So I did some thinking and figured the Crab Spider should use a panoramic display for a full 360 degree field of view with augmented reality systems over laid on that view. So I made this (The full res version is about 20 megs. if you want to view that I recommend downloading it, it's linked through this reduced res image).
Basically the screen is separated into 5 sections, though I couldn't properly produce this in a 2D environment so I made what you see there.
Basically the middle section, the lower half of the height is the forward view with the active screen, in this case the Weapons and Combat system. This included targeting information, Weapon selection, target coordinations and Target information. As you can see, the crab spider is presently targeting the Longbow Eagle, but he's maintaining secondary target locks on three other Longbow as well in preparation for multi-fire attack.
Like my original concept the weapon selector expands out to what you see there and functions like a wheel cycling to select different weapon settings. When the setting is selected, the wheel retracts back into the corner.
The right most section is the support system/Team status window. I wanted to add more, but I think what is there gets the idea across. This screen allows the Crab Spider to select and access his support systems, whatever they may be.
The left most screen is the Navigation and environmental screen. This contains the map and radar displays. Both of these systems combine to present the image you see where the field of view is displayed through the bright red triangular area. The blue areas represent visual dead zones. Areas that the Crab spider can not see.
The Compass cycles around the top of the screen and displays the current heading as a bearing off of North of south, as shown in the display, the crab spider is presently facing 67.9 degrees off of north meaning he is facing north east.
To upper middle portion of the image is... well... the top view. If the Crab spider were to look upward.
All of these screens can be rotated to the front for whatever situation is present at the time. Meaning the Navigation screen can be on the front should the Crab Spider require it.
So... thoughts? -

Personally, I'd be super irritated that my "weapons systems" block so much of my view... Those weapons displays take up way too much screen real estate.
And this may be a preferential thing, but I think your choice of font is too... um... normal... I almost want it to be one of those (almost) unreadable "high-tech" fonts that look all futuristic.
like so:

So I'm working on the next issue for my comic Legacy of Sin, and in it there's a scene where the Crab Spider character is thrown into a wall and his helmet is damaged screwing up his targeting system. Well I started thinking about how to show that and I figured the best way was to do a POV shot from the crab spiders's perspective which then got me thinking just what would it look like? So I started dabbling and tinkering with a screen shot.
Well, here's what I came up with:
Here's my thinking behind the lay out of it.
All of it's controlled through a neural link. Along the top of the view you have the main menu. In this case the "weapon systems" tab is selected, hence it being red. That expands the weapons selection menu from the upper left corner of the screen which functions as a wheel. A combination of Eye motion tracking, voice command and neural connection spins the wheel to the intended weapon, in this case it's the entire armature array, what I've got labeled as a Phased Plasma Particle Projection Array in the image. The system that is just selected, it's icon would be displayed at 125% normal size, that's why the image of the array in the image appears so much larger the Particle Project image below it. Once the weapon is selected the selection wheel resends into the corner of the screen (or rather around to the side of the view since this would actually be a panoramic view from inside the helmet.
The lower left corner of the display show system read outs, mostly stuff like fuel and reservoirs of needed fluids, kinda like the gas and engine temp gauges in your car, just a few more of 'em.
The lower right corner is more detailed targeting information showing location info mostly relative on a 3-axis grid. I think the rest is pretty self explanatory.
So, what do you think? Is there something else that should be there? Something displayed differently? What would you expect to see?
Any Apache Pilots around by chance? What do those have displayed on their HUD? F-16s maybe? A-10? -

The thing that grabs me most is the flatness of the whole thing contrasted by the depth of the rivets over the mouthpiece. I would look at some shading tutorials. CR will probably help you with that.
I think you did a really good job with the textures and using it to apply a "used" look to the helmet. As you get the shading going don't forget to keep the textures in line with the curves of the helmet. -

Just in case I'm being too subtle: That's really freaking awesome! -
So I started with one idea, and whatever that original idea was I have no idea. It's long gone now. But somewhere I started working on a piece of line of Positron's head. Well his helmet anyway. Anyway. I started experimenting with textures and blending effects. I've never had formal training in art and never pursued any. I've read a couple tutorials out of curiosity or out of need to complete and effect I was trying for, but that's about the extent of my photoshop training and indeed any artistic training what so ever. But I figured I'd post it up and get some feed back. Basically I was trying for a bit of battle damage. Like parts of the helmet had been damaged while other parts have been replaced due to prior damage. Hence by the scar passed under the visor as opposed to through it. Anyway, what do you all think? Any suggestions or advice are welcome of course.

Here are my thoughts on the premier: Warning!!!!! SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!

