Here is the modified version with some tentacles hangin' low. The legs have been lengthened, and poly-reduced.


Above are the front and sides, below are the back and top.


Back up to 1473 vertices after adding the simple tentacles. Guess I should add the "human cages" to the underside rear. These should be a treat to model, and will definitely take me over my self-imposed 1500 poly limit. LOL. Lots of thin bits and intersections.

Cheers!
Mark

Looking good. I will have to give it a try as well (after seeing it in games like HL2 to UT) since Tripods are just plain fun.

I needed a break from my Ai Pathfinding code and was inspired by this post, so I have also begun creating my own take on a War of the Worlds tripod.

I've tried to base mine on the tripod to the left in the background of the image above, whilst using the main image to provide a guide for the construction of the legs.

I hope you like the early renders showing my progress yesterday, C&C welcome smile



The model weighs in at 1,670 tris without the feelers. Currently the feelers are placeholder to give me a feel for the space the model will occupy.

My target is a total tri count around the 2k mark; Of course the legs could be instanced and connected to bones, which would save some performance.

I hope to create diffuse and normal maps and will post it in the contributions thread when I am done.

@Joozey: it really does, doesn't it!

EDIT: FYI the upper head can be seperated and could be replaced with varient heads, like the film...

If you still interested.I'll wait for your reply to start to work.

Well, it's not exactly like the picture, I call it an "artists's misconception". Whipped 'er up in about 2 hours, including skinning. 867 Vertices.



Looks kinda 'spier-ish. Any good?

Cheers!
