Giant Enemy Crab. [WiP]

[Vomica7]

ive got the claws done,
im planning on making a beach type map to go along with it.
<3

A king crab would be cool. You know, that japanese giant crab with long legs.
You would need to chop his legs to attack his body, the crab doesnt move but summons li'l crabs, attacks with his pincers, shoots strong water streams, etc.

Will the crab have weak points for massive damage?

 

[Vomica7]

Will the crab have weak points for massive damage?

i was hoping someone would mention this, and yes.
of course.
the weak point for massive damage will be on its belly.

 

[Gaz]

Yay!

Vomica7 is modelling again!

 

[Vomica7]

arms are pretty much done.
<3

 

[PBarnum]

im planning on making a beach type map to go along with it.

Why not finish the other mining map you were almost done with?

 

[Vomica7]

i have no idea what happened to it

i was getting back to after like 2 weeks and i couldnt find it.

 

[Sabre]

MS:C has crabs now? Now no one will want to sleep with it.

[/horrible pun]

 

[Vomica7]

almost done with the model, then i need to UVmap it.
i have work in like 30 minutes so im out guiz have fun with this update

 

[villager]

It better not have the same/similar freaking animations as the spiders, ffs.

Gaz, PLEASE re-animate the spiders

 

[PBarnum]

Then reanimate my armor boss.

 

[Vomica7]

then animate my crab.

haha we need a new animator.
what happened to con artist? :S

 

[Vomica7]

model is DONE!

uvmapping now, pix in a minute.

EDIT: PIX!

btw uvmapping is done.
i need to optimize poly's tho its like 1900k.




okay im done for tonight, heres a size comparison shot with some of the skinning ive done.

 

[Gurluas]

Rather large, but you can of course scale it down for a weaker variety

 

[PBarnum]

If you notice on the legs, top left (or top right depending on which one), the UV is a bit stretched. The lines seem to be criss-crossing into each other.

 

[Gaz]

Best way to unwrap, is to apply a chequerd material to the model, and then, tweak the UVs so that the squares from the chequer material are square on the model. You can't get it perfect everywhere, but its the best way.

I'm not re-animating the spider, the models too shit, same with the rig. I might see if I can convince my GF to remodel, texture an animate it. Thats going to take a lot!

 

[Sushii]

GF=GirlFriend?

Crabby looks niceish!

 

[Gaz]

Yes, Girl Friend

 

[Vomica7]

zOMG GIRLFRIEND?
and she skins and animates.
noice.

 

[PBarnum]

So you said no to the spider... But didn't say no to my model... Sweet

 

[Gaz]

No to your model



I'm not a fan of animating, so I'll pass

 

[Vomica7]

im gonna animate this one myself.
i know how to do it, i just...
hate it. lol

 

[Drigien]

i could do it if you wanted. Rigging it up should be pretty simple, and the animations shouldn't be to bad. Just need to look up some reference clips of crab walks and attacks.

 

[[FSM]The Owneded]

looks good
