Description
Welcome to the team, DOG-GY!
HOLY DOGSHIT! will they be seen carrying spears? Also how tall are they compared to the player + humans?
no, they'll be carrying two amazing guns that we'll show soon. one of them is the one we requested you guys to choose the design.
may be you can use Combine guard cannon from hl2 beta?
no. as said above, one of them is the one we requested you guys to choose the design. we'll make our own guns and we already have them planned.
(buried)
But can you have SOME of them with the Combine Guard gun?
Thats what the combine gaurd is for...
Id Say, They Would Be Atleast 3ft higher than the player
Awesome! Didn't think I'd see that, I was always interested in it's concept. But the arms, legs and tone seem odd.
Images.wikia.com
should it a more menacing look?
it's our own redesign of the synth, plus you'll meet many of them, so they have to look like common enemies, not bosses.
but they're already pretty damn menacing since they're like 2,7 meters tall.
It won't look exactly as the original references, that's because we're doing some changes or redesigning it.
It happened to most models we "recreated"
This is amazing guys, I'm really liking your work! I'd like to see some kind of remainder of the Combine Guard in this mod, but this comes very close!
i ant get used to the hands there not Combiney and they dont fit with model or texture i just cant get used to them
the hands were re-made by the combine so they could handle human guns in extreme situations. it's a prototype soldier, after all. it ain't made to be fancy.
So is it a human Synth, or some sort of enslaved creature? The Combine Guard I remember had a creepy human face in the armor. Are you gonna do something similar?
we are thinking of something like that but we can't really tell you guys.
I don't like the combine metal and it wouldn't really work well with the color scheme which was very well established anyways.
I think the armor pieces might look cool with the glossy combine gunmetal that all of their stuff is made out of. Give it a more threataning look, and make it look more like a combine creation.
aweeeesssooommme
repeat??
can you make an intergrated combine gun (gun stick to the hand)
and that big arm has a shield/bayonet to melee the player when they get too close?
we've already planned what weapons it will use.
I'll have nightmares with it XD - Awsome!!!
(buried)
Ehhh... Don't like it at all.
Make something better then.
HELL YES! i always wanted to see this in-game!
It's really better than the version you showed to me. Will it has custom sounds or glowing eyes?
All non-Hl2 Npcs will have custom sounds, so yes.
Nice work, guys.
Yea similar like combine guard from HL2 beta :P
btw its awesome ^_^
Sadly, since the Geth of Mass Effect, I am kind of unconcerned regarding synthetic bipedal human-like designs. Those blew hard.
Robotic arm looks kinda tooney. I suggest more organic compenents to compensate.
Maybe some crab looking armor hunks on it, but not as big as the other, of course.
Also, the armpit should have a visible joint because it otherwise implies its armor is a fleshy mass instead of synthetic chitinous armor.
The 'hips' bother me, but I think they could only be fixed by deleting and starting over so as to not make them look like a mass of magic spaghetti. Everything else is perfect.
Also, that comment about the geth, why even post if you're not going to say anything pertinent at all? How does that help this project, why does it matter in judging this creation?
Not changing the spaghetti noodles they look awesome.
Looks like a robotic L4D2 Charger.
Actually now that I noticed it, the hands are quite weird. Maybe add robotic claws instead?
A few bits of the blue Combine metal armor won't hurt on it's shoulders and other areas. Maybe those areas can deflect some damage if shot there?
Claws? The robot is going to use weapons, not melee/fighting.
I kinda put that the wrong way, I meant claws as in just elongated/sharpened fingers.
If you had elongated fingers you could still hold a gun.
That's epic! You could make one of its legs normal or with growing organic material instead of 2 metal legs, just to look a bit different...
ha superb you should equipt them with arm cannons that fire plasma rounds and can switch to a missle launcher that would be epic but i cant wait to see these"guns"
Gotta say, the hands look weird. Can we go with three fingers with a smaller hand?
the thumb is odd yes but it's staying 4 fingered
excellent
Awesome to the max. The hands could use some more of a combine look, with some unnecessary joints and maybe some pointyness. They look more man-made now.
Maybe if you made em like skeletal hands? with just the palm "bones" reaching the fingers from the wrist. And the stronger hand's wrist seems a bit frail to handle heavy weaponry? Otherwise it looks like Valve made it.
im tempted to make a joke about the left arm...
Looking foward to it :D
HOLY CRAP BETA CONSEPT ART MADE EPIC. gabe newell would see this and **** his pants
Wasnt this only beta concept, TURNED REAL!!!!
Try working on the hand, torso, and feet, other than that it looks great
that reminds me of the aliens from the first final fantasy movie
Reminds me of the L4D2 charger.
Looks neat like a robot slave soldier that can withstand fire attacks
HOLY MEAT ****! his left arm is ******* cyborg or a terminator arm maybe
:O warn the proletariat, this monster has been unleashes upon them. Well done!
