Models

[Zenshi]

I just watched the last video. I feel that models are too complex, with unnecessary excessive details. Also, their plastic skins don't look attractive to me. Compared to Firefall... I'm kinda disappointed. My advice is: make models less cluttered and with more realistic skins. Good luck.

Hello....what do you mean by plastic? Can you post a screenshot? We use PBR materials, which are very advanced shaders. The metals look extremely realistic in engine.

i think it has to do with the colors/materials chosen being too Vibrant/shiny or something.

using the Thumper as an example, it reminds me of a car fresh off the assembly line with a thick coat of new paint. that paint makes the material on the surface look completely different than what it really is so you dont see it as metal you see it as whatever the paint was designed to make it look-be it matte, pearlescent, or metalic.

personally i like it, as it reminds me of sci-fi materials like Plasteel and such. although now that i think about what i just typed wouldn't it be awesome to offer different types of paint in game so you can change the appearance of the materials even more?

Actually the car paint look is deliberate. The frames and mechs are all supposed to be painted metal with an "build your car" type of theme.

Also remember that the game sells skins, so you'll be able to find a variety of looks.

This just gave me an idea, maybe there should be a cosmetic option to change how "used" your omniframe looks, from brand new to scars everywhere?

I know it might be a bit outside the scope of the game at this point but was just thinking it would be kinda cool if your paint job could get scratched/dinged/dulled based on time in combat or whatever damage stats are used. Like you come back from a mining job and your mech will look like its been through a warzone until you repair it, then fresh shiny new again for another round of abuse.

It's possible. Not sure we will get to that, but can look.
