My VS MAX Redesign

[cryosin]

What I did:
- Increased the size of various armor pieces.
- Made the Quasar look less like crab hands, as well as a laser beam :lol:
- Changed the color of the visor.

I just took what a lot of people complained about, some of my own gripes, and modified various parts. I really like the way the MAX looks, but a few things felt off to me.

I'm really interested to what you guys think about the Qausar(Gun on the right). The Armor was an after-thought, but I really wanted to change the look of the gun.

:groovy:

here's the original for reference:

Side by side before and after shot?

[super pretendo]

Looks the same. Just make it like concept art and we're good

[Pyreal]

The helmet looks like a big smiley face with ******* eyes, as per orig version. But still, anyone see that?

Added the original as an image.

I prefer the original. Your take looks like the monster from a Godzilla movie.

Lol. Well the other MAX's look big and beefy, so I wanted to match them ;).

And no, I just noticed the smiley face. That's pretty funny lol.

[Arcsilver]

i never saw anything wrong with the original vs max, but i must say that blue visor looks terrific. I hope it is available in the cash shop

[DirtyBird]

hmmm didnt realise I'd clicked on the original and was arguing with a mate here about how well I thought the minor adjustments looked.

The streamlining of the gun,
Practical cod piece resize,
Reduction of elephantiasis affected calves,
Pruning of the shoulder growth.

He pointed out the one I was appraising was the original.....oops:

[SixShooter]

I prefer the original but I like how the visor looks more shiny and reflective.:)

[cryosin]

What do you guys think about the Gun though? I'm more okay with the Armor, even though its not as hefty as the other empires.

The Quasar(gun on the right) looked really off to me, that's where I started with the redesign. The rest of it was kinda like, "okay why not".

Once again I prefer the original, it's more streamlined and blade like.

I just don't think the VS Max needs to be any more beefy. It's supposed to be sleeker than the other factions and it's supposed to be more agile. I think it's a great effort and I can see what you were going for but I just like the original better.

Hopefully there will be customizations for people who do want that beefier look. :)

I like both designs and think itd be kewl if they sold max redesigns like this in the cash shop. I like your visor best too. I think that dark blue looks better than the orange. Great job on the redesign.

[IHateMMOs]

The thing I like about the VS max is that it's sort of predicting what the Vanu aliens looked like, they may have looked exactly like the max, and might have even had the claw arms and the shoulder wings.

I agree on the cash shop. Hopefully customizations would go far enough to let you re-design your model!

[Grognard]

Both remind me of popeye... needs more balance in the lower/upper arm to me.

[AzureWatcher]

I like the original. It's much more sleek and streamlined, which is what the Vanu are all about.

Edit: Good photoshop, though!

[Kran De Loy]

I like the original.

Leaves open more options to add cosmetics to personal taste.

[Azren]

I prefere the "crab hands"

[Envenom]

Excellent. Make the VS Maxes larger. The TR approves of larger targets.

[BlueSkies]

Either way, it looks like a villain from the Power Rangers

[Reizod]

Great photoshop editing. However, I like the original VS Max look. More streamlined which is what I like about VS.

[ThermalReaper]

There was this long sort of cannon weapon in the concept arts. That's a weapon I'd love to see in the game. One second till I find the concept art.

Is that awesome or what?

[OutlawDr]

The current in game vanu max we've seen in recent videos, needs less bulky looking hands, and beefier arms.

[Gugabalog]

I like the redesign better 100%

[SeanNewBoy]

I like parts of your new version, i would love to get costume unlocks in the store to be able to mix and match. Coming from Star Trek Online, i will probably never be fully satisfied with, costumes/visual appearance customization in PS2.

[cryosin]

Thanks for all your feedback everyone. I hope we do get some awesome 3D model customizations :)
