Description
So, another addition for the Yuuzhan Vong land forces. These 10m tall creatures are covered in a heat absorbing slime. Their main role is clearing entrenched enemy positions with their powerful heavy flamethrowers.
Concept: Dark Horse Comics
Model: Seregruth
Render: Seregruth
If I may say so, these ground models do not seem to be on par with the space models. Then again I have yet to see them with a texture so that must be it.
On to the actual unit, it looks quite menacing. I'd hate to face that in battle so nice job team, you made a terrifying looking unit!
this could be caused by the fact, that the land units are created in a different way than vong spacecrafts... the ships are made from the yorik coral, asteroids and many different giant "organs". on the contrary, their land units are usually some mutated, genetically changed, overgrown animals which don´t need protection from vacuum, sun radiation or other space dangers.
so this is why they may not resemble their spaceships... imho
I meant the model compared to the model of the ships we saw only a few days ago.
It seems rather simplistic in comparison.
oh so, I try to keep the polycount as low as possible, although it´s sometimes hard since making round meshes (and organic stuff is usually round) requires more polys than mechanical tanks or ships. therefore I´m a bit limited in the meaning of adding details etc..
on the other hand, Burnt can boost it with his textures more than other GA/hutt ships. vong surface is a way more interesting than the plating of most spacecrafts. so, wait for Burnt´s textures! ;-)
Infantry aren't going to stand a chance
heat absorbing slime, that would prove quite effective as most weapons generate high amounts of heat in the starwars universe
exactly. wiki, for instance, states that it can withstand even a turbolaser blast...
This would be a nice example to point out some of the balancing ideas we are going to be establishing with the mod. The Galactic Alliance (GA) uses primarily laser type weapons. The GA have stronger armored units, but lasers do not work that great against Vong technology. The Hutt Empire, the 3rd faction for the mod which replaces the Tyber Zann Consortium uses projectile weapons such as mass drivers and missle launchers, which are very effective against the Vong armor, but weak against GA technology.
There is much strategy being planned and thought out for the mod, much more elaborate than just the new models we are making. The player will have to pick and choose which weapons are best suited for which opponent. We will share more details about this later however, but this was just a good time to share some insight on what we have planned for the mod.
Seregruth has done an amazing job with this model. This will look very menacing when animated and moving in the game.
