Greetings!
Today I was finally able to finish the texturing of the KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armor, that I started working on back in August this year. There may be some minor spots to do here and there but the overall layout and coloration should be more or less final. This model was originally made by mauritos and I have reworked it and did the finishing. The color scheme was derived from here: Forgeworld.co.uk'unar-Supremacy-Armour
It currently has about 30K of polygons and shall finally finish the line of legitimate Tau titans once and for all. It's purpose is to establish fearsome late game firepower for the Tau empire. This bad boy should arrive in v1.9.
Have a nice day!
Very good job, I am not a fan of those octagonal and hexagonal patterns used on some models in the mod but its much more toned down then it is in the case of phantom titan for example and fills up that area quite well while saving some polygons on model. Cant wait to see it ingame.
Aren't those patterns very iconic of the T'au? Making them more than fitted?
Yes,they are.
You can't create any serious looking technology without using hexagons or 45° wedges. It just works.
Calm down Todd Howard
*fix bayonet intensifies*
This suit makes me think of the Supreme Commander games. haha
The UEF vibes are undeniable, I agree. Not the worst source of resemblance tho.
Only real worry is if it'll look out of place compared to other models.
DAT ONE SHINY DAKKKA!!!!
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
NANOMACHINES, SON.
Time to enjoy this sexy beautiful and hot battle suit! <3
Can we get imperial knights haha
Maybeeee. ;)
As much as I would love Imperial (and Chaos) Knights and some variants, I think the models for the Warlord titan and the other one that is also quite old should be updated.
oh yes pls, KNIGHTS ! <3 i bought one not so long ago and i want one on my UA too
I love the Tau. They bring the shiniest targets. Captain! Ready the Shadowsword.
Will it have access to it's other weapon options, like fusion eradicators?
What you see is what you get. However the stuff we have now will be made extra pretty and awesome.
No big deal. The model is absolutely stunning as it is and i would expect nothing less from you.
I AM HERE!!! CLICK ME!!!
First thing I do when I enter work is check the page and am greeted to this beauty
Looks awesome and shiny :)
OMG i been dreaming of this
IT'S HAPPENING.
OMG... Is it posible?
Model wise?
Yeah.
Juggernaut reporting! *Pecks at seed and scratches ear*
Omg can the terrain texture of the game be improved????😱
Yeah but not at this quality unfortunately.
That one is just a nice render.
But the model still looks as sexy in game. ;)
This has me slack jawed. Amazing work.
This is... I feel like the words amazing, jawdropping, phenomenal don't do this justice. I literally opened up the model on forgeworld and I can honestly say that this captures the unit completely. No AAA development studio can do any better than what I'm seeing right now, from the subtle wear and tear that comes with heavy combat, down to the bits of detritus on its feet that show its been moving through real terrain- all of it captured down to minute details! THIS is why I love the UA team, THIS is why its worth the wait. Its the detail that you can see from true fans, its the loving creation that only comes from passion projects!
Sorry for the essay, but I felt inspired, you guys truly do amazing work and you deserve all the praise.
Pity I do not get essays as well. I guess this is why Cosmocrat tells me to make renders as well and do not take screenshots from the army painter. :P
jk
Everyone in the team thanks you and all for your support! <3
I love them essays, they warm my heart! They're the oil on my gears, keep em comin' bois!
Kekoulis I feel offended now, I do complement your work you fiend!
The poor poor game engine. Still nice job!
Again,what you see is a render made externally.Not from DOW.
In game,while is much less shiny(still very sexy though),the engine will have no issue to render it.
Actually,the engine has a bigger problem rendering niche and fancy,too complicated FXes than bigger models,especially if the 4gb patch(LAA) is applied.
I was just joking :D
Curious: why does the engine have bigger problem if 4gb patch is applied? Is it due to the fact that simply more memory needs to be managed?
The engine was never made for the levels of madness that is UA. Add on top of this that it is being unable to fully utilize modern day hardware, you have the recipe for a very delicious crashsoup; not for everyone's taste though because it's spicy.
Hi this one looks georgeous ,but its any chance to add ghostkeel as well ? like big stealth suit with pair of drones
It is being worked on/considered. ;)
oh thanks at least for that . it would be nice addition
I hope it's not as shiny in-game. Nothing against it, but feel like it would be really out of place is all.
Again,it is just a render.It is not as shiny ingame.Read above.
Aye, raytracing, reflections and post processing bloom effects. Make it looks shinier then in the actual game. It's still pretty tho.
This can't be real. Omg it looks so good, the amount of detail is just amazing!
Is this already included in the newest pat h pf UA?
1.9
are these already in game?
Yes.
