<div class="IPBDescription">in progress... need help with armor</div> Girls+guns+cool poses that cut off the face=rarness

I just need help with the armor. The screenshots of the models in the site aren't really helping. Especially the yellow thing in the middle of the chest plate. Is that a flashlight? If so, WTH is a flashlight doing there? And pointed downwards? O_o

Hell, pretty much all of the armor, except for the chest plate is giving me trouble. ^_^ help?

    Make it still out a bit, because of bewbs? But yeah, it's a light. What're you using, PhotoShop?

    To get a good look at the LA marine get a model viewer and open the soldier.mdl. You can find it in the 'player' subfolder of the nsp/model folder. I reccomend <a href='http://www.wunderboy.org/3d_games/utils/hlmv.php' target='_blank'>Jedd's HLMV.</a>

    This will let you see a 3-d view of the model in virtually any pose from any angle.

    I like it a lot. Marine armor features a lot of yellow though.

    She at the moment looks like a prepubescent boy.

    It's rather light.

    Dragon mech left the most useful comment. If you download HLMV it would be oh so much easier for you to draw the armor. Although, since it's not the highest quality model in the world the armor is open to a wide range of interpretation. Does this piece come out? Is that thing part of the armor? What the bugger hell is that square thing?

    Personally I think the armor is more geometric and not rounded so much, that's my own interpretation.

    Ignore Kida, that is a very good drawing. The blurry paints even make it look better. Plus if you made her more endowed she'd have some sex appeal and become an object instead of a marine.

    Oh and I think the flashlight on the chest is sposed to illuminate where the marine is walking. Then again it may be a gimmick, something put on by designers to make it look better. I draw lots of gimmicks and lack any real functionality.

    Woot my boyfriend's got HLMV, so I'll go rip that from him.

    I was torn between functionality and sex appeal. It would be more realistic if the chestplate didn't conform to her breasts, like kevlar vests. It's merely a shell. But then, this is a game that's dominated by guys, and sex sells, or atleast grabs attention. So boobs boobs boobs.

    So I guess I'll lean over to the sex appeal. I'll post it when I'm done later. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Here is a <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49099' target='_blank'>Marine Model</a> found at customization forums. It goes sex appeal over function a little but still is nice.


    One of the later renders from the thread.

    yeah its all about the breasts...(well, they are nice)
    However, wouldnt it be more confortable for her that way? i mean, if i was a girl i would say that i wanted them confi when fighting aliens all day.

    dunno, gotta make som girlfriend try ware armor sometime.

    I think a woman marine would be wearing a sports bra of sorts when she's in uniform, so a conforming metal chestplate wouldn't be totally necessary but only for aesthetics and being able to tell between a male and female uniform. :>

    Again, look at kevlar vests. Hardly conforming at all, and it has the basic function as the marine's chest plate.
  • WindelkronWindelkron Join Date: 2002-04-11 Member: 419Members
    I think you should leave the chest the way it is, dont make it anymore "endowed." we should finally have a marine thats not a bimbo.

    it's a very good drawing, and the armor looks pretty good (ie finished quality) already.

    Just a thought... lmgs are two handed guns. That girl must be uber strong! I'd suggest a grenade instead.

    ...
    ...... What the--?

    Ballisto... i have to tell you something... it might hurt you, and others. A woman isnt just a all-day-long masturbating sex-junkie. However if it was as a camo idea... then well?:

    "Female Marine: Come over here i need to show you something"

    "Targeted-for-up-blowing Marine: uhm isnt that a grenade in your hand?"

    "Female Marine: erh... no, nonono it isnt, its a... mm..."

    Then it could be camoflauged as a "womans friend" (think of the children on the forum) for a purpose... offtopicing here? sorry

    I'll let the dildo comment slide, although I heard them called tampons instead of dildos.

    But as for the LMG comment:
    An LMG is more striking than a grenade, but not as far-reaching as an HMG or GL in holding one-handed. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    depends on how bored and motivated I am. To complete this one, it should take another 1-2 hours if I'm not distracted. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
