Friday Update - Omniframe Tweaks Done

[Darker7]

[/spoiler]

Thanks for putting a lot of what I can only describe vaguely and with feelings into more down to earth words. Though I have to add that I really dig the hypermasculine look of the Mk. I and that's something I'm drawn to in Mech's.

I personally like the 3rd D.Va design the most, 4 and 5 are less destructive and a little chubby :Ü™

* btw, I dont think the suit needs to be bigger...like a massive trans tank. Its all ready huge, looka about 18-20 feet tall (relatively to human size). Whats important, it gives the impression that it is a mechanical exo suit to aid in all round work. An EVO with attitude !! *

This version is only half as tall you think it is, look at the cockpit. But it shouldn't look like an exosuit, it should be the cross of a mecha and an exosuit, a MEK.
Also, I'm not advocating for it to be more tank like, I want it to be bigger so it is able to be more slender to be more elegant :Ü™

 

[TheDragonMonkey]

Damn I love it

 

[bengal]

well being as its Christmas & all..... Santa Grummz can I take it out for a ride? I promise ill be careful & Ill Even fill it up. Ill through CAR WASH AS WELL! ! ! !

PLEASE

 

[Darker7]

I just remembered something about shapes and how they affect our perception of things. I'll do some research and explain my gripes with the new design more; tomorrow (because I'm just about to go to bed and it's already an hour past bedtime >.>) :Ü™

If anyone has misunderstanding

I do like the new one

There is a word called feedback, other than just compliments and not be close minded with tunnel vision and its to better the product, idk, lmao...

Anyway. ^.^ The action pic above makes it look way better, as grummz pointed out earlier the flaws in his own post, the posture didnt give it justice in anyway.
Main points are, the belly area. the roll-cage is not appealing, and too thick/fat? you can see where the pilot arms/hands go but as im trying to point out

Also this is the medium frame. You can expect more bulk in heavy and slimmer versions in light when the game ships.
- Grummz

there's quite a lot of space in front of the pilot without the Enclosed Mode. (compared to the other 2)
Maybe not reduce the entire front, but could reduce the waist area in the new design, I'll use the other 2 concepts as example:

I think we should embrace the concept of "good enough" and keep going with it.
Because you can't satisfy anyone, and it's pointless anyway.
Listening to people is good. Listening too much, isn't so.

We are satisfied, but its better pointing out potential flaws now than revising 4 months later.

The engine pods are still prominent. You are just seeing it from a "below" angle so you don't see them. The wings are also promiment. Once we add the "hunched" pose I believe the look will improve for you.

I have 2 very important questions..... are there any Hard driver mode pics available? and when do we get to see it striking a pose?

I agree on the cage, there's plenty of room inside the cage that the pilot would get thrown around inside if there aren't any seat belts.

So I found a short introduction on shapes in character design:

Though I'm too deep into my morning-sloth to breakdown the different Omniframe designs into its shapes (rn) >.> :Ü™

This has given me more things to think about and seeing it in a different way!

 

[Ufftack]

Changes look great! The only thing that I would add are some safety straps for the pilot as mention above so that the pilot doesn't look like they can get beat around like a pin ball.

 

[W.cheff]

Now this redesign I like, Gives me a good evangelion vibe.

An action shot by Tommaso as a gift to you all

Do you reckon a widescreen 1920x1200 version for desktop wallpapers could be conjured up?

Click your fingers and create a small piece of possible lore. How about "inertial containment engines", designed to "shield pilots from excessive inertial forces otherwise experienced during pilot duties."

It could even be a re-searchable upgrade to the frames.

This is the least of all problems.

BOX OF CIGARS.
EXTRA PAIRS OF SHADES.
SMELLY TREE THING TO COVER UP MY MONTH LONG OF BATTLES WITHOUT SHOWER.

DO I NEED MORE SPACES?
OH RIGHT. THIS BOX OF TNT NEED TO FIT IN TOO.

looks better. but a seat? for an exo? meh.

 

[Pandagnome]

what if the mech pilot had something like this standing or seated depending if it was resting could be neat to see when it is transparent and see the pilot move inside with the energy shield around them.

or something like this that levitates the pilot so it doesn't have contact with the mech inside due to its specialized suit.
which is controlled by the magnets and sensors this is used for the movement of the pilot and seeing holographic information at random appearing around the pilot as if the pilot is using the motion and gestures which translates to the mech's specific moves.

 

[Djepetto]

Muuuuch better. Every since i seen the first frames I kept my mouth shut.(not only because I feel my opinion doesn't matter in an epic game like this) I absolutely haaaated the legs of the frames. They seemed too short or the arms seemed too long...but look at this work of art...I absolutely love it. Now these are looking like War Machines! I'M READY TO SUIT UP!!!!

 

[Terib.Shadow]

I'm late to the party but I still have to say how I feel about the changes, I would have said it's perfect if it wasn't for that :
These 2 metallic parts for the front, ugly as a nurgling, seriously. And i don't see it helping much in anything, i'm certain to play in hard driver mode if this thing is still there in game, which I didn't want to do before. I also think it removes one of the charms the original MK1 omniframe in non-hard driver mode had, some might know what I mean.

afaik that solenoid ride was developed from the magnetic suspension for cars:

(the reason its not videly used is a prohibitive weight penalty and a complete revisement of car building)

investigating for useable videos I came accross the information that it's not build by bose anymore.
