@ForceMaster
That looks incredible, nice work!
How long did it take you to model this? I never could find enough detailed reference images to make one that I was happy with.
I see a lot of darkness in your wireframe image, what is the poly count for this model?
Do you find it easier to work with triangles than quads?

[ARCTroopaNate]

So like... A fully functional 8 legged walker for Star Wars Battlefront II...

*Faints*

[ForceMaster]

Thanks guys!

Here is an short video that show how work the anims.
AT-OT ingame

Now, I have a doubt about the legs order, I mean, these walker must walk like an AT-AT but with two legs per step?

In this pic the legs looks like pairs, and, in the movie, I can not see clear the animation.


Some help?

I've started the modeling one month ago. SOme pics that i have seen in the web for reference:

Actually, over 29,000 triangles, (The game doesn't like it, some parts looks weird), I will make a new (low poly) model for the upper legs parts, these are the dark zones in the pic.

About triangles and quads, well, I like work with quads, splitting it when I need triangles.

[AceMastermind]

Cool, yeah i've seen those images, but most weren't online 6 years ago when I attempted to model one. They still don't accurately depict how the front guns are attached or how the underside of the body is constructed though.

I asked about the triangles because I saw that your whole model was triangulated. I just can't imagine how it would be easier to manipulate and UV triangulated objects over quads, and at 29k tris i'm surprised the exporter didn't choke on it. Nice work painting the texture as well.

I'm not exactly sure how each leg is supposed to move, i'll have to watch Ep3 again to see, but i'd say what you have there will work just fine.

[ForceMaster]

Thanks Ace, the texture is the same from te default AT-TE.

Here is the final result:

These walk cycle works better for me than the last.

[Anakin]

That's looking very very great. I hope there will be some good maps using this vehicle.

[thelegend]

Wow! I am absolutely speechless. That's looking so awesome. Will it be able to transport clone trooper up to 8? I know that's the passenger limit in swbf 2.

[ForceMaster]

Yes, but I think that there is not a sit anim pose for passenger in the default animbank, so it need a new animbank. Also, the code for use the unit as turret will be usefull for it.

[TWINKEYRUNAWAY]

This is very impressive, wish you the best of luck on this project. Maybe one day we will see a spider droid or crab droid with as fluid animation as this.

[ForceMaster]

This is very impressive, wish you the best of luck on this project.

Thanks my friend, I will finish it soon.

There is other project: Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike (General Grievous bike)

Yes, I like SW WALKERS!!!!

[Anakin]

very very nice work.

i like you like SW walkers

[Marth8880]

Your models have a real knack for looking incredible! I feel like the max speed should be increased, though.

[thelegend]

Incredible. Just incredible.

[JazzMaster]

Jeez Forcemaster, all your modeling and animation skills are amazing. I love the detail of the texture on the wheel bike.

[GAB]

Beautiful work ForceMaster. I think you definitely are one of those rare talents that occasionally pop up and gifts this game and the community with some outstanding work.

[ForceMaster]

Thanks to all for the congrats! I love the modding!

Of course, can not leave to do the varactyl if I do the wheel bike...

Utapau Varactyl (Obiwan's reptilian mount, "Boga")

Hidden/Spoiler:

Modeling in Sculptris and animated in Softimage. The pilot pose is a custom anim for this vehicle and the Varactyl anims look almost "mechanized", due the animation walk cycle for walkers.

Here is a short video of ingame testing.
