off real gud!

 

 

Hows that? Took 10 mins counting the few times I stood in the pose to get a feel on how it should be. =p

[Inyri]

Not bad. I am surprised someone took that request seriously.

[minilogoguy18]

The good thing about stances is that you can merge them with _humanoid like usual but for a weapon like this you wouldn't need to overwrite to make it work, just let the .sab file tell it what stance to use. Which I embarrassingly  forgot the code for how that works... :blink:

 

Oh found it,

Got bored and worked on this a little, then realized it was super late and I should go to bed. So I'm gonna do that, but here's the pic:

and this proves Inyri isn't dead yet

[Botdra]

and this proves Inyri isn't dead yet

 

I disagree. I still subscribe to the theory that Inyri is a robot, and never was alive in the first place.

[Inyri]

That might be accurate.
