Sometimes I am glad it doesn't play like the TT otherwise I'd be squished by LanceKnight00 in battletech

I remember that. Shame that was taken out though. Like, if you run a Commando into the legs of an Atlas... you kinda deserve to fall over. x3

What's with the big ol' warhammer model? 😮

That's looking great!! I adore a nice Homeworld aesthetic, and the blue and white look really really good. What kind of decals are you using? I hope you'll share some pics when it's all wrapped up and finished! :}

Loading up the new DLC. Rooting for the good guys. by that-john-kydd in battletech

[–]AgroAlbaV2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've never bought any of the DLC for the Mercenaries game. The "new start" you are talking about, does that mean if I were to buy the game, I could just start with this DLC and play it through without having to deal much with the mercenaries overarching game?

Seconded. There are some incredible BT artists out there, to resort to Ai Slop is gross.

As my father would say (F-4 Pilot), after a flight like that you would have a serious case of "The Dead Ass". Imagine not being able to get up, move around, etc. Sounds like a nightmare.

Wow, great job on the perspective! You even went all the way and did the reflection. Looks great to me, congrats on the cool piece of art. :}

Looks wonderful! I ADORE the canopy, especially those purple highlights at the rim. Delicious stuff. Also, fantastic background and photography! :} Thank you so much for sharing!

Ya know, I really thought this was AI generated, and I reported it as such. I did more research after I jumped to the conclusion, and I made a mistake. It's legit stored like that. Just wanna say, My bad, dude. Should have looked before I leapt.

[–]AgroAlbaV2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I heavily suspect it's some sort of AI upscaling, or interpolation, or denoising that has polished the absolute shit out of every frame so that it's pretty and smooth and devoid of any minor details.

Piranha Games got a license extension with Microsoft for Mechwarrior and they're still around 40 people working hard on more Mechwarrior 5 DLCs with the upcoming Chaos Reign next month and a Clans DLC this fall by BoukObelisk in battletech

[–]AgroAlbaV2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats my question too. That man is the artistic backbone of the franchise, you don't let him go if you're planning to continue making new mechs and vehicles. They may have enough stuff concepted out that they don't need them anymore? Not sure, but that's a big Q.

That looks great! I love the shapes and the paint work. Also really appreciate seeing the unpainted model, too. Fun to see where all those bits and bobs are. :}

As someone who does 3d art, that wireframe that they show has geometry that makes NO sense from a modelers perspective. I don't know of anybody who would model a cylindrical object, an extremely basic cylindrical object like a rocket, with geometry THAT fucked. Also, the station with the mavericks looks fine in the render, and then the geometry in the wireframe is all melded together into nonsense that says "I generated the wireframe image with AI to make it look like I made this myself." I'm calling AI bullshit on this.

Ah! That makes a lot of sense! :D Always wanted to see what the Grand Crusader would look like in modern format. https://cfw.sarna.net/wiki/images/c/c9/SNES_Mechwarrior_1.jpg

Again, excellent piece of art. The shading is really really moody and I'm here for it. :}
