A bit of help meaning the warehouse!! I found something of striking resemblance on the warehouse. I'm not saying your guilty, and I'm not saying your not, but I'm saying it's a possibility.

Did you get this off of 3D warehouse? I haven't actually seen any other models that you have made, so this as a first impression could be doubtful...

2 weeks - 18,790v

Posted 2009/11/27 - 23:12 GMT

Ah,

I download a different Mecha off the warehouse as a source of inspiration.
I then constructed my own borrowing a few parts, and using some new techniques ive been learning.
Comparing the two, they dont look similar.

I did not just copy someone elses design, and take credit for it.
This model is my own, another was used for inspiration.

You cannot use this because it is copyrighted material. You should distort it a lot into your own personal design.

Its not copyrighted, I made it myself.

If you think im that low, to just take something off the warehouse and call it my own, then you are mistaken.

Easy

Target

I don't require any new vehicles but I do think it's very cool! This vehicle may cross into Aubrey's no-no land in the FAQ though about "no humanoid characters".

I would consider making the neck extend on a long coil, controlled by mouse to shoot lasers off the helmet top or out of eyes and also have wheels come out from hands and knees to drive when not walking. :)

For amusement's sake, here is a video

2 weeks - 18,790v

Posted 2009/11/29 - 17:56 GMT

In one of the Gundam series, there is a set of cannons mounted by the head dubbed "Vulcan Cannons"

Im not sure about the coiling neck, but the head would be able to rotate.

And I don't think deleting the arms off is a good idea.

It marvels me how you are able to do this in a program as Sketchup, it's a shame such a vehicle would not really suit vehicle-based Mars.. Many may have said it before, but I'm just going to say it again because it's true. :P

Amazing, absolutely keep going, you might want to look into programs such as Blender, who knows what you could do with that? :)

2 weeks - 18,790v

Posted 2009/11/29 - 19:26 GMT

I've tried Blender, and to me it doesn't make much sense. What im going to do is attempt to download this into Unity, and further edit it from there.

The vid I placed was for amusement/inspiration, not to suggest deleting arms.

...about the humanoid thing though.....

2 weeks - 18,790v

Posted 2009/11/29 - 22:06 GMT

You're view on the humanoid aspect of the Gundam is correct.

I wasn't sure if I robot would be the same as a human.

I'm going to change it up a bit to set a different look on it.

4 weeks - 32,767v

Posted 2009/11/29 - 22:18 GMT

Onee-san, I am simply printing words from the FAQ page. My view tends to agree with the FAQ but this creation, being a vehicle, seems to be in a gray area, yes?

Well, about the original thing...

Cars were thought up a while ago.
The wheel was invented... hmm... ages ago.
The hovercraft idea has been around for more than a decade.
Tanks have been around enough.
The plane was invented not to long ago.
Mars was discovered a long long time ago.

And If you know anything about Japanese Manga, its not a Power ranger, nor is it a transformer.

Hi Sausage,

As always, Google is my friend.

I typed "sketchup dome" in my search field and got this neat little link from him:

Please note that the approach described there gives you a double walled dome.

If you need a single walled sphere, try this link instead:

If you want to explore Sketchup further, try to have a look at my sketchup tutorial playlist on youtube:

Fai, I beg of you, go through with this idea. I feel its GREAT for all martians of marsxplr.

Cause you know at sometimes, its boring to be just a vehicle.

Sometimes, some of us want to expand our horizons with having fun and Dogfighting, and I feel wthis is the BEST way too

From a vote, all martians of marsxplr would say yes.

*And I have the feeling the creator of Marsxplr would not only agree with this idea, but would hopefully help you with this outstanding idea!

I await to hear results of this wonderful creation in progress...

As a general statement, most of the players have said to go through.

But there are the few long time players who really understand the game, and say no. Until I get an Ok from them I will not go through.

Even if we DID say go through (and I won't, if only for the forthcoming reason), Aubrey would shoot it down.

The FAQ clearly states that Mars will not have ANY humaniod characters. None. Aubrey does not want to promote violence, and this one would. How WOULD it shoot, hmm? It would need guns, and that's what Aubrey said he did NOT want.

If it wasn't against Aubrey's guidelines, I'd love to have this in the game. ;)

Oy, I can't remember a time when this post didn't exist >.<

But, anywayz, even if they didn't have guns, if you went to laser-beam mode or whatever, you would still have crosshairs or something else you'd aim with.

And, like Aubrey said, crosshairs centered on someone or something's head is NOT what Mars is all about.

But I still like the Mech.

Even though I think manga/anime is brainrot. ;)
