My Ryoken/Stormcrow model

[dCK-Warheart]

On that day, we humble fans of this design, will sing your praises sir. Until then any more motivation you may need is yours lol

My machine is rendering in the background while I write code at work. I've improved the metallic like shine the armor should have. I've also added some more armor seams. It should be done in about 6 hours hopefully.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but I don't think we'll see this mech in MWLL anytime soon.

I would like to see it aswell, don't get me wrong. But keep in mind that the model and textures need to be changed to accomodate MWLL's pod system, probably needs some tweaks and most importantly, it needs to get animated (with other mechs waiting to get animated already and only one animator available)

[CrazySealPup]

I'll be doing the animations, MY STORMCROW... The arms were remodeled to accommodate the pods (which can be scaled if they are still too small). Retexturing won't be hard, because there won't be a huge amount of retexturing. I plan on rendering the mech from front , side, rear perspectives and pasting these parts in a single texture and then resetting texture coordinates. Materials are already in a multi-sub object and I have a script to convert the materials to standard from Vray. They won't take long to consolidate either since I'll only need a few materials in game, I have a script for that as well.

I'm sitting beside 6 other 3d artists at work, they will help me do the animations. So 5 or 6 months is not a release estimate. I'm shooting to get this model ready in time for the next patch. We will see. Either way, I'll keep posting renders.

Holy fapping shit! You sir are awesome!
Looking forward to it!

[CrazySealPup]

I have something gentlemen.. Looks much bettar. Some of the specular reflections have some noise, but oh well not worried about render quality right now. I'm going to finalize this high poly geometry by the end of this week and get the low poly model ready.

You gonna bake the normal maps after the low poly is done?

[CrazySealPup]

Indeed. Low poly shouldnt be hard, ive left a lot of the modifiers in max open that are smoothing the geometry.

I hope you can pull all of that off. I know that the Devs have stated that they are focused on other issues and assets at this time. I am sure they would be excited about receiving a new medium mech where most of the work is already completed. Best of luck to you. We are pulling for you!

[Salvatoris]

This does look awesome, dude.  I hope we get to see it in-game someday.

[Profane Arbiter]

That looks really good. My only suggestion is to add a hardpoint on the nose, as is present in some versions. Based on that rendering, it can have only have 4 lasers whereas the prime version on wiki has 5. I realize that with the MWLL way of doing things, it may just work as larger arm pods, but it would be nice if the Stormcrow didn't put all its eggs in 1 basket like the Novacat.

As an aside, will the machine guns be swappable for medium lasers when mechlab arrives?

[MerfMerf]

Nice!

my pants... they exploded with awesome cause of all the news!

So as the creator I think one variant of the should be named after you and be "your" variant

Hey how about an update CrazySealPup? It has been a couple weeks since your last one. Many of us are on the edge of our seats to see this Clan Medium mech in the game.
