don't make it power armor rather an protection envoroment suit, wat else you need when fighting in a radiated envoroment.

I'd love to see a Tactics-like Environment Suit, I'd bet you could go to town with that.

Your power armor does look really good, on par if not surpassing Bethesda models.

And I agree that if you want to do outfits next, http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=964734&hl=patriot would actually be amazing. Merc Patriot Outfit ftw ^_^

If anyone makes Fallout Tactics Power Armor or Environmental Armor, I want it to be you. pls.

People need to stop posting in this thread, everytime I see it at the top of the list I think it has been released and get excited..
lol.

I think that's just natural. I'm sure it'll be released soon. I hope.

I have an Idea. I want to model more stuff, so what I'm going to do is contintue work on this model and the textures but on the side I will also model some extra stuff too. 2 which come to mind are the the mercury power armor and this other armor which was suggested over on nexus and I pretty much fell in love with the design the first time I saw it : D http://www.nightmarearmorstudios.com/portfolio_nightmare.htm. I will however leave them open for other people to come in and texture, and once they have been textured I will then Rig the model and post them for final release. I would obviously provide credits in the description and read me files to the people who did the textures. I just feel like I'm only working on one model these days when I should be working on more, and now I've moved onto the UV mapping I'm not making any models at all. plus the modeling practise would be good : D

mini update on the model.

Started to UV map, heres what I've got so far.

not much but its progress at least. I also added more details to the concept when looking at the origional concept image and Its really starting to shine now.

are you going to make it power armor or not.

erm wut? What else should it be, lol.

nah, I decided to make it sixy sleep wear : D lol. yeah it will be power armor.

Easy enough to open the plugin in geck and uncheck one box if you don't like it to be. :shrug:

that's true

I'm definately interested in texturing those, especially the one from nexus which looks fantastic! I can't promise results on it but it seems like a great learning experience for me, I need to get better at working with advanced textures

Looking forward to seeing what you can do with those designs, the lancer armor looks fantastic in the concept shot

ok I now want opinions, one part of the armor has allways bothered me. the big metal plate infront of the groin, I went into photoshop and painted over it to see what else I could put there.

which do people prefere?

Metal plate http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/tyokio/conceptcopy-1.jpg

No metal plate http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/tyokio/nondong.jpg

No metal plate.

Looking great so far btw.

no metal plate otherwise it looks like a....nevermind.

I think the "nondong" looks better... though mostly because of the extra stuff off the to sides.

I don't really mind the metal plate. I mean, I'd want my personals to be well protected if I'm being lit on fire, blown up with rocket launchers, and then shot at by miniguns as my body flies through the air.
But... One without the plate looks kind of nice.

I'unno.
'It's your mod; do what you want with it!'
:)

why not release both?

because I'd then have to rig the same model twice.

the "no metal" plate looks definitly better, the other one looks a bit off.

no metal plate, keep up the good work :goodjob:

no metal plating it is then : D

i love democracy.

democracy is the worst form of government. besides all the others.
