thanks
I like the glowing parts on that tripod.
If I was gonna be honest the movements are a little funky
But I mean
That thing is huge
That looks awesome
Thanks

Make it go up to the surface slowly also very cool
Like the legs will go to the surface first then next is the body
Changes:
-Legs now come out first
-Fixed some of the leg twitching
-Lights now have a power up too!
-Added more particle effects

Atm Im working on limiting how fast the torso and head can rotate

Heat rays have been modeled!
Looks cool

Heat Rays are positioned relative to the head and now swing when tripod is walking

Heatray Deploy added
I think some work can be done on the particles, unless it's something that's gonna appear like hundreds of times don't be shy and use multiple emitters; the general dust cloud is a compromise between transparency for the surroundings and opaqueness to hide the forming hole, but you can create multiple emitters as needs arise, such as one for the darker, heavier dust that would barely lift off the ground but can get rather far, another for the finer clouds that rise higher, etc
Giving a variety of particles really slices the blandness of it, particles can make something look either amazing or really cheap sadly
could you elaborate
I'll hopefully cuke up with an example tomorrow

I love War of The Worlds, especially the 2005 movie.
But, in the movie, they seem to forget one thing: the black deadly smoke stuff that is emitted from the Tripod (which is mentioned in the book)
I think it would be cool if you could incorporate that feature, to make the Tripod how it was originally designed.
fighting machine
yes fighting machine
they should’ve added the other machines into the movie
and not just the tripod 😭
Well, after a long time, I got back to this project!
- Basic AI
- Heatray can kill you now
- Custom spotlight lighting system (adds lights across the beam, lens flare)
- Indenpendent spotlight movement
- bunch of fixes,..

oh I sure kept my promise there
but GOD that is so good
@uncut vale did you see this yet or
oh
he wasn't in the thread so
well absolutely beautiful
the custom system is amazing considering roblox has rather harsh render limit regions
yeah
wish they added longer ranges on lights
and maybe make the surface light actually adapt and make it spherical on a cylinders side
How did it know we are near them
It didnt, it turned around while wandering, when it did, I got into its field of view.
Though I am gonna make it so during night, they will have to use their spotlights
ah okay
Oooo yeah that's super cool
thanks
YOU’RE BACK ON THE PROJECT 🎉👏🥳
this is amazing! Maby in the future there could be diffrent variants of the tripods like in the recent movie with tom cruise
holy crap seeing that tripod turn to look at you is terrifying
The movie didn't forget this, the movie just didn't add it
Same reason the film doesn't have all the other machines
Most adaptations tend to sray pretty far from the novel
The original aliens were weird tentical creatures from Mars that came down in giant bullets
Octopus
Update:
- Heatrays now burn down trees
- Screen Shake when near feet
- Feet now adapt to the ground (WIP. Yes, I know you cant really see it in this clip)
- Sounds cut off when death
- Starting to remake leg animations (WIP)

it's so terrifying seeing it looming above
Ok, i have never seen the movie but it looks like the strider from HL2.
that makes me so angry
Is it a good movie?
it looks NOTHING like a hl2 strider other than it having 3 legs
I haven't watched the movie but from what ive seen it looks good
Nah nah nah
you just proved my point
the hl2 strider probably was inspired by the design of the wotw tripod
Nah
The movie is from 2005
HL2 is from 2004.
But i get it.
there's wotw movies that have came out before 2004
Mmmmh
Dam, the strider from hl2 looks like the one from wotw.
lol
anyways.
I guess every strider looks like the same.
*With 3 legs
reminder just because something has 3 legs, is a pod shape and is tall does not mean it's a hl2 strider
exactly
- Added some extra animations to the torso and heatrays
- WIP 3D Tentacles
- Modelled cages
- Added a WIP effect to the custom light system for immitation of volumetric light

ohh damn that looks very nice
The head
holy hel
uh quick question if i may
how do you even work with ikcontrol?????????????
(if that's what is helping with procedural anim)
because my god i wanna try and use it
I only use the IKControl for the spikes at the front as they don't have that many bones and it does the job right. The legs and heatrays are controlled using a custom script I made
very cool 👍
that would be terrifying to see irl
bro is finding his penny in the tree
god i wish i could achieve something like this with gerald
is it me or
the head is big
while the legs is small
and short
thats how it is in the movies
huh
but yes
oh yeah they're

Hello guys, one small update
This project has been discontinued since late November 2023. Instead I have been working with the people working on a WOTW project in unity. In this project my focus is to make better procedural animations.
This is the most recent public devlog video:
At 47:54 they show off the new animation system more in-depth.
https://youtu.be/MPPlL_IhgTY
Work in progress pre-alpha gameplay, everything is subject to change, nothing is final
It’s been a while since our last public update but things have been moving behind the scenes. I wanted to have this video for you guys around New Years but I had some severe project corruption issues around Christmas that set me back quite a bit. We’re all ...
Thank you
