War of the Worlds - Tripod

Time to Model: 20 Minutes
maby time to animate: 4 days

Looks pretty good, still needs a skin too. This is a good WIP.

+rep

If you'd done the proper Tripod from the Jeff Wayne's musical version, I'd have repped you... That just doesn't look *evil* enough! Ho well, looks nice enough.

Damn that is pretty sweet, whats the attack animation goin be?

hmm...show me a wireframe pls.

The legs look pretty messy, but the wireframe should show that.

But yeah other then thatm your tripod is not evil enough. It's legs also look really messy.

Yeah, the movie Tripods sucked, hell, the whole movie sucked. The game and the book are much better.

Nice model though.

the movie tripods were kickass

yes indeed they where! But the Jeff Wayne things are just so classic ^^

I kinda enjoyed war of the world really. It was just a pity they had to holywoodize the thing. The basement scene took way too long, Tom cruise is way too gay, the ending was way too America, and that kid couldnt have lived. Other then that, it was quite fun.

The heat rays made up for everything.

Farewell Thunder Child...

Long, long Time ago, i made a tripod-model, that looks like this thing:
Yes, the legs are shit.... i have made them new and addet the heat-ray-thing (or wtf this beams in the movie was)
I show you some pics, today... but not yet. *work on skin*

forget the texture, show us a wireframe first.

Okay, some Pics:

At the moment, onlay stand-1 Animation

that old pic pwns, it looks like it would fit into wc3 perfectly (besides the legs ofc.)

The new model shots look pretty good, but i dont really trust those legs.
