BattleField 2142 - L-5 Riesig

[blaar]

I want to try and make a paper model of this walker (mech). Any one know if there is such a paper model or not. Will hate to make it and then there is already one available. Already started work on a model I found at the Sketchup Warehouse and redrawn the whole model trying to lower the amount of faces used and also splitting the parts into a buildable solution. Just need to add some knee caps and then the texturing sweetshop.

Any comments ?

Looking at it I think the shoulders are a bit to wide and the machinegun barrels to short.

You also depended too much on that 2nd image for scaling, because it's kinda fish-eyed and screws up the proportions. Let me know if you need any ingame shots to help tweak the scale of things....

 

[Paragon]

Definitely looking forward to this model. The body looks like it should be a little taller though.

Narrow the shoulders and make the gun barrels a bit longer. The feet may not allow the paper model to stand, but you won't know that until you have a build.

check out this model I found in the sketchup warehouse;

Might be useful for reference!

Would love to build this, bf2142 is one of my favourite games. Been killed by these things many's the time

 

[Paragon]

I'm pretty sure that is the model he used.

 

[think-floyd]

Hehe, thanks for highlighting my obvious inability to read the initial post Paragon sign1 I think I must have just looked at the pictures and reply comments without seeing Blaar's explanation at all haha..

I can't remember if I've taken screenshots from bf2142 before, but i will certainly try to get you a few angles and detail shots if you would like Blaar. Let me know if you need any, I'll be glad to help.

I love this mech and am definitely looking forward to building a paper version. I took about a ba-jillion screenies of the "tiger" tank from that game wanting to make a paper model of it too, but never got around to it. Is there a sketchup model of it, available to work from?

 

[blaar]

Found another model in SU Warehouse, this one looks alot closer to the ingame model. Think I will change some parts to look more like this one.

(Whish I can model these things from scratch, but I suck badly at modeling things. Ah, well. Also SU Warehouse is a great source for models. There is lotsa stuff one can convert to paper.)

Can any one please post me a side , back , front and top and perhaps a 3D ingame shot of the Riesig.

I re-done the torso part and want to start texturing it now. I think it looks way better now. The barrels might be a bastich to build.

 

[Soaring]

I can get you those shots since I play the game. However, you'll have to wait till tomorrow. However, it might be difficult to get them if I'm not spectating. Since, some servers don't enable that feature.

i have the actual game mesh if it will help you. i was planning on doing it.but it would be awhile before i tackled it. i also have the texture file for it.

 

[seth crofton]

Original game mesh...mean you can export from game? if yes...how? :thumb:

 

[blaar]

I also managed to get it into 3DS Max but I have no clue how Max works nor can I aven apply the skin.........also I saw when importing there are two or three meshes over each other. I just gave up there and wimped out..........lol

@ nothing :

If yo plan to do the Riesig then please do so..........I think any 1 can do a better job than I do since I totally suck at 3D modeling. :mrgreen:

 

[Stev0]

Generally you can find 'Mod' tools. These allow you to export the 3D models from the game.

[Vortex_4200]

That is a cool looking mech.... kinda like the ED209- on steroids sign1

 

[Nothing]

what are you using to model? i can extract a single mesh and convert to 3ds with the uv s in tact. you can open it in meta and still use the uv maps.

3D Max is an expensive program. Why would you have it and not have a clue how to use it????

Just contact them and get support from online or from your local retailer where you purchased the software.