::::::: Begin spoilers :::::
I like the way the history of thundera is presented in a way that it could almost be the original series' events. A very nice touch.
I about fell out of my chair laughing when Clawdous said “I never negated my duties as prince” I was so about to scream “BULL **** YOU DIDN’T LIONO!” But then I remembered this isn’t Liono. This is Clawdous. Maybe they were going for that piece of irony? Nice touch if they were.
I like how Liono is ambitious and more then a little rogue but not simply "I'll do everything my father doesn't"
Tygra's arrogance... I donno. I'll have to let that one stew a bit. I’m a little confused about his relation to Liono though. He calls Liono brother and Clawdous, Father but Grune specifically says that Tygra is not of royal blood line. Adoptive brother perhaps? Ceremonial brother in arms maybe?
I LIKE Wily Kit and Kat. I mean I really like the whole thief aspect of them. I think that works so perfectly with their original characterizations.
Cheetara... I donno. There's more going on with her then they've said. I'll have to wait and see what happens with her. Possible Love interest for Liono down the line? The fact that she and Jaaga are Cleric, and thus sorcery users again seems to help round the original characters. Cheetara always had this…. Extraness about her and the fact that she uses magic helps explain it a little.
I actually like the whole no-technology angle. It helps explain why the thundercats used melee weapons versus later weapons and the like.
I like the fact that they had Grune actually involved in the fall of the Thunderian empire. It helps solidify character a bit. I’m willing to better that he’ll be a recurring character in the series.
The fact that Clawdous and Panthro were old friends helps explain the more fatherly approach he had to Liono in the original series.
I admit, I was a bit irked with Snarf being just a pet, but over all I think it works. I mean I practically had a great dane for a nanny when I a child.
Mumm-ra… I’ll have to see where they go with the character and what do with it. I was expecting something more akin to the Emperor from Star Wars. Decrypted and frail looking most of the time. But when needed, he transformes into the Everliving form and just super-bad-***. Now maybe that will still happen. We didn’t get to see it in the premier. He got cut off by the rising sun.
Over all thoughts based on the premier: I’m interested in it. I want to see where they go with it. -
A little over a month ago I released the promo issue for a Fan-produced comic series under the title of City of Heroes: A Legacy of Sin. I had intended to have the proper issue 1 completed and released this month, but it seems my ambitions have out stripped my abilities and I was not able to complete issue 1 in time. In stead, I have completed a one-shot lead in comic introducing a new character that will appear down the line in the main Legacy of Sin series. I hope you enjoy City of Heroes: A Legacy of Sin. Cross-Line: Rogue Agent!
As always, comments and critique are welcome and encouraged. -

I am trying to have a character getting up off the ground. The ground under has been smashed like that one super strength power where you kick/punch the ground.
I can't seem to get the effect to be there without the power. I tried putting a puddle there to do the mov but it didnt work.
Any idea how I can make it work? -

yeah, it's more then a little disturbing the stuff you tend to over look when you stare at code for 19 hours straight. Thanks for the help Sam. -
Okay, I know I'm missing something really simple here. I'm coding a demo. I've got the camera where I want it, facing the direction I want it. I need to code the rikti to come up from Torroes' left, and point toward torroes. But I can't get the bleeping Rikti to show up. From what I can tell I've got the possitioning correct, and I've got the NPC modeling set up correctly. But the Rikti is not showing up. Can anyone see what the problem is?

Bah that's not excuse Residentx. I live in Virginia and I'm going to try and make it.
On that note anyone wanna split hotel costs? -
Quote:um... isn't that what 'caught in a flame thrower attack' would infer? I mean if I take a flame thrower and shoot it at you, you're set on fire, or at very least sprayed with burning chemicals. Either way, the fire would be on you and you would be the center of it.Originally Posted by airhead
Unless he was on fire, I don't quite see why the flame originates at him. If he was on fire, I'd expect the flames to be blasted more omnidirectionally. He must have stepped on a fire to get where he is now. More background flames might better associate fire with the terrain.

like this?

P.S. My first guess upon seeing the earlier image was that he had just unleashed the Autobot Matrix of Leadership (33 seconds in) while standing in a campfire.

Yes it works okay. What would help sell it better for me would be, now that you reduced the sphere of the handclap, have the fire reacting to the leading edge of the blast. i.e. the fire in the lower right should come up a bit from the ground and then bend down and away from the hero in a cascading arc where it meets the trailing edge of the outgoing clap fx.
Another thing that would help is seeing the stream of fire coming from the flamethrower (presumably) offscreen. That would help depict it as an attack on him rather than him being the source of the flames (like he activated Hot Feet or something)
Well the flame thrower spewing the flame occurs in a different frame, plus I'm going to try for more of a close up in the final version. So you wouldn't actually see the flame thrower itself. Regardless, how does this work?

okay I'm feeling somewhat better about the second image given the responses I've gotten.
The idea is the character is caught in a flame thrower attack and he uses a hand clap to snuff out the flames.
Now, knowing what I'm shooting for, does the image work in that regard? If not, why? What would you need to see in the image, or in a previous panel to support what I'm attempting to convey? -

hmm there's a thought for a new power in Fire Melee. -

My second guess would be he just put on a Green Lantern ring... But I just came back from seeing that so I'm probably just a bit biased because of that at the moment.
*sigh* and this is what I get for asking this a week after the release of the Green lantern Movie....
Anyway, not saying if anyone was right or wrong. But same question, reworked image.
