Jetpack

Post by Viech »

The jetpack is a backpack providing flight abilities that the human can wear on top of its clothes, the light and potentially the upcoming medium armor.

Concept by alex_bo:

The jets shall later be animated to (un)fold as you can see in the two sketches. You can also make the wings so that they are inside the body at first and slide or rotate into position when the jets are extended. Both animations should play rather quickly. You can animate the model yourself if you want to, otherwise we can assign the finished model to an animator.

Can't wait to see! By the way lhdc, I've emailed you the human male mesh. We also have a female model in-progress, but it shouldn't be too different. It can just be scaled to fit her back.

It only needs to fit over the back. You don't really need to attach it with anything.

made the base, my main concern here is get the proportions right.
and the size of the jetpack in relation to the body.

Yeah, I guess proportions are a little off here. First of all I'm unsure about whether and how we can add the side wings without interfering with the arms, so you might disregard them for now. Then, the jetpack body should be a bit bigger. You obviously can't make it much wider but try to make it a bit longer and thicker. (Even though everything is thin in the future, some thickness is fine here since the jets need to have some offset to not burn the clones' butts. :smile: )

the jets will pop out, making then a little more out, but will also make the whole thing thicker.
will forget the wings for now then :)

Made some adjustments with the moving parts, increase the whole thickness too, and made it a little longer, made some "doors" to the wings slide out.
