Possible Wrath of Rome comic?
« on: May 29, 2007, 08:58:29 AM »
Well, I was bumbling around the net, and got the Eternal Silence mod for Half-life 2. The second I saw the UTF marine model, I had to test something. After some (very) minor modifications to the mesh and a color swap, I imported this into Garry's mod. Picture taken in-game, I used a non-colliding white isolation cube with all faces facing inward to isolate the character. Now, it's not perfect as it's not power armor, but it could fit the role of an armored Praetorian. Once I learn to get facial animations working on custom models, I could even slap a head on this sucker. There are more then enough scifi maps for the source engine for scenery.

What do you think? Does it scream "elite super soldier" to you?

Well, to me, I have to agree.  It's all armor, but it looks like it would really bog the wearer down.  It doesn't cover the full body, and it doesn't visibly show any place for weapons or similar materials.  Basically, it looks like something a terrible tank-fighter would wear, but it doesn't even look like it would do that too well.

It also looks a little girlish to me for some reason.

Heh. That I agree on. It was worse before I edited it. The butt stuck out way too far. Of course, for the animations it uses in the mod, it's not noticeable, but as a ragdoll it shows up badly.

No, THIS is a Space Marine.

And no, I didn't make that model either. It's from the Exterminautus mod.
