@Shemsu any chance of a simple variation. If I remember (at least from Jeff Wayne's version) correctly, the Martians are supposed to be as large as a bear. If that is so, any chance of a version twice the height of the ones you already have made?

I think that martians were shorter than humans in the 50s movie, But there is a long time since I watched the movie. Also I have use this picture as a reference for their size:




However I could try to make a biger version if you wish so....

Jeff Wayne's martians are a different thing from the 50s movie one

 

They're probably more like the traditional depiction, either the lumpy octo-brainthings or the Japanese octopusish thing

I beleive Jeff Wayne actually drew on the book as his musical version is set in Victorian/Edwardian England. Herbert George Wells actually wrote it as a commentary on the British Empire (more specifically India).

[Legacy_PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

               

And now, from the glory days of shiny 1950s Pulp Science Fiction - when three-hundred ton Rocketships could land on their pathetically thin stabilizer fins without instantly crumpling them into scrap metal, the Shabby Hyena Idiot brings you...

Continuing his perceived trend of creating Completely Useless CC for NWN that's of absolutely no use whatsoever to anybody at all, PLUSH HYENA of DOOM of the FUTURE brings you the Astounding Wonder of Thrilling Marvel of the Amazing Startling Big Daft Rocketship of Heinous Unrealisticness!

How was it that these fully functional intergalactic craft could be easily manufactured by any old absent-minded boffin in his garden shed, aided only by his ludicrously busty daughter, Fido the Dog and Flash Daring, the square-jawed, rugged hero who would unfailingly blunder into the matter inadvertently just as Professor Mental is testing the rocket engines... and everyone's away to thrilling adventure and gripping exploits on Loonyworld before returning safely back to Normalton, Earth... instead of just exploding instantly on take off, which would seem the more likely occurrence.

Especially when the damn fool designer puts the entry hatch directly between the Megatronic Ultramatic Engines (of Doom) in blatant contravention of innumerable health and safety protocols that obviously just aren't observed in the garden sheds of the future...

Incidentally, not only do those engine outlets glow, the fiery mass stuffed pointlessly up them actually wobbles by way of the not at all amazing super science marvel of slapping the old BioWare lava texture from the Dungeon Tileset on them... so don't blame me if you're using some bizarre lava override on the Dungeon and the Rocketship explodes in a startling thrilling futuristic explodomatic whassname thing.

(PS:- Sorry; I just thought of stupid rocketships and thus instantly had to build one... Gigantic Martian Tripod Death Machines are still on the way!)

That skybox is pretty good too... Does it come included in the rocketship crate ?

@PHOD Re. Alien. The Nostromo is available in 3ds format on the Celestia Motherload as part of the Alien Universe download if you are interested.

You know there is one thing that hasn't been mentioned as regards this month's challenge. In fact this omission leaves me puzzled. Is no one going to make a placeable UFO/flying saucer?

Tarot:- Surely you jest? I already did the Nostromo, more or less. It's in my second gigantic ALIEN Hak on the Vault... and I already did a whacking great UFO Flying Saucer thing in amongst all that Futuristic Sci-Fi drivel I piled on the Vault before I left for remote, uncharted forests...

Rubbish Evidence of previous UFOs and Nostromo activities... (See whatever pages they were on - I forget -  of the PHoD Things and ALIEN threads if you don't believe me...

(PS:- If I remember correctly from when I looked it over a year or two back, most of the stuff on Celestia is way too high-poly for NWN - unfortunately!

CaveGnome:- I already did the Skyboxes... Oh... Damn, no, you're right - I haven't already put them on the Vault... But have no fear, they are currently being stuffed into an enormous crate of floaty, airy things marked "PHoD Weirdo Skyboxes" and will be on the Vault VERY SOON.

@PHOD RE. Nostromo - My bad I didn't realise that the tug part on its own was the Nostromo. I thought that whole mining complex thing was called that.

RE. Flying saucers. Yours are obviously flying. I was thinking more of ones that have landed. Also, good as yours are, there's other designs of UFO (like the Gerry Anderson ones and the close encounters craft for example).

 

@rjshae Or any 1950's/1960's robot for that matter...

MARTIAN TRIPODS of DOOOOOM!

Results so far... Mars 50,000 - Earth 0...

The basic WotW Fighting Machine is mostly now finished. A few glitches still need hitting with bricks... One good thing about a Martian Invasion is all the debris they leave lying about; just look at all those big bricks I can gather up and hit things with!

You'll get the Placeable version, I can guarantee that, but the Creature version is still leaning toward being clinically rubbish in the general area of the completely new animations I'm poking with a sharp stick from a safe distance. It just about walks. Sort of. But it looks heinously uncoordinated. The conjure node for spell effects, etc, is positioned correctly now so that it fires nasty things from the Heat Ray Generator impressively. The actual "muzzle" of the Heat Ray glows but I removed the Emitter I placed there because it looked like a rubbish Nuclear Satsuma...

And here's the Heat Ray Generator, from a near Martian perspective more than a hundred feet in the air...

However, should anyone survive the Heat Ray long enough to run up and kick the Tripod in the foot - the only part they'll be able to reach - the whole Machine freezes and then jumps up and down on the spot with ludicrous velocity, which puzzles me as I didn't think I'd actually given it any melee key frames at all yet let alone instructed it to leap about like a depraved marsupial... But then I'm useless at new animations. (The Tentacles remain danglymesh in the Placeable version anyway, so they waft about a bit in high winds to give some fractional semblance of life).

And speaking of the Tripods' tri-lobed feet (for better balance on uneven ground, I thought they'd need something variable) here's one up close... Yes, these Martian War Machines are BIG.

Ooh, look, more bricks...

Naturally, as always, I suddenly find I've got much less time this month than I thought I'd have. With blistering optimism, I started the Martian Cylinder as a Tile Group addition to the Rural, featuring a 5x4 sunken crater pit into which you can descend, with the Cylinder half buried in it and lots of spoil heaps by which to climb in and out. I don't think I'm going to have time to complete that this month - rrrrrgghh - though I may do a hasty Placeable Cylinder stuck in a pile of mud or something...

I have motly finished crawlers and spiders from evolution mobile game.

Screenshosts are comming soon

Also i wil try to do some bommers and Reticulans and Transgenants.

Just a little question, Transgenants are dead earth creatures reanimated and hideously mutated with alien spores does they count?

Links for game pages Aftermath, Aftershock, Afterlight

Storyline in the aftershock gets really hilarius in second half of the game with the Church of universal love and something best called giant horny space walnuts.

It really seems like the writers were on drugs.

 

PS: as i look at them they can be easily used as underdark creeps too. Spiders mouth and Sliders Tooth are annimated.
