Here is a concept Batteloid that I made.

Re: Batteloids
nice work, but imo to much detail. I would expect (at least the human build batteloids) to be more like mechs.
I understand we aren't in a hurry, just wanted to show some concept images. Is this more what you guys had in mind for a mech??

The VRML loads into max, but the geometry....isn't well constructed. DOMA does't produce the kind of geometry that can be easily subdivided.
I don't think the results of the DOMA program are useful. Further, I don't like the idea of using textures and geometry from a shareware program. Snapping a preformed head and preformed legs onto a preformed body doesn't produce a distinctly new creation.

First, it's not DOMA it's DOGA. And well, just seeing what all I can make with it, as I'm getting better at it. If you don't want to use any of my work, that is fine and good. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you. I'm just trying to contribute in the best way that I can, ok?drek wrote:The VRML loads into max, but the geometry....isn't well constructed.

Hey... you're right... hehe Guess he's just a super-sized, upgraded roger-roger star wars robot, eh?LithiumMongoose wrote:Is it just me... or does the head on that first one remind you of the basic wimpy "roger roger" battle droids from the last two Stars Wars films?

Changed the name of the thread to reflect the tangent it has taken. Here is my most recent creation. The Mark 1 Battle Turret.
The Mark 1 Battle Turret features a 360 degree horizontal rotation, and 135 Degree Vertical rotation to provide the biggest firing arc available on the market today. We here at Zanzibar technologies have armed this weapons platform with 2 heavy duty plasma cannons, and for extra fire power, 2 homing missile pods. This should be more then sufficient to stop most any incoming troop pods to your planets. The open cockpit design features rapid entry and escape just in case the enemy some how manages to aim a bomb at your location (easily detectable with the early warning bomb feature, for an additional 157,632 galactic credits).

I would keep clear of open cocpits with Chairs, many of our races will be aquatic, 12 feet tall or non-corporeal making the systems all but useless for them. Also its obviously poor defence and illogical for a time when chemical and Biological weapons are avalible and Space travel will likly mean your fighting on an Alien planet with hostile unbreathable atmospheres. I would expect all the ocupants of ground combat vehicles (and the infantry too) to be fully enclosed. Even now our own military is moving in this direction.
