[WIP - Catapult]

Hopefully the text will stay on this time. Once again, here is my untextured base for the catapult. Can you repost your replies and pretend like nothing happened?

That thing is nice.

Of course the actual catapult will be more complex, be careful and don't rush it.

So I guess that means there are no noticable defections. Wait a minute, the picture is not showing up in my browser. I saw it originally ; it that just me, or can anyone see the actual picture now? If not that's fine.

That is what I was saying, Zoxin, I had to make sure the base was right before I added the catapult mechanism. I will craft the catapult mechanism with great care, as I will try to nearly perfect the angle of the scoop. Also, I am still conflicted on what the supporter between the base and the catapult should look like. Right now I am thinking of having two leaning and facing rows of " wood" which will support the attachment point for the catapult.

those stars on the end, are they supposed to be there?

Off to a great start, I am curious (as always) to what the end result will be like.

The studded edges were not intended, however, I decided not to remove them because of two possible realistic advantadges : one, the edges would create a sort of pseudodefection in the wood, if in real life, it would be like it was not perfectly cut or battle scarred; two : it can serve as an attachment point for a ramming/spearing device.

I should get the top part (launching mechanism) done when I have time to work on it this weekend.

By the way, it was just my browser having problems. Any strange posts or such upon my account may occur due to the strange behavior of my computer. I need to run some maintence and diagnostics on the ancient thing.

Also, where is everyone else's models? Did everyone stop coming when we had the mysterious text error?

The wheels are kind of uneven, and the model itself just looks kind of messy.

Other than that, it looks fine.
When making the actual catapult part, make it right, so Wolf Grave can actually animate it...
And he would probably appreciate it if you put nodes and markers for the catapult part as well, for the pivoting of the catapult.

Did you make the weels seperately? or did you copy them?

Forget to mention again that the height of the front is slightly lower than the back. It is this way in real life, doompig. (see trigonometry) The wheels were copied. Also, it will look fine once it is skinned.

Also, why in the world are some of the subect names on the overall development discussion indented to the right?

No, I mean the back wheel. It's not dead center o_O.

I got an idea, lets just sit back and wait until noxtant has some more stuff to show us beofre we go bashing him ok?

Now you Nox hurry up! I WANT TO SEE THE END RESULT . jk I know art takes time.

Well, I guess it isn't dead center, is it? I have no idea how that happened. I will fix it for the finished model. But for now, I will actually get some time to work on it today.

Waste of tris, could be optimized more and details like battle scars should be in the texture not the model.

Apparently you didn't see my announcement on the Filefront forum. I said I was remaking the model to make it smoother and remove defections nearly a week ago, which I also completed before posting the message.

You could have posted an image along with that, or have updated the first post for all I care.

This diserves to be viewed by all. and yhea I was banned, but I could still make a new account.

I can bet your account is banned by tomorow but enjoy your stay for as long as it lasts.

Yhea I dont care, im just here for the lulz and so I can correct this idiot.

Well he does have a huge ego so I doubt your efforts will help.

But I agree on the lulz, one of the few reasons I get upset when my comp doesn't display the forums..

Grunt, I am going to personally mail you a dictionary for christmas. Your spelling and grammar are terrible. Your rhetoric is almost too vague to be understood, but the parts that can me made out show that you are an utter jackass. I've said from day one I was not very good with art concepts, but at least I make the effort to improve my weaknesses. I would personally like you to try programming or some other technical related material in which you don't use art concepts and see how pretty that turns out to be. I also said I was remaking the model to make it smoother. So, if you are going to waste my time and the world's, can't you find something more constructive to do like bug your big brother?

I may have an ego, but at least I stand up for what is right and I do not complain and whine like a jackass.

Yep, that confirms my theory, spelling and grammar is what everyone cares about on these forums, rather than QUALITY OF WORK and EPICNESS.

I just have to say I actually did laugh at your post, grunt. I'll reduce your ban to 3 days cuz you made me laugh in a good way xD
