Big Update

[grenadier]

were you thinking of doing the modern heavy-armored version of them as well

As soon as I find out what comic that came from.  I want to know what it can do before I do anything.

According to the All New Iron Manual Handbook (where I got the picture from) it's the same as the standard Guardsmen armor (flight, combat computers, exoskeleton strength enhancement, life support) but had much heavier reinforced armor and the standard palm repulsors were replaced with heavy caliber energy rifles that fully replaced each forearm. They were first used to guard The Vault in the Negative Zone and most often seen standing guard near Initiative jump gates after the Civil War (and I swore they had actual combat during Secret Invasion when Skrulls were attacking the Initative bases) and recently were seen in the background of Thunderbolts current prison base. I'll see if I can get you exact issues they appeared in but that should give you a good start.

Gren continues to prove that he's the IRON MAN of Freedom Reborn.



All pun intended.

He gets my vote!

[WyldFyre]

He gets my vote!

Mine too!  Great looking stuff as always Gren.

[naitvalis]

I also updated the latest Thor with new animations, shorter and remapped hammer, and also has hands.
Enjoy.

Dude you're too much.   

[grenadier]

Okay, thanks to Outcast who found some quirks in the Guardsman animation.  They've been corrected and so if you re-download you should get the fixed version.  Thanks again Outcast.

[Outcast]

No no no no no...

It is I who should thank you, Gren.

Enjoying the new Guardsman mesh right now. Thanks!

[grenadier]

Darn it, I just looked into the Electra Mesh.  I have 9 versions of it.  I complied version 8 and deleted 9.  In adversity you can find some new ways to do things.  I found some new keyframe tricks that allowed  me to redo version 9 sai animations.  Anyway, it seems fixed  , any quirks that anyone finds.  Let me know.  Thanks Billcasanova.


At some point, I'm going to need a QC person, my off and on focusing is slowing me down.  Any takers, I only need one.

[bearded]

your quality is beyond anything i am capable of, or i would offer to help you in any way you want.
you are my hero.

[grenadier]

I just need another viewpoint since my vision goes up and down with my blood pressure which stresses my eyes occasionally.  It makes hard to see my laptop for all the fine details at times. 
That's cool bearded, if you ever want to do a joint project together, just give me a PM.

[Blkcasanova247]

Hey man you know if you need anything...I'm your "huckleberry"...us Champs gotta stick together.

[ghazkul]

Magnificent work as ever with your Iron Man!! The "Modern Armour" has never looked so good! Are you planning on doing the new "liquid metal/extremis" armour?  It may not seem like much of a challange, but it as some cool features like formig guns out of its hands and shields etc.

Just realised how much like the Blue Beetle the new armour is....

I did the Bleeding Edge...you'll be able to get him soon-ish.

Great skin, I was planning on making a mesh for that once I find out what the new armor can do.
Now I have a base to work with.  Great job AA.

[cascarudo]

awesome meshes love the new ironman and the animation of the multi-gun is priceless

[ghazkul]

Wow, so much Iron-Love these days!
Oh, I meant to ask, have you thought of releasing your new mesh without the chest panel as an easy Iron-Patriot mesh?

[grenadier]

Nope, all it needs is someone to skope it and put the right skin.  I set it up so it can be skoped for reasons like that.  I am prepping for a version 2 of war machine.  As to it's release unknown for now. I'm a little ironed out so I might be switching to Asgardian mode for a bit.

[herodad1]

Asgardian mode sounds REALLY good!

[Courtnall6]

Asgardian mode sounds REALLY good!

It sounds really good to me too!

[laughing paradox]

Asgardians? Nice.. do I see a Valkyrie mesh in the future?

[grenadier]

Asgardians? Nice.. do I see a Valkyrie mesh in the future?

I have two characters left to do for my Defenders Set.  She's one of them, but she won't have a horse yet.
I'm still fiddling with Inverse Kinematics.

That is fantastic news.. I love the Defenders so I'm really looking forward to what you are cooking up.

I think I'm going to start skoping some obscure villains from the book, like the Lunatik.

[grenadier]

Some of those meshes are already done : Hulk, Silver Surfer, Hawkeye, Nighthawk, and Sub-Mariner.
Those are my older meshes. I don't plan on revisiting them all because Ren has made some meshes already that works for me.  I plan on adding two more to that list.  A  strange doctor that we all know and a lady with a blade.

[Shogunn2517]

Ooooohhh!  A "strange doctor"!!?

My guess is Cardiac or Mad Thinker!!!

I can't wait!

[herodad1]

cant wait to see those gems!

[bevo]

I love defenders and Dr. Strange specially. Gren maybe you would consider tackling? Sometime?

[Scorpion13mk2]

Im surprised you arent tackling this guy yourself, Bev. Youre no slouch in the meshing department either, as your own thread can attest.

[bevo]

I could mesh it but I can not animate. I can merely make objects with maya. Having tentacles on this guy that do not move is lame I already tried that.

Why don't you model it and Gren animate it? It'd be like a cooperative effort instead of one person doing all of the work.
